Indiana Obtains
Full Color Film
The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine Coming Soon.

THE Trail of the Lonesome Pine,
feature length picture in full color,
is to be shown at the Indiana
Theater soon, according to I. M
Halperin, Indiana Circle manager.
The future of color in movies was
enthusiastically predicted following
a special showing of the picture in
Hollywood recently. What some of
the film folk think about color fol-
lows:
Cecil B. DeMille, who may pro-
duce future pictures in color, de-
clared: Color always is intensi-
fed when photographed. Eliminat-
ing that sharpness and brillance
is the problem ahead. Henry Hatha-
way believes he has found the So
luton and applied his theory in
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.
I am sure that this picture will be
the first great color film"
Bing Crosby: From what little
I've seen Of it, I'm convinced that
color will be the medium for all
screen plays in the future"
Sylvia Sidney: I'm no produc-
ton expert, but I do know that
color adds greatly to the realism
and beauty of a film"
Fred MacMurray: For color to
survive, the intelligent use Of it
must be maintained. If color is
played down as Hathaway is doing,
the public will relish having more
and more pictures in natural
color"
Henry Hathaway, director of
1.-THE Trail of the Lonesome Pine:
"You can't get me to predict any
thing. In regard to this picture, I
know that you will see an entirely
new use of color which greatly
should enhance the cause

tice when Michael Bartlett, the
handsome tenor, does an operate
rendition Of the ditty that is a
masterpiece of arrangement.
If Farley and Riley had never
reached Hollywood the picture still
would be one of the top notch
musicals. Contrary to what one
might expect, the producers have
moulded the added attraction of
the Round and Round" number
into the film most skillfully, and
showing just enough of the authors
TO utilize their newsworthiness.
The story centers about Harry
Wallace (Mr. Richman), Broad
way musical comedy star, who quits
New York because his manager
won't put Farley and Riley in the
show. He wanders through the
South and lands in Mississippi
river town.
Curious, Wallace goes aboard a
show boat. Accidentally he is Sc
lected by Susanna Courtney Roch-
ellie Hudson), daughter of the own
er, to play in the company's melo-
drama. For fun Harry decides to
go along ar falls in love with
Susanna
Hires Farley and Riley
Meanwhile, Harry's manager
hires Farley and Riley and puts
their song into the production.
Then he can't find Harry.
Wallace wires his manager to
come to the boat and sells him the
idea of incorporating the melo-
drama N the show.
But the New York audience, in
stead of weeping at the plight of
the emoting of the out-moded
actors. Susanna and her father
(Walter' Connolly leave the pro-
duction and go back to trouping,
which proves a losing game. Of
course, Harry comes to her and all
ends happily
This picture has just about
everything. 1t should make the
audiences sing Justify with Mr..
Richman, for he can put over
song like no singer except AL Jol-
son. Some of his best numbers are
Life Begins When You're in Love-"
Rolling Along" "There'll Be No
South" and Lets Co."
Victor Schertzinger deserves a lot
of credit for his direction, by max
ing Mr.. Richman sing instead of
act. He z lso sensed the right spots
for comedy elief of which there
is pleasant overdose. One of the
funniest scenes is comic dance by
two unidentified Negroes.
Accountable acting makes the
show boat melodrama, The Belle
of Charleston" funny enough to
be repeated three times without
becoming monotonous.
Walter Connolly does excellently
with his part of Hector Courtney,
ld-school actor who likes his bot
tie; Miss Hudson is unusually con-
vincing, and Lionel Stander con-
tributes heavily to the comic ele-
ment as Wallace's stooge
AS light comedy, this picture is
packed with more real entertain
ment than any two musical films
we've seen.

Percy Lowe was one of those that be-
lieved it. He had been in the theater
game 40 years and knew about such
things. When death rang the buzzer
for Percy's last curtain yesterday
afternoon, he had just one thing
to say before he answered.
Take 1t over boys, he said. II can't
90 on"
He was not melodramatic sort of
fellow and he didn't think he was
making touching scene then. BY
nature he was casual, friendly, in
clined to joke. Whether he was trying
to lure the stage cat out from beneath
a sofa where two actors were sitting
in full view of everybody and at
tempting to sing love duet, or
whether he dashed about looking for
a lost baZooka belonging to a hill
billy band, he seemed to think it was
fun to be around the stage. He liked
being a property man and those with
whom he worked liked him for that.
One can say Percy was not melo-
dramatic because in a conversation
not more than a week ago, in answer
to the usual "How's it going?" he re-
piled "It's going fine as long as we
keep going, itsn't it?"
He did not follow up with a lot of
self-pitying talk about his weak heart.
Those of us who encountered him
just casually back stage never heard
Of that. But several months ago he
told Gene Ford. the house manager,
Il know it won't be long now, but
want to die right here on the stage.
7 want 10 die with my boots on"
He will be missed back there be-
hind the curtains where the real life
Of the stage is lived, but every one
at least is glad he went the way he
wanted.

KING C0TTON'S POVERTY
GRAPHICALLY DEPICTED

march of Time" Appears on
R-K-o Keith Screen With MARY
of Scotland" in Second Week"
THE sad plight of the impoverished
cotton-f1eld workers in the South
is recounted in a highly dramatic and
exceedingly interesting fashion in the
new release of the March of Time" "
which yesterday opened at R-K-O
Keith's as Mary Of Scotland" started
its second week.
The current issue of March of
Time" presents an interesting picture
Of the faults Of the country's cotton
growing system, pointing at the de-
cline in prices, the Government s
plowing-under policy, and the gain in
cotton imports while use of domestic
cotton declined, all of which brought
ruin to the sharecroppers and cotton
growers alike, brought on the strikes
and fare-ups of violence which
followed.
March of Time" also tells the story
of the auto trailer and the rise OF the
modern covered wagon, from its con-
ception by fellow who couldn't raise
u trick tent, to today, when Roger
Babson predicts that within 20 years
half the country's population will be
living in auto trailers. The third sub
ject treated by Time is case of King
Z0g and Albania, which now has be-
come one of Mussolini's prize back
doors.
1t was expected, Of course, that the
engagement of R-K-O Radios Mary
of Scotland" would be extended. Com
plants have been raised that the
poetic language of Maxwell Ander-
sons stage play was superior to the
dialogue of the film, that Katharine
Hepburn plays Katharine Hepburn
just as much as she plays Mary Stu
art, Queen of the Scots, and that the
photoplay has made Boutwell, q ro-
mantle figure instead of the chap he
was, but withal Hollywood's Mary of
Scotland" is an imposing film drama
that should be seen by all who appre-
ciate intelligence in the cinema.
The film is powerful and poignant
as 1t tells of the futile life of Mary
Stuart and the screen has. in one way,
done something the play could not,
in that much that could merely be
implied in Anderson's words on the
stage Is brought to visual realization
in the motion picture. Katharine Hep
burn, even If she is just Hepburn in
some scenes (Which really is nothing
to complain about), has other Sc
quences where she does some of the
best acting Of her screen career. Fred
ric March, too, Is fine as the fiery,
swashbuckling Boutwell,. John Ford's
direction is something akin to inspired
and all of these things combine to
make Mary Of Scotland" a film to
see. HI. M,

Water Gate
Concert Is
MusicTreat
Colorful Program
Under Sevitzky's
Conducting.

"HE twelfth Water Gate Concert
this season was given last
evening with Fabien SevitzFy
L conducting and Helen Stover,
Soprano, as soloist. Mr.. Sevitzky
chose a varied and colorful program
opening with the brilliant Schehcra-
zade suite of Rimsky- Korsakoff and
closing with Tschaikowsky's Caprice
Italienne," a composition of as much
variety. The orcehstra's other num-
Der was a suite for strings written by
Corelli, which was outstanding IN its
beauty and richness of harmony. In
his conducting Mr.. Sevitzky succeeds
in obtaining the most delicate of
pianissimoS, an evidence Of ert, yet
not always a success in the open air.
Mr.. Sevitzky's work is vital and his
movements always graceful, suggestive
that he might formerly have been
an interpretative dancer. At the close
of the program the conductor was re-
called a number of times and re-
sponded to a double encore, playing
two Russian songs arranged for Or
chestra, and he graciously announced
them to his audience. His playing
of the famous Volga Boat Song was
novel, and unfamiliar, bringing out
other themes than that which is so
popular. The other encore number
was also song arranged for orches-
ira, the Sailors Song from The
Red Poppy"
Helen Stover sang the famous
Ritorna Vincitor from Verdi's Aida"
displaying a voice of real beauty,
her clear high tones showing to ad-
vantage in the aria, which she sang
with finished phrasing and an ample
sense of the dramatic. Singing in
