I have unwillingly given my consent on my part to serve the Republican party as a candidate for President. ! appreciate the honor that has been given me by members of my pc^y in working for me in this presidential campaign.

| By W. F. MeDerwsttl TUART WALKER, announces “officially” that his organisation will begin its summer engagement at the Murat on the evening of May 31. The personnel of the company, according to the authoritative brochure, will include "a goodly number of old favorites. in addition to several players who are new to Indianapolis.” The announcement is similarly informative in respect to the pieces to be presented, which will include "plays from the current and past Broadway successes and some interesting new plays.” Mr. Walker and his confederates are expected to arrive In Indianapolis ten days before the opening date, to begin rehearsals. The forthcoming summer appears likely to see a country-wide revival of the stock company. Twenty-seven cities outside New York, including many that for years have struggled through the summer months without legitimate attractions, will this season have resident companies. Philadelphia, long without summer bills, is to be diverted with a company that will put on none but George M. Cohan plays. Denver, too. will have a stock organization, after a long period of deprivation. Not more than two years ago it was agreed among the wise men of the theater that the stock company was dead, doomed by the pictures. The corpse undeniably is stirring. It is easy to exaggerate the Importance of the recrudescence of the stock company. All it indicates at bottom, perhaps, is an increase in the steadily growing demand for amusement. Yet it should have an appreciable effect on the general trend of the theater considered as something more-than a business. New players, players that would not have their chance otherwise, will be developed Better actors will be made of experienced players. The stock company is the great training school for actors, the only school in the opinion of such competent veterans as Louis Calvert. The more stock companies, then. If there is anything in the theory, the better the acting. * The stock company, too. gives opportunity for experiments in staging and lighting, develops and gives scope to producers with imagination. It offers a relatively inexpensive method of trying out new plays, some of which, as Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen.” first produced here by Stuart Walker, are well worth doing. The ruling obsession of a certain type of play commentators a few years ago was that the theater could only be saved, artistically speaking, by the abolition of the star system and the substitution, of the repertory plan, under which the play itself might be supposed to get as much attention as the leading woman's dimples and views on tea drinking and Russian art. Now it has come to be understood, even by such actor-bait-ers as George Nathan, that the star system pays, that is, that it pays the producer, and that nothing that is financially profitable in the theater is likely to be abandoned very soon. What is possible is that a repertory theater may come into being alongside of and not exclusive of the present system. In the hands of an able and imaginative producer the ordinary summer stock season can be made a repertory season. The difference is mainly one of choice of play*, casting of players and degree of perfection in th# detail* o«f production. Indianapolis, with the annual summer engagements of Stuart Walker. comes as near having a repertory company, In the best sense of the word, as any city in America. A new method of making stars overnight seems lately to be disturbing the regular functioning of the theatrical solar system. George White one year ago was a more or less ob-

scure vaudeville dancer. Somewhere, somehow, he got hold of the capital necessary to financing a show or his own. "Scandals of 1919.” Not unnaturally he appointed himself to a prominent place in the cast and In the billboard advertising. His fellow-play-ers and employes took occasion during the course of the entertainment to make it plain who George White was. The name is now familiar to every one of the large number who saw Scandals” and to many who did not. It would have taken many years of work and perhaps much more talent to raise Mr. White by ordinary procedure to the position he has reached ,n \ f S w 8,K » r t months by the simple method of buying a show of his own. Fanchon and Marco, also dancers, at English’s this week, employed the same plan. Neither was known in these backward parts until they were introduced as stars in their own production. In the natural order of things theatrical, they would be very likely to continue to bloom obscurely. Now their names mean something in Indianapolis and wnerever else they have played. What they mean is unimportant. In becoming known as stars they have achieved the actor’s dearest ambition. Billie Taylor, Stella Mayhew’s matr^nonial and vaudeville partner, ought to get a hearty greeting at Keith’s next week. Taylor was stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison for many months during the war and made numerous friends. He is out of uniform now and back at his old job of accompanying Miss Mayhew’s songs. “The Bonehead,” a satire on dear old Greenwich Village and the dwellers therein, was the only new play presented in New York this week. Frederick Arnold Kummer is the author, and the producer is Claud Beerbohm, son of the late Sir Herbert Tree. "Alice in Wonderland.” from Lewis Carrol’s story, acted by Mabel Taliaferro and others, was the interesting production at a special children’s matinee during the week. Floren* Ziegfeld, with his keen eye for art, has signed up Miacha Elman, the violinist, binding the latter to compose the score of an operetta planned for fall production. No less than Augustus Thopias will write the book, and Gene Buck, of "Follies*’ fame, will provide the lyrics.

Little Theater Programs

The date of the eighth and final Little Theater performance for the regular season has been postponed from April 23 to Thursday night. May •, when three one-act pieces will be presented. The regular fortnightly meeting of the Little Theater at the City Library auditorium next Tuesday night will take up for reading and discussion two one-act .plays.

Bates, ’’Asaph,’’ given at English's June 15, 1918, and “The Dryad and the Deacon.” which formed part of the bill of plays by Indiana authors, given at Masonic Temple March 26.

LIVU AND WAGES

HARD COAL SUBCOMMITTEE ISSUES A DENIAL.

NO PROFITEERING FIGURES

NEW YORK. April 17.—Additional data purporting to shew that their earnings are not keeping pace with the cost of living, were submitted by the anthracite min* workers at yesterday's session Of the subcommittee oC^mtnef* and operator* appointed to negotiate a new wage agreement for the hard coal region. The new matters were presented by the workers in reply to operators* exhibit relating to rates, opportunity for employment and earnings. The demand of the workers for a 66 per cent, wage Increase also was generally discussed. The committee adjourned without taking any action. The subcommittee at the close of the conference Issued a statement, which said: "The committee has not at any time had before it figures and data carried as news by the Associated Press quoting statements alleged to have been made before the committee purporting to show excessive profits or profiteering by the anthracite operators.” The story referred to by the statement was carried by the Associated Press and published In morning papers of April 16. It was taken from an article in the United Mine Workers' Journal, the official publication of the mine workers, which was printed under the heading "argument presented by the miners to the anthracite operators a? the Joint wage conference at New York.” President Lewis Explains. « John L. Lewis, international president of the Uaited Mine Workers, Issued a statement last night saying responsibility for publication of the story lay with the official publication of the mine workers. “Our official organ." he said, "acting under the impression that certain data had been presented, used this matter for publication, the editor of the paper not being familiar with the arrangement jointly entered into by the conference that ail official statements would be given to the public by James Gorman, secretary of the conference." Mr. Lewie said the statement made public by the committee, which wa* drawn up by Mr. Gorman, had not been presented to the subcommittee for approval. Miners’ representatives on the subcommittee declared that "general data” on the profits of the operator# had boon submitted by them the latter part of last week .but the employers refused to participate In the discussion or such statistics. As a result, they said, the data on the profits of the specific mining companies had been held in abeyance.
