Three on a Match” was directed for First National by Merwyn Le Roy, who made "Little Caesar.” “Five-Star Final” and “Two Seconds.” 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. “Rambling Round Radio Row' also is on this week's program. It features Kate Smith, the Boswell Sisters.

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 “Sherlock Holmes,” 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 “Sherlock Holmes.” Since Doyle created “Sherlock Holmes” 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 “Sherlock 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 “Moriarity,” 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 “Officer Save My Child," and "Strange As It Seems.” nan NOTED LUBITSCH MOVIE IS HERE Ernest Lubltsch's "Trouble in Paradise” opened yesterday at the 0 Circle, with Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Mershell, Charlie Ruggles and Edward Everett Hor- ton in ihs heading roles. “Trouble in Paradise” 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 others’ 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 “The Rizzy Bee,” and the Vita phone boys and girls in another singing and dancing novelty, “Picking a Win- ner.” ana “RED DUST” 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 “Red 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, “Young Ironsides,” Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's Sport Champions in a time- i ly football specialty. “Blocks and Tackles" and the most recent issue of t&e.

manA NEW SHERLOCKARRIVES AT APOLLO

Perhaps no fiction character evercreated has become so charminglyreal as “Sherlock Holmes,” createdby the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,author of what is easily the best de-tective literature in English.

The character of Holmes, Doylehas told us, partly was suggestedby his student memories of Dr. Jo-seph Bell of the Edinburgh infir-mary, whose diagnostic intuitionsuesd to startle his patients aptipupils.

Rut there is abundant evidencethat the invention of the scientificdetective conformed to a funda-mental logic in Doyle's own temperand his keen, flexible, imagination.

It was not until Doyle obtainedhis degree of Doctor of Medcine,opened an office as an eye special-ist and waited for patients thatnever arrived, that he began to seethe possibilities of “SherlockHolmes.”

Since Doyle created “SherlockHolmes” he has had a host of imi-tators, and must be regarded as theliterary ancestor of a large army ofscientific detectives, who have ap-peared between the covers of booksas well as on the stage and screen.

Doyle wrote the story on which“Sherlock Holmes," the new Foxpicture, now playing at the Apollotheater with Clive Brook playingthe leading role, is based. It wasprepared for the screen by BertramMilhauser and William K. Howard,who also directed the film version.

Supporting Brook is a cast thatIncludes Miriam Jordan, beautifulyoung English actress, in the lead-ing feminine role, Ernest Torrence,in the role of “Moriarity,” arch ene-my of the famous detective; AlanMowbray, Montague Shaw, HowardLeeds, Arnold Lucy, Lucien Privaland Roy D'Arcy.

Supplementing the featured at-traction are Movietone News, SlimSummerville in “Officer Save MyChild," and "Strange As It Seems.”

Butthen Miss Hopkins discovers some-thing wrong with her partner inrrime. The prospective victim pos-sesses charms for him that havenothing to do with her fortune.

A farcical but dramatic climax ul-timately sets the course of true loveto rights.

Gable offers in cast the brutalizedplantation overseer who repulses agirl of his own sort when a Frenchengineer brings his beautiful youngwife to the tropics.

Miss Harlow is the woman of easyvirtues who makes regular trips upthe river from Saigon, eventuallyfinds the man she really wants tosettle down with, and then has toput up a terrflc fight for him.

Jack Wright

The operetta’s plot is based onGeorge Bernard Shawls comedy.“Arms and the Man.” It hardlyneeds repeating. However, for thebenefit of delinquent memories itcan be said it jests at war and sol-diering and provides a complicationof comical situations.

The warrior of chocolate fame,pursued by the enemy, hides him-self in the boudoir of the daughter■of the colonel of the opposing forcesand thus begins a romance of muchimportance.

The tale continues to a date justafter the close of the war betweenBulgaria and Serbia, when thechocolate soldier returns to inter-rupt the young lady's wedding.

The company is a large one andincludes in addition to Purcell sev-eral bright luminaries, such as MaryAkins, former prima donna of theSan Francisco Opera Company andprotege of Madame Matzenhauer ofthe Metropolitan Opera Company ofNew York* John Dunsmure, SarahEdwards. Edmond Mulcahy, Laur-etta Brislin and Tomes Chapman.

There is also a mixed singing en-semble of thirty-six voices and aspecial orchestra of twenty men.with Mat. Fichandler wielding thebaton.
