DOTH TAR KINGTON'S new comedy. “Clarence," which has attracted much favorable comment during it# long run# in New York and Chicago, comes to English's Monday for a week s stay. Like other Tarkington pieces, this is a comedy of character rather than plot. The hero, a demobilised soldier, but not a military hero, is a shy young man. not a caricature, but a queer, awkward, unsocial individual looking for a Job. He finds employment in the home of a rich man with an interesting family. In the hostile, electric atmosphere of this home Clarence expands in unexpected fashion. The friction between the members of the family gives him a Job that he can handle. The two children are Tarkington adolescents. The girl. Cora, is a spoiled child of sixteen, sentimental, modern, pretty and impertinent. The sou, a little older, fancies himself a man of the world. A step-mother who is Jealous of the governess completes the list of characters. Gregory Kelly and Ruth Gordon, who have been playing the sOn and daughter with the Chicago company for some four months, will be seen here, as will the entire Chicago production. The title role will be played by Robert Adams, and others fn the cast are; Grace Filkina, Betty Murray. Byron Beasley, Guy D*Ennery, Clare Btandick. Joe Wallace and James T. Ford. • • • Reginald DeKoven's light opera. "RoWn Hood.” will be the laet attraction of the regular season at English's It is booked for the entire week of May 2.
Marat. The Murat will be dark for professional engagements the first hslf of next week. The latter half of the week the bill is "The Riddle: Woman." with Bertha Kalich In the leading role. The star will bring the company which has been playing with her in New York and Chicago. The play, adapted from European sources, concerns the social conventions and their successful breaking. Mrs. Olrik. the* wife of an important shipowner, is a woman of temperament. A# a young girl she had ridded to the persuasions of a titled vlUialn. who reappears In her life long after her marriage. He ie determined to replenish hie coffers, and a wealthy young heiress, a friend of Mrs. Olrik, is chosen as the bride-to-be. With unconsidered generosity, Mrs. Olrik reveals the man's purpose to the girl. He threatens to tell Olrik of her former relations with him, but his evil intentions are thwarted by the extraordinary tolerance end unexpected knowledge possessed by Olrik.

Tarkington’s “Clarence” and Other Notes and Comment on Things Theatrical
(By W. F. McDwmettl
HE VISIT of "Clarence*' next week is of unusual local importance. Not only is Its author of Indianapolis, but two of its prominent players, Greg-
ory Kelly and Ruth Gordon, are citlaen# by adoption through their association for successive summers with the Stuart Walker Company In its Murat engagements. "Clarence.” moreover, has been accepted generally both by professional critics and by those who pay for their seats as
Mr. Tarkington’s best play.
Hey wood Broun, the competent and seldom estatic reviewer of the New York Tribune, called It. as readers of theatrical advertising may be informed. "the best light comedy written by an American." Thatxovers a wide if not especially rich territory, ignoring the question suggested as to what a “heavy” comedy might be. The paid play commentators made a complete about-face on "Clarence. Mr. Taekington’s plays, as he himself has publicly noted, whether successful or not, have been received by reviewers generally either hostllely or with cold neutrality. After each successive production of his play work almost from "The Man From Home onward, the critical chain gang would solemnly agree that Mr. Tarkington was a great novelist, until the author was moved to wonder if his *■ ~*~ -

Marie Cahill, star of musical comedy, appears at Keith’s next week for the first time in local vaudeville. Miss Cahill ia filling a few weeks in the "two-a-day” with a musical offering. “Cahillisms of mo,” which serves to introduce several new songs, together with a medley of songs made popular in former mueical successes. Marie and Mary McFarland will present a program which embraces a wide range of music.

wright. So strong was Mr. Tarkington’s conviction that play critics could not regard his plays as anything except something not so good gs his novels that he seriously considered writing "Clarence” under a pen name In order to obtain a fair hearing for it. He ventured this idea in a letter to George Tyler, the producer. who apparently dissuaded him. "Clarence.” at any rate, went out under the Tarkington label. It -was more generously and unanimously whooped up both in New York and Chicago than any comedy of the season. The reviewers who only a few weeks previously had emphatically set it down that Tarkington could not write a play were bowled over and profusely apologetic. Hardly a dissenting voice has been heard in the chorus of ardent commendation. More important, the comedy for many weeks continued to break all records in the matter of receipts for plays of
the kind.
Not having seen every comedy, light or heavy, written by an American. the present observer is unprepared to say that "Clarence” Is the best of the lot. It is. however, a first-rate play, shrewdly observant, droll, and smoothly written, altogether lacking in the current hackneyed clap-trap of sentiment and situation. The ordinary theatergoer will find it capital diversion and those who bother about literature will find It a sound and honest piece of writing as well. It was excellently acted in New' York by a company that included Alfred Lunt in the name part, Helen Hayes and Glenn Hunter. The personnel of the Chicago company, which will be seen here, gives promise of a presentation as adequate as that given in New York. Of the ability of two of the important players at least Indianapolis play-
goers have full knowledge.
One result of the association of A. L. Erlanger and Florenz Ziegfeld is a proposal to star Leon Errol, the droll souse of by-gone "Follies.” in a new play written for him by George M. Cohan. Errol was “discovered” by Ziegfeld years ago in a Philadelphia burlesque theater. Both he and Cohan are convinced that Errol can do

rams Is one of the significant indents of this theatrical epoch. Formerly he was a most prolific carpenter of ten-twenty-thirty cent drama. The old Indianapolis Park theater has rung many a time with the screams of his heroines and deviltries of his villains. He was the author of melodramas that became classics on the popular, circuits and were played year after year, and no season passed without a new spinetickler from his facile pen. Now the old Stair & Havlin wheel has passed oi< and he has no place wherein to exhibit his genius except the higherpriced theaters. Apparently, he is having rto trouble in disposing of hia work to a new clientele. He dramatised a play In which Tom Wise was seen here not long ago and he was the adaptor of ”Penrod.” To his new field he is carrying, though not so ol viously in the latter, the same point of view and methods that brought success in the old thirty-cent drama. “The Master Thief” was the sort of play that Rose has written many times over for the Park theater audiences—the same screaming .heroines, dictographs, detective*, wireless apparatus, noise, last-act rescues. Irish comedy, hokum, claptrap. His new audiences may snicker a bit when the old ones used to weep and hiss the villain, but they go to
his plays.
“My Lady Frienda.” a musical play submitted to Indianapolis audiences before its metropolitan premiere, ia doing quite well In New York, thereby encouraging the producer. H. H. Frazee, to Fry it again with a piece called “Ladles’ Day.” Which proves once more that you never can tell. “My Lady Friends” was an entertaining frivolity, well enough acted and up to Broadway standard as they are currently revealed hereabouts, but not as successful in realising its unambitious ends as “For the Defense." a mystery melodrama In which Richard Bennett was starred and which was likewise revealed here preliminary to a New York engagement. “For the Defense" lingered very briefly in the metropolis and is now resting in the obscurity of the storehouse, while “My Lady Friends” lives prosperous-
ly on.
Trust New York for accurate information respecting the hinterland. The following is from the New York TeleSr “Every theatrical man. except a novice, and every company and advance agent, recalls the Denison theater in Indianapolis, which has been on the map for thirty-eight years. That veteran of the drama is to end its career tonight and a new office building and theater are to replace it. The building will cost 12.000.000, which sum Is regarded In Indiana almost as a scandal.” . The Denison was the scene of many a drama, but not that kind. The leggy dancer. La Sylphs, of Georgie white’s "Scandals.” has been re-engaged for the new edition of the attraction. She was one of the interesting features of the 1919 show, but hardly had a chance to extend herself. In the new number she will have more opportunity and something In the way of spec^l scenic embel lishment.

American author, who buys an old castle on the Danube and groes there seeking; “atmosphere.” for a novel as well a# peace and quiet for himself. A charming “ghost” appears and one adventure swiftly leads to another ending In an unusually delightful climax. In addition to the feature Snub Pollard is seen in one of his latest comedies, and a prizma subject and the current news weekly are also shown. J. Warren Kerrigan, in his new picture "lao.OOO,'’ the feature attraction at the Alhambra the first half of the week, bumps into a cyclone of excitement in the role of a lawyer who attempts to recover a diamond necklace stolen by a criminal who operates a gambling den. The sum of 130,000 is left with him as a ransom, but it is stolen from hie office before he has a chance to accomplish his mission. He goes to the gambling place where he wins 130.000 at roulette. He receives In pay for hi# checks a necklace of paste jewel# and he leads a raid that results in a revolver battle, and the recovery of the real diamonds. “The Amateur Wife, in which Irene Castle will be seen at the Isi# the first half of the week, presents her in the role of an awkward, grotesquely dressed girl just out of a French convent. Tragedy overtakes the girl when her mother meets death at the hands of a jealous lover. Prompted by sympathy a man about town, offers to marry her. She accepts his proposal, but the marriage is anything but successful, largely because of her unsophisticated way#. But the story leads to an unexpected
conclusion and Mrs. Castle has an opportunity to wear some striking
gowns of her own design.
Sylvia Breamer and Robert Gor don are the stars In "My Husband’s Other Wife.” the attraction at Smith’s all of the week. The Jltle excites the interest and it is said that the picture can not fall to do otherwise, for It la built on one of the moat dramatic situations in either life or fiction. The situations involved are most unusual and bewildering. Supporting Miss Breamer and Mr. Gordon are Warren Chandler. May McAvoy, Fanny Rice. Gus Alexander. Eddie
Dunn and Margaret Barry.
A story of love and pathoa is "The Broken Butterfly.” starring Lew Cody, the feature at the Crystal all the week. The picture is founded on the novel by Penelope Knapp. Cody is seen in the rote of Darrell Thorne, a young composer who goes to the Canadian woods seeking inspiration for a symphony. There he is attracted by the strange beauty of Marcene whom he finds living with an old woman who poses as her aunt but who in reality kidnapped the girl from her father who had jilted her. Many adventures make the picture one of the most interesting kind. A program made up of short reels will be featured at the Regent the first half of the week. Franklyn Farnum is the star of “Hell’s Fury Gordon.” a stirring story of the west; Snub Pollard is featured In one of his latest comedies. “Shoot on Sight,” another two-reel comedy, “The Janitor’s Harem," and a novelty single
reel also will be shown.
