“THE SKY PILOT” OX VIEW AT CIRCLE. “The Sky Pilot” today opened a •even day engagement at the Circle. The story is taken from Ralph Connor's book of the same name, and K nc Vidor, a* director of this production, has faithfully carried out the sentiment of this popular novel, taking care that the film verslo nos the story maintains the comely human vein as well as the dramatic Incidents that mark the picture as one of the most interesting and exciting of the year. The story deals with a young minister who is sent into the Canadian raneh belt to spread the gospel among the cowboys. His trials and tribulations, his faith and his hope are masterfully Interpreted by John Bowers, who plays the title role. Ilow the pilot, unpopular at first, wins a place for himself in tho hearts of the cowboys, who surprise him on Christmas morning by leading him blindfolded down a snow covered trail to ■how him the little frame church they have built, without bis knowledge, forms the human note of the story which contains several smashing dramatic scenes. The most intense scene in the story, and one of the most exciting ever before presented on the screen, is that of the cattle stampede, in which 4.00 panicstricken cattle are seen dashing madly on toward the form of the helpless little ranch girl. Gwen. Colleen Moore will he seen as the little mountain girl, David Butler as Bill Hendricks, ranch foreman, hard fighter, and Just a big boy to Gwen. -I- -|- -|- PRETTYINGENUE APPEARS IX "A PRIVATE SCANDAL.” Birthday parties, either on the psrt of individuals or business concerns can generally be looked forward to as gala occasions, snd the Real Art Picture Corporation decided to observe the second anniversary of Its entry Into the producing and distributing branches of the motion picture industry in fitting fashion by the release of a notable special production. “A Private Scandal.” To celebrate the natal event officials of the company have for months been carrying out elaborate plans centering in this particular pictnre. May McAvoy, a charming young ingenne, is starred, supported by a meritorious cast which Includes Bruce Gordon. Kathlyn Williams, Rolpb Lewis and Lloyd Whitlock.

subsidiary features will consist of the Fox News Weekly and the ever-interest-ing Topics of the Day.” -1- -i- -1HERE IS TOM AGAIN IN MORE THRILLS. Tom Mix, whose name is synonymous 1 with action in rnotu n pictures, furnishes a wealth of it in his latest thriller, "The Big Town Round-ip." which is coming to the Isis next week. The story was written by William McLeod Raine, an author whose specialty is tales cf the Western plains and mountains. Mix is cast as a young ranch owner with whom romance begins when he meets, through auto trouble, the pretty daughter of a wealthy father who is on tour seeking investments in the West. The romance is developed in San Francisco and quite naturally culminates in the union of the lovers. But meanwhile Mix experiences—thanks to sundry foes—enough excitement and adventure to satisfy the most rabid trouble hunter. He throws an insulting ruffian off the rear end of a running train ; shows how easy it is to master a stampeding steer by the simple expedient of grasping its horns and throwing it to the ground in true gladiator fashion; rescues two girls from imminent peril, and by a sensational slide down a wire cable escapes himself, from a gang of toughs. Taken all in all there is little prospect of dull moments in “The Big Town Round-Fp” Gilbert Holmes, Ora Carew, Harry Dun kinson and many others are in the cast assisting Mix. The fun end of the program will be excellently taken care of by Mack Sennett'g comedy brigade in “Made in the Kitchen” proclaimed as the merriest farce turned out of the Sennett studios in many a day. Tade Dolan's entertainers will provide melody and song.

In five years’ time Mr Stuart Walker has made Indianapolis the leading summer theatrical producing Center in the Foiled States. Indianapolis, through the efforts of Mr. Walker, is considered so seriously as a producing center In the summer time that both New York managers and loading players visit this city to get a line ou Important new plats Because of the world premiere of "Main Street," at the Murat this week, Leo Shtibert of New York was a visitor at the theater to witness a performance of the new play. Now York managers also considered seriously the Merwin-Wood play, “Artists' Life,'’ which was presented at the Murat week before last lor the first time ou any stage. With tho Walker season a little mure than half over, the fact remains that no city in this country has had a more Important or interesting season than Mr Walker lias given Indianapolis. 1 do not want to tie considered a trurapr' blower of proclaiming the achievements of ana individual, hut a cool and deliberate consideration of the facts results in only one conclusion —that Stuart Walker has focused the eves of the theatrical world upon Indianapolis. Not only because of trying out new productions, but because of the big names In the casta an ! the all around bounty and perfection of each production. Let us consider for a second the Walker touch in (he bedroom sc-ne In “Main Street." Mr Walker could not rely upon u former production of “Main ,<p upon which to build his scenes ns there is no former production of the play. He had to build ine production from “the ground up" and this is a big task. Mr Walker in producing (>• b>-<tmom scenes has been so from a standpoint of realism that 1 have heard several remark-that the whole scene w.i.-t "so life like" that ft was almost envec dropping or intruding upon the v.-ry privacy of the character* of the play.

Ills pictures have never j been '(Ueationatde from a moral stand j point; the roles he played may have i shown men who were outlaws, fugitives f from Justice, bad In many ways, but they huve worked out their own regeneration.

She wanted to help those boys, too. but she didn't seem to he able to reach them through tho Sunday School class which she taught, and for a time she was in despair. Then she heard one of the boys talk ing about this star's pictures. He had seen several of them, and bad written the star and asked for a photograph, j which he received Ho was delighted ; with It of course. The woman asked the boys why they didn’t form a club and take that star's nanio for It. making him honorary president. They were delighted with the idea. The star was interested when they wrote him about it: he sent them a set of simple little rules to live by, rules for clean living and thinking, got them interested in various games, offered prizes for the boy who did best Ir. ids school work, and he one who had the cleanest record.

TO MAKE LONG TOUR ] Fay Bainter has been on the stage since she was 5 years of age, but she will make her first long tour of the country next season when William Harris, ,Tr, sends “East Is West" over the route which extends to the Pacific Coast and return, and then criss-cross through the Middle West and East. Miss Bainter learned her art In the stock companies of four or five cities. Since her advpnt in New York she has appeared ln only the larger Eastern cities and Chicago. Before the production of "East is West” none of the plays she adorned warranted a long tour and the latter was so tremendously successful it remained two consecutive years in New Y'ork and then divided a third between Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. Miss Bainter is looking forward with particular pleasure to her forthcoming trip, for she believes that the real Fnited States Is widely distributed over North America and is not confined to a street ln Manhattan a few blocks east of the Hudson River,

Stuart Walker Players in Gala Repertory Week Prepare ‘Monna Vann a’ and ‘Two Kisses’ for Split Bill at Murat—Mid-Summer Festival at Lyric. ‘PASSING SHOW’ BOOKED AS OPENER For the first time in th3 history of repertory at the Murat Stuart Walker will observe a “split-week” policy, by presenting “Monna Vanna” for the first half of next week, and the comedy, “Two Kisses,” for the last half. The bill for the first half will give Blanche Yurka, McKay Morris and George Somnes their biggest, dramatic opportunities of the season.

Nelson Trowbridge today officially announced that "The Passing Show of 1921” has been booked for the regular Murat season, which opens at the close of the Walker season. The date of the Passing Show has net been announced. The Lyric next week will observe its mid summer festiral week with a big bill. ... .|. -iWALKER TO PRESENT TWO PLAYS NEXT MEEK. Beginning next Monday night the Stuart Walker Company will present its first “split week.” The week is to U known as Gala Repertory week and will include Maurice Maeterlinck’s 'Monna Vanna," one of the. greatest melodramas ever written, and “Two Kisses,” Harry .Tames Smith's comedy of love and laughter. "Monna Vanna” will be given Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and at the Wednesday matinee, while “Two Kisses” will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with matinees on Thursday and Saturday. Totally different in every respect the productions of “Monna Vanna" and “Two Kisses” will illustrate most eloquently the versatility of the Stuart K'alker Company. One of the great classics cf all time, “Monna Vanna.” takes place In Pisa at the end of the fifteenth century The city is being besieged by the Eioren* tines. Numerous entreaties to Prinzlv: iie. the general of the enemy's camp, have been n vain until he sees Monna Y’a-nna. the beautiful wife of Guido, the commander of the Pisan garrison. Prinzivalie offers to allow provisions to enter the starving city provided Monna visit him alone in his tent outside the city gates. What occurs between the two is one of the most moving scenes in ail dramatic literature. Blanche Yurka will be seen In the role of Monna Vanna, a part for which she has been preparing to play for the past tkr.e years. As Prir.zivalle, McKay Morris will appear. George Somnes will portray the role of Guido, the Jealous husband. Others In the cast will include Aldrich Bowker, Walter Vonl m-gut. Oscar Davisson, James P. Webber, | and Edwin Noel. "Two Ki°sos,” 1s admirable fare to follow “Monna Vanna." It is a light, airy bit of fluff concerning the fortunes of Imogen Thr*.gmoro. a teacher or elocution. One day one of tier erstwhile pupils. Luella Malthy, turns up and engages rooms In the Throgmore home, Imogen is dumfounded to discover that Luella’s beau is noire other than Alfred Tweed, the man whom she has loved ever since they first met over an ice < ream soda. To win her Alfred away from this beau snatcher. Imogen secures the services of another young man, Rupert llawsins. Nhe proposes that he make love to the susceptible Luella in order that she may expose her before Alfred. The artful Imogen, in her desire to extricate her>etf from such a dilemma, has each of her suitor? kiss her, and from the effect of the kiss upon aer Imogen makes her decision. Blanche Y'urka and Mt Kay Morris will play the principal rule? in “Two Kisses," parts wholly unlike those in which th-y appear l.t "Monna Vanna." The cast also includes Elizabeth Patterson, Aldrich Bmvkrr, Helen Burch. Judith Lowry Tom Powers and Julia McMahon. The productions of "Monna Vanna" and “Two Kisses" have been made under the personal direction of Mr. Walker, •o-ifft sperisl sottines by Oakley Richey. There will be matinees on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturady,

After long runs in New York and Chicago, “The Passing Show of 1921" will make it? first stop following its Chicago engagement a; the Shubert - Murat theater for an engagement of one week in the near future. This entertainment, the cast of which is headed by the Internationally famous comedians, Eugene • i Willie Howard, is considered by the critics one of the best of the Messrs. ■Si chert's annual productions. For years n w the Shuberts have been producing Passing Shows. This year’s production follows the pattern of other? years. As far as statistics go, there are two acts, twenty-six scenes and twenty-two musical numbers. The girls %cm innumerable. Tassing Shows are noted for the girls and the Messrs. Shubert have not been economical this year—there arc dozens of New York's and Chicago's danciest girls, all of them more or less clad in not el and. rich costumes. The Howard Brothers are, of course, the hit of the show. Eugene Howard, always sleek and affable, acts as ths "feeder" for the grotesque and amusing Willie. Their songs and singing, as always, bring plenty of applause from the audiences. Throughout the entertainment Willie Howard provides his interesing and really remarkable characterizations and Imitations One of his best is that of Frank Bacon, (he star of “Lightln” which is still playing in New Y'ork. Travesties on popular plays provide a good deal of amusement for the Passing Show patrons. "Little Old New Y'ork,” "The Ffitarni School,” “The Bat.” '‘Spanish Ive,” “Mecca” and "The Bad Manure ? me of the 1020 21 plays most successfully burlesqued. Buride the Howard Brothers, the Messrs shrbert have provided May Bolcy, that robust and clever comedienne, has opportunities to display her ability aiong humwoiis lines, as has Will Philhrick, long a favorite of the Passing Show devotees. Emily Miles sing? many of the song hits, and Ina Hayward’s statuesque beauty is utilized for soubrette roles. Dancing, of course, is very essential to Passing Shows. Tot Qualters. the Meltte Sisters. Sammy White and O'Hanlon and Zambouni are a few of the nimble steppers. And the girls, are continually "stepping" to the jazz tunes of Jean Schwarz, Lew Pollack, and A1 Goodman. One of the creates! delights, along dancing lines, is the Cleveland Bronner ballet which opens the second act.
