The Walker bill for next week will be a comedy. "Our Little Wife.” Stenard's Midgets will be the headline attraction at It. K. Keith's. Itelle Oliver, ill Indianapolis actress, will be on view at the Lyric. •‘Friendly Neighbors” will be on view at the Rialto next week. -|- -|. "Ol R LITTLE WIFE” AT THE MI'HAT NEXT WEEK. The Stuart Walker Company will present for the tirst time in Indianapolis Avery Hop wood’s hilarious farce of marital difficulties entitled “Our Little Wife” all next week at the Murat. This highly diverting confection served as a starring vehicle for Miss Margaret Illlngton a few seasons ago on Broadway. The author of “Our Little Wife” is one of America's most successful playwrights, having to his credit such theatrical bonanzas as "The Bat," which is still playing to crowded houses in New York, and "The Gold Diggers.” The pteee Is an ideal one for Indianapolis summer time theatergoers. “Our Little Wife," is a rather obstreperous young matron named Dodo. The story of the play concerns Dodo's Harmless but none the less suspicious PUlventures, with the young men of her acquaintance. She is a most attractive lady, this Dodo, and through ner attractions phe has surrounded herself with a crowd of adoring young men. Though she Is ringmaster of this troupe. Dodo vlso has a husband. This husband loves her, but he is very curious to see Just what his little wife is up to. So, when ho sics his friend Bobo, on wifie to see how far she'll go, she goes all the way to Bobo's bachelor apartment, where she proves beyond question that If she is teu degrees above, he Is ten degrees below normal. Here, Bobo's blunders bring down an avalanche of Irate husbands and wives. Eventually, however, divorce is avoided. It's all been mere philandering, and Dodo—far from being an extinct bird—promises to eschew

In her act she runs the gamut from Jazz numbers to ballads and does equally as well with either. From the Parisian music halls come Palo and Palet, "Les Bouffons Musical,” who play accordions, saxophones, baritone horns, flutes and clarinets with skill, and who are also versatile comedians. They nre familiar figures iu the continental music halls and bring to Anterior, a refreshing musical novelty.

The death of Lillian Russell this week at iter home in Pittsburgh, i'a . tins removed an Interesting personality from the affairs of the stage as well as of the nation Her fame has been of bag standing and the younger generation has accepted the decree that Lillian Russell was "fatuous yours ago." Iu the iust four .tears she tins >t been active on the stage but she did splendid work re rrulttng for the marines during the World War and In aiding the various Liberty Loans. Vaudeville lias had the services of this remarkable woman. Some of her ve hides did not reveal the qualities to any great measure which aided her to fame Yet. probably her fame rests In hor beauty and her secret of youth. Lillian Russell was always considered n box office success. Her last appear anee on the stage was about four years sgo when she appeiire ' nlth Raymond Hitchcock tn a mimnii r show In *’hi engo. Many of us remember her In "Wildfire” and tin; older ones recall seeing her at Tony Pastor’s Theater In New York. For years she has Ixjen associated with “tho royalty" on the stuge. Sho was one of the thoroughbreds who reached the ladder of fame by slucere work. Some of the younger patrons of tho theater may not consider Lillian Run sell s work In Rertou* vein. She helped to elevate light opera ami musical comedy. She was not a "temperamental” star, but a real woman I cannot refrain at this tlmo In pay-

Ing respect to the memory of 11 woman, who. during her life, was an actual In splmtlon tn the musical comedy field. Again another valuable stage leader ha* played her last role in this world -I- -I- -!- It was a source of great pleasure to the writer to he Informed by a mau closely Identified with amusaui'iits .n the city and a man who is In the game "to make money,” to welcome the arrival of the Municipal Theater nt BrooksUle Park He told me that he did not fear the city-owned theater as a competitor, but weixuued It hs an "educational inti uenee." It has been my opinion for so mo time that Indianapolis Is composed of three classes of people as applied to the amusement field those who are regular patron* of the theater, both movies and vaudeville as well as the legitimate theater, then there is the occasional pa iron and the third class is composed of those who do not include the theater ns a necessary recreational medium. •>u the night that 1 visited the Municipal Theater, 1 talked with numerous people Quite a number stated that they were not patrons of the theater, but they "went sometimes to the movies.” One man told mo that ho find been plan nlng to go to the Murat in order to see the Walker Company He admitted that he was Impressed with the stock idea and that he “thought" he would visit tho up town theaters more often. If the Municipal Theater will stimulate

Interest In the stage, whether that Interest is centered on reading stage news or actually attending the theater, then the first city owned theater will be serving an educational ueed. Just because a man attended the theater twenty years ago to see Eddie Foy is no sign that ho rushes to the theut. - now days to see u bunch of new (tutors. A vaiua de playgoes ’■ one who knows the s’ age and the screen and who delights in reading find discussing the various phases of :!>•• amusement world. Give us more municipal theaters if the public wan's them. Mr. Shank. I received the following from Harry D. Wilson who represents the Jackie Coogan company: What about the silent partners of the silent drama ? The motion picture, like the business world, lets its silent associates. Let os take "Oliver Twist" for instance the big production Ju- kie Coogan is now busy making. Supporting Jackie is n truly all-star •■ast. liis director Frank Lloyd is a man ■ . rfertly equipped to direct the produc- | tion The story is a classic. But wiiat about those who are on the side lines” of the "sets" -helping make "Oliver Twist" a massive presentation. Little i sai-1 about these movie silent partners Introducing ns an example Stephen Goosson. art director for the Coogan eomI any. Goossen created thp beautiful settings for Mary Bickford's ’'Fauntleroy” .■•. ml for Douglas Fairbanks' "Musketeers." He his designed some of our most talked j about homes as well—Henry Ford's residence in Detroit Is an example. Walter Israel is another "silent cog” ■ In the Coogan work* He Is chief designer He has twenty women working j day in and day out -creating costumes I for Jackie and the huge supporting cast j for "Oliver Twist.” i Shirley Vance Martin made a name I D r himself in giving us the "Kismet” ! -till photographs He is tho still phn- ! f grapher of tho Coogan organization. ; It rests upo nhitn to give us ail tiie still ' photo* on "Oliver Twist." ! There’s others —many more. Irene Morra, the film cutter, for one; Glenn MeWlilli ms, the cameraman, is another. And Robert Martin, his assisteant, is st'U another. Harry Well, assisting Frank Lloyd, the director, is another worthy of ! special recognition. There's Johnnie Podmorc, who Is not only a first-eiass property man, but a special guardian to the little sfsrlet himself. Space will not permit us to go farther Suffice It to S say three "silent partners” are oft times 'ns Important as the “all Mar” easts who d.tntu columns of space in newspapers and publications. These silent cogs are ever watchful—willing- alert. let us not too quickly brush them from our j memory for they are truly worthy of j recognition lest we forget!

Exposing the evils of extravagance, "Charge It," a drama dedicated to American women, and starring Clara Kimball Y'oung, comes to the Apollo next i week. ! The story was written ty Sada Cowan. It strips bare the selfishness of the woman who saddles her husband with a burden of debt, forcing them both to live beyond their means, und bringing inevitable financial ruin and unhappiness to sutify her vain desire for fine clothes, and the luxuries that are lavished upon the more fortunate women of wealth. Miss Young Is cast as Julia Lawrence, a society lender whose husband is busy ! amassing a fortune in old Investments I while she is equally as busy spending it | upon herself. Her charge accounts grow 1 to such proportions that he is forced to | work day and night to stem the ever rising tide of debt. Feeling that she Is being neglected, the wife turns to another man, only to learn through a tragic I trend of events that her own regenerai tion must be accomplished before she can know contentment.

Two featured attraction* win be offered next week at the Isis, the double program consisting of Charles Jones In "Western Speed” and Ben Turpin In Mack Sennett's newest comedy, “Step Forward.” "Western Speed” Is Just what it* title Indicates—a speedy drama of the western plains, with Jones in his familiar cowboy attire playing the role of "Red” Kane of the Box S ranch, who falls In love with n girl the first time he lay* eyes on her, despite the fact that *he holds him up nt the /dnt or a gun. The girl, the daughter of Ben Lortmer, a ; homesteader, believes Kane to be an enemy. Not until he rescue* her from a runaway team does her attitude change toward him. Then when he Is wonnded 1 in a successful attempt to save her father from the plot of a couple of crooks, she nurses him back to health and a real romance develops. “Western Speed” is an adaption of William Patterson White’s famous story of "Lynch Law." It Is pneked with rough aud ready action, and Is strenuous enough even for Jones, who like* nothing better than "speed" In his pictures. Eileen Percy is again the heroine, i In "Step Forward,” Ben Turpin creates merriment as a cross-eyed stret car conductor who wouldn’t steal a nickel from the company for fear that ho couldn't look any one straight in tiie face. Phyllis Haver heads the beauty brigade, and in the cast is Sennett’s famous canine comedian. Teddy, who haa much to do with the fun making. "THE OATH” ON VIEW AT MISTER SMITH'S. "The Oath." which Is the attraction at Mister Smith's Theater beginning Sunday. 1* one of the “big photoplays” of the present season. It was produced and directed by R. A. Walsh from Wil- ' Ham J. Locke’s famous novel, "Idol*,'’ and presents a cast headed by Miriam Cooper. Anna Q. Nillsen. Conway Tearle and Henry Clive, the well-known artist. The story depicts a period in the lives |of Hugh Coleman. Minna Hart. Irena Lansing and Gerald Merriam. Hugh and Gerald both love Irene, nnd when Irene marries Gerald. Hugh turns to Minna for consolation. She loves him and they marry secretly because of the ! objections Mr. Hart has toward Hugh, who learns to love Minna whole-hearted- ; lv. but not until Minna has come to bei lieve that he is ashamed of the marriage. The oath. Insisted upon by her. is that each will regard the marriage as never having taken place and • never speak of It. Mr. Hart is slain by thugs, and all circumstances point to Hugh. His con- , viefion is certainly due to his refusal to ; break the oath far enough to establish an alibi for tiie time of the murder. Irene, however, sees a way of saving ! him. and although It means a sacrifle | that endangers her whole happiness, she I takes tho step and supplies one of the j nu-st dramatic climaxes ever presented In 1 a motion picture. Eventually these four . are able to work out their destinies and find real happiness. i A Buster Keaton comedy. "Cops,” and i a news reel complete the program.
