‘Banco’ Doesn’t Tread on Firm Ground; ‘3 Wise Fools’ Delightfully Acted

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. £ { ANCO" is a sort of a teaser. It would like to be down right naughty but it hasn't enough backbone. The program announces that “Banco” is a comedy of one charming wife and two husbands, adapted from the French of Alfred Savior by Clare Kuramer. I am afraid 1 am rather old-fash-ioned. as I do not relish the idea of seeing a divorced husband calmly sitting on the steam radiator in the bed room on the wedding night of his divorced wife to another man. Husbands don’t run in twos, not in proper comedy. All the laughs I had last nigh' at the Murat were hysterical laughs. Some of the situations were brilliant (a few) but the main theme is stupid bunk. “Banco" to me (and I am sveaking only for myself) is a sort of a spicy French pudding made into a clumsy apple dumpling. In the firs: place, I am not fond cf stupid second husbands and porch-climbing first husbands. "Banco" hasn’t enough backbone to be brilliantly rotten. The theme is not Immoral, but rather a tiresome bore. It isn’t so much what is said in “Banco" that counts, but rather how It encourages one to think independently. "Banco" is supposed to bes rather Uase treatment of marriage and divorce. The entirb treatment is too flippant even in a comedy There is too much ultra thought in this comedy for me. To this alley weed of a comedy, Stuart Walker has given it a setting of gorgeous beauty. Never has Walker given us more beautiful stage pictures. It Is a pity to waste such beauty and such talented acting upon such a mere nothing of a comedy. The settings are Stuart Walker at his best. The play is just a worthless and foolish brain child of French parentage. la>t it be understood that T find fault with the play, not with the settings or the acting. The first act has an unusual situation, but it is mighty thinly spread out over twenty or more minutes. The second act has some clever playwriting while the third act tries so hard to just get over the cliff, but it can t make the grade. There is one splendid acting triumph of the whole play. It Is the work of L Estrange Millm.m as Baron Henri Delignieres. the second but silly second husband. It is a most foolish role, but Millman brings to it some mighty true artistry. Too bad to give real talent to such an undertaking. Tom Powers is cast as the gambling first husband of Charlotte. Count Alexander de Lussac (played by Powers) Is the sort of a man who doesn't have very much retpect for marriage laws and he certainly has no sincere knowledge of what a divorce really means. Spring Byington is cast as Charlotte. whose views on domestic life are not so domestic. This role is not suited to Miss Byington. For the life of me I can’t see that this role would be suited to any one. The work of the entire cast is much better than the comedy. Others In the cast include William Kirkland, Boyd Agin.. Kay Strozzi. Donald Macdonald and numerous others. “Banco” remains on view at the Murat all week. What I have said of "Banco" is ray own opinion. Kindlv have your own. -!- -i- -IConcerning a Fine Performance of a Dandy American Comedy Close observance of the work of the Grand Players at English's this week

V.H Ou./il To Feo!Finy in May! But You Can’t Be Happy When Every Day Brings Nagging Backache, and Finds You Tired, Weak and All Worn Out.

IS that constant throbbing backache keeping you miserable? Do you feel old and slow; tired out and discouraged? Are you so lacking in strength and energy, you ean’t join the good times of friends and family? Then you should be taking yourself in hand. May is too fine a month to he so miserable. You want to be well, and the first step to get well is to find out what is making you feel so badly. Have you given any thought to your kidneys? Your health, you know, depends largely upon your kidneys. Without them

“Use Doan’s,”' Say These Indianapolis Folks:

BERT EATON, 180 North Blackford Street. says: "I was down with kidney trouble and my bock ached so I couldn't straighten. Every time I stooped, sharp pains took me over my kidneys. The action of my kidneys was too often. I took different remedies, but nothing helped me until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They were what I needed and before long, my back was well and strong and my kidneys didn’t trouble me.”

in "Three Wise Fools" leads me to believe that these players have been ideally cast. The acting honors go to Don Merrifleld. Norman Wendell and Larry Sul livan as the "three wise fools " Claude Gillingwater made himself famous as Theodore Findley, the cranky old financier. To this exacting role of complete characterization, Merrifleld of the Grand Players gives a most satisfying performance. I believe t hat Merrifield this week is giving the most complete characterization yet seen on ! the stage of English's during the en I gagement of the Grand Players. Wendel as Judge Trumbull and I Sullivan as Dr. Grant aDo gave per j formances of such high merit that the entire tone of the comedy is lifted to a high plane. These three men j handled in masterful fashion both thn | comedy and the dramatic moments of the play. Indeed, here we have work which must increase ones respect for ! these players. It is at the close of the second act that Jean (diver proves her emotional ability. The test of emotional ability | is not the tearing up of scenery- or i yejls but it is the control of that outburst to make it both physical and mental. That is exactly what Miss Ollvei I accomplishes when she leaves the ! stage after th“ startling accusation made against. MUs Fairchild (the char acter impersonated by Miss Oliver) by the three old bachelors. It Is such work as this which rests tne best oi players and the way Miss Oliver takes advantage of lh opportunity gives added value to the comedy. When the orignal comedy acted this comedy here I went into detail eonI corning the play. It is not necessary

you could not live a single day. When the kidneys weaken and fail to properly filter the blood, the whole system is poisoned. Your back aches, you are. lame and stiff and suffer rheumatic pains and distress ing urinary irregularities; your head aches, you are dizzy, and feel tired, nervous. irritable and depressed. Don’t wait for some more serious kid ney trouble. Get back your health while you can. Delay may mean dropsy, gravel, or fatal Bright’s disease. Begin using Doan’s Kidney Pills today! Doan’B have helped thousands. They should help you. Ask your neighbor!

to repeat it here, but state that "Three Wise Fools” belongs to that class of entertainment which makes play-going a pleasure. I am going to give the cast in full as proof that special mention of all players is deserved: Hon. Janies Trumbull—Justice of the Federal Court Norman Wendel Mr. Theodore Findley, of Finle.v & Cos.. Bankers Don Merrifield Dr. Richard Gaunt, of the Rockefeller Institute Larry Sullivan Miss Fairchild Jean Oliver Mrs. Saunders Alice DeLane Gordon Schuyler Kddy Waller Benjamin Suratt James I.eßoy Poole Jack Martin Gray Alice Wilton John Crawshay. . . Georje Brady The one set used is done in nice taste. “Three Wise Fools” remains on view all week at English's. A series of three theater parties will be given this week by Sahara Grotto to raise funds to send its representatives to the supreme council meeting at Cleveland, Ohio, next month. -I- -!- -iWeaver Brothers Win at the Palace Did you ever hear a musical pitchfork? Weaver Brothers have one at the Palace this week. Added to this they have a musical insect powder "squirter,” musical saws and other queer instruments. Their stunt is a rube act with a ioal laugh.

Beautiful dances by the Messrs Ramons and Virginia Bacon are the high spots in the act. The costumes In one phase of the act are most charming and unusual. D.

COUNCIL KILLS ORDINANCE FOR CITY LAKE FUND Members Insist Property Owners Are Raising Prices; Investigations Started, Solid opposition by the city council to Mayor Shank’s proposed lake project was evident today. An ordinance asking an appropriation of $25,000 for surveys and borings on the site of the proposed lake failed to receive a single favorable vote when called before the council for passage Monday night. Councilman Lloyd D. Clay comb seemed to express the feeling of the council when he said, “the mayor and the park board have a great idea, but since the lake proposition has developed real estate prices in the neighborhood have skyrocketed and landowners seem to be trying to get everything and give nothing. I hope when a serious flood covers the district and property owners begin to demand flood prevention, this council or any other will flatly refuse it. I hope the council will defeat the measure on this proposition.' Councilman Ibvtinn W Buchanan

struck at the proposition from another angle. He declared such projects should not be undertaken when playgrounds of the city were being neglected. “I would take great pleasure in voting for an ordinance dis-annexing the whole territory,” he said. Mayor Shank has said the park board would go ahead with the proposition even if the council was unfavorable. It was pointed out that even if the territory were dis-annexed the board has authority over ground within five miles of the city limits. Session Is Lively A lively session ensued when property owners around McPherson Ave. and Thirtieth St. and Forty-Sixth St. and the Monon Railroad who were present were told changes in the zone law concerning those districts would not be voted on because the changes had not been recommended to the council by the city plan commission. Councilman Buchanan said he beli erred that the plan commission was continually passing the buck to the council. The delegation applauded and one member declared they were tired of the plan commission’s actions and believed the commission should be done away with. Councilman Ben H. Thompson, who recently introduced an ordinance for repeal of the zone law. Immediately presented a resolution saying it was rumored certain men In the employ of the plan commission w r ere using the city’s time and offices to do outside work, and asked a committee be appointed to investigate. The resolution passed and President ICing appointed Councilman Walter \V. Wise. Otto Ray. and Thompson.

Lawrence V. Sheridan, executive sec retary of the commission, has recently been employed as consultant for Anderson and Richmond in the prep aration of zone laws for those places. The delegation was promised that as soon as the changes were recommended a special session of the council would be called to consider them. An extension of time on Thompson's zone repeal ordinance was granted. An ordinance asking for an appropriation of $13,500 to pay the salaries of fifteen additional traffiemen in the police department was introduced. Ordinance to annex these districts were introduced: Territory bounded by Southern Ave., Meridian St., Gimber St. and Bluff Rd: bounded by Keystone. Walker and Churchman Aves. and Raymond St. Amendment Introduced Owners of dwelling houses in apartment house districts who desire to convert them into twro or more apartments or build sun or enclosed porches will be permitted to do so under the terms of a zone law amendment introduced by Thompson. Ordinances passed: Appropriating $8,554.16 for the purchase of two Mack trucks: requiring the Indianapolis Union Railway Company to keep a flagman at the intersection of their tracks with S. State Ave.; annexation of a district in which the Broad Ripple school is included and annexation of University Heights. Councilman Wise said he had heard city employes had been using city cans for personal use on Sundays and at night, and that the recreation department had bought a truck to take the “Me and Sarah" baseball team on i Sunday trips.
