TOMORROW TO TELL FUTURE OF DEMOCRATS (Continued From Page One.) Nrw, executive secretary of the Demo-c’-atic State Committee, the latter was credited with having had the best organization in many a year. Democrats interested in the future of the party feel there is only one course open to the committee, and that is to revitalize the organization at once and to place it on a basis for developing and meeting issues that will come up In two years. They point out that the Democratic majority in the State Legislature is so small that it can scarcely be utilised for more than pointing out administrative errors and they declare this group of men should be assisted by a party organization constructed for that purpose. “The Republicans are in complete control of the State’s legislative machinery,’’ said a prominent Democrat today, “and they will be alone responsible for their acts. The Democrats, In the interests of State pride, hope they will be successful in meeting many of the ailments confronting us; but at the same time they feci that no party should be allowed a sway that knows no regard for the people. SHOFLD ORGANIZE AS MAJORITY CHECK. “For that reason the Democrats should organize to assist all meritorious acts and to condemn those which they believe are brought about for political expediency or for other motives that do not coincide with the welfare of the people. "If the*Democratic State organization is allowed to go by default it will be a sad day for the party in Indiana. The blow struck last Tuesday was not fatal, but a fatal blow can be struck by leaders who refuse to carry forward the fight for the principles for which they have stood in past campaigns.” The same situation, to a large extent, is true of the Democratic organization In Marlon County. Reginald Sullivan, county chairman, placed in action a thoroughgoing committee that iqade serious Inroads into the Republican majority. If it is allowed to disintegrate, observers believe, it will be years before another such organization can be recruited. Mr. Sullivan had the support of the best element of the party and there is a widespread desire to see the present work continued and enlarged. Democrats generally were cheered by Mr. McAdoo's statement urging organization for the next campaign. His faith, that It will not be difficult, “through proper leadership and organization, to reinspire party enthusiasm, to restore party unity, to maintain party ideals end principles, and to regain popular confidence,” seemed, In the belief of many, to be particularly applicable to the meeting tomorrow. TWO alternatives BEFORE COMMITTEE. If the committee and the leaders feel that the Democrats have been struck a mortal blow the headquarters in the Denison Hotel undoubtedly will be closed at once and the organization will be practically disbanded. Os course the committeemen will hold office until the reorganization In the spring primaries ot 1922, but there would be little Incentive to activity, it is believed, If the central headquarters was abandoned. If the voice of Democratic workers, however, is needed, the will not only decide to continue the Indianapolis headquarters, but will take steps to make the organization more active than it has been before In non-election years. In this connection. It is also apparent that there is no benefit to bo derived from the maintenance of a headquarters without sufficient life in it to make a atate-wide noise. For the first time in the history of tke Democratic party of the State a publicity department that really functioned was maintained in the 1920 campaign. This department can only be kept alive through the installation in beadqu&rtora of someone with the knowledge of how to provide newspapers with publicity and sufficient energy to do it. State-wide regret will follow failure on the part of the Democratic committee to realize that the least it can do toward keeping the party alive in the interval before the next election is to maintain bealquarters and a press bureau through the medium of which the Democrats of the State can keep informed on matters political.
PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory. Now Mr. Ulysses was mighty glad to hare escaped from the giant. Mr. Poly Phemuß, ns I told you in the last story, and for a long time he wouldn't land anywhere, and at last, when tha drinking water was all gone, he made up his mind that at the first sight of land he would dock his boat and till his bottles. At last they came in sight of a beautiful island where there lived the King of the Winds. So Mr. Ulysses ran his boat up to the wharf an**, with the sailors and little Puss Junior, got out and made a call on the King. Now this King was a very nice sort of a man and loved to play bridge whist, so Ulysses and Puss had a very nice time, and when It was time to go the King said to Mr. Clyaaea. "Here Is a leather bag tied with a silver string. Inside I have put all the winds that might be hurtful and dangerous, and I have commanded the fair winds to blow your ship toward your own country." So. Mr. Ulysses thanked him for his kindness and said good-by and got aboard the ship. And away they wen* as fast as you please. And, after singing this song, Mr Ulysses went to sleep. But, oh dear me! while he was dreaming that he was safe at home once a,ratn with his wife —who hnd promised while he was away to knit him a beautiful woolen helmet and sweater —the sailors looked at the bag of winds and wondered what was Inside. Some thought It might contain gold dollars, but one wise sailor said no. it was too light for that, but be thought It might be full of W. S. stamp*. Well, anyway, they untied the silver string and opened the bag. And then—goodness me! Out rushed all the winds and blew the ship far, far away into the middle of the great blue ocean. And when Mr. Ulysses woke up he was so angry that he could have thrown them all into the water. But he didn’t. He made them all get out the oars and row as hard as they could. Now I suppose you are wondering why Puss Junior didn’t keep them from doing such a foolish thing; but when I tell you why you won't. You see, there were jots of rata In the ship, and every night they would come out of their hiding places, when everybody waa asleop except the man at the tiller, and eat up the biscuits. So Puss made up his mind to catch those rats, and while he was down In the cabin the sailors untied the silver string—which, you may be sure, they never would have dared to do If he had been up on deck. Well, It was dreadfully hard work rowing, so Puss got out the grapbophone and made it sing this song: Pull, sailor boy, O pull for the shore! You must trust to your arm and the long, bending oar, You should not have freed the winds from the bag, So pull, sailor boy, and don’t stop to lag. And pretty soon they saw a lovely greeD Island In the distance, and Ln the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1920. t (Te be cun tinned.)
WHITESIDE IS FASCINATING RASCAL ONSTAGE Rosemer Is a Master of Characterization—Vaudeville Bills Run to Melody
In “The Master of Ballantrae” the hero Is a rascal, a fascinating fellow at, that, who decides with a chuckle whether It be death or money with which his victims pay. James Durie in Stevenson’s romantic romance, and I use the term advisedly, is a fascinating rascal, who deserves death when he attempts to swallow his tongue to escape from a dangerous situation. In speaking of romantic romance, the writer hopes to assure the reader that “The Master of Ballantrae” 1s a golden rich in character, beautiful in the humanness of some of the situations, and not one of those cheap imitations of romance. In Stevenson's story one is able to find romance as it should be and the telling of It on the stage by Walker Whiteside and his supporting company loses none of the imaginative richness of the author. That is indeed a credit to Mr. Whiteside and to Carl Mason, who adapted the story for the use of the actor. So many of the so-called romantic plays are looked upon as a mere costume play in which red blood does* not flow through the characters, but not so with “The Master of Ballantrae,” as the characters are not puppets made to go through their paces to rescue a lady fair. There is life to this play, although the story takes p’a?e years ago when swords were worn. The characters are genuine although the atmosphere is romantic—that is what we mean by romantic romance. In his characterization of James Durie, the rascal-hero of Stevenson's story, Walker Whiteside imparts the spirit which romance demands. There can be no romance unless it looks real—real to these who are hunting romance. The test of it is whether the author and actor can make the impossibility of the situations look real and that is the great accomplishment of Mr. Whiteside. Mr. Whiteside with the prope r inflection, the correct shading, the poise as well as the Implied strength for revenge yet the great desire to love if the wolf should turn lamb, has made James Durie, the fascinating and yet lovable villain which the author intended. T ‘ v ■'heor 'trensrth of powerful acting, Walker Whiteside forces even admiration for the fascinating hero villain who would rob his own brother of his wife and money. Such is our sincere tribute to the fine acting revealed last night at English’s by Mr. Whiteside in the first of four performances in “The Master of Ballantrae.” W. Wayne Lynton renders a carefully studied Henry Durla, the younger brother, whom the master seeks to ruin. Miss Sydney Shields rises to the big scene In the second act with Mr. Whiteside with telling effect and redeems herself for her colorless work in the first act. Basil West is effective as Lord

Headaches and dizziness may come, too, and perhaps some annoying kidney irregularity. Get back your health before the trouble becomes serious!

Woodlawn Avenue Chas. W. Hardy, locomotive fireman, 612 Woodlawn av Due, says: ’’Whenever my kidneys get but of order ot my back gets to aching I resort to Doan’s Kidney Pills and It doesn't take them long to relieve tbs trouble. I hare been a locomotive fireman alnce 1909 and the constant rough riding on the engine has a tendency to bring on troubles with my kidneys. I have many a time missed a trip on account of the pains across my baok. I would be ctlzzy by spells and my kidneys wouldn't act regularly. As soon as I feel any of these symptoms coming on I get a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and use them until the trouble becomes corrected.’’ East Morris Street Charles Dean, 907 E. Morris street, says: ‘“My kidneys sot out of order and I was feeling miserable and run down. had spells of bachache and some nights I could hardly get any rest, owing to the misery in my back. I have been a sufferer from asthma for several years and this affected my kidneys and brought on attacks of kidney disorder. I bad to get up a lot at night to pass the kidney secretions and I felt tired all the tfme. One of my family had used Doan’s Kidney Pills with good results ad advised me to try them. I got three boxes at Knannlein's Pharmacy and used them until the troubles became corrected."

Durie. If the term realism can be prop erly applied to romance, and I doubt it, Maurice Barrett as Secundra Dass, the native of India, certainly approaches it in the tongue swallowing scene. Splendid acting that. The big individual accomplishment besides the triumph of Mr. Whiteside is the work of Nancye Stewart as Jessie Brun, a derelict. Nothing bet’er of its kind seen this season.

It is satisfying to record that a character actor is to satisfy a modern vaudeville audience and to cause that type of an audience to actually appreciate character work. Such n triumph belongs to George M. Rosemer, who is presenting a series of character studies under the title of “The Anthology of An Old Actor,” as the brightest spot on the current bill at B. F. Keith’s. Rosemer opens his character work as an old actor, down and out, who is compelled to feast on crackers and condensed milk weakened with water. He strikes a truthful keynote in that characterization which is not “mushy” but possesses a saving sense of humor which convulses the house. Rosemer then glides into several characters, such as the halfwit bay, dramatically and powerfully done, and also a Civil War veteran impersonation in which the striking factor is the comedy. The old soldier is discussing his waj of making the “roal stuff” and allows that it is a success because he dropped a little bit on the floor and after a mouse had licked up a few drops said, “Where Is that darned cat?” Each Impersonation Is coraplrt ■ from the make-up to the voice, find, to our way of thinking, Rosemer Is an artist of the first rank. Frances Pritchard has the assistance of two capable dancers In “Tbs Dance Duel,” and these three dancers offer a dance turn which is s radical depnrtur*. from the regular dancing acts. The act is beautifully mounted and went over with n bang yesterday. Tho writer generally wants to get up and leave the theater when a mtnd-read-ing act is announced, but Zomak, tho latest example of the "unsolved mystery" to appear here. Is so mystifying by the rapidity of her work that one actually gets excited. She makes no effort at showmanship, but wins admiration at the results obtained. Her card trick Is a marvelous achievement. The extremes to which some people go in an attempt to amuse an audience Is well Illustrated when Bert Wheeler exposes bis shirt-tall. If that la comedy I will convulse with lAUgbter the next time I see a trunk of an elephant. Bert ia with Betty Wheeler In “Bits of Everything." Samayoa opens the bill and the Lori tner Hudson Company close the show in a wheel act. The sketch on the bill is “Indoor Sports," which shows two men in the parlors of their beat girls.

Shelby Street Mrs. Duel la Kearney, 1010 Shelby street, says: ‘‘Several fears ago 1 was In a bad condition with kidney disorder. wusn r t able to do a thing about the house for several weeks. I couldn’t rise out of a chair 1 was so lame and I had blinding dlsgy spells. At limes I had no control over the action of my kidneys whatever and my head ached. I tried many different remedies without bent It and finally 1 was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills. 1 took the advice and began using them and when I had finished using tljree boxes I was cored sound and well. I have never since been bothered. I couldn’t recommend a better kidney remedy than Doan's.’’

PRETTY SONGS HEARD AT THE LYRIC. Spring scenery, spring clothes and spring songs helped “Apple Blossom Time" live up to its title. It 1s the headline act at the Lyric this week. The songs were well sung and even with the prospect of an approaching winter, the spring songs were encored again and again. There was wit and dancing as well as singing in this act that helped it get the applause that greeted it. The Mast Kiddies are three tots who sing and dance their way to favor despite their youth. The eldest has some solo songs and dances in which she docs some good work. Jack Neville and company, two men, have a comedy act that brings down the house. One Is a blackface, tha other la an army officer. They have a line of original humor that earns the much 'applause. Two of the members of the Faden trio have voices that tho audience calls for again <4nd again, and the third draws freehand drawings and lies a few lino* and Jokus that make the act one of the most popular on the bill. The Brandes have an act that is a mixture of tumbling, Jokes and stunts that start the bill off right. Wells and Boggs, the Swiss singers, and Jolly Jobny Jones are other acts on the bill.

The cast Includes Clyde J. Bates, ip. his usual tramp role; Sid Gold, who is the best singing Juvenile seen at the Park this season; Dorothy Barnes, who dresses her role lavishly and creates a comic opera atmosphere when on the stage; Tommy O'Neil, an effective dancer, and numerous others.
