BARRIE TEACHES A LESSON IN ‘HALF AN HOUR’ Spiritualism at Colonial—Walsh at Regent—Connie at Circle
The works of Sir James Barrij are not for the few. His writings are universal In their appeal—he talks to the allege professor and the banker, to the landlady and the society Reader, and be talks to you and lne, If him a chance. " He Is “talking" today thrpugh the medium of the screen at the Alhambra where his Interesting “Half An Hour" is on view with Dorothy Dalton in a role of wide opportunity. “Half An Hour” teaches a big lesson — that ba PP lne9s , hour, from which , the picture takes Dorothy Dolton. lts nauae . a!1 tbe drama In a lifetime culminates, and makes the woman see her error. Miss Dalton has an unexcelled opportunity In this play, her dramatic work Is so intense and unforced. Her support is excellent, all members of the cast seem to fit exactly into tbe characters of the famous play. Charles Richman is lier leading man, and does soma fine work. Opinion—A definite triumph for Miss Dalton, a play that has an appeal and an interesting lesson for all. At the Alhambra today, tomorrow and Wednesday.
CONNIE WORKS FOR HER LIVING. Constance is much prettier and has more punch in “Good References” than In her previous pictures. We liked her acting, and she has all her old appeal; but her play this time Is certainly not good enough for her. It Is funny, and gives Constance many chances to furnish laughts, but lacks the quality and novelty that we expect in a Connie Talmadge picture. Connie is refreshing, and gives life to the photoplay; in fact, she is almost all the picture. Connie is cast as a working girl, who gets a position under false pretenses, and has a busy time keeping her young employer out of trouble. Incidentally, she furnishes enough laughs'-to go around, and is a sueceess without any help from the play, or much from the cast. Ned Sparks is the only other member of the cast who aids Miss Talmadge materially. Tarkington's “Edgar” also appears in an enjoyable story of Sunday School days. At the Circle all week.
MOVIE OF UNDERWORLD NOW AT THE REGENT. “From Now On” is a story of the underworld by Frank L. Packard, who wrote “The Miracle Man,” which is a good example of what can be done to a crook story when the author uses brains and careful consideration in developing his characters. George Walsh is the featured player in “From Now On,” which is the current offering at the Regent * id the star is seen as Dave Henderson, who at first has a bunch of tue’ coin of the realm, but some clever crooks does the rest and the said money vanishes. Walsh enters the home of the crooks with the intention of getting back some of his money and the remainder of the story concerns his efforts to regain his fortune. There is • plenty of action in “From Now On.” -i. BERK S A PICTURE THAT WILL HOLD YOU. Entirely devoid of any religious aspect, but with a powerful plot and wonderful direction, “The Great Redeemer.” current ittraction at the Colonial, strikes a note f spiritualism that should convince the most confirmed skentic there is more basis for belief in things unknown than mere talk. “The Great Redeemer” is a wonderful photoplay—things morbid and unreal have no place in its theme. The story is simple, and the picture Is full of action and carries with it a lesson that sticks. The Image of Jesus Christ appears on

Keep Your Blood Pure Nature Will Do the Rest
Did you know that (ninety per cent of all human ailments depend upon the condition of your blood? Nature gives her warnings in various unmistakable ways, so that when the appetite fails, and you become weak and listless and a general run-down condition seems to take possession of the whole body, it is an unfailing sign that impurities will steadily accumulate until your gen■alth will be seriously Effected.

OH! WHAT A MAN THOMAS MEIGHAN. Just suppose, girls, you were a war worker in France and fell in love with a chap who looked like a million dollars in a captain's uniform, but in civilian clothes he looked “turrible.” He comes back from war, when be is thought to be dead, to claim his wife, tbe girl who raved over ills uniform. but when she saw him in civics, well, it was "turrible.’’ The wife had not told her dear parents that she was a married woman and when her soldier husband becomes a butler in her own home, just to teach his wife nott o be a snob, well, it is “turrible”—that’s the story of “Civilian Clothes,” with Thomas Meighan and Martha Mansfield in the two principal roles. “Civilian Clothes” is a sparkling comedv and worth a visit to the Ohio this wk.

the principal roles and a better cast could not be found. The transformation of Dan Malloy, two-gun stick-up man, not without principles, but too weak to uphold them, to Dan Malloy, student and believer, is one of the best pieces of work Mr. Peters has accomplished. “The Great Redeemer” is a peculiar picture. A mixture of comedy, melodrama and spiritualism, although the latter has only a small‘part in the plot, th£ ultimate outcome of the destinies of the principal characters is directly due to the image on tbe wall. Opli ion: A wonderful picture, skil- | fully directed and carried to its climax In a pleasing manner. -I- -I- -!- DOROTHY HAS ADVENTURE IN MOVIE AT THE ISIS. “Little Miss Rebellion" Is a movie In which the jaw of adventure has been Interestingly injected and one gets the same Impression in seeing this movie as is obtained in witnessing some of the several attempts of George Cohan to poke fun at somebody and everything in a stage production. In “Little Miss Rebellion.” Dorothy Gish starts out ua n ltttle grand duchess in the land of somewhere, and when revolution shakes her kingdom she is forced to fry “plates of wheat” In a New York resaurant, but nn American chap, a real Prince Charming, comes along.

Oh, if If s Alright Whafs Wrong in It? WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—“ Every man In Washington Is an active flirt,” says Sirs. Sarah V. Darling, Washington’s first police woman, in an appeal for an “anti-mashing" campaign. •Every one Is flirting,’’ she said; "the Iceman, the carpenter, the furnace man, the chauffeur—and every kind of man, and yes—even the nice man. “Os course, it Is harmless enough, but it promotes a spirit of recklessness.”

ABSENT ARTISTS HEARD IN PERSON Makers of Records Entertain Packed House. Singers who aro head In many Indianapolis homes ench evening, but never “seen in person," took part in a concert given last night at English’s by eight makers of Victor records. The idea of seeing these Victor artists appealed to so many people that tbe theater was packed with their admirers. Among those appearing were the Peerless Quartette, composed of Albert Campbell, Henry Burr, John Meyer and Frank Croxton; Fred Van Eps, banjo player; Monroe Silver, a story tells; Frank Hants, pianist, Hnd Billey Murray, tenor, who is an artist in putting over light songs. The Peerless Quartette was an easy favorite of the evening and the singers were compelled, both in their quartette work as well as in their solo numbers, to answer many encores. Billy Murray held up the concert with “My Little Bimbo Down on the Bainbo Isle” and also with “The Profiteering Blues,” a selection which every Victor owner seemed to possess. “Feather Your Nest," as done by Campbell and Burr in a tenor duet, proved to be another winner on the program. Henry Burr contributed another outstanding hit of the concert by singing “Blue Diamonds,” a pretty little song which reaches the heart. Billy Murray acted as master of ceremonies and hts ready wit was another reason the concert went over to such applause. This enjoyable evening was made possible by the Victor deulers of Indianapolis.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life — By Ann Lisle
CHAPTER LXXXII. “Thank you,” I said. “I appreciated the splendid way you’re breaking through your reserve—to help me about Phoebe and Neal. They are only—good friends.” “All right—if that's what you want me to think. But don’t let Evelyn Mason get her claws into the boy—she’ll scratch deep. I know”— Something in his voice made me wonder if Virginia’s hatred of Evvy was all on Jim's account. Had Evvy Mason any part in Virginia’s estrangement from Pat Dalton—had Pat Dalton any part in the broken-engagement that had taken my Jim from Evvy and save,d him for me? Pat Dalton's voice cut across my thoughts with the curt suddenness of a whiplash: “Mrs. Jimmie, I‘m no altruist —I didn’t bring you here Just to tell you about Evvy.” "I can guess that," I replied, smiling* with a sudden feeling of liking for this man who was twisting and warping the thread of his life so miserably that even I could see some of the knots and breaks. “I want to know if Jim feels friendly enough to see me new and then. I've always kept up with him. I’d like to see a bit of him." ’’l’ve never heard Jim say a word against you, Mr. Dalton. But do you think, in loyalty—to Virginia, j.a could be —friends with yon?" At last the forbidden word had been spoken. Virginia's name lay between us like a challenge. Pat Dalton took his nervous fingers from the steam of bis glass and laid them flat on the table before him. For a moment he sat with downcast lids staring at them. Then he looked out on the avenue. His blue eves roved everywhere but toward my face. "Virginia." he said. “Mrs. Jimmie, what does she say about me?" 1 gusped. ! wanted to soften the truth. But there was no way.
“She has never spoken of you to me,” I replied. “Jeanle never mentions me? Jeanie—well, I might have known that she wouldn’t. Have an loe, Mrs. Jimmie? Really not? All right then—check, please.” And my tea with Pat Dalton was over. Gravely at the door he put me into a taxicab, and stood with gray head uncovered until we had rolled far down the street, and X couldn't make out his figure any longer through the little window’ at the bACk of tbe cab. With an air of finality he went out of my life. But I know that I've not done with Pat Dalton. And I wonder if Virginia is finished with him.—Copyright, 1020. (To B Continued.) PETROVA’S SPOUSE HERE. Dr. John D. Stewart, former Indianapolis physician and husband of Olga Petrova, who appeared at B. F. Keith’s last week, left for New York City today, after spending the week-end here with his wife and friends.
