NOV. 5, 1032. THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES CHARLES PURCELL TOPS CAST OF âCHOCOLATE SOLDIERâ Joan Blondell, Ann Dvorak, Bette Davis and Warren Wil- liam Have Leading Roles in âThree on a Match,â Now at the Indiana Theater. JOAN BLONDELL. Ann Dvorak. Bette Davis and Warren William are .1 starred in "Three on a Match,â which i snow playing at the Indiana theater for a week's engagement. Three on a Matchâ was directed for First National by Merwyn Le Roy, who made "Little Caesar.â âFive-Star Finalâ and âTwo Seconds.â The contrasting stories of three girls are brought together in this production in such a manner that they cause many startling dramatic situations, which are claimed to be innovations in screen story material. Three young girls graduate from grade school together and they part. Ten years later they are brought together again. In the meantime. Fate has played some queer tricks. 1 One of the girls has become the wife of & wealthy and influential lawyer, another a hard-working stenographer, and the third, a hoy- denish blond, has become a grad- uate of the reform school, and a wise-cracking show girl. The events of this meeting and the situations caused by it form the main plot of the story. âRambling Round Radio Row' also is on this week's program. It features Kate Smith, the Boswell Sisters. Colonel Stoopnagel and Bud. and Abe Lyman and his band. Hal LeĂov and Mitzi Mayfair are shown j in âTit-Tat-Toe.â Dessa Byrd is presenting âOkay. l Audience,â at the organ. She is; featuring Basil Hobbs, the singing usher. A Paramount news reel com- pletes the program. man A NEW SHERLOCK ARRIVES AT APOLLO Perhaps no fiction character ever created has become so charmingly real as âSherlock Holmes,â created by the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of what is easily the best de- tective literature in English. The character of Holmes, Doyle has told us, partly was suggested by his student memories of Dr. Jo- seph Bell of the Edinburgh infir- mary, whose diagnostic intuitions uesd to startle his patients apti pupils. Rut there is abundant evidence that the invention of the scientific detective conformed to a funda- mental logic in Doyle's own temper and his keen, flexible, imagination. It was not until Doyle obtained his degree of Doctor of Medcine, opened an office as an eye special- ist and waited for patients that never arrived, that he began to see the possibilities of âSherlock Holmes.â Since Doyle created âSherlock Holmesâ he has had a host of imi- tators, and must be regarded as the literary ancestor of a large army of scientific detectives, who have ap- peared between the covers of books as well as on the stage and screen. Doyle wrote the story on which âSherlock Holmes," the new Fox picture, now playing at the Apollo theater with Clive Brook playing the leading role, is based. It was prepared for the screen by Bertram Milhauser and William K. Howard, who also directed the film version. Supporting Brook is a cast that Includes Miriam Jordan, beautiful young English actress, in the lead- ing feminine role, Ernest Torrence, in the role of âMoriarity,â arch ene- my of the famous detective; Alan Mowbray, Montague Shaw, Howard Leeds, Arnold Lucy, Lucien Prival and Roy D'Arcy. Supplementing the featured at- traction are Movietone News, Slim Summerville in âOfficer Save My Child," and "Strange As It Seems.â nan NOTED LUBITSCH MOVIE IS HERE Ernest Lubltsch's "Trouble in Paradiseâ opened yesterday at the 0 Circle, with Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Mershell, Charlie Ruggles and Edward Everett Hor- ton in ihs heading roles. âTrouble in Paradiseâ is an adap- tation of a witty farce by Laszlo Aladar, Viennese playwright. With easy good humor it relates the adventures of two super crooks, Miss Hopkins and Marshall, who are so adept that they not only prey without detection upon European society, out, in more playful mo- ments, skillfully steal each othersâ garters. Ultimately they select Miss Fran- cis. a lovely widow with a bank balance containing as many zeroes as the European war debt, as a victim. Miss Francis, apparently, falls easily into their trap. But then Miss Hopkins discovers some- thing wrong with her partner in rrime. The prospective victim pos- sesses charms for him that have nothing to do with her fortune. A farcical but dramatic climax ul- timately sets the course of true love to rights. The program includes, in addition to the film, the regular Paramount Sound News, Betty Boop in âThe Rizzy Bee,â and the Vita phone boys and girls in another singing and dancing novelty, âPicking a Win- ner.â ana âRED DUSTâ OPENS AT THE PALACE The brutal, fever-bound, danger- ous. but withal glamorous existence of life on a rubber plantation in Indo-China is revealed in âRed Dust." when opened Friday at Loews Palace for exclusive Indi- anapolis engagement, as a co-star- ring vehicle for Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. Apparently no effort was spared to bring the Wilson Collison stage hit. the screen with all its origi- nal power. Gable offers in cast the brutalized plantation overseer who repulses a girl of his own sort when a French engineer brings his beautiful young wife to the tropics. Miss Harlow is the woman of easy virtues who makes regular trips up the river from Saigon, eventually finds the man she really wants to settle down with, and then has to put up a terrflc fight for him. Mary Astor plays the role of the unfaithful wife who becomes in- volved in an affair with Gable. Gene Raymond is the young husband. Donald Crisp, the former overseer of the plantation who first brought Miss Harlow to the plantation. Tully Marshall has a small supporting role and Forrester Harvey is the river-boat pilot who connects the remote locality with the civilized world. Short subjects which comprise the balance of the program include a Charley Chase comedy entitled, âYoung Ironsides,â Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's Sport Champions in a time- i ly football specialty. âBlocks and Tackles" and the most recent issue of t&e.
