Elizabeth Patterson Has ‘Weak Back’and ‘Feet Hurt Her’in New Walker Production

By WALTER D. HICKMAN Elizabeth Patterson has a “weak back” and her feet hurt her. That, she admits As Kupftfofilff in Stuart Walker’s brand new comedy, “Five Flights Up,” which saw the light for the first time at the Murat last night. We first see Euphronla escorted into the elaborate studio of Feodor Kazanovich, a Russian musical sensation in New York, under the influence of "white mule” or a kindred animal. The poor soul fears the kick of the “mule” has caused her to go blind but she discovers that a cheap but heavy veil is the cause of her sudden loss of vision. She is Just a common person, this Euphronia, and she loves her whiskyloving husband, Alexander (Walter Poulter.) She is accepted as a “guest,” she and her “soaked" husband, but she turns out to be a maid and Alexander becomes a butler. And that leads up to the fine irony of Mr. Walker’s imagination. Euphonia refuses to be a uniformed servant and Alexander tells the master where to “head in.” Fitted against these “servants” is the temperamental Russian pianist who sells his “temperament" to Mr. Mortimer (Aldrich Bowker) and to Mrs. Boyne (John Hoyt). Mortimer is one of those old fossils who, in the winter time of life, longs to frolic like a youth, but can't. The flower has withered, if it was ever a flower (probably only a weed transplanted into an expensive hothouse), and the color of life will never touch its cheeks again. Feodor is a male charlatan —he sells his musical temperament to Mrs. Boyne. She thinks he is selling himsejf to her, but he holds out. He cheats. He admits it and the rich Mrs. Boyne learns what a fool she has been. Then the musical person discovers his inspiration is really his secretary, Miss Smith (Spring Byington). He forces Marina, a Russian servant in his home, to confess that she (Marina) is the mother of Feodor and

that he is an illegitimate child of a wild Russian love affair. That confession does not daunt Miss Smith. She admits that two of her relatives were nev* married — Adam and Eve. The final curtain descends with Miss Smith and Feodor locked in each other's embrace. Mr. Walker’s latest idea is daring Yes, but it lias been skilfully handled in certain scenes. A little too much talk and atmosphere in the first act, but nevertheless it takes a stranglehold on one’s imagination. “Five Flights Up” is a strange and exotic mental excursion Into the realms of temperament. It is, at times, most brilliant mental food. A little daring but rare fun. I must pay a tribute to Aldrich Bowker for his work as Mr. Morti-

mer, who at advanced years has more flesh than common sense left. Bowker makes this old moral wreck live in all oi his ghostly horror. He does it with simple but powerful strokes. Mr. Bowker's characterization will live as one of the outstanding characterizations of the Walker season. Mr. Walker has given his excursion into the land of temperament a most lavish setting. The many situations are beautiful stage pictures. It is a gem of stage witchery. The spell is overwhelming. Mr. Walker is playing the role of his brain child —Feodor. Others In the cast are Myra Hampton (splendid), George Somnes, Julia Hoyt (who looks wonderfully well in marvelous gowns and acts much better than she did last week), and Luclle Nikolas. In addition to Mr. Walker’s play,

GASOLINE consumption during the month of June, 1922, was 20% greater than during the month of May, 1922, and considerably higher than June, 1921. On June 1, 1922, there were in storage 856,607,102 gallons of gasoline, or 82 gallons for each of the 10,448,632 automobiles registered Jan. 1, 1922. This means less gasoline per car in storage than for any similar period since 1918, with the single exception of the year 1920 when there were only 76.4 gallons per car. The summer demand for gasoline is about double the lowest demand of the winter. If July and August consumption shows an increase proportionate to the June demand (as appears probable) stocks may be expected to decline rapidly. However, because of its unrivaled facilities, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is equipped to care for the gasoline needs of its patrons throughout the Middle Western States it serves. The refineries of this Company operate the year through in order that products will be ready when the heavy summer demand comes. At all times the Company attempts to have its field storage tanks fulL To maintain an abundant supply of gasoline at all points in the territory requires the unceasing efforts of 26,000 employees, the manufacturing capacity of 6 large refineries, the field storage at 8821 bulk stations, 1700 service stations, 515,000 iron barrels, and over 6600 tank wagon and delivery trucks. The motorist who will think in terms of the unceasing streams of cars on the streets about him will quickly appreciate the magnitude of the task confronting the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This task is far more difficult of performance in the Middle West than elsewhere in the United States because the number of cars per capita is greater and the mileage of these cars is greater. Great as this undertaking is, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has proved equal to the job. As gasoline consumption increases, this Company provides facilities to meet it. It believes that this expansion of activity is an essential part of the service which it is expected to perform. Standard Oil Company (Indiana ) 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111.

Dunsany’s "The Gods of the Mountains" is given with a musical setting by the Orloflf Trio. In this really masterful play, George Gaul as Agmar, a great beggar who induces six other beggars to impersonate the gods of the mountain only to be turned into stone, reaches the highest pinacle of fine acting. I can’t go into details at this time but I urge every one who longs to see worth-while things on the stage to see the Walker production of “The Gods of the Mountain” this week at the Murat. It is one’s glorious duty to see this masterpiece of literature played as magnificently as it was written. At the Murat all week. -1- -!• -IArt and Hoakum Mixed A good dancing act and artistic posing act save the bill at the Lyrio this week from too much "hoakum.” Mile. Vera and company, the featured act, reproduce famous groups of statuary. This act attracted our attention because it does not resort to the use of the American flag to get over. Myron Pearl and company present a whirlwind dance act. Here are five clever dancers with a good routine and much “pep.” Though the act of Twyrnan and Vincent is “hoakum” pure and simple, it is cleverly handled. Some good slng-

ing near the close of the act make It worth while. Bowen and Baldwin Is another “hoakum" act of the “nut” variety. Here is a good example of what personality will do, for this act just about makes you like anything they offer. Billy Gaston, who looks something like Babe Ruth, assisted by two women, offer their idea of married life in years to come. The act Is silly, but has some merit. Ash and Francis are two men who offer a “dope” act during which they sing some parodies. The act is tiresome. Keefe and Lillian offer a piano and song act with harmory songs a feature. Armstrong and Neville open the bill with an acrobatio act. The girl in the act does some remarkable Teats of strength.—(Reviewed by J. K.) -I- -I- -IWhy Quarrel?
