PAULINE GREDF.RICK HAS DRAMATIC ROLE IN “SALVACt.” “Salvage." Pauline Frederick's latest Robertson-Cole super-special production, to be screened at Loew’s State next week, beginning Sunday, is a story of mother love, that love which "passeth all understanding,-- and does not count too great any sacrifice or suffering. Miss Frederick plays the part of Ber nice Ridgeway, a young woman of fine 1 family and breeding, who has always re- : garded marriage as a tender, beautiful j Ideal. Disillusionment follows closely upon the heels of her marriage to Cyrus Ridgeway, a power in the fiuanoial world Despite her efforts to maintain her dream, there is borne upon her the fact that her busband's one creed is to get gold, and that his purpose in marrying her was to perpetuate the family name of Ridgeway Fate mocks Cyrus however, wh*-n his heir is boro hopelessly deformed. With no regard for the suffering of liis wife, he orders the child taken away, and when Bernice recovers from her illness, she Is told that her baby died. Through a gos- j • iplng servant Bernice learns of her bus ! band's cruelty, a cruelty which prompted ,him to ask the doctor if it were not better to let the child die. rather than have a deformed baby bear the Rblgeway name. In a spirit of hatred and revolt against the man whose name she bears. Bernice strips from her the costly clothing. the Jewels and leaves forever the house of Ridgeway. In the squalor of the New York slums, where no questions are asked, she seek? to hide her sorrow and take up life anew Chance plays into her hand*, when Kate Martin, a neighbor, the mother of a 3 year-old little girl, who bears a striking i resemblance to Bernice, commits suicide In her room.

Whitcomb be cause It gave Miss Frederick the greatest characterization this charming star has ever had. -1- -!* -!- ENGLAND'S EAT ACTRESS APPEARS IN “THE MYBTERT ROAD." Recognized In England as the Fatty Arbuckie of the British screen, Irene Tripod, a famous Loudon actress, has an important character role In "The Road." an English made Paramount picture screened in Europe, featuring David Powell, which will be shown at the Ohio next week. Miss Tripod won fame on the London stage because of her Jollity apd embonpoint. Tipping the scales at a weight the ponderousa-ss of which is kept a close secret, she is easily the heaviest professional in England, and hence her comparison with Fatty Arbuckie. She usually plays the parts of fat tavern mistresses, and her specialty Is the big woman of the Frem-h type. In “The Mystery Road - ’ she has the role of a widowed tavern keeper and in her bands it Is said to be one of the finest bits of character acting displayed in the picture. The story, written especially for Paramount by E. Phillips Oppenheim, the famous British novelist, is romantic, dramatic and appealing. The hero is a young Engliahman the mystery road of life heedlessly without giving a thought to whither it leads The love element is strong and gripping. The supporting company including among others Nadja Ostrovska. P. Woodman. Mary Giynne. Ruby Miller and Percy Standing, is one of the strongest seen in any Brit.sh-made Paramount" picture.

The show ing had been arranged by his manager. Francois De' amps. with the Idea of furnishing distraction for the fighter in his training schedule “It is magnificent I” Georges exclaimed a* the conclusion of the picture. "It is th* last cry In th* cin“tmi. I do not doubt but that when it is presented in France It will touch ''very deeply the h-arts of the people, as it touched my heart tonight.

In The Land oj' Make Believe By WALTER D. HICKMAN

\ What will the new season bring forth? ! That is a question which naturally ! rises from the smoke of discussion concerning theatrical conditions Broadway conditions naturally are felt on the “road.” Last season there were probably less touring companies on the road than lias been for many agars This was due, according to the producers, to the high railroad rates, certain wage disputes. the unionizing of the actors, the continuance of the war tax on the theater tickets. These fact* are apparent: That George M. Cohan has announced that he Is through with the stage and has withdrawn every one of his companies with the exception of "The O'Brien ! Girl,” which Is now In Boston It is i admitted that it is doubtful if this show goes into New York under the Cohan i banner. That the burlesque interests have de clareil for an “open shop policy." i That the Shuberts are still causing some discussion with announcements conI cerning their vaudeville circuit Taat some of the leading movie producers ere warning against overproduction. That an effort Is 1 eing made to combat the high cost of film production. That the one-night theater managers are fai ing the prospects of dark houses ; unless the situation on the road clears up. I admit that the withdrawal of Cohan from the theatrical producing field, as well ns the acting part of the game, Is a distinct loss When Cohans name was on a show, we who do not live on Broad- ’ nay. naturally expected that the producj tlon and company would be satlsfac- | tory. Mr Cohan definitely informed us i what and who he was sending to Indian spoils. His “Mary" company, which api peared at Engl.sh’t last season, was a strictly fVhan affair. Many of us saw , “Mary" on the road many months before Broadway had a chance to see her. The same Is true with "The O'Brien Girl." which Is considered to be a theatrical mint. In face of the prospects of making another fortune. Cohan threatens to with draw this show at the enl of the Boston run Fersonally, I feel that this theatrical 'unrest and uncertainty will be cleared tip before fail. I am not alarmed at the withdrawal of Mr. Cohan from the. ‘American stage lam sure that the average American theater goer will miss the ; Cohan brand of entertainment The American theater will go on and on* although certain names will be mlsing A* far as we are concerned In Indian apotls It 1* my opinion that the heavy transportation rare 1s the element which will affect this city the most this fall and winter. The effect of the enormous transportation costs has alrcadv been felt Some of the largest musical comedy com panles in the past season have failed to com# into Indianapolis because of the fear of possible poor business and th" high transportation rate. Cleveland and Cincinnati. Ohio, last season saw many production* which passed up Indianapolis The theatrical powers that he can not overlook the i "rotten” bustpess don* by the beautiful "Monsieur Benucairo - ' at English's last season. If Indianapolis and th* other one week stands are to have the big productions, the r’-,-goers must support worth while : productions. The only way we esn get the best Is to support tint best. The best recommendation that a city can have Is this—lndianapolis will sup port only the best attractions Send ns ; th# rest and we will support the theater.

It was produeed about 1803 and ran for three months, being used as either a curtainraiser or afterpiece for the weekly productions. The success of th* little play interested New York managers and Charles Frohman secured it for New York. It was extended into a three-act play by David Belasco. Then came William A. Brady with "The Cat aud the Cherub” i and there was a great race to see which would get the first showing before audl ! cnees in New York and London. It did | not matter "fter all, for both failed to i attract patronage . | Mr Harris seme years Inter was responsible f.>r the production of “The Yellow Jacket," ano'her play with Chinese characters, written In the Chinese manner, and this achieved an artistic success, and aome years later yet. a financial one. The first play of this sort, however, to find a genuine public In New York wrs "East Is West,” for the finanj dal success of the "Yellow Jacket" followed the production of that play.

JOE ‘JAZZ’ WILLIAMS DUE AT LYRIC The theatrical world will have Its eye on the Murat Theater next Monday night when the world premiere of ‘‘Main Street,” will be given by the Stuart Walker Players. Monday night probably will be the most Important first night In the history of the Walker organization because of the universal interest In “Main Street” as a book.

The eyes of the theatrical world will be upon Indianapolis next week when Stuart Walker presents the greatest premiere of his five seasons in Indianapolis, Sinclair Lewis’ “Main Street.” It is safe to say that no novel since “BenIlur" has so stirred the entire United States as Mr. Lewis’ epic of small town life. And the novel’s zenith as a bestseller is not yet in sight. During the first four months of its appearance upon the market over a hundred thousand copier of the book were sold. The dramatization of "Main Street” has been accomplished by Harvey O'Higgins and Harriet Ford, two able playwrights with a long list of successes to their credit Including “Mr. Lazarus,” “On the Hiring Line,” and "The Dummy.” Mr. O'Higgins and Miss Ford are in Indianapolis attending the rehearsals of their latest work. For those few people left in this country who have not yet delved into the gripping realism of "Main Street” a few words concerning its theme may not be amiss. Main Street stands for the American town and all that it typifies. Living in a small town is a very different thing from looking back on it—the small town of our youth didn't bother us with Its incen?ant gossip; we weren't worth gossiping about at that age. But for adults—Sinclair L*wls tells Just what Main Street did to Carol Kennlcott. an eager girl who went from f happily Inconspicuous life In the city tc live the fish bowl existence of a pbysi clan’sjgife in Gopher Pratrie, Minn., r small town where her every movement was commented upon, every lightly spoken word remembered, every timid suggestion for the improving of Main Street ridi ruled. Only In the end does she learn the great secret of life In being content witla real world In which it is never pos slble to create an ideal setting. The prob leros of ten million people in the thou sand real towns are here expressed—thr people who are fighting to transform the Main Street of America Peggy Wood, who so delighted her au dtrfcies in her own play "Artists’ Life,’ has been retained at special request o' the authors for the new production. She will appear In the role of Carol Kenni cott.

Well, you can Imagine how excited everybody was on board the Ark when the Weathercock shouted "Periscope!” "Where away?” asked Captain Noah. “Dead ahead!” screamed the Weathercock. Instantly all eyes were turned in that direction. Some distance ahead stretched a long, smooth sandy beach, on which was a huge billboard with the words "Perry's Slope.” “Bah,” exclaimed Captain Noah, j "Perry's Slope isn't ‘Periscope.’ Well, I'm glad It Isn't.” “Are we going ashore?” asked Mr. . Jonah. "Looks like It," answered Captain Noah, "The Ark is pointed for the beach. Hope ove don't bump too hard. Some of the animals might get hurt.” The Ark was going at a fast clip, and as they neared the shore everyone braced himself aud clung tightly to the railing. “Hold fast!” shouted the Weathercock as the bow touched the beach. In an- ; other minute the Ark skimmed gracefully | over the sand with as much ease as lt_ ] had sailed upon the ocean. "Wonderful boat you have!" exclaimed Mr. Jonah, looking at Captain Noah, j “Ought to be proud of her; she's a dandy." Before the latter bad time to make reply the Ark stopped, and every one rushed toward the gangplank. “Let It down easily,” commanded Captain Noah; ! "easy there." j ”VCfTy, the Ark's on wheels." cried Pn6s Junior, as he stepped on the sandy beach: "regular automobile wheels.” i “Well. I declare," exclaimed Mrs. Noah) ! so it is.” “Let s call it the ‘Arkmobile.’ ” suggested Ham. “Just the thing." said Shem; “don’t you think bo, father?” Captain Noah did not reply for a moment. as he was busily engaged inspecting the bottom of the Ark. “There's a regular auto engine in the hold, way aft,” be said. "And it'# connected with a shaft so that it will turn the x\ heels. We'll have no difficulty in traveling on land.” "Hurray for the Arkmobiie!” shouted Ham. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that—that Is, if a German airship doesn't drop a frankfurter on the Ark and explode all to smithereens. Copyright. 1921. To Bo Continued.
