JEAN OLIVER HAS BIGGEST PART OF SEASON NEXT WEEK Walker to Introduce lan Keith to Indianapolis Monday Night. INTEREST next week centers on the work of Miss lean Oliver in “Tiger Rose” at English's and on the first appearance of lan Keith with the Walker Company Monday night at the Murat in Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband.” .. “Tiger Rose" is the Belasco drama which helped make Lenore Clrich as famous as she is today. Miss Oliver will play the Ulrich role in the Grand Players’ production of the Belasco success. The Rialto next week will present a Miniature Minstrel by the members of the Jenks Musical Comedy Company. The mode feature will be Hazel Dawn in “Devotion.” I. ! i I I Keith, Yurka and Sonnies to Play Leading Roles The Stuart Walker Company presentation at the Murat beginning Monday night will be Dscar Wilde's comedy, “An Ideal Husoand.” The scenes are laid in the homes of the upperclass Britishers, the particular set Wilde took great delight satirizing. Blanche Yurka, wljo last week, made her first appearance of the season as a rugged plainswoman in Belasco’s “The Girl of the Golden West,” has an altogether different role and one that gives her an opportunity to display those finer attributes of acting that are required in the portrayal of a scheming and * unscrupulous woman who is a thief by instinct and a gambler for high political stakes. Any youthful indiscretion which she can prove! she makes use of to gain her ends. In her possession she has a letter whcih, if published, would ruin the public career of a rising member of the English House of Lords. Though unwilling to accept hush money she demands the influence of her victim in furthering a nefarious canal project which would net her unlimited wealth. Her scheme is about to be carried through when Viscount Goring, the role played by lan Keith, learns of the matter. How he circumvents her plottings, gets possession of the letter and eventually straightens out what at first seems a serious situation forms the story. George Somnes has the rol< of the husband and others in the cast include Teresa Dale. Albert Hackett, William Evarts, Jean Spumey. Eugene Powers, Bobbie Bridge, Kay Strozzi, Walter Poulter, Clark Hoover and Wayne Huff. -I- -I- -!- Minature Minstrels to Be at Rialto Next Week The Jenks Musical Comedy Company will present a Miniature Minstrel at the Rialto next week. It is really' a tabloid minstrel show with a singing and dancing chorus of ten. A number of new songs are announced. The featured players will be Slim Jenkins and Billy Clark, known as “the two Dixie boys.” The bill will include vaudeville features and Hazel Dawn in a movie. “Devotion.” Backed by years of stage and screen acting. Hazel Dawn was chosen to interpret the emotional leading feminine role in the Associated Producers production, “Devotion.” The career of Miss Dawn is as fascinating as thumbing the pages of your favorite novel. She was bon. In Ogden City. Utah, but she was educated In California and later spent some time in London educat’onal institutions. Shortly after completing her studies she returned to America, and within a brief space of time was creating a furore in musical comedy. In “The Ping Lady.” the well known fnuslcal comedy success of several years ago. she was a decided success. At the close of the company's tour she returned East and was starred in “The Debutante.” Some of the more notable screen plays In wnich she has appeared arc “The Heart of Jennifer,” “The Mas-

Concerning Out-of-Door Shakespeare

In WINKLING STARS formed the roof nt the theater under which ten scenes of Shakespeare were played Friday right in the beautiful sunken gardens of the D. M. Parry estate at Golden Hill by the Little Theatre Society. Heralds cn horseback announced th< beginning of the performance. A jester clowned in the audience he tween scenes. English lanterns flickered in the garden while the stars gleamed In tho heavens. All In all. it was an ideal night. Out-of-doors H Just the place to wltth ss tho hale any scene from "Romeo and Juliet,” and the closet scone from "Hamlet” is not out of place. The fen scenes were presented on a magnificent scale. The word amateur does*' not anplv here. All the scenes I witnessed were well and in telllgently read. The truth is last night will go down in the history or tne Little Theatre as one of the most beautiful nignts. I haven't the spare to go into detail concerning the scenes nor the players. I have previously done that in this department. The only hope I hf-.vl Is that the socie'y will continue to give us at least one summer night revel each year. The society has every reason to be justly’ proud or thift year's revel Music was furnished by the Claypool Trio. To have missed the revel Is to have passed up a delightful experience. (Reviewed by W.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

By WALTER D. HICKMAN A successful man whose writings are in great demand as movie mate ria. Is generally a very’ quiet and unassuming man in private life Such a man is Peter R Kyne, whose "Cappy Ricks” is known to all those who read as well as those who attend the theater. I found Kyne to be one of those quiet and practical men who doesn't make any “fuss.” ■!• -I- -IKyne was here for the race. He believes in combining pleasure and work. His impression of the great race has already been read by thousands all over the country. Kyne Is not a “hurried American.” While resting at the Lincoln and meeting friends he seemed to tne to be a man who is constantly alive, not an ideal dreamer, but one who has refused to allow the world to hurry him along. That personal characteristic prob ably accounts for the quiet and nat. ural atmosphere which we noticed in the movie version of his "Kindred of the Dust.” Physically. Kyne is a big man. His attire was comfortable. rot ultra fashionable. Kyne reminds me a good deal of Meredith Nicholson. Both ar marvelous Americans. The one noticeable dash of style to Kyne was his cane. If one Is a writer, he must have a cane Actors nowadays don't seem to be able to afford them. •!• -I- -!- I have just received from Paramount. the following announcement relative to Kyne: “Many scenes for Thomas Meigh an's Paramount picture, Homeward Bound.' which Jack Cunningham adapted from Peter B.
