Pearl Allen in Oriental Dances at Shrlner Show

IsLc. • it- -- ■ • MR. PEARL ALLEN.

The Oriental dancing girls will be one of the leading features of the extravaganza. “Bagdad.” which the Shrlners "ill present at the Murat Theater Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights next week and chief among the "girls” will be tinfavorite of the caliph. Azez Zohr, who In every day life is Pearl Allen, of Lafayette, a member of the Murat Shrlners. Dancing also is to have another important bearing on the show the Shrlners are giving, for the committee in charge has announced that addition to the performance, dancing will begin in the bail room of the temple at S o’clock each evening. This arrangement is due to the fact that “Bagdad” is for members of the temple and their families only and 1 no tickets of admission will be Issued The doors will be Open n T :30 each evening ami there may lie gome who will not be abla to obtain seats. It Is for these that the dancing party has been arranged and they will then have an op portunity to see the performance the following evening. It is believed by th>officers that with the show running three evenings, none of the members will be disappointed. "Bagdad" is entirely different from the “Araby” spectacle given last year with such success, and much better, according to those who have seen the rehearsals. The plot deals with what follows when the caliph, Haroun-Al-Rascbid, pretends to leave the city with a caravan. The grand wezeer plans to run the city to. suit himself and places a ban on all indulgences. Including "wine, women and song." He also plans to wed the caliph’s favorite dancing girl. The result is depicted in fourteen colorful and lively scenes, introducing all the forced of Murat Temple, numbering more than 200. Potentate Edward J. Scoonover olid tho other officers of the temple sre in the cast, which also includes John Goll, A1

OLD HOMSTEAD WAS ‘ATROCITY* Furnishings of Past and Present Compared. The old homestead, with its red plush i chairs, its wax flowers, tidies and whati nots, regardless of what may be said j about it from a sentimentl standpoint, ! was an atrocity, judged by artistic | standards, according to Ross Crane, head of the extension department of the Chicago Art Institute. Mr. Crane will deliver a series of lectures on “Better Homes” at Tomlinson Hall May S, 4,-5 and fl under the auspices of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board. The lecturer recalls the time when people were not considered “society” unless their home contained at least one huge plate glass window, a meaningless array of plaster of paris statuary and other things whieh then were eonsidered ornamental and indicative of culture. "A thing is beautiful." declared Mr. crane, "if it fully fits its use, but there is no excuse for the old-fashioned chamber of horrors. Art is not the thing you find ou the wall with a frame around it. It is more than that. It is the joy, the brilliancy, the satisfaction and selfexpression which the worker has put Into that which he has produced. In home beautifying, art and simplicity ire closely allied. When we get into the habit of placing things on the piano, it is almost impossible to quit. Before the war, people spent millions of dollars on furniture and millions on chewing gum—yet we think furniture is expensive." Mr. Crane emphasizes four great principles in art and home beautification, color, line, form and texture and one other so closely allied that it outranks them all- utility, for first of all, he maintains, stands usefulness, in any arrangement of the home. The series of lectures to be given In Indianapolis will cover every angle of home d> eoration, both interior and exterior and much interest already has been manifested in t lie program.
