Come Right Over and Meet
a Crooning Profession
‘Storm at Daybreak’ Reveals World-Old Triangle of Wife,
Lover, Husband, but Played Against a War Background.
BY WALTER D, HICKMAN
TUCK your song books right under your arm and trot off to the class
room where Prof. Bing Crosby tells you in melody how and why
Romeo landed on Juliet’s balcony.
And you will hear one of the daring modern pupils in this daring
modern college classroom ask information on the way Cleopatra landed
her men.
Prof. Crosby answers everything in melody, just learn to croon and
no man will pass by. In other words, I am telling you that “College Hu
mor' 1 at last is with us. This thing I want to make clear.
mor" at last is with us. This thing I
I know that critics over the coun- 1
try generally have taken adverse
views of “College Humor.’’ Well,
I for one was nearly read off the ;
critical map because I raved over
the real theater in “Abie’s Irish
Rose.” Am going
on record telling
you that “College
Humor” is romping,
wild satire and bur
lesque. It is rip
snortin’ theater. It
has youth and pep.
And the result is
that people all over
the country are
waiting in line at
the box office to see
it. And the Lyric
is standing them
up to see this one.
If there was only
handful of people
•t ” ‘ ''
Bing Crosby
in the theater I w r ould tell you that
here is corking good hokum theater.
It pokes more fun at colleges than
anything we have had on the
screen. Some of the comedy be
longs to the horse-laugh variety, but
it is always theater. And a funny
thing when you study the situations
on “College Humor,” as Jack Oakie
getting a bachelor of arts degree
for spending four years in college
and then working as a truck driver
in a creamery after graduation, you
will find maybe they are not so
foolish and crazy.
It is true, the scenic background
didn’t cost much, and not one sec
ond of any scene from a scenic
standpoint can compare to “Gold
Diggers” or “42d Street.”
And then, why is “College Humor”
such a big favorite with the fans
over the country? Many answers.
First, the cast is popular proof.
Consider these names. Bing Crosby
is no longer camera shy and he is
one of the best known radio
crooners. Then take Jack Oakie
as Barney. w r ho thinks college is a
sort of night, dub. This man has
made millions laugh on the screen
before and he wall make more laugh
in “College Humor.”
And look at this team—Burns and
Allen. They haven’t so much to do,
but Grade is as crazy as ever. Then
for good measure we have Richard
Arlen, Mary Carlisle, Ma:ry Kohn
man and others.
Although the atmosphere of this
college is satire and burlesque, yet
we are able to recognize its serious
opposites in real life.
The prize football player goes
crazy over a co-ed sweetie, The
sweetie goes ga-ga over a crooning
professor. Too much bottle (said
bottle did not contain milk) and our
hero is kicked out of colllege. Then
the big football game.
One of the numbers I like best is
“The Old Ox Road,” and it has
been well developed with practically
no scenic background at all.
It is the human simplicity of this
nutty and wild burlesque of college
life as it does not exist that makes
• College Humor” such entertaining
theater.
Let me know if I am right or
wrong.
Now at the Lyric.
a a ts
LOVE TRIANGLE
AGAIN BECOMES TRAGIC
More I consider “Storm at Day
break." the more I am convinced
that here is a good study of the
tragic but ancient triangle the
wife, lover and husband.
The story opens with the assassi
nation of Archduke Ferdinand of
Austria and his
consort. These
scenes have been
produced on a
lavish studio scale
by the director,
Richard Boleslav
sky, who knows
better than any
other living di
rector ho w to
handle mobs pro
test in g against
govern meat or
the heads of gov
ernment. During
the disorder, you
meet Gez a, a
'+A <■
Kay Francis
young Hungarian officer (played by
Nils Asther) and Dushan, mayor of
a Serbian town (played by Walter
Huston). Both are great friends.
Then when war is declared and
Geza is in charge, the two friends,
meet on Dushan's estate while Geza
is searching for deserters. Dushan
has a very young wife, much young
er than himself, and a very lovely
woman. Os course, the wife is Kay
Francis. A woman who can wear
clinging long skirts better than any
other woman on the screen today.
Dushan and his wife Irma re
minded me of the good saying—
December in love with June.
And so a great love develops be
tween Dushan's wife and Geza.
Then the story works tip to a tragic
climax. Dushan, to give the lovers
a clear open road, drives himself
to death with the villain of the
story.
Here is powerful and intelligent
dramatic theater. The scenes in
the Serbian towns are beautifully
constructed. All the have
been splendidly and intelligently
playetL
Here is mighty good dramatic ■
theater. Watch the character work
of Huston. Much different than he
has done in the past.
Now at the Palace.

TOO MUCH OF
THE FORGOTTEN MAN IDEA
As far as I am concerned there
is too much of the forgotten man
idea in “Heroes For Sale.”
Jt is the patient and appealing
work of Richard Barthelmess that
gives this movi’i*
whatever merit it
has. The author
allows the lor-,
gotten man to re
main the forgotten
man too long. Tom
just couldn’t have
suffered and yield
to so much un
necessary and far
fetched suffering as
he does in “Heroes
For Sale.” The
fact is that poor
Tom is one of the
most long suffering
heroes I have seen
on the screen. And
Richard
Barthelmess
he is made to suffer for something
that he wasn’t to blame. He was a
hero in the World War and he
allows a cheat to take all of his
glory and medals. You see that the
theme is pretty haywire and does
not convince.
I want you to be your own judge,
but as far as I am concerned so
many of these forgotten men stories
are not theater, meaning enter
tainment, even if the acting is as
sincere as that of Barthelmess.
There is plenty of evidence that
even the director was in doubt heap
ing so much trouble upon the
shoulders of Tom. There just isn’t
any sunshine in Tom’s life. And the
end of Tom’s career is just too far
fetched for the wildest imagination
in the theater.
Some of the revolutionary talk on
the part of the radicals in the story
is not good theater. The cast is
peopled with real actors such as
Barthelmess, Loretta Young, Aline
MacMahon, Charles Grapewln and
Grant Mitchell.
This theatrical story is out of step
with the amusement taste of the
day. Please have your own idea. I
have.
Now at the Circle.

CONSIDERING
“DOUBLE HARNESS”
Ann Harding had a really fine
vehicle in “When Ladies Meet.”
That can not be said of “Double
Harness.” This one is just an ordi
nary story lifted at times out of
the ranks of being just “another
movie” because of
the individual act
ing of Miss Hard
ing.
Here *is a story
of a modern girl,
approaching the
old maid period of
her life, who de
cides to get her
man by using
methods which are
not according to
Hoyle. Here is a
good woman sud
denly becoming a
mistress to a no
account type of a
w!
. Xv
Ann Harding
rounder w T ho loves -
one woman and then slides into
the embraces of another discontent
ed female. Just why Joan Colby
(Miss Harding' wanted to annex
such a speciman of the male for a
lifetime companion is beyond me. ■
If she had to sin to get a husband, I
why didn’t she get a real guy, so I
to speak. William Powell is not 1
happy as John Fletcher, a male i
daisy. In fact, Powell has been I
slipping in definite character work j
lately, according to my way of
thinking.
Joan frames it so that her father
walks into John's apartment while
the two are “sinning'’ some more or
getting ready to. Then the author
pulls a blaze shotgun wedding idea
and Joan marches John to the altar.
Even married. John still wants
to play in other women's drawing
rooms and bedrooms. Joan does
succeed in getting him to attend to
his shipping business. And then.
John learns that his wife tricked
him into marriage.
,Then the big bust-up with the
other woman not only around the
comer, but in the same room with
the wife. Oh, hurm Os course,
there is the silly Hollywood ending
for little wife and foolish hubby.
Sets are nice. Direction and act
ing better than the story. But wait
—this picture has box office draw
ing power because Miss Harding is
in the cast. Struggle as she is ca
pable. Miss Harding can not make
this another “When Ladies Meet.”
Be your own judge. Now at the
Apollo.

History of Court
Following the meeting the Ko
komo Tribune printed the follow
ing account of the establishment of
Kokomo court No. 33.
Institution of the local court of
the Ben-Hur Life Association took
place nearly four decades ago, and
the event is well remembered by
many who were residents here at
that time.
“In the thirty-eight years which
have passed since the establish-1
ment of the Kokomo court many
of those who became members at'
the institution of the chapter have
passed away and many others have
moved from Kokomo. However, a
number of the charter members
still are residents here.
“A few years ago, to the end that
the organization's name might re
flect more accurately its activities, a
change was made from the Tribe of
Ben-Hur to the Ben-Hur Life As
sociation, the latter being its pres
ent official title.
Pays Large Claims
“In its thirty-eight years of opera
tion in Kokomo the Order of Ben-
Hur has paid in cash to beneficiaries i
under its policies held in Kokomo
court, more than SIOO,OOO in addi
tion to a large sum expended in
fraternal aid for local members.
“The record is one in which the
order's local circle justifiably can
take pride. In Kokomo the Ben-
Hur order has established itself well
