Glimpses in Land of Make Believe of Other Cities

Hu WALTER D. EICKMAE. A little journey to Chicago recently resulted In the discovery that only three shows are doing “good” business. The three leaders are "The Hotel Mouse” at the Apollo, “Just Married” at the La Salle and “Llnghtnln* ” at the Blackstone. “The Hotel Mouse” was not popular in New York, but I am convinced Chicago likes the play and the two featured players—Frances White and Taylor Holmes. In "Just Married” the featured players are Vivian Martin and Lynne Overman. I am informed both shows, with unaltered casts, will be September visitors at the Murat in Indianapolis. Frank Bacon In "Lightnin' ” is now in its forty-eighth week. Business for this play has held up splendidly all summer and indications are that if Frank Bacon can be prevailed upon to refrain from taking a vacation the show will still be housed at he Blackstone as late as next February. "The Hotel Mouse” Is one of those lively and at times “smart” musical comedy shows. In Indianapolis we have seen Mr. Holmes as the hero of the spoken crook drama "Smooth as Silk” and it is surprising to see how easily and nicely he fits into musical comedy. It is my opinion the work of Barnett Parker as a millionaire's man servant is one of the outstanding features of "The Hotel Mouse.” Parker makes the role stand out prominently with the parts taken by Miss White and Mr. Holmes. Miss White has much to do. She is at her best in a delightful “kid” number, and while singing "Little Mother ' to Mr. Holmes In the third act. Both Mr. Holmes and Miss White take part In a song In a clever little satire on the manners of the country and the city girls. If the Murat should open Its season with "The Hotel Mouse,” It is certain that this house will get off to a pleasant beginning. This show and “Lightnin' ” are getting the cream of the summer business in Chicago this summer, with “Just Married” a close contender. -I- -!• -IAecowJing to information furnished this department, the receipts for thir-ty-three performances of the Municipal Opera in St. Louis totals $200,000. It is claimed this sum is without precedent in the history of any municipal musical or amusement venture in America.

MI MS TO IESIIEMDIW Father and Son Face Jury for Alleged Murder in Logan March. United Pre*B CHARLESTOWN. W. Va. Aug. 5 —Preparation for the resumption of the famous Charlestown mine trials are under way today. John Wilburn, son of the Rev. James E. Wilburn, recently convicted of murder in the second degree in connection with the armed march on Logan faces trial Aug. 7. Two other sons are also to go to trial. One of them. Frank, is now in Jail here. The Wilburns father and sons, are alleged to have been in the party of forty or fifty armed men which met and killed Deputy Sheriff John Gore and two of his aides. Mistaken for Friends Gore had mistaken the party for friends, according to Prosecuting Attorney John Chafin of Logan County. The union men demanded the pass word which was in vogue among the miners at that time. Still thinking the men belonged to the State side. Gore replied, "Amen,” and fell with a bullet in his heart. While Judge R. D. Baily in Williamson, Mingo County, recently nol lied cases involving several officials and members of the United Mine Workers of America, these had nothing to do with the Charlestown trials. The case of Walter Allen, charged with treason, will be taken up after the Wilburn trial. Allen is a union official of Dry Branch. Kanawha County. He is alleged to be one of the chief aides to othe "general” of ♦he march. MOTORIST HAS TROUBLE Downtown Traffic Regulations Cause Lengthy Detours. A hurried motorist fllwered down Meridian St. to reach Washington St. quickly today. At Ohio St. he detoured to the right, as Meridian was temporarily closed. At Illinois and Ohio Sts. he was told to keep on going, as no left turn was permitted. After a complicated turn at Capitol Ave. and Ohio St., where street cars, interurbans and trucks disputed his way, he got down to Washington St. Here he was shooed on by another "no left turn” sign. At Maryland St. and Capitol Ave. he was permitted to turn, after dodging trucks and interurbans, and reached Washington St. via Maryland 6t. and South Meridian St. Total distance traveled to get three blocks from starting point was eight blocka

LAKE CLAIMS THREE Undertow Too Much for Brothers and Another Bather. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. s.—An ur.dertow in Lake Michigan claimed three lives here last night. Corwin Eckel, 17. and his brother. Everett, 15. were drowned while trying to rescue each other in the undertow. Thomas J. "Walsh, 53, caught in the undertow, drowned before aid reached him. INSULATED By United Press BELVIDERE, N. J„ Aug. 5. Nails in the shoe soles of a young woman here served as lightning rods and carried into the ground a bolt which otherwise might have killed her.

The third performance of Reinhardt’s “The Spring Maid” resulted in total receipts of $5,004 from an audience of 7,995. among which were 1,700 who completely filled the big free seat I section, it is announced. Beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 18, Johann Strauss’ “The Queen's Lace Handkerchief” wlil be presented. The season will close with six performances of Kalman’s “Miss Springtime.” The operas presented so far include De Koven’s “The Highwayman,” Victor Herbert’s “Sweethearts,” Kalman’s “Sari,” Sidney Jones’ “The Geisha” and “The Spring Maid.” Several days ago in Culver City, Cal., during a visit of Will H. Hays to the Ince plant, Thomas S. Ince, producer, made a statement filled with sound reasoning and thought. He made the following plea: “In the old-fashioned nickelodeons, to which rich and poor alike flocked, the foundation for the gresf ‘fan’ public of today was laid. We were in touch then with the people. We gave MOTION PICTURES.

We were founding our art on the suffrage of the masses, on the good will of all sorts and conditions of men, without appeal to class prejudice or creed. “Since then the tremendous strides made by the motion picture industry in gaining public recognition almost baffle credulity.

Let our message be direct to them. Let us give them true pictures of life honestly observed: let them deduce the moral. But, above all, let us be honest in our pictured record of our time. “What is immoral in a picture is bad art. Let us paint our pictures so they are recognizable by the
