MANUAL SPEAKER URGES SENIORS TO EMULATE LINCOLN Dr, W, L, Bryan of Indiana University Lauds Class — 262 Given Dilpomas, Two hundred and slxty-iwo young people today are graduates of Manual Training High School, following ex ercises Monday night at Cadle Tabernacle. In the graduation address by Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana University, they were urged to seek higher education, and also to seek to attain the faculty of adaptability. Dr. Bryan commended the students for their past work, and lauded them in their possibilities of future work. He cited several instances of men with few educationali a dvr', itages who had succeeded. Lincoln Cited “Perhaps the greatest example of all these is our beloved martyred President, Abraham Lincoln. It w r ould be well for each of you graduates to take the life of Lincoln as your example of character. And the reason that Lincoln succeeded as well as he did is because he accepted defeat as victory in that he learned where he was wrong. Lincoln was a great student. He never stopped his labors in studies. This is another element that led to Lincola's success.” The presentation of the diplomas was in the charge of E. U. Graff, representing the school board. Music was provided by the high school orchestra. Scholarships Awarded Six John Hampden Holliday, Jr.. Foundation scholarships were awarded to Cathem Blue, Thomas Fritxlen. John Klaiber, Francis Mulbarger, Paul Olsen, and Margaret Pearey.

“For two years I had suffered from disorders of the kidneys and bladder. Distressing pain in the back and hips, depression and extreme nervousness. Also a frequent desire to urinate, many nights every hour or so. I would have to arise, as the pressure in bladder region was unbearable. My ankles swelled and my skin became dry and harsh. After using Balmwort Tablets I noticed relief and continued taking, until now I feel wholly relieved of pain and suffering. I am glad to recommend Balmwort Tablets as a most reliable beneficial medicine.” Thus writes Mr. W. E. Goff, prominently connected with the D. L. & W. B. ft, Syracuse, N.

Husband Stealing Is Not Petit Larceny; ‘Rosie From Broad Ripple’ Arrives Here
By WALTER D. HICKMAN STEALING is not always stealing. No. The name is too common. That I learned while witnessing Samuel Shipman’s something called “Lawful Larceny.” A clever woman may steal another woman’s husband, but she is not a thief. It even isn’t petit larceny, but let a woman steal the jewels and money from the vampire, well, that Is sure grand larceny. That is the theme attempted by Shipman in "Lawful Larceny.” From a strictly critical standpoint “Lawful Larceny” doesn’t amount to very much, but as a box office magnet, I believe that it has some power. The main trouble with the theme Is that the principal characters are not real human beings, but just puppets moved about as the authoi desired. One of the principal companions of the woman blackmailer in this story is an ex-judge, who insists that there is good in the woman. Personally, I don’t care for ex-judges who tag along after women who blackmail. Although the theme may be substantial, yet there is some good theater in this play. This is made possible when a good wife decides to fight the woman who has stolen the love of her husband as well as his money and character. The good wife enters the gambling and blackmailing establishment as a social secretary. The good wife insists that her husband play the game and keep on paying the bills while making love to the female blackmailer. When the good wife gets through with this Lady Jessie James, the blackmailer hasn't enough ink left in an inkwell to write her name on a piece of paper. In other words, the lady blackmailer is not only a bankrupt but a ruined lady. “Lawful Larceny” is being presented here for the first time by the Grand Players at English’s. This may be your kind of play. It isn’t mine, although I admit it has some clever theater in it. Anyway, it is going to cause discussion. The intended atmosphere is ultra, very ultra, and that has not been arrived at from a production standpoint or an acting viewpoint. Jean Oliver gets everything out of the character of the good wife who fights the blackmailer. She handles her big scenes in a creditable manner, but Alice Mason fails as Miss Vivian Hepburn, the lady blackmailer. To make this play successfully interesting it must have two clever women. The Grand Players have such a player In Jean Oliver, but Alice Mason is miscast. I believe the proper handling of the Hepburn role would have made “Lawful Larceny” a sort of a melodramatic triumph for the Grand Players. Eddy Waller in a sort of a comedy trick role, has no trouble in winning the audience to his side The fact is. Waller nearly walks away with the show this week. The numerous others in the cast haven't much to do hut give atmosphere to the play. The main trouble with the play Is not the actors. hut the author. At English’s all week. -I- 'l* -I' Indianapolis Turns Out Its Own Hoosier Frolic Tou have heard of "Second Hand Rose” and her twin sister, “Broadway Rose.” Now there seems to be another in the family.

The Carlson Sisters dance while Ed Shrod'-r plays the piano. Grace and Eddie Bakes introduce a parody or two. Otis Mitchell sings songs in on individual way. “Gypsy Idyll” is an instrumental offering with several pretty dances. The Lumars, especially the woman, offer a balancing act of real merit.

with its beauty and its dramatic power. It is one romantic play that holds the smpathies of the audience with just the right mixture of humor and pathos and with just the proper dramatic climaxesStuart Walker Is presenting the play at the Murat again with Blanche Yurka again in the leading part. Miss Yurka plays her part beautifully. Her acting and that of lan Keith, in the part of John Carteret, the aged and obstinate uncle, were the outstanding features of the performance. Most of the others, particularly George Somnes In the part of Dr. Owen Harding, gave adequate presentation of their parts. The beautiful setting and the lighting effects, such as few but Stuart Walker can produce, give just the proper ethereal touch necessary to make the fanciful production complete. There Is room for improvement In Walker’s presentation of “Smilin’ Through.” but on the whole the presentation is good. If you have not seen “Smilin’ Through,” your dramatic education is incomplete and the situation should be remedied. If you have seen it, there is no use in telling you it is •worth seeing again. At the Murat all week. (By an Observer.) -I- -I- -IPalace Has Strong Opening Bill This Week We came from the Palace yesterday, laughing, after seeing an all-around bill, headed by Fitch’s Minstrels. These minstrels, four men and three women, have some good jokes and achieve some unusual harmony effects. It headed a list of extraordinary acts, nnd did so on Its merits. The “Old Black Joe” song has been often heard, but has here a different setting. | .*) Mack and V*lma.r carry off second honors, and put in strong competition for first place. This act has a big variety of original and clever lines. By this Is meant that, something entirely new In jokes and situations Is offered, and the act brings down the house. Sam Dayton overcame a big handicap yesterday but putting over a newly organized act after his partner, Olive Palmer, had been suddenly taken to the hospital. Sam’s quickly concocted jokes and his novel songs met -with applause from an audience which expected the Palmer part of the act to appear. McGrath and Deeds had an audience that responded highly to their quick chatter and comics. The clock song, as rendered by the Florence Reynolds Trio, was the high point of this musical act. The two men, ono playing the banjo and ukelele, and the other, who performed crediablyt on the violin, were big feacreditably on the violin, were big feathe applause. And Zeno, Moll and Carl started the bill with clever and quick gymnastic feats on the cross-bars and tampolin. The screen offering is not meant to be slighted, but comes In for Its share of comment. Kathryn McDonald is the feature of the feature photoplay, ’The Woman Conquers," a drama which gives the star a good opportunity to display some wonderful gowns and calls for her best acting ability. Other films are a news reel and an Aesop fable. At the Palace the first half of the week. (By an Observer.) -I- -I- -IRlalto Now Offering Vaudeville and Movies The Rialto has changed its policy of musical comedy presentations for this week and is offering five acts of vaudeville and a feature picture. The bill opens with George Wood, a blackface singer, who offers negro songs and plays a mouth organ. His best number is one about a dog in which a real dog is used to advantage. Cummings and Cote appear next with a line of patter and songs and dances. Bob and Gertrude. In silly kid and country girl make-up offer an entertaining little skit of novelty and song. The male member of the team introduces what, resembles an ear of corn, and plays a weird sort of tune on It
