If the personal visit of Mr. George Behan to the Circle this week does nothing else than to compel local moviegoers to appreciate clean films and lend Its support to the movement of cleaner and better things on the silver screen, the result will be more than satisfying. Mr. Eeban and his movement for better and cleaner films bat been highly successful from a financial standpoint a# business bas been actual capacity beginning on Tuesday. In all falmees to other producers, Mr. Beban Is not the only producer who stands for clean movies. Griffith has never produced a "smut” picture and others I could mention. The clean picture, if properly advertised, will pay. Mr. Beban knows It and be realizes that the day of the vampire picture Is rapidly passing. An example of the paying qualities of clean pictures Is splendidly Illustrated by the box office success of "Humoresque.” Mr. Beban la his utterances at the Circle this week maintains that he would rather sweep and clean the streets than appear In a “dirty” movie. To be entertaining. a clean movie must be interesting. Entertainment to be interesting does not have to be dirty. And yet in recent years some Mg money, and important coin, has been made off of stage and movie productions which should never bars seen the light of day. The personal visit of Mr. Beban to Indianapolis has bad splendid results as the movie public of this city has heard for the first time a plea from the local stage for clean amusement. More power and Influence to Mr. Beban. Mr. Dixie Hines of New Tork City sends us the following Interesting chatter about Broadway: The stage struck back at its detractors this week in an unmistakable manner. Sunday evening fifteen theaters were advertised for special performances of the best known Broadway plays for the benefit of the starving children of China. The Methodist Episcopal Church was the sponsor, and it is recalled that recently some of the bishops of this denomination and others in conclave declared against admission to their church of actors and other professional entertainers, also Issuing an edict against dancers. At least three successful plays were not produced Sunday evening because the players refused to appear and others declared that had- they remembered this circumstance that they, too, would have declined to donate their services. Ethel Wright, Irish actress, complains of poor proof reading. A reporter, recording a concert given by a well-known Irish society, declares that "the program consisted entirely of garlic songs.” Avery Hopwood, the successful American dramatist, who returned some weeks since from his first visit to Hollywood, the motion picture colony, declares that the film has done more to amalgamate the literary folk than any Instrument thus far recorded Mr. Hopwood calls attention to the great number of famous authors, names high In the literary world, who find the atmosphere of Hollywood congenial and the companionship of dramatic writers, scenario writers and kindred souls entirely harmonious. "It is the melting pot of the literati," declared Mr. Hopwood. "Can you tell me where I will find the lingerie ?” The *peaker was Mile. Phebe, the dancer In "The Greenwich Village Follies,” and she addressed a salesgirl In one of the large department stores. "Lingerie? If you mean the restroom, it'* da tbs third floor."

An Announcement To Indianapolis Theater Patrons IT gives me great pleasure to announce that on Sunday night, February 13tli, the Shubert-Murat Theater will see the beginning of an engagement of the most beautiful and unusual entertainment ever presented in Indianapolis. THIS will be an attraction that will amaze, delight and thrill theater-goers. It is not Grand Opera; it is not Drama; it is not Tragedy; it is not Comedy; it is not Pantomime, nor an exploitation of Choreographic Art; it is not Poetry nor is it Painting. AND yet, you will find that it is compact of all these arts—a new and an English art—combining the beauties of all the other arts, welded together into one perfect, harmonious whole, by the Master-Magician of the Age. Respectfully, NELSON G. TROWBRIDGE, Mgr. Shubert Murat Theater. THE NEWSPAPERS OF MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7TD, WILL PUBLISH COMPLETE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS UNIQUE EVENT.
