UNUSUAL POWER GIVEN TO m AUGUSTUS THOMAS

Work Will Be More in Nature of Advisory Than as Censor. DECISION WILL BE FINAL Managers and Actors Prepare for Fight over Forming of New Agency. By PIXIE HIS Est NEW FORK, Aug. 12—The theatrical managers of importance have delegated unusual powers to Augustus Thomas, eminent playwright of the American stage, in the move that was begun some time since to conserve the decency of the stage in this country. A few managers, less conservative than the majority, had seriously impaired the popularity of the i local theater by the production of indecent plays. The other managers, suffering from the influence of this small set, decided to appoint their : own censor and thus obviate the need j of the appointment of a censor from outside. The appointment of Mr. Thomas is along these lines, although he has not been given censorship powers. He has been entrusted with advisory i powers, however, and his decision 6hall be final in the event of an internal disagreement. Thus the stage follows along the same lines as baseball and the motion pictures by centralization judicial powers within one man who can command the respect of the entire trade and profession. Concurrent with the announcement that Mr. Thomas has been appointed comes the story that the managers will first seek to reduce salaries of stars. Eventually It Is predicted that the managers, contemplating another fight with the equity when the present agreement expires by limitation, will be prepared to establish a clearing house or employment agency, and actors and actresses who may be desired for certain parts will be engaged through this agency at a salary not exceeding the figure agreed, upon In advance by the managers. If A wishes to engage Jones for a part he makes this application, and ; until A releases his request no other i manager may negotiate with Jones. Jones is engaged, if at all, on terms and conditions agreed upon and promulgated by the “exchange.” Thus do we have the actors and the managers once more in a fight, and this time a clear cut one from which there can be no deviation on either side. I Unhappily the managers insist they j are forced to this step by the action of the Equity In imposing the “closed shop” on all producers not members of the big producing managers' asso- j elation. New York Is "Dead” Theatrically speaking. New Tork is dead this week. It is true that Michlo Itow has restored to Broadway the “Pin Wheel Revel,” which is a most intertsing. entertaining and original revel of dance, pantomime and song, but Mr. Itow alone has given us something new for the week. In the new version—“ The Pin Wheel” was seen earlier in the season with Raymond Hitchcock among the group—there are i many of the best features of the for- ' mer edition together with some highly j amusing and artistic travesties, a young singer. Hazel Archibald, who sings ingratiatingly, and the same delectable Margaret Petit in her "Masked Bacchante” and ballet school dance, together with the colorful Felicia Sorel and Senia Gluck in "Nymph and Faun” one of the sensa- | tional dances of the season, and Rosalind Fuller, singer, who, happily, has some new groups as well as her exquisite song-pantomime, “Two Sisters.” Anita Eneters, one of the most interesting of the new school of native dancers, has some new numbers. Altogether it is an event that is quite as Interesting as it is artistic, and judged by the latter, it is the most artisic revel New Tork has seen in a decode.

The Equity Players, an organization backed by the Players’ Association will open a permanent season of plays at the Forty-Eighth Street Theater early in October. On the same street, and only a few doors distant, is the Belmont Theater, and this playhouse, too, will be devoted to the work of a permanent company under the executive direction of Richard G. Herndon. The first play of the repertoire has already been tested and the reports from the outlying districts Indicate that it is In every way acceptable for the fastidious taste of the metropolitan district. Another contender in this field next year will be Emanuel Reicher, the noted German actor and director, who sailed last week for Germany. On his return In the fall he will Install a repertory company, acting many of the leading roles himself. As a veteran of more than sixty years on the stage he brings a ripe and valuable experience to his task. Among the plays he Is to act will be "King Lear," his first Shakespearean play In this country. Shakespeare Is not to be neglected by any means here. Janies D. Barton, an international manager and director of tours. Is now In Japan and Is arranging to take to the Ortent a company of Shakespearean play players for an extended tour. "Kempy," the play which cams to New York quietly and created the most Impressive reception of the season, is oelebratlng Its centennial this week, the first, according to the manager. of many that will be celebrated in the future. At any rate It is filling the playhouse to the utmost capacity, and has done so since It began Its career here one hundred performances since. TO DEDICATE POOL City Officials Win Participate at Douglass Park. Douglass Park swimming pool will be dedicated at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mayor Shank, R. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks and recreation and the board of park commissioners will participate. Park officials of Cleveland, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, Detroit, Mich., and Lansing, Mich., will attend.

Little Peep Into the Future of the Land of Make Believe Bu WALTER D. HICKMAW The 1922-1923 theatrical season is upon us. Accurately speaking, no definite announcement has been made concerning the attractions which will open the season at English’s and the Murat. From Chicago, or rather from the Apollo Theater, I get the information that Frances White and Taylor Holmes will conclude their engagement in "The Hotel Mouse." on Sept. 2 or thereabouts, and then swoop down on the Murat for an opening on Labor day afternoon. Addison Miller of English's is not ready to announce his opening attraction, but a successful effort has been made ir> the past to have an important attraction in this house during State fair week. No information to the contrary has been received.

It is rather a tough job to get a line on what Indianapol.s will have next season. We are reasonably sure o' getting at the Murat "The Hotel Mouse," “Just Mamed,” a pleasing little comedy, closely related to the tw.n-bed style of entertainment and now' at the LaSalle Theater in Chicago, the muchly and scussed “ChauveSouris,” now in New York, and a return engagement of "The Bat." I have a right to suspect Indianap oils might get "For Goodness Sake." a musical comedy which has withstood the shock of serious cast changes since arriving in Ch.cago. At English’s, one of the tentative big treats of the season is Dor.s Keane in "The Czarina,” which created so much favorable impression in New York last season. As Helen Hayes goes into the Grand in Chicago in "To the Ladies," a comedy by the authors of “Dulcy” seen at English's last season, we have a chance to see Miss Hayes in her latest vehicle. Undoubtedly we will get a chance to see one of the companies of “The Cat and the Canary,” the latest Broadway thriller which is closely related to “The Bat." Nelson Trow-bridge of the Murat has received the contract calling for the appearance of Sir Harry Lauder. His American tour begins ir. New York on Oct. 2 and closes in San Francisco about the m.ddle of February. Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield prob ably will land at the Murat in “The Blushing Bride.” I haven’t received the slightest hint when we will get to see A1 Jolson in “Bombo" as ho will probably remain in Chicago for monlhs..

Why did such large crowds attend : the Murat during the week that “The ! School for Scandal” was presented by I Mr. Walker? That is a question received by this department. 1 never have posed as a “know-it-i all” and I never will. It is my duty | to relate happenings on the stage and j the screen and aa long as I am doing that it is my serious duty to give my honest opinion in ag good English aa possible. I have spoken highly and sincerely of stage plays and movies ; which the public has ignored. Remember the delicious “The Beggar's Opera,” which starved to death at the Murat last season? Also recall the I slim patronage given to Mrs. Fiske on her last visit to Indianapolis. I liked and enjoyed “The Bat” and Indianapolis did also. In attempting to answer the question asked. It seems to me Indianapolis welcomed a chance to see a standard comedy of the costume period

done by a cast and a producer in which the people have faith. Every high school boy and girl is acquainted with “The School for Scandal." We realized Mr. Walker was our only chance to see this classic. It isn’t being presented on the “road" these days. There is some talk of a Barrymore revival of It in New York next season, but that is New York and not Indianapolis. I firmly believe Mr. Walker has sufficient talent, in his long list of players here and in Cincinnati to produce Shakespeare and I believe that if George Gaul and Spring Byington would do “Romeo and Juliet," crowds would again pour into the Murat just as they did for “The School for Scandal.” Am I wrong? •I* -!• -IThe Chautauqua idea has been given a local trial at the Cadle Tabernacle this week. So far. Thomas R. Marshall, former Vice President, drew the largest crowds, although William Jennings Bryan is expected to have the banner aud.enee tonight. Bishop W. M. Bell is prepared to speak before the largest Sunday night audience tomorrow night. The mid-week audiences have been considered disappoint.ng and the future of the Chautauqua idea in Indianapolis remains in doubt.

STUART WALKER fii NEWSPAPERS Tells Altrusa Club Local Happenings Are Ignored in Publishing News. The newspapers of Indianapolis was the subject of Stuart Walker at this week's meeting of the Altrusa Club. Walker said the papers here pay more attention to out-of-town happenings than to local enterprises. He told the members of the club that Indianapolis is provincial, not because it does not know what is going on in New York, hut because it does not know what is going on here. Any one in Indianapolis who wants his voice to be heard must go to New York, he said. Walker said he felt he must speak personally about the matter. He said he has been here six years and has never been interviewed by an Indianapolis newspaper.

BEAUTY'S VALUE IS IN POWER TO Rousypis* Instructor In Pictorial Values for Paramount Makes Statement. SHOULD APPEAL TO MIND Weakness of Many Films Is Featuring Lavish Scenes Instead of Talent. Bn JAMES T. DEAS NEW YORK. Aug. 12.—1 tis in its emotional value rather than in its pictorial value that beauty is important to the screen. That statement is taken from th first paper written by Penrhyn Stanlaws as instructor in pictorial values in the Paramount stock company school. \ “Beauty should be used not only as an appeal to the eye but also as an appeal to the mind,” Stan lawn writes. “The most beautiful woman in the world would be a failure on the screen unless her beauty had emotional value. We like beautiful women on the screen not so much because we like to look at them but because ‘beauty in distress’ has a tremendous emotional appeal.” -i- -!- -i- m The weakness of many films is they are constructed for the display of a star’s beauty or lavish scenes and rettings are used to compensate for the star's lack of emotional talent. Katherine MacDonald proves the first case. She is called the “American beauty.” Few of her films offer more than passing entertainment ex cept to those who have not seen her beautiful face in previous films. Ap peal to the eye is soon satisfied. The case might be proved by its op posite. Gloria Swanson falls short of the accepted standards of beauty. When she Isn’t bundled up In bizarre clothing, she holds attention through her personality and her ability to act. She isn’t forgotten between pictures. Off-hand, I should say the ten best actresses of the screen are Mary Pickford, Nazimova, Pauline Frederick, Mabel Normand, Irene Rich, Pola Negri, Norma Talmadge, Lillian Gish, Colleen Moore and Gloria Swanson. Only Mary Pickford of that group would be considered beautiful by a committee of artists. Her effectiveness lies in the simplicity of her charac terization. , , Reelographs Here’s a subtitle from Rupert Hughess’ next film, "Gimme”—“The first request for money is as bitter to a bride's lips as the first olive. It becomes an easy habit later, but it's mighty hard to say the first ’Gimme.’ " Wallace Beery will appear with Priscilla Dean In “Lady Raffles.” Viola Dana appears as a movie fan at the theater In "Page Tim O'Brien.’’ Remember Maurice Costello? He -will play In “When the Cows Come Home.” Others In the cast are Gladys Leslie, Norma Shearer, Robert i Elliott and Ernest Hilliard. "Bitter Sweet,” featuring Lon Cha nev and Virginia Valli, has been com- | pleted. [ Victor Schertzinger will direct I Katherine MacDonald in “The Lon® I ly Road.” I Dustin Farnum and Irene Rich will I appear in "The Yosemite Trail,” to jbe filmed in the Yosemite Valley. | Have the movies advanced? Ask I Charles French, now an actor, once a producer. He used to make two brands of pictures. On Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays he ran his Indians and cowboys up the side of a mountain aud gave the resulting film one name. On Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays he ran them down the same mountain and gave that film another name. Those one-reelers cost $309 to produce. WANTHARBINGON RESERVEBQARDa Chamber of Commerce Asks President for His Reappointment as Governor. A telegram urging reappointment of W. P. S. Harding as governor of the Federal reserve board has been sent to President Harding by John B. Rey nolds. general secretary of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce.

Brock Drug Company, 2538 W. Michigan St., enjoyed the opening of the store lastnight so much that it was necessar to call the police. The company, in celebrating the opening, gave ice cream to the children. flowers to the women and ci gars to the men. When the police arrived there were 500 persons, mostly children, all expressing a desire to be served first. The proprietor of the store feared someone would be injured in the rush for ice cream and called the
