HISTORY BFINDIGO STORY OF GERMAN MILITARY FORCE Coal Tar Source Furnishes Medicines, Explosives and Food Stuffs. ROMANCES ARE INTERWOVEN Government Steps In to Keep Control of Tremendous Possibilities. Editor's Note —The world's most powerful weapon, for military operations or commercial conquests, to be found in the 4,700 German jmtents—most of them for dyes, •Medicines and explosives— which the United States Government is trying? to get its hands on again. Attorney General Daugherty has filed suit to force the return of these patents to the alien property custodian. The Chemical Foundation now controls them. Whoever gets them, the fate of these patents is of d.iect importance to you. T t may even be a matter of life cr death. For some, at least, it literally will I e. Here. then, is the first of a series of articles telling about it. n Sidney r.. wbipple | rimes Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.—Crammed with evil, tilled with good: benefactor o? humanity and scourge of civilization: builder of empires and destroyer of nations: Such is Indigo, the history' of which is a romance. The history of German’s commercial supremacy is the history of 'indigo. The story of Germany's military machine is the storv of indigo. From the coal tar out of which indigo is derived come medicines that have beaten man's most terrible diseases, hitherto incurable. Out of it have come food extracts that have made life better worth living. Dyes. Paints and Anaestlietirs Dyes, paints and anaesthetics: products a thousand times sweeter than sugar and a thousand times bitterer than gal!: and tasteless things; and all the colors of the rainbow and things without any color at all. And the most deadly explosives known to man: explosives so powerful that they virtually reduce a human arget to gases. Tn the development, of these things death and graft and bribery; secret agents, vjllians and spies have all played their part. Now your Government is to determine their future. Adolf Baeyer. a German, discovered a process of making synthetic indigo in 1880. Tn 1514 the Badische Anilin-und-Soda Fabrik controlled 56 per cent of the world's output. In 1516 a “cartel,” or monopoly, was formed by the seven greatest manufacturing concerns of Germany. All foreign business was “pro-rated” by these firms. If it were necessary to take a loss in order to hold a market, the loss was divided. The cartel could therefore undersell any fore.gn nyemaker—almost to the po.nt of giving its product away in order to maintain its hold. Twenty \'ars of Progress Tt was from 1880 to 1900 that the Germans made the.r great progress in coal-tar chemistry. They developed sal-var-san, the world's first cure for blood po son. They developed novocain, or procain. which your dent.st uses as a local anaesthetic. They developed svnthetic flavoring and perfumes, dyes, electrodes, composit on shingles, insulation, paints, sidewalk material, disinfectants, pipe coat:ng, rooting, paving material. They extracted veronal. sulphonal. phenacetin, asperin. And in the meantime they created p:eric acid and with that —trinitrotlluol, or TNT. The war taught us what TNT meant.

BUILDS MEW NO AND REAL FLESH -

‘Bluest’ of All ‘Blues’ Orchestra Starts Whole Audience Swaying to Jazztime

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. The cornet chirped “da-da” and the aceordian moaned “sweet papa." And that threw Keith's into a "panic,” and me with ’em. I am talking of the Oriole Terrace Orchestra of the Edgewater Beach Hotel. Chicago, which is the chief delight on the new bill at Keith's I have heard many a jazz orchestra but it remained for this Oriole organization to give me my first real taste of the musical “blues.” This orchestra starts out making the atmosphere blue where all the others leave off. I for one have remained free from the clutches of that disease known as the “jazz blues,'’ but I certainly took to my bed yesterday with that aliment. Th 9 haunting moan of the aceordian and the tantalizing chirp of the cornet and the tut-tut of the flute threw me into a jazz fever. .l .1. .l

The Blues Fever I wasn't the only one who got the fever, because this orchestra stopped the show, tied it into a knot and held it there. Every member of this organization seems to live on the blues, and when they start swaying the disease starts all over the house. I have no hesitation in saying this is the finest "blues” playing organ! zation I have ever heard. The aceordian player is a blues playing monarch. It is he who rocks the boat am! puts this organization at the head ol its class. James Mullen and Anna Francis tro' on. following the blue trail left by the orchestra. They take advantage of it and blue up their act with modem noisy hoakum. Craig Campbell, a tenor, who knows how to sing, and Hector McCarthy, pianist, contribute the better grille of musical entertainment. A real treat for those who enjoy real music. .Tames P. Conlln and Myrtle are known to Keith audiences and their offering this season is about the same as usual. Tt is called “The Four Seasons and, the Four Reasons.” Frank Ward, by the use of some dolls, contributes an act -which smacks of originality. He has a talking end singing doll. Carmen and Marika Dawson present in dance their conception of a sister dancing act in 1880 and today. The Kitaros. Japanese who juggle barrels and human beings, close the show. At Keith’s all week. -I- I- I<'oncoming "Mulligan's Follies” Travesty forms the backbone of “Mulligan's Follies.” This show, now on view at the Shubert-Park. is the second of the Shubert unit vaudeville shows to be offered at this house. We haven't had much travesty on the local stage, and that offered hy De Haven and Nice is refreshing. Their travesty on classical dancing is a gem. It is one of the high spots of the show. Their work handed me a thousand-pound laugh. This week's show is divided into two parts—vaudeville proper opening with “The Flappers’ Jubilee.” The second half is called “Mulligan’s Follies.’’ The vaudeville part of the show may be summed up as follows: “The Flappers' Jubilee” —A sort of a musical comedy introduct.on idea with the Casady Twins. Peggy Monroe. D Arville Sisters. Lorrie Allfn. Helen Gould and Betty Dennison. The “bluest" number is real “blues.” Scenery doesn't match up with the test of the act. “Caught in the Rain”—This act introduces Miss Margaret Merle and Arthur Brown. Both have splendid voices. Easy winners. Brown appear? min"? his trousers. Some of the linden, conversation is "low comedy.” Deliaven and Nice—This really funny team first appears in “The Backyard Entertainers," in which they do some splendid dancing. * Joe Towle —Joe is a little "broad” at times. The expression, “What the Hell” isn't comedy to me and hasn’t any place on the vaudeville stage. “Entertaining the Sheik” The dancer in this act Is rather unadorned. This act features Ben All's Arabs, a worth while organization. Act nicely staged. “Mulligan's Follies.” which is the i revue proper, opens with a pretty and . melodious offering called “The Tsle of Kikuyu.” in which Arthur Brown sings “Will You Remember.” “The Radio Aquarium” has a hit song of the popular variety, "Beautiful Fish of the Sea.” as done by Mr. Brown. The girls are gloriously attired in this

number*. The jazz song knockout is “Fish Scale Glide,” as done by Miss Allen and girls. We have lots of hoakum in “A Theatrical Booking Office of the Old Days.” which has the services of De Haven and Nice. Towle and others. “A Glimpse of Havana” is a scene which • could have happened in this country before the days of prohibition. This scene doesn't add any class to the revue. The revue closes with “The Stairway of Love.” a pretty musical finale, but needs more of a punch to make it live up to the rest of the show. A high staircase is erected on the stage for this scene. When some of the kinks are ironed out, "Mulligan's Follies” will stack up much more satisfactoryily than last week's offering at the Park. -I- -b -IGrandma Wins Again Grandma comes in to her own at jthe Lyric this week arid her seventyS two years is no handicap when it comes to singing and dancing. ! Grandma isn't mentioned on the program, but appears during the act of Chic and Tiny Harvey. She interrupts them from the audience and I goes on stage to put some “pep” Into ! the act. She does It, too, and Is the ! hit'of the bill. The headt.ne attraction. “Dear DocI tor," is a miniature musical comedy i with two men and three good looking I girls who s>ng and dance. The next of importance on the bill is the "Four Pearls.” a dancing act consisting of two girls and two young i men. They have a routine of dances which are handled in good shape. The Marions open with a bagpunching act and then do a burlesque boxing match that has some coined.' value. Charles Gibbs has a whistling act and imitates a number of different musical instruments. McCarty and Stenard present an act dealing with a divorce court. The Mystic Heller Trio closes the hill With a splend.dly ! arranged mag e act in which dancing : and singing are introduced. (Re ] viewed by J. K.l. With Is Again The oldtime “Dutch comedian" of | turlesque, is again becoming popular, after several venrs of oblivion. The present comedian however, has given up the slap-stick methods and uses current events for his comedy situai tions. ! Such a comedian is Arthur Mayer. who heads the cast of “The Baby j Fears” at the Broadway this week. ! Mayer confVibutes all the comedy or the show. Nat Bedell, the second j comic, is weak. Emma Kohler heads the singing contingent and has a program of wellknewn musical comedy songs, Nellie Nelson works hard to put "pep" in i the show and Helen Harris makes a good looking ingenue. > Albert Dupont, Fred Reece and the usual chorus complete the cast. Saxoplioue Conversation One saxophone player to another at the Rialto this week, “I see that the American soldiers are all going to quit smoking?” "Why?” asks the other player. “Because they want to live long enough to get their bonus.” The musical offering at the Rialto this week is named “Whoop ’Er Up. Mabel." A number of specialties are i offered by Quigley and Stewart and Romaine and Griesse. Several principals und a chorus are used. The movie feature of the bill is Mollie King in “Women Men Forget."
