WHAT would life be without a "bluebeard” trial? THE MOST CERTAIN thing about this election is that one of our contemporaries is a poor prophet. IF you didn’t vote for the winner you have the consolation of knowing there are a lot more in the same boat. * -• ———————————— IT SOMETIMES takes a long time to discover a hero, but when he 13 once discovered no one hesitates to give him credit. THERE IS no rest for the weary. After election we shall have to worry about who is going to be the next Senator from Indiana. THE TROUBLE is that a discussion of betting makes necessary the admission that there is betting in a city where nothing of that kind is supposed to exist. r~ - - ’ THE MAN who wasn’t a vice president during the campaign has sort of a lost feeling. He might just as well cheer up, though, he probably was a vice president and didn't know it. Why Not a Decent Campaign? The election today will determine who is to he mayor of Indianapolis, but unfortunately It cannot end an even more important difference in the community. Asa result of popular campaign methods there has been raised an Issue which deserves, and will continue to deserve, more attention from the people of this city than the personality of candidates. This Issue is whether Indianapolis is to continue unable to Induce its most suitable citizens to stand for election to political offices. It might as well be admitted here that for several years past it has become increasingly difficult to obtain the consent of men best fitted for public office to use their names in the primaries. Citizens who are in a. position to give of their time and ability to the service of the community are prevented from so doing by the ruthlessness with which candidates are assailed by persons intent, for personal reasons, on capturing control of the local government. The result is that our office seekers are generally men induced by selfish interests to disregard the abuse and unpleasantness of a mudslinging campaign. If we were to have less of this obnoxious personal villification there would be more inducement for men to run for office with a view to ser\ ing the community, rather than to stand for election with some other and more selfish motive. If candidates for office were assured of judgment on the issues presented in the campaign, there would be less reluctance on the part of desired men to seek public office. Today, there is no business man in Indianapolis who does not shrink , from political activity with the feeling that to enter therein is to subject j himself, his family and his business to a period of intense abuse, without ireason, limit or justification. k. A few good men have braved this storm of ridicule and vituperation and much in the cause of good government. Not one of them will say that there has been any reward equivalent to the sacrifice. Indianapolis wants good government. Indianapolis can have good government whenever its citizens succeed in suppressing the unfair, unjustifiable and unnecessary defamation of men whose only fault is refusal to agree on every public question with those few who feel that they alone have the right to entertain opinions. Isn’t it about time the people of this city insisted on the conduct of political campaigns by gentlemen with more love of Indianapolis and fairer instincts than to make an election fight the orgy of mudslinging that has just passed?
The Sun Parlor Perhaps the greatest luxury placed on anew, modern house is the sun porch. Its construction is simple, but the joy of it is beyond the dreams of generations passed. A few vears ago people did not place a high value on sunshine, nor prize fresh air as much as now. Very few mansions possessed a place where daylight was welcomed or air so coveted as may be experienced inside the smallest sun porch. The luxury of sitting or resting in a sun parlor, among palms and ferns, when outside the wind is cold and nature has put everything into its winter cover, is incomparable. Indeed, just to absorb the light of outdoors, which is furnished so abundantly, and at the same time to be comfortable inside a warm and pleasant structure is luxury. Then, in summer, to have a cool place where the sun is beating down, beguiles any one. Architects may not admit it, but the building of the Bun parlor is the most practical way to make a house owner happy. It need not be large or expensive. It is always serviceable and always admired. Glass will keep out over half of the cold. Anew glass has been invented which admits light but eliminates all heat rays. If this is applied to the sun porch the necessity of double windows in rigorous climates is eliminated and the last objection Is removed. When the conveniences of home are noted, today, it seems thet but a few years ago people did not know how to liv.e. A century before life must have been a bitter struggle, even for the wealthy, while three or four hundred years back our ancestors were almost savages. At that time, however, the greatest poets and painters thrived and bold men ventured over the world in exploration. It is just a trifle sad to think of the beautiful characters, such as recollection pictures mothers and grandmothers, missing the pleasures of things modern. What would a quaint parent, before the Revolutionary war, have said of automobiles, telephones, sanitary bathrooms, steam heat, electric lights and sun parlors? They were happy, however, in those days, too. The Costs of Carelessness To witness the effects of a Are alarm down town is to become convinced of the desirability of heeding all the admonitions of the fire prevention campaign, in spirit and in letter. The call takes but a moment to fill the street with all kinds of apparatus, some old and some new and shiny. t In spite of efforts, however, fires destroy far too much property in the United States. Waste by that element is one of the nation’s most expensive luxuries. Even the means to combat fires, as maintained by municipalities cost a goodly sum annually. In Indianapolis the building code is so framed that in future years there will be a saving. Wooden shingle roofs are outlawed and what used to be good electrical wiring is discarded for safer methods, while chimneys must be made safe. All these efforts will eventually bring fruit in saving fire calls. The person who watches the response of the fire department to a call ■anally has his mind on the fire and the probable destruction which will occur. He does not think of the cost to fight the fire. The equipment, the water facilities and the salary of the firemen run up the liability of each call to a figure not realized by the average man. The destruction of anything caused by carelessness certainly is sinful. There is no excuse for permitting oily rags to go to spontaneous combustion, nor for throwing about lighted cigarette stubs. %ome mechanical defects will occur, such as the short circuiting of wires, or the removal of insulation. Even old chimneys may fail to be safe. The many mechanical causes of destructive fires may possibly be excused, when human agencies have done everything possible to prevent risks, but it is hard to overlook carelessness which the mind can avoid. It Is interesting to see the Are fighters run, but each call la costly.
ALICE TALKS OF SPAGHETTI AND SAMMY’S WHISKERS Belle Baker Tops a Grand Show at Keith’s—Rose Revue at Lyric
Would I not go back stage and see Miss Brady just for a second? The question was put to me last night at the Murat by H. D. Bogart, manager of the "Forever After” company. We both realized that an awful “mess ’ had been made Sunday In arranging an Interview that I had requested. I couldn’t be found and neither could Miss Brady. 1 had a splendid excuse— I was looking over the movies. Miss Brady had even a better excuse—she was "put out” of a local hotel.

The minute she admitted that her “smokes” were “rotten” I felt at home because I enjoy rotten smokes. Am used to It, you know. It takes a modern woman to admit that {he “smokes” are bad.

Sammy came in for some attention. “Why should a mere newspaper man take the time of his charming mistress in talking shop?” Sammy seemed to wink to me. : "The place I am staying now is the j

cutest place,” she said. ‘Really, It Is. We have a little kitchen and at soon as I get back I am going to cook some spaghetti. I had vegetables for supper. My maid cooked them for me.” Sammy advanced to a large mirror which was propped against a wall and looked at himself. Being convinced that his wire like whiskers were in proper form he stretched himself before the mirror. “When you twist his whiskers like that,” she said in demonstrating It an Sammy, “he looks like Lloyd George. 1 got him In London and he cost some real money. I have a police dog at home. I don’t know what your hotels here would do If I brought him to town. He is as big as a calf.” W’e talked of her failure to get anew play of the right sort, of her great love for the movies (she is going back soon to the screen), and of the necessity of taking “Forever After” out on the road for a while. “I have my balcony and my gallery, hut I need the orchestra,” she said. "I must find a play with a character part. Those in the gallery and the balcony, and I love them nil, come to see Alice Brady. They want to see if 1 appear on the stage as 1 do on the screen, and If my hair is done up as I wear it on the screen. I tried out ‘Drifting.’ but it must be done over. The background is all wrong. You know T had a terrible failure in ‘Anna Ascends.’ ” (Don’t you really love her for admitting the bad things iln life? I do.) But she has had big successes ’ on the stage and the screen. “Fo er After” ran for nearly a year in New York, then a year on the road, tlivU it was shelved and now It is on tour. It has made her much money. She spoke earnestly of her work on the stage and the screen, her desire to do a real character part and her honest desire to please. I know the next mail will bring me letters asking if slie is really beautiful. SO I am going to answer right here. Alice Brady is one of the most beautiful women I have met. She is prettier than Billie Burke, and that is some admission. My cigarette burned low and out. Sammy got up from in front of the mirror and looked at ino in disgust. I thought of the spaghetti and wished her a fond “good night.” Sammy smiled, as it were.
HOLMES TALKS

TAYLOR HOLMES. It Is 'nterestiug to hear Taylor Holmes recite in- Meats that happened when, as a ynuthf .1 iif nr, he whs associated with Richard Mansfield. i forget our first meeting." said Mr, Holmes, who Is the star of “Smooth as Silk. - ' opening at English's Thur day night. ‘T had been doing some Imitations of Mr. Mnustleld at an afternoon reception given by Mrs. Manwtield i when the great actor walked up to me with outstretched hand. “ *Er Mr. Holmes, if 1 am not mis taken," said Mansfield with his famous drawl “ ‘Yes/ I replied, ‘I am Mr. Holmes and this is er— Mr. Mansfield, if I am not mistaken.’ “lie laughed and then spoko about my imitations of him. After the people had : gone he remarked that the imitatlonf | were quite real, but he suggested some Improvements. “ ‘Try to be embarrassed as I woiilf •••>t ’"by lie in making a curtain speech,' he said. “ ‘Or —er —ns you are now,’ I answered He grabbed me by the hand and said: ‘Boy. my boy I want you with me al ways—all my life.’ “You see he really liked to be met od bis own ground where so many feared ito tread While Mansfield was playing ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’ he took exception to evident lack of spirit displayed by one of the women during a rehearsal. “ ‘You must act, act, act at these rehearsals,’ cried the actor. “ ‘Oh, lint Mr. Mansfield.' returned the woman, ‘I never can act at rehearsal. I must have an audience. “ ‘Yes, yes.’ replied Mansfield, ‘but you ! have an audience, I am here.’ “‘Very true.’ said (lie woman, ‘but I must have a large number of people.’ i “This made Mansfield angry and in a fiery ton*, he cried: ‘Well, then, speak : lomuler, louder, louder, understand me, always talk at the top of your voice—- ! the way Hall Caine writes.’ ”
The Interview was over. Personally, the play, “Forever After,” Is a light, a very light vehicle and It wouldn't deserve a minute’s passing notice unless Miss Brady was In it. Only In the third act does the author give her a chance to show what a really great emotional actress she is. It is worth waiting two acts to see Miss Brady come i Into her emotional own in the third act. | Its a love story with a war theme worked In by the aid of “flashbacks.” It’s one of those sweet candied things 1 which causes women to cry when Miss Brady sobs and causes them to love when she loves. Miss Brady deserves a better vehicle but the public for two years has flocked to see her in this play. She 's making money when other attractions are being carted to tlie theatrical undertakers. Miss Brady towers mountain high ovei this play as a play. The work of Kenneth Mac Kenna, as the poor lover and as the wounded soldier, is of the highest order. He is just a lad. I am told, but he has that great gift—natural and unaffected acting. The remainder of the cast is so so. The scenery shows its ' age. “Forever After.” is on view today and tomorrow at the Murat.—W. D. H. -I- -'- -IBELLE RAKERS RETURN Is A GAY EVENT AT KEITH’S. “Put it on, take it off, wrap it up, take it home.” She's back, just as full of “pep” as ever with her time-worn but ever new lovin' chatter to the first violinist. her Inimitable Yiddish bubbllngs. She’s been away a while, but now she’s baek. Belle Baker Is with us once more, over at Keith's with a flock of new songs, . but the same old gestures and new fresh- ! n<*ss that wins her the billing of “the Incomparable.” She gives the audience a little tuneful talk about her not so very old baby, under the title of "Welcome Stranger.’’ As usual she finds it hard to tear herself away from her enthusiastic “rooters" and gives some of the old favorites as encores. But Belle isn’t the only one ahat arouses the enthuslsm of the audience, each act Is received with well deserved enthusiasm, for It's a ripping bill, not a slow moment, yet not n touch of the “risque" a regular “hum-dinger” of a show from start to finish. The Murray girls. Kathleen and Evangeline, open the bill with a dainty song and dance act. featuring old time costumes combined with the old t!m~ ways. They are both pretty, young and graceful, with good voices which harmonize nicely in their Southern songs. If any one has any doubts about anything but tights and the "shimmy” making V hit. trip around and see the Murray Maids. And then for those who love to hobnob with royalty, there the Princess Jue Quoo Tni (sounds like a chop suey restaurant), the Chinese contralto, who resembles an animated eharacted doll or a figure off a fan with her richly embroidered robes and sleek hnir. But she can sing Her voice Is rich aud beautifully trained. She gives a clever program of songs Rtid as a finale introduce* h<-r cunning little sister, whom she says Is making her debut here in Indianapolis, having just come over from the Orient. Little sister as Oriental as a whiff of Incense, surprises her hearers by singing an American popular song, displaying a silvery, true, exceedingly high ‘soprano
voice ami dancing just like an "American." Berrite Dolen, at the piano, came in for a share of the vociferous applause, calling for a half dozen encores. And you nil know Walter Kelly, an other pause for a welcome greeting, and then he Is off on Ids Inimitable lmlta tlons, finishing off with "The Virginia Judge" that kept his b-ari-rs In a state of hysterical laughter from start to finish. 1 hose whose mind runs along practical lines are also served “rice pulding” In large portions by Maud Miller and Ed Stanley In a dialog ~fa unique nature Maud looking dumber and talking more "dumber" than seemed human. Emerson and Baldwin work their audience up to a Stage of hilarious laughter by showing them how they aren't Jugglers at all and then finish up by giving a rapid fire exhibition of skill. The Wilson gymnasts nnd wrestlers, with some clever slapstick comedy and real live wire "stunts," conclude the bill The Pathe News and Digest Topics nnd film cartoons of Aesop's fables round out the super excellent vaudeville bill -I- -I- -INKW VARIETY HILL ON VIEYV IT EY KIT. 1 lo* ltos* Revue" heads the bill on view at tin* Lyric this week. James Anderson and King are sponsors for this act. which Is called “An Original Pot , pourrl of Song and Dance.” We fulled to find that It lived up to Its title of being original, although the dancing Is fairly good. Most of the songs have been heard before. Powers, Marsh nnd Delmar offer a ‘'nautical" song skit, called "The Crew.” This is a male trio with good voices, pleasing songs and plenty of comedy! They are easily the hit of the show and the audience when the show was reviewed, reluctantly allowed them to withdraw from the stage. Princess Ming Foot Toy lives up to her billing as being a “versatile Chinese artist.” Siie speaks English excellently, sings well nnd cleverly handles a scene from "East Is West.” Hayes nnd Lloyd present an act In two! scenes called "Before and After.” Hayes Is a tall, slender fellow and Llovd Is a j short, plump woman. They easily keep the audience laughing during the entire act. The Y’lrglnin Trio is a male pianist and I two women with pleasing voices. The act is offered under the bead of “Melodies j of 11121.” Billy Broad In “The Laugh Barrage.” is a black-face comedian who talks of prohibition, politics and the high cost of living. He uses a song called “Constantly" to good advantage. Marr and Evans open the show. Tayoma nnd company, Oriental equilibrists, close tlie show with a neat balancing act. On view at the Lyric all week. -I- -|- -|- BEATTY PRESENTS ANOTHER SHOW AT PARK. Another of Mr. E.
