NEW MUSICAL REVUE TO OPEN THE MURAT

Jimmy Hussey's 'Tattle-Tales' Has Old Favorites in Its Cast.

‘B9 EAST CLOSES WALKER'S SEASON

Jimmy Hussey's aew musical revue, “Tattle-Tales, ’• will open the fall season at the Murat on Labor day afternoon, September 6. The season at the Murat was scheduled to open with “The Passing Show of 1919," but as this Winter Garden show Is being held over another month in Chicago, the Indianapolis engagement was postponed.

The book and many of the lyrics of “Tattle-Tales** are by Mr. Hussey, who Is also its principal player. The rest of the lyrics are by Howard Johnson and the mnsle by Archie Gottler. In lathe cast besides Hussey are Rae Samuels, well known to local vaudeville audiences; Jean Tennyson, Maurice Dia- * mend, Lola Girlie, Callahan and Edwards, Keegan and Edwards, William Worsley and Johnny Dundee, a pugilist, for whom the author has written a burlesque said to he as absurdly fuffiy as some of the burlesques of the famous Weber and Fields days. STUART WALKER WILL END SUCCESSFUL SEASON. Following the final attraction of the Stuart Walker Company at the Murat

next week, the players, who have worked so diligently to give In<£alapoSs an ir. teresting season of suuu.'r repertory, will wash off their greaoejaint a:nl hie themselTf's back to Erocdutyr. For the closing week Mrv Walker has chosen Rachel Crothars’ (lassie comedy of boarding-house life. "39 .Mast." Mr. Walker, who believes >h:it last impressions are best, has seleaed this delightful comedy because it gibes a splendid opportunity to sxe the members of his company in intending and distinctive roles. Penelope Penn, the daughter of an indigent country parson, conies to New Y’ork tq seek her fortune as a singer. She takes lodgings in tin- shabbygenteel hoarding-house opstufil by Mrs. D? Mailly at 31) Bast. Discovering only too soo*’. that there is no chance for an untrained voice in the great city, Penelope Is forced to enter the chorus to keep the wolf from ' the door. Her worst fear is that heT inquisitive j fellow-boarders will find out what she is doing. In Central park one day, while picnicking with Napoleon Gibbs, a rich young nan who has been attracted to 39 East

because she is there, Penelope confesses to him that she Is a chorus girl. The news threatens to destroy their pretty romance until Napoleon's better judgment comes to the fore. / He attempts to rescue this little country mouse from what appears to be her inevitable fate. However, Penelope indignantly resents his attitude and runs away from him to keep her appointment with a wicked theatrical manager. In the nick of time Napoleon saves hr, and as a reward Penelope gives him her heart. Stuart Walker and Beatrice Maude will be seen as the yonng lovers. Judith Lowry is cast as the suave, tactful boarding house mistress, Mrs. Do Mflilly. As the kittenish Widow Smith. Elizabeth Patterson will be seen in another one of her interesting characterizations. Others of the Stuart Walker Company who will enliven the closing bill include John Wray, I.uel Davis, George Somnes, Julia McMahon and James Morgan. x The entire production is staged under the personal direction of Stuart Walker, with special settings by Frank J. Zitnmerer. -I- -!- -f----“ABE MARTIN” REMAINS ANOTHER WEEK AT ENGLISH'S Judging from the emphatic bit scored in Indianapolis by ‘‘Abe Martin," this musical comedy produced by Boyle Woolfolk will continue to piny t > capacity houses all next week, which will conclude its stay at English's. “Abe Mari in" provides unique and refreshing entertainment and the genial Brown county philosopher is just as quaint and funny on the stage, as played by G. Carleton Guy, as he is in the printed page. The support given Mr. Guy by Johnny Gilmore, Henry Alfredo, Minnie Burke, Dorothy Freund, Otto Kerner and others of the principals is satisfactory. Felix Rice's musical numbers have caught on and most everybody is whistling “Fiddlin’ Around,” the song it of the show, sung by "Abo” himself. SOON TO BE SEEN AT THE MURAT THEATER. Arthur Hammerstein will present at the Murat for a week’s engagement lieginning Monday, Sept. 13 his new musical comedy, “Always You.” Another early booking at the Murat will be "The Little Blue Devil,” with Mabel MeCJne in the cast.
