lywood gone at the task on quite such a wholcsalo scale as within to open the fourth annual season of Temple Forum lectures in Temple Beth El, Tuesday evening, Nov. 17. There are 10 lectures in the series, on consecutive Tuesdays. "Alone Across the Top of the World" will be the subject of a motion picture lecture by David Irwin, the twenty-four-year-old explorer who is the only white man to cross the Arctic alone, at 3:30 Sunday afternoon at the Detroit Institute of Arts. At Canning River, on the bleak Arctic coast, Irwin began his two-year, trek.

Treacherous ice collapsed, drowned his dog team and forced him to live by his rifle alone. He hunted caribou, seal and whale. For a time he traveled with the Carl Lomen Reindeer Expedition. During six months of his dash across the frozen wastes he saw no living person. All Dressed Up, but Jean Must Don Rags HOLLYWOOD, Oct.

31 Jean Muir is not the happiest girl in these parts. She had herself done over by the experts, who gave her a glamorous appearance, if not a glamorous feeling. Her hair was recontoured and dyed dark, and she was attired in very modish gowns. Thotographs of Jean, in her getup and makeup, gave her a striking resemblance to Myrna Loy. Jean was promised roles In keeping with her new personality, but this week she went to work in a picture having to do with tenant farming.

The inside story of the great game of international politics and trade now moving to its climax in the other Americas will be told by Edward Tomlinson, press, radio and platform authority on South America, when he speaks to the Detroit Town Hall audience in the Fisher Theater Wednesday morning. Last summer Mr.

Tomlinson attended the League of Nations sessions in Geneva, with an eye to their effect on the Latin-American nations. Following his Town Hall lesture, he sails with the United States delegation, headed by Secretary of State Hull, for the Pan-American Conference In Buenos Aires, where he will be the NBC radio commentator. Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent, fresh back from war-torn Spain, will be the Town Hall speaker Nov. 11. He fills the date of Negley Farson, who because of illness will appear later in the season.

Three former stars of stage and screen will be seen in "Wanted: Jane Turner." They are Aileen Pringle, of silent days; Irene Franklin, longtime vaudeville head-liner, and Bryant Washburn, picture star of ten years ago. Dancers Extraordinary THROUGH constant misuse the expression "dancers extraordinary" has become so trite that its onetime significance was long since destroyed. However, there occasionally comes along an individual or a team to whom the term can correctly be applied. This is the case with Charlotte and Charles Lamberton, brother and sister, whose dancing is one of the features of Dave Apollon's Revue on the Michigan stage. Charlotte, a titian haired beauty, and Charles dance together with seemingly effortless rhythmic precision, yet they never hear a note of the music played by the orchestra, because both are deaf mutes.

They achieved fame on their native West coast and on Broadway because of their abiKty to respond to musical vibrations. The boat of the drum reaches them through the soles of their feet, and they follow as perfectly as if every note came to them bird clear. While her brother studied art in Los Angeles, Charlotte and her mother journeyed to New York last Spring in search of an engagement. A two week's trial for Charlotte at the Hollywood genuine article. It is all very amusing to the seasoned scribes, as well as as presented by Gcorgo Abbott is to streamlined, so svelte, so silvery that the audience yearns for a good, robust Eliza to rush screaming through an old fashioned blizzard, leaping from ice cake to ice cake with enthusiasm and hoping, perhaps, for a St.

Bernard with a brandy keg around its neck to hove in view. Only in Mr. Abbott's production, one would expect, rather than a St. Bernard with a brandy keg, a bevy of zebras toting magnums of champagne. They do come out with the subtle touch of the old-fashioned motif, but it remains, denniately remains, a sort of pret-tilield, psuedo-sophisticated version of a very old-fashioned, a very lavable and a very sad drama of Topsy and Eva, of Uncle Tom and Simon Lcgree.

It is the Uncle Tom of St. Clare plantation of 1852, for Walter Price plays the role with a sound sincerity. He gives a remarkable performance of the part in his surroundings of almost a futuristic production. What "Sweet River" lacks is the touch of authenticity, the correct dialog that Roark Bradford gave to the "The Green Pastures." In short it is a beautiful show, and musical in a lachrymose manner, for the production is lavish, luxurious and generous. One wishes only that there was less orchidaceous production, and more of the hardy, human atmosphere of, say, "Porgy." There is a most able cast, aside from Price as Uncle Tom.

Best is Betty Philson as Eva, and, potentially, another Shirley Temple. public whose only idea of how a newspaper is conducted run would probably be a better word in this instance is that regis SEAT SALE TOMORROW, 9 A. M. EVFNIaT.S BU 10 SI 20 J2.75 WtD. tni SAT.
