STRANGE as it may seem an Oklahoma man who killed another must stand trial. WITH AN AROUSED police force Chicago is not a very healthy place for robbers these days. ' EXPATRIATION in the case of Peggy Hopkins Joyce would be approved by a lot of Americans. A "MARPLOT’’ Is a jimreed that grows in Missouri and one got blown into the United States Senate. JUDGE THORNTON evidently does not believe in that old adage, that a miss is as g id as a*mHe. GIFFORD PINCHOT threatens trouble if they “count him out” in the primary. He should get Judge Arthur R. Robinson there to denounce the "machinists.” OF COURSE, placing a $500,000 fund in his hands had nothing to do with Attorney General Daugherty’s sudden determination to prosecute the war grafters. THE congressional idea of economy seems to be to cut the pay of a "buck” private from S3O to s2l a month and devote the savings to the “pork barrel." The Happy G. O. P. Family? One can readily imagine with what reluctance Senator James Eli Watson yielded to the Importunities of the Republican State organization, of which he is the titular head, to accept the honor of delivering the keynote address at the State convention in Tomlinson Hall on May 24 and 25. It was not until Albert J. Beveridge, Republican senatorial nominee, added his entreaties to those of Lawrence Lyons, State chairman, and others that the senior Senator consented to appear here —according to the statements of the men chiefly concerned with the convention program. Mr. WatsOn pleaded, so the story goes, that affairs of State are so pressing in Washington that he could scarcely spare the time to prepare the keynote address. Presumably these are the same duties that kept him out of the senatorial primary campaign when his colleague. Senator Harry New, went down to defeat after repeated appeals to Watson for aid had fallen on deaf ears. By having Mr. Beveridge join in the call for Mr. Watson it will be apparent to ali, the leaders evidently reason, that the old wounds are t healed. Mr. Watson’s appearance as the keynoter at the special request of Mr. Beveridge will present a splendid picture of party harmony. Watson, the arch standpatter and spokesman of the Administration in the Senate, sounding the principles upon which the campaign will be waged, and Beveridge, the former Progressive and one time foe of standpattism, subscribing literally to the fundamental theories laid down by one who has never deviated from the path of strict partisanship. Senator Watson can be expected to go straight down the line, in that speech, for the Harding Administration. He can extoll its glories, defend its omissions and lambast the opposition as few others can. He can explain his vote in seating Newberry, he can praise the "monumental achievement of the Harding Administration." the four-power pact, and he can elucidate on the high protectionist tariff theory and can even cant upon the phantom normalcy. With a complete indorsement of the Harding Government practically assured as a basis for the Indiana campaign, Mr. Beveridge can then be expected to enlighten the public as to his views on the four-power pact, which he studiously avoided in the primary; he can discuss Newberry, who was one of the contributing influences to his opponent’s downfall. It is, indeed, an interesting situation. The happy family group will Ve almost complete at the convention, t here will be Watson and Governor McCray, the dominant figures in the organization; Mr. Beveridge and Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, echoes of Progressiveism; Charles A. Bookwalter, New orator, Mayor Shank, chief Beveridge lieutenr.- t who failed to carry Marion County for his candidate. The only figure missing will be that of Senator New, Perhaps the dominant faction has not forgotten that Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Shank were not Invited to the Republican editorial banquet last winter staged by, for, and solely in behalf of the fallen Senator.

An Echo of Hannaism The unfortunate impression created by President Hardings nomination of Nat Goldstein as internal revenue collector of the Eastern Missouri District and then his withdrawal of the name only after Goldstein had requested it to avert a scandal, evokes a tone of regret in many papers over what they term a tendency in the Administration to hearken back to the days of Mark Hanna. Goldstein’s, connection with Governor Lowden’s campaign fund, which resulted in the Illinois Governor being sidetracked in the presidential race still retains an unsavory odor two years after it took place. His nomination was clearly intended to reward a handy party worker, to keep in with the Spencer crowd in Missouri and to strengthen Mr. Harding's second term fences in State. “We would infinitely prefer that Mr., Harding should turn out well than 111.” says the Baltimore Sun. "The country’s Interests and recovery will be injured by his failure to emancipate himself from hurtful influences. But he cannot go forward by going backward to Hannaism for example and inspiration. If he does he will cut himself off from the world of today and will make himself a man without a country, a President with only politicians behind him, and with the masses of the people far in advance of him and marching on an entirely different road.” A few more displays like the abrupt removal of the Bureau of Printing and Engbaving employes without regard for the law and the naming of a disgraced politician to an important office and Mr. Harding will find that he is losing the high regard the public generally has felt for his amiable personality. The Auto Killers Again Another life in Indianapolis has been claimed by the auto killers, making the third person slain here in the last three weeks by drivers whom the police allege were under the influence of liquor. All are under charges of manslaughter and if the evidence is as strong as the police declare it is there is no reason w hy these men should not be sent to prison. Mixtures of booze and automobiles have exacted a terrible toll in this city, yet undoubtedly there are countless cases wiiere Providence takes the wheel from the hand of an Inebriated driver ar.d steers the car safely through the streets. It is those persons who have such an utter disregard for the welfare of their fellow citizens that the law must take in hand. It Is unfortunate that an intoxicated driver’ cannot be sentenced to the rock pile or to the penal farm and the absence of such a statute is a terrific indictment of the lack of foresight in the last Legislature which looked so well after the punishment of burglars and highwaymen who only carry around loaded pistols. Judge Wilmeth voiced the sentiments of the law-abiding Saturday when he expressed regret that he could not sentence a man arraigned before him on a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor to jail instead of imposing the maximum fine of SSO. The judge also refused to reduce the SI,OOO appeal bond, expressing himself in the following forceful language: . “I can not reduce the appeal bond ami I regret exceedingly that the law does not permit me to give days on that charge. Persons who drive cars after they have been drinking endanger the lives of everybody in the streets, and they should go to jail for it." While a SSO fine is little enough punishment for the man who can afford to pay high prices for the liquor he consumes, yet if Judge Wilmeth will enforce this meager weapon in hia hands impartially and justly it should do much to free the streets of potential murder oars.

TARRINGTON MAKES US ALL GLAD WE ARE HOOSIERS Barthelmess Has Another Real Picture—Mix Appears in Another Western Story

Indiana Is a great old State after all. This Is the State where they grow real men and women. Some of us may get silly ideas after drifting away from the old State but “The Man From Home” will turn np and saves us from being ruined. In other words, I am .trying to get you in the frame of mind of enjoying a movie version of Booth Tarkington’e. “The Man From Home.” You will recall that on the stage this play was one of the real money makers both for the author and for Bill Hodge, the actor. BUI has been looklug for another “Man From Home” for years but ne SjMfog* ~z‘ hasn't found It up Smt*! jpjff to date. Before seedrajp"* ing the movie verSlll®* JBHgg&j sion. 1 feared that tue producer might JjgOV make n clown out of Daniel Forbes Pike, the hero of the story who hails James Kirkwood, from Kokomo, Indiana, by gosh. I am glad to report that neither the director nor Mr. James Kirkwood, the actor, has ruined the story by making clowns of the Hoosler hero. Mr. Kirkwood’s Daniel Forbes Pike appeals to me as a real enough human being to live in Kokomo. The part has not been made ridiculous by over acting. Just because the man from a small town may possess more manhood than half-baked European nobleman. Is no sign that the small town boy is a boob because he enjoys ham and eggs instead of some fashionable luncheon which no real man could do a day’s work on. I am sure you will find the hero well bandied by Mr. Kirkwood. Anna Q. Nilsson makes a dandy looking Kokomo girl who thinks she is too big for the town and who falls a victim to the schemes of a bankrupt noble in Europe. Splendid work is done by Jose Kubens as Ribiere and by Annette Bensen as

Faustina Ribiere. These two people know how to act. And you will rejoice that John Miltern was chosen to play the role of the King. It Is only a bit but now this man Miltern makea the part stand out. The entire cast of “Tho Man From Home” is as follows: Daniel Forbes Pike James Kirkwood Genevieve Granger-Simpson Anna Q, Nilsson Horace Granger-Simpson.. .Geoffrey Kerr Prince Giovanni Chlarmonte i Vince Leone Chlrmonte ’ Norman Kerry Princess Sabina Chlarmonte s Dorothy Cummlng Ribiere Jose Rubens Faustina Ribiere Annette Bensen The King John Miltern Secretary of the King Clifford Grey And the settings—they are works of beauty. r ßhe Italian scenes were taken in Italy, I am Informed, and they look like the real thing. I don’t know if the Kokomo, Ind., scenes were made in Indiana or not but they look like the real article also. I have the feeling that Indianapolis is going to enjoy Booth Tarklngton's biggest success in movie form. It is bully good entertainment. Probably not a great bit as on the stage but Just the same it Is mighty pleasing entertainment on the screen. It is on view all week at Lnew’s State.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to call the current week at I.oow's "Hoosler week.” Eh 1 Nice entertainment. W. D. H. CONCERNIXO BARTH EI.MEAN AND HIS LATEST MOVIE. Dick Barhelmess has anew movie. Don't rush me. I know wbat you are thinking of ask- ! ing me. I “Is it as geod as ‘Tol'shle David?” you ask. Let me answer the question thl was--It is indeed a hard tack for any actor to live tip to his greatest success. There wll i>e the only one “Tol'shle David" and there wil he only one “Sonny." which is Dick’s latest screen contribution. ; “Sonny" does not contain the genuine honet to-goodness heart interest t that the “David” movie possessed as' the themes are entirely different. m I consider “Tol’shle David" as one of the very few real photoplays and It's going to take a mighty good one to take its place in my memory box. “Sonny” is full of scenes which will make yon want to cry softly—so very, softly. And then there are scenes in “Sonny" which will make you howl with Joy. "Sonny" belongs to the so called World War plays. The story starts with the war, then shifts to tho battle zone and them hank to an American home Harthelmess plays two roles one a rich ; soldier, the other not so rich. In fact, the second one is poor, hut he resembles the rich one. They become buddies The ; rich boy “goes West" and the poor lad , promises to take the rich one’s place st ; home. He does. That affords the comI edy. I haven’t the cast of “Sonny," but I , ask you to notice the work of the acI tress playing the mother role. She is really wonderful. Fine, qnlet, sincere acting. The girl playing the sister role i* also a fine little actress. “f'onny" is miles and miles shead of “The Seventh Day,” which was Dick’s second independent rclcaoe. I didn't care for "The Seventh Day," bnt I am very fond of “Sonny.” "Sonny" is on view at the Circle this week in addition to an elaborate musical program and several stage presentations. At the Circle all week.—W. D. H. -I- -t- -iMR. CHARLES JONES HAS A WESTERN THRILLER. Nowadays, Buck Jones is known as Mr. Charles .Tones. We know not why the change was made. A Western thriller called “Pardon My Nerve,” with Jones and the "third round" of “the Leather Pushers,” make up the i urrent bill at the Isis. Jones is seen as Racy Dawson In “Pardon My Nerve,” a typical Western picture with gun-toters. gamblers, cawpunchers and all others of the gang. Racy drops in town to celebrate and wakes up the next morning with a

•trangs horse. He Is Informed that the horse belongs to a “cranky old maid. In returning the horse, he discovers that the owner Is a good looking young girl. He immediately falls in love with her and riiehet back to town to defend her father, who is a victim of plotting card sharks, who are plotting to get the ranch. Because of his assistance to Henry Dale, the girl’s father, he is made foreman of the Dale ranch. Later the gamblers make another attempt to get the signature of Dale on a bill of sale. During the encounter Dale is killed. Racy takes things into his own hands and wins the friendship of the sheriff. He la successful in handling the affair and wins the love of "the cranky old maid.” Tho cast is good and so is the star. At the Isis all week. -!- -I- -I----ON THE STAGE.

should be played. He was the ideal type and living embodiment of the Judge. However, through some complications, the play was never produced. When Vitagraph decided to visualize this world famous novel natural)' Maelyn Arbuckle was selected for the role of the Judge. When someone asked him if he could play the role he replied: “I cannot play it for T am the Judge.” And so the stage actor took the movie role and made a big hit with it.

Highways and By-Ways , of Lil* Cl’ New York I By RAYMOND CARROLL *■ —— (Copyright, 1922, bp Public Lsdscr Company.) ————

NEW YORK, May 15.—“Dardanella” is only a popular song but it is a real cause of worry to a number of persons, having been continuously in tbe law courts since it came out as sheet music. It was first published in the United States in the spring of 1919 as an instrumental piece but it did not achieve Us vogue until December of the same year when the popular song version was Issued. Altogether more than 1,500,000 copies have been sold, and the demand for the melody persists. Felix Bernard is the Esau of this strange story of a mere song, selling his “birthright” as composer to Fred Fisher, song publisher, for SIOO which is about tbe price of a “mess of pottage” in these modern days. Fisher claimed that the principal work on the composing was done by Johnny Black, cocomposer with Bernard and with whom a settlement was made satisfactory to Black. Bernard is still in the courts, shifting the form of his action from time to time. Fisher wrote the lyrics himself, and there has been no dispute about that. Now into the affairs of “Dardanella" enters “Ka-lu-a,” another popular gong, one of the hits of “Good Morning Dearie.” The authorship of this other song upon the theater programs is ascribed to Jerome Kern, who Is a song writer affiliated with the song publishing firm of T. B. Harms, Francis .Day and Hunter. But Fred Fisher has gone to law claiming that “Ka-lu-a” is only another edition of "Dardanella." After hearing both popular songs played repeatedly Judge Knox of the United States court said; “That ’Ka-lu-a,’ as originally written, employed a part of ‘Dardanella’s’ persistent base, cannot, I think, be successfully dented.” He said that bar after bar of “Dardanella" appears in "Ka-lu-a” and while not granting an Injunction to Fisher, he laid the foundation for an early trial when Jerome Kern will have opportunity to reveal the sources of his inspiration for ••Ka-lu-a.” . P. S.~ I have a very distant recollection hearing a French song in the concert Mayol, a Parisian boulevard theater during 191 K-19. which Is hau ltinglv suggestive of both 'Dardanella" and "Ka-lu-a," A fatuous French writer who has visited America since the arniistice and heard "Dardanella,” satd that “suggestive” was far too mild a word for denoting the resemblance)

There will certainly have to be some sort of a liaison officer created between the spoken and the unspoken drama, a man who will iron out the wrinkles arising between the actually seen and the j screen. Since the baseball barons took ; on Judge Landis, the "movie" magnates hired Will H Hayes and the drama kings tried to get Bernard M. Baru ■!) declined by him with thanks—comes ill this talk of an umpire over all the arbiter supreme of the amusement world, pro mbly somebody imported like our opera singers, lecfurcrv or Russian caviar. In fact the specific occasion of the services of such a Solomon has already risen, Tho Society of American Magicians •’>oo st'ong—could have used such a high potentate to advantage recently in reaching over into tnoviedom and putting 11he quietus upon a motion picture, which . after showing the familiar “vivsection” j illusion, exposes it, thereby cutting deep I into the living of scores and scores of 'magicians who do the trick without telling how. Horace Goldin, the illusionist, tried to obtain an Injunction from the courts restraining the showing of the picture, but the Judge denied the motion. The screen people Introduced evidence that the basic principle of the "vivisection” illusion, titled "Sawing a Lady in Half." was not netv, being known to the an--1 dent Egyptians 3700 B. Had there been the proper liaison between the magicians and the picture people, the film ! probably would never have been made. 'And that’s that! When the Maxine Elliott Theatre was first opened, it was announced by the gracious Maxine —described by Nat Goodwin in his reminiscences as "the Roman ; Senator”—that it would be dedicated and ; devoted to the performances of women j “stars.** Os these. Miss Elliott herself was the first. Recently the original ; policy hns been reverted to and Marjorie Rnmbeau, every whit as handsome as Maxine Elliott in her managerial prime. Is appearing successfully in “The Gold Fish." which enables her to have several husbands and “to pick and choose” among them a fascinating pastime for a popular female star and an attractive one for a star appealing so largely to feminine patronage. Geraldine Farrar, late prltna, donna of what many people call “Otto H. Kahn's Opera House,” could have had her own opera house In New York City after she severed her connection with the Metropolitan organization. She said “no” with a firmness that settled the question of there being a Farrar rival in the opera field. In the fifteen years Miss Farrar was with the Metropolitan, aside from a pair of seats only when she sting, and they usually occupied by her father and mother, she is said to have accepted no free seats from tho management. When she invited friends to hear her sing she paid for the seats, and o hen members of her family went to hear operas in which she did not appear, those pens in Mix’s new movie, “The Fighting Streak.” Andy had promised his mother that lie wouldn’t fight unless he had Ills back to a wall and had to fight to save himself.

MUSICAL FUTURE OFINDIANAPOUS IS NOT DOUBTED Great Reception Given Galli* Curd Guarantees Other Big Concerts. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. The musical future of Indianapolis isl no longer in doubt, following the marvelous reception given Mme. Amelita Galll-Curci in concert at the Cadle Tater-, nacle. The great diva has come and gone, but the fact remains that Indianapolis has a “home” large enough to accommodate the greatest artists and the home is the Cadle Tabernacle. The second great fact of the Galli-Curci concert Is that this city will support to the limit the great singers of the day. Personally, I -mver had any doubt but that this city would support tne best ou the operatic and concert stage, if given an opportunity. I know that Indianapolis is a music-loving c ty, and that she Is loyal to the best musi \ It Is a great undertaking to engage the Cadle Tabernacle and bring a woman of the fame of Galll-Curci to this city. There is grave danger of losing- money and then, there is a chance to more than make good. Galli-Curci* is one of the greatest artists of her time. We know that here and Indianapolis nearly filled the ten thousand seating capacity of the tabernacle to overflowing Saturday for the diva's concert. Galll-Curci was in wonderful voice and spirits. She enjoys big audiences and large auditoriums. In my Interview with her she told me she was not afraid of great halls and big audiences. This is the first time that an opera singer has. appeared in the tabernacle and it must be admitted that the people who wera well back in the rear of the auditorium could hear every word of the singer. My seat was more than half way back in the center of the tabernacle and I had no trouble In following each word. This is apparent—the Cadle tabernarla is an ideal place for concerts. Great good is being done when the tabernacle is used for such purposee. Never has a singer appeared to such a large atidienee in this city as the on* which greeted the diva at the tabernacle. I do not hesitate in stating that this immense audience is the best guarantee in the world that Indianapolis will support the biggest and the best, which the musical and operatic world has to present. And the diva more than satisfied her audience. I have covered many of the world's most famous singers in their day and never has an artist been as liberal with encores as Galli-Curci was at the tabernacle. She kept her promise and sang “Suwanee River,’’ "Love's Old Sweet Song" and other gems as encores. She oven sang a negro melody, “Llndy Lou," as an encore. . At this late hour It Is not necessary to go Into detail regarding the singer’s concert. Her final number, “The Shaadow Sodb," from “Dlnorah.” served best to show off the wonderful high notes of this gifted singer. It was this cumber which revealed the real Galli-Curci. I have heard nothing finer in my years of experience of sitting out in front. Ovation after ovation was showered upon her. It was the grand climax of a marvelous evening. The audience made a favorite out of “Chanson Indoue,” known as “The Song of India." by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Tha spell of this number held the audience for many minutes. Mr. Homer Samuels was at the piano and Mr. Manuel Berenguer was tho flutist. Mme. Galli-Curci did not forget tho 1.500 members of the Gipsy Smith Choir, which occupied fbet regular seats in the choir loft for the concert. On two different she turned her back on the audience and sang to the choir, receiving a marvelous ovation. Mrs. Ona B. Talbot, who presented the great diva In concert here, need not fear for the musical future of this city. Mrs. Talbot by her years of work hero knows Indianapolis. So she dared to bring the great diva here for a concert in the Cadle Tabernacle.
