Notes and Comment on a Number of Things of Interest in the World of the Stage
!»r w. r. MrDermott |
NDIANAPOLI8 takes on in theatrical importance with th# opening of the Stuart Walker season st the Murat Monday evening. As In preceding summers a number of new plays destined for Broadway and by writers of the first nnk will have their introductory presentation here. Other plays of more than passing importance will be given in addition to pieces typical of the season-by-season commercial successes and intended to be effective in roundly entertaining the greatest number. Th# plays will be staged, Mr. Walker give* assurance, with the care and completeness that has characterized his summer productions of the past. Frank Zimmerer’s connection with the company at his old post of
scenic director gives promise of interesting and eye-pleasing settings. Some faces familiar during previous summers will be missed from the organization. but many of those responsible In great part for the popularity of the company are back for the present engagement. Much may be expected from Blanche Yurka, an actress of high and recognized talent, who will have important parts in the season’s opening bills. John Wray, not so well khown. is also spoken of as a competent actor. Before the season passes George Gaul, now playing In "The Ouija Board," incidentally reported not so bad as it sounds, and Margaret Mower, appearing in the Chicago casb of “Welcome StrangeT,” are likely to get to Indianapolis for a visit as members of Mr. .Walker’s company. Meanwhile, there’ will be Aldrich Bowker, Elizabeth Patterson. Judith Lowry. McKay Morris and

WILSON O.K.’S VIRGINIA
f From s Staff Correspondent 1
CHICAGO, May 2»—George Porter, banker, of this city and president of the Young Men's Lowden League, came near having another first name, according to a story which is not altogether new but la being told anew about the hotel lobbies where politicians gather. George Porter’s father was H. H. Porter, a Chicago financier and a close friend of George M. Pullman, whose daughters, by the way, became the wife of Frank O. Lowden. now Governor of Illinois. H. H. Porter thought the world and all of George M. Pullman, and when the aon. who it now president of the Young Men’s Lowden league, was born, Father Porter wished to name him Pullman by way of compliment to his old friend. But mothers are usually quicker witted than fathers. Thus It came about that the name of the president of the Young Men's Lowden League is George Instead of Pullman
Porter.
Water, water everywhere in sight in Lake Michigan as the natiohal convention forces gather at the hotels on Michigan boulevard, but not a drop to drink In these expectant pre-con-vention days unless you have a friend, or a friend that knows a friend who knows where a nip is to be had. It will be the first “dry’’ national convention. It won’t be bone dry, however, for now and then one gets a whiff of the old days in a
tell-tale breath, and here and there one sees a stagger. Lots of fellows came to Chicago expecting to "connect up” with a little somethingwhite mule, if nothing better—but they are having to hunt around a good deal to find it. In their hunting they ask In low voice many a time: "Can you lead me to a place where It is?" The disappointment spreading over their faces when they fail to get the desired answer would be regarded by some folks as pa-
thetic.
Of the 984 delegates to the Republican national convention. which meets here June 8. tYventy-six will be women. Of the 984 alternate delegates. 129 will be women. These ftgurt*a are compiled from lists of delegates reported to the Republican national committee. Indiana did not choose a woman delegate, though several women alternates were chosen. The plan for the state convention to select at least one woman, a delegate-at-large, was supressed by a move of the old guard. Congressman Will R. Wood, of the Tenth district, was recognized by pre-arrange-ment. when the time came for nominating Indiana’s delegates-at-large. and he moved that New, Watson, Goodrich and Beveridge be declared elected. Th’fe motion was put and carried in short order. The congressional districts were never called for nominations. In some states a report is out that women will not be seated as delegates. Telegrams of inquiry are coming in. It appears that there is no good ground for such reports.

LETTER TO SENATOR GLASS WASHINGTON. May 29.—The platform adopted by Virginia Democrats last week was Indorsed Friday by President Wilson as ’’in full accord with my o«vn Viewa. especially the statement which sets forth the attitude of the party on the league of nations and the pressing problems of peace, finance and reconetructlon." The Virginia platform, drafted by Senator Glass, of that state, praised the President for "steadfastly standing for the covenant” agreed to at Versailles and condemned the Republican reservations as destructive of the purposes of the league.

[By the Associated Preee) CHICAGO, May 29.—Decisions in four of the contests among delegations to the Republican national contention probably will settle all of the disputes, whfch involve 122 seats, members of the national committee said today.

candidate though it is generally m;. derstood that he is not without hope. The convention will be made up very largely of uninstructed delegates. Early in the year the federal administration let It be known that it hoped the policy of sending uninstructed delegates would be observed ami the request has been very generally respected. Under a longstanding Democratic convention rule it will require the votes of twothirds of the delegates to nominate. There is considerable agitation in favor of revoking this rule, but the same agitation has taken place prior to the meeting of every Democratic national convention for many years and has always failed to produce results. So the prevailing flew is that the -two-thirds rule will stand for
the coming convention.
When It comes to prophesying as to the probable nominee of the convention difficulties are encountered. It is c- coraHy assumed that the administration will be in control of

Concerned It has been
ought to know what they are talking about that President Wilson is more concerned in the platform utterances of the convention than In the condldate. but it Is a safe guess that he Is Interested in both platform and candidate. The political party in control in the executive department always has at Its command a large and influential following of federal office holders, and thi* following is apt to enable the administration, If it so desires, to control a
nominating convention.
While not an unusual number of office-holders have been chosen na delegates to the San Francisco convention. It will in all probability turrt out that the keen nolitlcians among the federal office-holders will be on the ground and In charge of the Important developments. Many Demecrats and also a considerable number of Republicans will be glad to have information as,, to the probable wishes of the Predident with respect to the
candidate.
Some time ago it was assumed that Attorney-General Palmer was the favorite of the administration, but there are representatives of the party who question this. Likewise there are influential men in the party who doubt whether McAdoo is to he regarded as the candidate of the ad-
ministration.
Talk of Davl* as Favorite.
Recently there has been some Inside talk to the effect that John W. Davis, ambassador to Great Britain, is President Wilson’s favorite. This
may or may not be the fact.
The only man included In the list of candidates who may be regarded as actually anti-administration is Hoke Smith, senator from Georgia. The senator Is not in sympathy Vith the President’s peace policy and, generally speaking, has been out of touch with the administration for tbe last * three years. E. M. House, who formerly was the President’s chief adviser on political matters, has let it be known that he is disposed to favor the nomination of Senator Hitchcock. The Tammany organization in New \ork city has caused Vice-President Marshall no little embarrassment by announcing that it favors his nomin-
ation.
Governor Edwards, of New Jersey, is the favorite of the persons and organizations that would set aside the prohibition amendment. It is obvious that the Democrats will be guided a good deal by the outcome of the Republican convention. This will be true in all prob- ’ ability aa to both candidate and platform. „
Opinion
There
there is difference of opinion among influential men In the Democratic party. There Is not entire harmony over the treaty of peace and particularly over the league of nations covenant. If as predicted the administration controls the convention, the plank in the platform dealing with the treaty of peace will undoubtedly be written by President Wilson himself. There is small probability, it seems now, of the convention acceding to the demands of the “wets” for an attack on prohibition. But it is altogether likely that there will be much parleying over this matter before the platfojm is adopted. 2*000 CARRIERS IN PARTY
