‘'Down East ’ to : Stay at Loew’s Another Week Tiny Movie Star Scheduled to Pay Visit to Circle. PROGRAMS LOOK GOOD Next week on the screen will mark the return of many well-known movie players to the local screen and will mark also the beginning of the second week of D. W. Griffith’s “Way Down Bast’’ at Loew’s State. TTTb Griffith movie has been on view at Loew’s State the past ,six days at popular prices. It is announced that this picture has shat-' tered all box office records at this house. The movies on view next week will bins follows: Griffith’s “Way Down East,’’ at Loew’s State. "Edgar's Sweetheart.’’ ami “The Child Thou Gavest Me,” at the Circle. "Greater Than Love,” with Louise Glaum, at the Ohio. “An Unwilling Hero,” with Will Rogers, at the Alhambra. “To a Finish,” with Puck Jones, at the Isis. “White and U'nmarried.” with Thomas Meighan. at Mister Smith's. “The Raiders,” with Franklyn Farnum, at the Regent. “Handcuffs or Kisses.” at the Colonial, with Elaine Hammerstein featured.

■ LOUISE GLAUM DUE AT OniO IN' NEW MOVIE. Louise Glaum, in ‘‘Greater Than 1.0vp.” will open a ■ week's engagement at the Ohio Sunday. The outstanding feature of “Greater Than Love” is its message. Like a bea-con-light shining into and exposing the recesses of sham, deceit and evil, the Faith of Mother in the play transcends all loves —the love of self, the love of dress and the love of love. For the “miracle" that regenerates in “Greater Than Love” is Faith, the Faith of a simple, wise old lady who has experienced and emerged from the travail of the desires of the flesh and whose creed is belief in the inherent and enduring goodness of all. In this uplifting symphony in which the spiritual note is convincingly triumphant* Louise Glaum appears as the unregenerate, the unbeliever whose heedlessness aryl Selfishness disappear before a great love which, in turn, gives way to the “Greater Than Love" element p. rsonified by frail Miss Gertrude Claire, the mother, and which is shown to be Faith. , Mahion Hamilton plays the leading male role in the C. Gardner Sullivan story and lends sympathetic support.to ■ Miss Glaum's performance, while Frank j Brownlee, who appears as- the allegorical Fate of the prolog. Donald Mar-Don-old, Betty Francisco, Stanhope Wheat- ! croft. Rose Cade, and many other promi- ( nent cinema players appear.

To The Theatregoers of Indianapolis I

IN the past five years I have sent letters and cable messages'to London in an endeavor to secure for the city of Indianapolis a visit frost Che most popular musical comedy artiste London has known in. many, many years. This great artiste has been the reigning musical comedy favorite of the British metropolis, in a gorgeous and glittering musical comedy extravaganza entitled, ’’AFCAR.” Hundreds of boys who went overseas saw this wonderful production and the brilliant and dazxilng artiste, who is the pet and idol of London. This star is ALICE DELYSIA. Last winter she visited New York with her complete London company. Including LI'PINO LANE, on* of the most celebrated of English comedians. DEI. YSI A In “AFGAR” was a sensation in New York and played there alt of last season. Immediately I saw my opportunity. I communicated with her managers, F. RAY COMSTOCK AND MORRIS GEST, who had brought her to America (by arrangement with Charles B. Cochran, her London manager) and from them I secured a promise that one of the first cities in which DELYSIA played outside of New York would be the city of Indianapolis and tile theater the BHI BERT-MI BAT. I am now proud and happy to announce that ALICE DELYSIA and her London company, including LUPINO LANE, will appear in tho musical extravaganza, “AFGAR,” at the SHLBERT-MURAT THEATER for one week only, beginning Monday, Oct. 3, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. ALICE DELYSI.fTs a marvelous combination of beauty and talent. She acts divinely and she lias an exquisite sense of humor. She Is Parisian by birth, but English by adoption. I believe she will be he biggest sensation of the coming theatrh-al season in Indianapolis. "AFGAR” is an English musical comedy, adapted from the French, with music by Charles Cuviller, composer of “The Lilac Domino.” It is a modern musical extravaganza with many attractive songs and dances. MESSRS. COMSTOCK AND GEST have surrounded their star with a chorus of beauty and brilliancy. The entire production has been costumed on a most elaborate scale by Paul Poiret of Paris. Mail orders for this extraordinary engagement will now be received. Price* for evening performances and the Saturday matinee will be sl.lO sl.6t>-$2.20-$2.75, while there will be a Wednesday matinee, w hen the prices will range from 83c-sl.lO-SI.GS-$2.20. These prices include war tax. I believe the visit of DELYSIA in “AFGAR" will be hailed by all discriminating theatergoers as the smartest society event of many years. Not to see DELYSIA in “AFGAR” me? ns to miss the greatest theatrical treat of the new season. (Signed) NELSON G. TROWBRIDGE, Manager Shubert-Murat Theater, Indianapolis, Indiana.
