Laurette Taylor’s ‘Peg’ Is a Classic; Symphony Director Arrives at Circle
By WALTER D. HICKMAN. ► IRISH is “Pet? o’ My Heart,” and prcud she is of it. Laurette Taylor established herself on the stage with "Peg o' My Heart,” and she has established herseif in the screen world by playing the same role. Miss Taylor has had no trouble in adjusting herself to the screen. She knows comedy values. She knows that her “Peg” on the stage was a definite characterization. Her "Peg” seems to be the same on the screen as on the stage. Miss Taylor has brought to the screen her own “Peg.” not just a movie “Peg,” but the character which made her famous. In doing that Miss Taylor has made the film version of the plav a screen classic. -i- -!- -IIn the film version we see much more of “Peg” than we did on the stage. The movie starts with “Peg” when she was just
a baby playing with her dolls in Ireland. Aileea O’Malley Is the infant “Peg.” Wo get our first view of Miss Taylor as “Peg” while her father is preaching Irish freedom. At the same time we see Michael. her famous dog. In the stage version we are
told about the MISS TAYLOR early hardships of “Peg” and her father, but we see ’em in the screen version. The movie Chichesters are a highbrow bunch, but the need of money compels them to take “Peg” into the household. The movie version then becomes the same as the stage story. The sub titles in many instances are complete extracts from the play, and this is a great help to the movie. The ending of the movie is entirely different from the play. We last see “Peg” happily married to Sir Gerald Adair, known as Jerry in the story, being formally introduced to the English court.* Although the movie ending is different than the play, “Peg” is a mighty happy girl. We love “Peg” when she is happy. Miss Taylor has never appeared in the mov: s before. She is a splendid actress on the stage and she has carried her artistry to the screen. She makes “Peg” actually “talk” with her eyes. She does not “clown,” but has contributed to the screen a com plete characterization. One feels that “Peg” has a soul as well as a mind of her own. Miss Taylor can teach some of the more experienced sereyn players a thing or two about movie acting. The cast is satisfactory. Mahlon Hamilton is Jerry and a good one ■he is. Ethel Grey Terry' is seen to "advantage as the snobbish Ethel Chichester. D. It. O. Hatsweli is tiie simple Alaric. Lionel Belmore is Hawks. The photography’ is up to the standard expected in movies of the class of this picture. "Peg O’ My Heart” is on view all week at the Ohio. The name of the play alone is enough guarantee tiiat it is wholesome and good entertain ir.ent. The bill includes Lloyd Hamilton in “No Luck.” At the Ohio all week. Tarldngton Gives (lie Screen Its Best Main St., Story Booth Tarkington knows small town American family life better than any other writer. , In “Clarence,” we were introduced to a sort of a baby Main St. flapper. She was harmless, but in ”The Flirt,” v Tarkington’s latest
story for the screen, the flapper lias a system behind ali of her flapping. She flaps for a purpose and she nearly wrecks her dear old father and the whole family. This dangerous flapper is known as Cora and her selfsacrificing sister is called Laura.
0 r* ii
MISS EDDY Cora in “T h e Flirt” is “spoiled” by her own father, mother and sister, i Cora has the best of everything. She I takes her pick of the best looking young men in the town. She entertains all of ’em at the same time. Laura is used only in an emergency when Cora takes a fancy to a certain newcomer. Cora has a system to her flapping. She falls in love with a worthless oil promoter from the city. She gives the “cold shoulder” to the chap who should have been her husband. It developes that the other sister has loved this chap for years. Tho oil promoter uses Cora in an attempt to persuade her father to become interested in his oil schemes. The father feels that he should not permit his name to bo used in a questionable enterprise. Cora forges the name of her father to certain papers. Then the trouble starts. The father Is arrested but saved only when Laura forces Cora to tell the truth. The father of course attempts to shield Cora. The story ends happily hut not until the story has taught a splendid lesson. The story Is dramatic but the Tarkington touches has resulted in a real American home being reflected on the screen. There Is comedy as well as pathos in this home. In nearly every home there is one child who is fed with the golden spoon, According to my way of judging pictures, there are three masterful characterizations —the Cora of Eileen Percy, the father of George Nichols and the Laura of Helen Jerome Eddy. As the sister who sarriiices so Cora can have the best, Miss Eddy is really | wonderful. One is happy when it is ;issured that Laura will become the bride of ten honest to goodness Amer ican chap. Mr, Nichols as the father has no: attempted to make a cartoon of hi role. He is a real father at all time: who is ready to sacrifice everythin}, to make Cora happy. Miss Perc could not be improved upon as Cora. “The Flirt” is such a good stor and movie that no one can afford u pass it up. At the Apollo all weak.
“Mighty Lak’ a Rose” Will Be Among the Twelve Best Have you been looking for a picture to place in your memory box next to “The Miracle Man?” Have found that picture for you. It is “Mighty Lak’ a
Rose” and it is on view this week at the Circle. . In this sweet story of ihe influence of a blind girl and her violin on a gang of crooks, you will meet such characters as Rose Duncan, the sweet little blind violinist; Jimmy Harrison, “Bull Morgan,” Slippery Eddie Foster, Hard
ANDERS Boiled Molly MaRANDOLF lone, Humpty Logan who are all crooks and a wonderful dog, Jean. The picture is founded on the theory that music, good music, may act as the cause of a crook reforming. The music work wonders in this story. This story has a musical soul. The uplifting influenc eof tnis story is the blind girl who is kidnaped by Bull Morgan at a depot in New York. Bull takes the girl to “Murderers’ Alley” end there Rose plays her violin in darkness. Jimmy, one of the crooks, first yields to the sermon in the girl’s violin. Molly Malone, a woman of the underworld arid a pal of “Bull” Morgan, is the last one of the gang to be converted. The gang doesn’t fall for the right way to live until Rose goes through some terrible experiences. Finally the gang actually starts on the straight and narrow road. Jimmy and the gang decide to pull one last job for the purpose of getting enough money to pay a famous surgeon who has the power to cure Rose of heg blindness. The gang
Kreisler’s Violin Reflects Gay Moods of Tantalizing Charm in Big Recital
Rimsky-Korsakoff’s Music Given Marvelous Ovation. AY MOODS trickling from the y the violin of Fritz Kreisler tossed an audience, which overflowed from the auditorium of the Murat onto the stage, into an ovation yesterday seldom heard in this city. The last group on the program revealed the fascinating and tantalizing beauty which is hidden in Kreisler’s artistry.' At times the melody seemed to just trickle away into one s memory. Two sketches from "Scheherazade.” by Rimsky-Korsakoff, transcribed by Kreisler, were the direct causes of the audience actually going wild in its demonstration of approval yesterday. Just between us the "sweetest” melody of all was Ivreisler’s "Poliehinelle” (Serenade). This gay melody literally trickled from the violin and the fingers of the artist. Kreisler brings his full bloom of artistry to the gay and lighter moods just as he does to Grieg’s “Sonata, C Minor.” and Bruch’s “Concerto No. 1, G Minor.” Kreisler is one great artist who knows how to blend gay moods and the more serious efforts on a single program. lie lifts the lighter and happier melodies to the same dizzy heights as he does the heavier compositions. There was an old meliody, seldom heard these days, which is known as the "Londonderry Air,” which gave additional proof to Kreisler’s gay violin. .1. .1. I I 1 Kreislpr was greeted yesterday, when presented by Ona B. Talbot, by the largest audience assembled this season for a musical event. It was necessary to crowd several hundred people on the stage and a number were willing to buy standing room. Fritz Kreisler Is not a temperamental fad. He is a sincere and gifted artist who goes about his business without any freakish mannernsms. He lets an audiencj know by his melody that good music is a part of his very being. He is not an accident in the musical world. Years have ripened his art until he is one

"cracks” a safe and gets the money, but Jimmy is.caught. Jimmy is sent to prison and the gang tells Rose, when she can see, that Jimmy is dead. ’ All goes well. “Bull” and the rest of the gang move to the country w’hen Rose attracts the attention of a great pianist. His interest makes it possible to give her a musical education. She becomes a sensation. Who Is it that Rose loves—Jimmy or the rich pianist? Won’t tell. you. See this picture for yourself. Am sure you will laugh and cry at this picture. Beautifully photographed and acted. Acting honors go to James Rennie as Jimmy; Anders Randolf as “Bull;” Helen Montrose as Molly Malone and Dorothy McKaill as Rose, the blind girl. “Mighty Lak’ A Rose” is the feature this week at the Circle. You probably will hear lot of talk about Buster Keaton in “The Balloonatic,” a comedy also on the bill. This picture is splendid fun and different from all the other Keaton comedies.

The Circle Theater is more than a pile of brick and stone, but it is an institution with a big idea back of it all. This theater has become an institution because of it3 work in giving Indianapolis a Symphony Orchestra and a real conductor. The Circle archest ra began to grow some months ago when the management increased the size of the orchestra and obtained S. Leopold Kohls as conductor. While the orchestra was growing in the art of playing, an audience for better music was being created. For months the Circle has been known as the home of good musicj Yesterday one of the leading con-

He did not go into a frenzy, but smiled and walked off the stage to replace the string. Presently he returned and began his concert as If nothing had happened.

COUGHED SO HARD HE WAS READY TO DIE But he recovered quickly and gained 9 pounds in 5 weeks. “Last December I caught a hea,vy cold, which left me with a deep-seated cough. I coughed so hard it would start the blood. I thought I was a goner, until I tried Milks Emulsion. I used 9 bottles altogether. My cough Is gone, and I have gained nine pounds in five weeks. If any one doubts it, let them write me.”—Chas. L. Walters. 147 80. 18th St., Pittsburgh, Pa. When hundreds upon hundreds of people tell you of just such 'recovery, just such gains in weight, It must be worth your trying, at least. A trial costs nothing. Milks Emulsion restores healthy, natural,bowel action; it is a truly corrective medicine, doing away with all need of pills and physics. It promotes appetite and quickly puts the digestive organs in shape to assimilate food, and thus build flesh and strength. Milks Emulsion is strongly recommended to those whom sickness has weakened; it is a powerful aid in | resisting and repairing the effects of ; wasting diseases. Chronic stomach ! trouble and eonstip: ■‘ion are promptly j relieved. This is the only solid emulsion mad 9, t and so palatable that it is eaten with ! a spoon like ice cream. Truly wonderful for weak, sickly children. No matter how severe your case, you are urged to try Milks Emulsion under I this guarantee—Take six bottles home with you, use it according to directions and if i ot satisfied with the results, your money will ‘be xiromptly refunded.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
ductors in the symphony orchestra field mad© his first appearance as conductor of the Circle orchestra. His name Is Modest Altschuler. It is not necessary to comment on the ability or the achievements of this master. The fact is this—that the Circle Theater has brought this great leader to Indianapolis as resident conductor, succeeding Mr. Kohls, who has gone to another field. The overturne this week is ‘“Dance of the Hours,” and it gives the conductor ample opportunity to reveal his methods of directing. He radiates response from the conductor’s stand. His conducting is done without any fireworks. He knows music and alms to present melody from his musicians by intelligent directing. Mr. Altschuler was given a splendid ovation yesterday when I was present. The biggest tribute was not the applause hut the sincere attention given by a capacity house to the work of the orchestra and to the new director. The Circle Theater is becoming the shrine of good and worth-while music and the arrival of Mr. Altschuler is another step forward. -I- -I- -IConnie Trys Her Hand at Reforming a .Man. When a good-looking girl desires to take a man In hand, It’s a two-to-one shot that she will win. Often times the girl loses her own heart in the end, and this Is Just what happens in “The Veiled Adventure” starring Constance Talmadge at the Isis for the first half of the week. Miss Talmadge has the role of Geraldine Barker, who is engaged to be married to Reginald Crocker. Geraldine discovers a veil in Reggie's pocket and decides to humiliate him. About this time her brother brings a friend from Texas to their home. Geraldine enters into a' plot with her two sisters to cure tho young Texan of being a "goody-good” sort of fellow. She wins, but falls in love with the Texan. The finale shows them spooning and an old fisherman watching them says “Hurry up and kiss her so I can pull in this fish.” “Round Ten” another interesting picture of the "Leather Pusher” series is included in the program.

Thousands have kept themselves healthy with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin ADVANCING ape with its z\ subdued ambitions and strivings could be made very happy if only good health accompanied it, and the basis of good
health, as everyone learns upon reaching the age of 60, is the regular daily movement of the bowels. If it can be effected through the food you eat, the water you drink and the ex-

Neglected constipation causes the blood pressure to go up 23 per cent, and that is the forerunner of hardening of tho arteries. It makes rheumatism and g nut worse, too. Tho ideal constipation remedy for people of advancing years is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, a vegetable compound of Egyptian senna and pepsin with pleasanttasting aromatics. It is gentle and mild, and does not cramp or gripe. It is a mistake to think you need a violent salt or powder or pill, calomel, coal-tar drugs and such things. They purge and

Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin does not lose its good effect with repeated use, and increased doses are unnecessary. Mrs. E. M. Burgess of Enfield, N. C., who is 73, keeps herself in good health with it, and Mr. Charles Chorman of Stapleton, Staten Island, N.

Use Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin yourself the next time you suffer from constipation, biliousness, headache, sleeplessness, indigestion, piles or night cramps. Many thou ’s of elderly people use nothing . c, and it costs them less than a cent a dose. Druggists have sold it successfully for 30 years, and it is the most widely bought family laxative in the world.
