SOCIETY WOMAN IS MOVIE ACTRESS A Few More Words About a Merry Farce

Mrs. Morgan Belmont, one of the most prominent of the younger society matrons, has announced her intention of becoming a motion picture actress. She has signed a contract and will go west to make her first appearance soon. Before her marriage Mrs. Belmont was Miss Margaret F. Andrews, daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Paul Andrewj of Newport.. She is a daughter-in-law of August Belmont. \ Mrs. Belmont has already acted foi the camera. > She played a very minor part ia D. W. “ 'Way Down East.” -I- -I- -IJUST A FEW MORE WORDS ABOUT A FARCE. -- As good as the play was on the stage, and as we saw it at the Murat last fall. That is the screen version of “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath,” by C. W. Bell and Mark Swan, which is now at the Ohio. In addition, we might say that the cast Is much better for this play than the legitimate stage boasted in Indianapolis. s The play is not radically -altered; the characters remain as the ruithor first intended them to be. And the whole plot of the story Is the same. Reggie makes the same “bonebead * mistakes that he made on (he stage. In fact, we believe that this city appreciated a play of this type better when displayed through the medium of the photoplays. Its more objectionable lines, at least those which shocked the middle west, are eliminated, and all the situations, due to tbe censorship of the films, are less glaring and therefore more appreciable than on tbe stage. “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath” is a farce on married life and deals with the efforts of Reggio Irving to make bis wife believe that he is a “devil" with the ladies. His actions are just the opposite of what would he expected of a normal young man, and his wife is Just as exceptional. Asa photoplay, “Parlor, Bedroom and bath” ranks high In the list of farces, and Ruth Stonehouie Is charming in the chief feminine role. Will be at the Ohio all this week. *|- 4“A Very Good Young Man" Is the cur- , rent offering at the Murat.' Popular vaudeville continues at the 1

The present low price for gasoline in the Middle West is due in large measure to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in refining and distributing its products. The Standard Oil Company (Indi-, ana) maintains an elaborate research department, which has enabled it to increase the amount of high grade gasoline obtainable from crude oil. The efficiency of the manufacturing department, plus the all but perfect system of distribution, enables the company to render an ' ' unique but necessary service to everyone in the Middle West who, either directly or indirectly, relies upon automotive machinery for power. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has maintained, and will continue to maintain, the lowest possible price for petroleum products consistent with proper security to ' its stockholders. , Standard Oil Company (Indiana J | " 910 So.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By DAVID CORY.

Well, after the lovely Princess had finished singing to the shepherd woman's baby In the last story, there came across the meadow the clear, sharp Dotes of a horn, and pretty soon a number of horsemsn rode up. “Is the Princess here?” asked the leader of the kind shepherd, who had “She Put the Baby Over Her Slioulder and Started for Home." ’ i stepped outside on hearing them ride up. “Yes, she Is Inside,” he replied, with a low bow.
