A prowler who attempted to enter the home of Mrs. Jane Sommers, 3830 N. Capitol Ave., travels in style, detectives said. The prowler, a tall, slender man wearing a straw hat and dressed well, drove his coupe around the neighborhood some time before stopping at Mrs. Sommers’ home. He attempted to force open a screen and was cutting the wire when Mrs. Sommers screamed. He ran out through the rear yard and. getting into the coupe, disappeared before Sergeant Wilkerson and the emergency squad arrived.

Aldrich Bowker by Turning Pirate Achieves Greatest Triumph of Career

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. PIRATES! The boldest pirate of the whole bunch is Aldrich Bowker. Bowker tosses off his evening clothes and becomes a pirate bold in “Captain Applejack.” at the Murat this week. Walker is observing his one hundredth week at the Murat by presenting one of the brightest and most origtna 1 comedies seen on the stage in many years. In "Captain Applejack,” Stuart Walker has given Indianapolis the brightest gem of hi*' many seasons here. It is really a great comedy. Fiom a cast standpoint as well as scenic, Walker has given Indianapolis no finer production. You are going to hear a whole lot this week of Bowker’s triumph as well as Walker’s magnificent production. We who love the theater and the better things in it have a duty to perform this week. To have worth while things on the stage, they must be supported. I am sure the duty this week will be a pleasant one. “Captain Applejack” -Rill be a milestone in Walker’s career which will be easy to remember. It Is a delicious comedy and as deliciously acted. It is a mixture of comedy, rare comedy, romance, adventure and mystery. Bowker as Captain Applejolin Gives a Rare Characterization Bowker has been for years one of the most popular players of the Walker company. He has won that position by his sincere work in every role. He always seems to give his best. Nothing is too good for his audience. That is Bowker’s standard. In the first act he is just a plain but wealthy citizen who longs for adventuri. He is going to sell his ancestral home because he was living in a rut. He craves adventure and on a stormy night adventure arrived by the ton. Four notorious crooks walk right Into his study. On top of that excitement anew courage comes over him and he utters strange remarks, the things that his ancestor, a pirate, uttered on a boat years ago. He finds adventure In his own home as well as in his dreams. It is in the second and third acts Bowker proves he is a big artist. As the pirate in his dreams, Bowker excells himself. Nothing finer has been done by any member of the Walker company since I have been covering the theater here. I am measuring my wordsMany Favorites Appear in 100th Week Cast Blanche Yurke makes a splendid notorious woman. She uses all the

BUCK-DRAUGHT AFTER DINNER Shoemaker Tells How He Found Relief From Painful Spells of Stomach Trouble, and Grew Stronger. Tryon, N. C.—" About five years ago I had a very serious stomach ; trouble.” says Mr. T. G. Tucker, of I this town. “I had a number of these > spells. I would get cold and just j shake, and had very severe pains in : my chest. “I suffered a great deal. I kept ! using different remedies and did not I get results. I would suffer till I ; would break out in cold perspiration. ! I knew something must he done. j "I had taken Black-Draught, but I just an occasional dose for constipa- ! tion. I decided it might do me good I in these spells. I took a dose after ! meals, and, sure enough, it did. “It helped me so much until now I j keep it in the house all the time. I j am a shoemaker, and when I have my i dinner sent to my shop I have a ! package of Black-Draught where I I can take it afterwards. It is a splendid medicine. I am gfad to praise it for the suffering it saved me. "I _ have used Black-Draught five years, and these spells grew less frequent after a couple of doses. Now I am much stronger than I have been in years, due to Black-Draught.” Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely vegetable, pleasant to take, and acts in a. prompt and natural way. So many thousands of persons have been benefited by the use of BlackDraught, you should have no hesitancy in trying this valuable, old, well-established remedy, for many liver and stomach disorders.

Plays Butler Role in “Gertie” Farce

mr s'

LARRY SULLIVAN In “Getting Gertie's Garter,” at English’s this week. Sullivan h%s the role of a butler. It sure Is not a hot weather part, as Sullivan is called upon to carry a heavy trunk up and down stairs nearly a dozen times. *

The cast is so good that I am giving it in full as follows: Lush Robert McGroarty Poppy Faire Jean Spurney Mrs. Agatha Whatcombe Judith Lowry Ambrose Applejohn Aldrich Bowker Anna Valeska Blanche Yurka Mrs. Pengard Kay Strozzt Horace Pengard Boyd Agin Ivan Borolsky George Somnes Palmer Kathleen Sinclair Dennet Walter Poulter Johnny Jason Albert Hackett Frederick Fourd designed the costumes. Perfect work. The scenes were designed by Fourd and painted hy Charles Elrod. Everything is a work of splendid beauty. There is a great evening waiting for every visitor to the Murat this week. No one should miss this BowkerWalker triumph. “Captain Applejack” remains on view at the Murat all week. -I- -I- -IAnother Wearing Apparel Drama Holds Forth at English’s. “Getting “Gertie’s Garter” is just what the title states. Gertie at one time possessed a garter on which was the picture of the gentleman who was so “kind” to present, it. Gertie marries anothen man and promptly decides that the garter in question is not appropriate. Husband might get jealous and so for three senseless acts. Gertie, the garter, the giver and everybody become sadly confused. From a strict play standpoint, “Getting Gertie's Garter” does not possess one minute of common sense comedy. It is a mad house. I feel sorry for capable men and women of the stage who are called upon to act so silly. "Getting Gertie’s Garter” belongs to the brainless drama. There are some hysterical laughs, that I admit. Some of the situations are rather broad, but nothing actually immoral is

staged, but everybody In the play thinks the other person is “all wrong.” One woman character Is called upon to remove her clothes (this Is done in private), but she appears later wrapped in a horse blanket and big boots. Oh, this “drama” Is educational. Asa play, it Is mighty poor stuff, but from a box office standpoint—well, that is different. I would not be a bit surprised that big business will be the rule at English’s this week. If there Is agiy acting opportunities in this play ofily two characters have a chance. Ida Belle Arnold as Pattie Walrick, who wants to be compromised and in so doing wears only a horse blanket and rubber walks away with the third act. Shx does excellent work. Larry Sullivan is splendid as the hysterical butler. Both do fine work. Others in the cast who open and slam doors, hide in a barn and chase the garter are James Leßoy, Alice De Lane, Jean Oliver (she owns the garter), Norman Wendel, Eddy "Waller, Alice Mason and Don Merrifield. “Getting Gertie’s Garter” is this week’s offering at English’s. -I- -I- -!- Stan Stanley and Assistants Use Both the Stage and Aisles Although Stan Stanley carries no scenery for his act, yet he uses an entire stage and nearly half of the auditorium of the Palace. Stanley first appears wearing a badge. He announces that he is going to search the hip pockets of all gentlemen in the audience. About that time a man gets nervous in the audience and attempts to leave. It develops that'be is not trying to hide a quart, but that he has "fudge on the kitchen stove and is afraid that it will bum” After he parts with his spirits, a woman walks down the aisle and tells Horace (he who attempted to leave the theater) that she has been waiting on the corner for him for two hours. Then the troubles of Horace actually begin. In due time, the “plants” all land

upon the stage. It’s the same act that Stanley has been identified with for some timeHarry Kahne bills himself as “history’s greatest mentalist.” It Is a concentration act, as he does five separate things at the same time. Somehow or other, I feel these acts belong in the classrooms instead of on the stage. m Sophie Kassmir, with the aid of a pianist, presents impressions of Galli Cure! and other opera singers. This act has class. Nicely mounted and presented. | One of the women of the team of Muriel Morgan and Louise Bender gives her impression of Galli Curd. There are some high noted women at the Palace these days. / Tan Arakis is a.Japanese foot balancing act. Well done. Jay and Wesson engage in conversation and song. The movie feature is Hope Hampton in “Light in the Dark.” At the Palace” Tuesday and Wednesday. v -I- -I- -IIt's Circus Day Every Day Tills Week at the Lyric * George Hanneford and the famous Hanneford are present at the Lyric this week. This makes it circus day every day this week at the Lyric. The more that I see of this circus riding act the more convinced I am of their true entertaining worth. George Hanneford has stepped into the Bhoes of the famous "Poodles” and is doing a great job of entertaining. The whole act breathes class. The women appear in evening attire, and it la only George who clowns up the atmosphere. The horses are beautiful and well trained. This act always makes me really happy, as we have a combination of splendid riding and the clowning of an expert. The children will love

this act and we grownups will have just as good a time as the children. Here is a real act and one which dignifies vaudeville. The Hanneford3 are always welcome. There ia another act on the bill at the Lyric which has real merit. I am speaking of Vardon and Perry, who have an original way in presenting instrumental\music, songs and dance. They,work quietly and with sure effect. ' They are real showmen. Their satire on “The Chicken Chasers’ Ball” la a rare bit of fooling. Their rube and Arkansaw traveler number is a gem. Splendid. The Santiago Trio open as a dancing act, but one of the men turns out to be a good contortionist and the woman a strong woman. There is a good deal of variety to this act. Ross and Roma open rather mildly, but when they get into their accentrlc dancing the going Is easy. Morin Sisters are dancers. They have the assistance of a male pianist. Steve Green indulges in attacks upon the Volstead law; the attack is confined to words- Tom and Abbie Leon present a juggling act, which opens the show. At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -IMusical Comedy Maids Return to-the Rialto The Jenks Musical-Maids are back at the Rialto for this week with a musical farce offering called “Oh, What a Night.” This offering is composed mostly of bits, with the chorus members doing most of the work. Two of the chorus girls do a sister act like those which have become so familiar to theater goers during the last year. The warm weather had no apparent effect on the chorus girls, for their work seemed peppier than usual. To young men in a patter and song act have been added to the entertainment. Their material ap-

peared to be specially written for them and their work showed considerable experience. The program Includes Norma Talmadge in “The Voice From the Minaret," with Eugene O’Brien in the cast. (By the Observer.) -I- -I- -IThe movies on view today include: “Poor Men’s Wives,” at the Apollo; “Penrod and Sam,” at the Circle; “The Girl of the Golden West,”'at Mister Smith’s; “A Front Page Story,’* at the Ohio and “The Bishop of the Ozarks,” at the Isis.
