C THE CHAMPION* IS ‘CHAMP* COMEDY To Visit English's This Season

Grant Mitchell ana “The Champion" Rake the championship lightweight honors of the stage. This is not extravagant praise, but a very conservative estimate of the entertaining value of Mr. Mitchell, his company and his latest vehicle. Mitchell and the play registered a “knockout” yesterday at English's. The victory was decisive, the “knockout'' coming In the second act. The third act would have registered the “knockout” if anything had happened in the second. I am going to be very frank today. ' The Champion," as being presented at English's today and Saturday, after pleasing two Thanksgiving day audiences yesterday, is a play and a company which axe pretty close to perfection. Plays of such entertaining value—clean, funny, logical and splendidly acted —deserve patronage. It was my Impression yesterday that it is about .time some people stop | “howling" that we are not getting good | plays. Let them stop their yelling and 1 go to English's today and tomorrow I and support one of the best comedies of

the year. Yesterday. Indianapolis did not support “The Champion” with that degree of attendance which the play and the company deserves. Here is a play that was seen on Broadway for many months. It was a success there. It is clean, but highly entertaining. A play of this nature should play at absolute capacity for four performances at English's if the howlers for better stage entertainment mean what they say regarding the desire for better plays. It Is about time that this “howling.” I call it insincere howling, cease and those who claim they want the best to stop writing and support the things they claim they want. Tonight tomorrow will demonstrate If they are sincere in their desire for better stage entertainment. I could go into detail concerning “The Champion" but I will state that it has a “punch” in every act: the situations are brilliant; the conversational encounters are *£ne examples of clever writing and above all, “The Champion” is proof that unsuggestive and clean entertainment is the best. The play concerns William Burroughs, who, when a lad, ran away from his very strict English home, bummed his way to the United States, became the champion lightweight champion of the world and then, retiring, became a successful corporation lawyer in New York City. When the play opens Burroughs Is just i returning home after fifteen years' absence. What a fine set of prudes this Bur- ! roughs family is. No wonder the Willi* ran away from home. His two elder brothers are perfect “nothings." They j obey every command of their stern father. I But how sweet and wholesome is Willie's ! mother and his little sister. Burroughs, Sr., nearly passes out of existence when he learns that his : “prodigal" son has been a prize fighter In the States. He feels that the family honor baj been thrown in the ash can. i For two acts, the father and the two } brothers have a terrific time in an un- j successful attempt to get Willie out of i the house. As soon as England learns that “Gunboat Smith.” the lightweight campion of the world, is at the Burroughs home, th* real blue bloods of society nearly break their riecks to pay him respect. Horrors, what a surprise it is to old man Evirroughs and the two weak sped-! mens cf brothers. But the champion : ► wins in his own home and he becomes the lion of the hour. This little story is acted by Grant Mitchell and one of the best all-round casts that every stepped a foot on any ; stage I will sum up Mr. Mitchell's act- j

Grant Mtlchell, who is the star of “The Champion,•’ now at English’s. ing in these words—perfect comedy work, nothing better before the public today. I could “rave" for some time over the work of Adria Hill as the champion's mother: Arthur Elliott as the father; Westerton and Gerald Hamer as the two brothers, and Phyllis Tillman as the sister. Spiv.did work—splendid. Os equal imr -rtance with the work of the star is ‘ *at Clara Verdora as Lady Elizabeth Gallon. who becomes the sweetj heart of the champion. Here is “class" | acting—a triumph in this class of char- ; acterization. 1 have seen nothing better. The entire cast gives one that pomj pletely satisfying thought—perfect cumi edy acting. i If you claim to support and desire the i best on the stage, then it is your duty to support actors of the type of Mr. Mitchell and plays of the character of • “The Champion." The engagement closes at English's ; Saturday night.—W. D H. -j- -!- ELKS TO GIVE PUBLIC ! PARTY AT ENGLISH'S, i On Monday night, the Elks will give a big party for the opening performance of “The Eight Girl" at English's to which the public is invited. “The Eight Girl” is a musical comedy which boasts or its dancing and singing chorus as well as principals. The songs include: "Girls All Around Me," "Things I Learned in Jersey,” "Rocking Chair Fleet," and “Love’s Little Journey." The cast includes Wade Booth, Edna Bates, Gus Vaughn, Dorothy Tierney, William Sellery, Florence Page, Harry Redding, Pamella Bradford, Gladys Dore, and others. -!- -|- -IWHAT "LADIES' NIGHT” IS ALL ABOUT. Jimmy Walters was afraid of women; he just couldn't trust himself to look at them when th;y were in evening dress.

although he was comfortably and happily married. Attractive women, of course. They made him feel —well, he just didn't think he had force of character enough to mingle with them. His friends knew of this failing, and what followed was entirely their fault. And of all the men in the world it had to ne Jimmy that found himself in a Turkish bath on ladies’ sight. This brief outline will suggest the infinite possibilities of "Ladies’ Night,” the farce frolic which will entertain at the Murat for :iie half week commencing next Monday. -- -!- -I----ON VIEW TODAY. Other attractions on view today include: "Irene” at the Murat; Amelia Bingham at B. F.

POSTAL BOOST MAY BE DELAYED $3,000,000 Mark Not a Certainty This Year.

■ As the result of an order issued by the Postoffice Department at 'Washington recently salaries of postoffice employes, except those in the automatic grades, will be increased SIOO each as soon as the annual receipts of the Indianapolis postoffice pass the $3,000,000 mark. Last, year the receipts amounted to $2,800,000 and every month this year has shown an increase over the corresponding month of 1920. However, these increase* have b’on relatively small and it is not believed the gain will be sufficient to carry the total to $3,000,000 for the year. Asa resuit employes probably will have to wait another year for the increases. The positions affected by the order and the salary now attached to each is as follows: Assistant postmaster, $3,700; superintendents of mails, $2,300, $2,500, $2,700. $3,000; foreman, $2.10 > and $2,200; ; postal cashier, $3,100; assistant cashiers, $2,200 and $2,400; money order cashier, < 82.800; bookkeepers, $2,000 and $2,200 station examiner $2,300.

SEES COLLAPSE OF GERMANY Hans Kraemer Says Doom Will Arrive Soon. BERLIN, Nov. 25.—“ Germany is sure to collapse no later than next spring, owing to the shortage of raw materials and poor crops,” declared Hans Kraemer, prominent industrialist, in an address today before the Association of Berlin Merchants. “Leaders of ->'■ man industry, who are negotiating a Ciedlt offer to the government have warned the government that Grman exports are constantly decreasing,” Kraemer said. "Unfortunately America stands by, unmoved by our tragedy, while Anton Rothschild, when asked whether he would be able to secure one billion gold dollars to loan Germany, answered, “England and America together haven’t got it” THOUGHT HE WAS SHOT; ARRESTED Police Unable to Find Wound on Alleged Bandit.

Flnnen Wright, 31, 337 South Holmes avenue, alleged hold-up man, said he was shot last night when W. H. Esarey, 38, 823 Woodlawu avenue, drew a revolver and fired, after Wright had attempted to hold Esarey up. The policy emergency squad reached Bertha and Warman avenues and Wright was lying on the ground. Armed with a shotgun and wearing a red handkerchief over his face, Wright stopped Esarey, a railroad man, and or- | dered him to hold up his hands. Esarey j drew a revolver and fired one shot at i the would-be bandit, who fell to the ground groaning, “I mu shot.” The police examined Wright, but failed to find where he had been hit. Wright was arrested on the charge of drawing deadly weapons with intent to | rob. Esarey was arrested on the charge of unlawful possession of firearms. Wright denied any attempt to rob Esarey.

The key to success is work — There is no substitute for it! In order to do your best work, you must be healthy. You must sleep soundly at night, your nerves must be strong, steady and under perfect control. , If you are accustomed to drinking tea or coffee with your meals or between meals, you may be loading yourself with a very great handicap. Your nervous system may be stimulated beyond what is natural for you. For tea and coffee contain the in and caffeine. These are drugs,as any doctor can tell you. They are known to irritate the nervous system by their action and to cause restlessnessv and insomnia, v hich prevent the proper recuperation of the vital forces. J?) If you want to be at your best, capable of doing the S| very best work that lies in you. why not stop drinking tea \,£ and coffee? Drink Postum, the rich, satisfying beverage made from scientifically roasted cereals. Postum contains absolutely no drugs of any kind, but in flavor tastes much like rich coffee. It helps nerve and brain structure by letting you get sound restful sleep. |t- * ' '£f/\ ran- 9 | '.A Postum comes in two forms : Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly |® Postum in the cup by the addition of boiling water.
