The cast will include Teresa Dale. Albert Hackett. Eugene Powers. William Evarts. Walter Poulter. Jack King Davis.- Corbet Moris. L'Estrange Millman, Clark Hoover, Robert McGroarity, Wayne Huff and numerous others.
Grand Players to Treat Patrons With Great Comedy. • “Six Cylinder Love,” a comedy by "William A. McGuire, -will be the attraction of the Grand Players at English’s next week. This play is now running in Boston, after a long run In New York. It is too young a production to have been on the road, so it has never been seen in Indianapolis. Manager Berkell paid an unprecedented price for the rights to this play, as it has not been released for stock production, it is stated. The story centers around Gilbert Sterling, a young, newly-married man and his wife. Just when Gilbert was about to be chosen to head the company in which he is employed, his boss drops in at an inopportune moment, and finds him hitting the high spots. It was not a direct fault of Gilbert’s. The trouble was that he had bought a car, and was kept busy buying wine and meals for the spongers who had fastened themselves on him. Then the boss finds that Gilbert has embezzled several thousand dollars to settle a claim for damages after his wife had run down a man with the car. The young couple was compelled to leave their little home. an<k take a cheap flat. Gilbert started in at the bottom of the ladder, and started to climb up again. There is a satis factory ending to the story. Jean Oliver and Eddy Waller will have the chief roles. They will he supported by Norman Wendell, Idabelle Arnold, Alice Mason, Alice Lane, Larry Sullivan. James Le Roy. Jack Martin. Don Merrifield, Dixie Loftis. Harry Holmes, and William Hall. •i- -!■ -IColored Revue Re-opens Broadway Next Week When the curtain rises at the matinee performance at the Broadway

LITTLE THEATRE TO GIVE BEVEL AT GOLDEN HILP Ten Scenes From Shakespeare's Plays Scheduled for June 1. During the three hundred and odd years since William Shakespeare was on earth there have been perlodlo revivals of interest* in his works, recurring with almost the regularity of a comet’s return and attesting the undying vitality and infinite variety of his depictions of life. During this period almost everything has been done to his dramas in the way of change and adaptation, from Davenant’s recasting down through their use as basis for opera, as mediums for “star” actors, as frameworks for elaborate scenery and spectacle, sorry travesties of the simple and powerful originals. Only of late years and largely as educational ventures has any attempt been made to give these dramas with the simplicity and freedom from encumbering stage debris marking their original production. Inadequate as were Ben Greet’s efforts in this direction, their fidelity to the original text and economy of stage decoration looked toward a loyal giving of the plays as they were first presented which has not been without influence upon other Shakespearean productions, as witness soma| of the recent revivals on the York stage. An interesting example of this revival of Interest In Shakespeare and free use of the material of his dramas is afforded by the Little Theatre’s proposed revel to be held at Golden Hill on the night of June 1 when characteristic and familiar soenea from famous plays will be given, relying upon the common knowledge of the spectators to supply the missing links of plot and usual stage setting. Thus the "balcony” scene from "Romeo and Juliet" involves and presages the whole story of that Immortal love tragedy, while the trial scene of “The Merchant, of Venice,” with Shylock and Portia confronted, sums up the climaxes that artful and telling masterpiece of theatrical effect.
