Opposed to him is one man of courage and refinement who takes {he princess under his protection and fights a lone battle against the forces ,of greed and brutality. “Bavu” is sure to keep the spectator guessing from start to finish. The things that might happen don’t (happen, and the things one never expects come on the flash of the reel. Ftuart Patton, who made "Reputation.” was the director. In producing “Bavu” he engaged in the interesting experiment of rehearsing the players in the stage version for several weeks before beginning work on the picture. Program features will include Round Three’' of the new "Leather Pushers” series, starring Reginald Denny: the Fox news weekly. Virgil Moore’s Apollo Archestra and organ recitals by Lester Huff. -I- -I- -Iiom Mix Plays 1 /pad in “Stepping Fast” "Stepping Fast,” with Tom Mix in the stellar role, comes to Mister Smith’s for next week.

To shield him David assumes the guilt, but is saved from the consequences of his action by the timely confession of* a dance hall girl. His support includes Laura La Plant, Harold Goodwin, Eve Southern, Edith Yorke, Alfred Fisher and Harry Carter. “Ain't Love Awful?” a Century- comedy, also will be shown. On Thursday and for the rest of the week Owen Moore will be seen In "The Poor Simp,” his funniest farce.

Helene Keywan and Hilton Atherton in tiny costumes of rose and gold and a colonial suit with lace frills. The bird dances, by Bobby-Jo Vestal and Hilton Atherton, are clever fairy dances.

The morning star and evening star, danced by Betty Davenport and Helene Keywan in green and orange chiffon with filmy silver wings, is a clever duet, as is also the dance by older girls in ‘ the same scene, Mary Alice and Margaret McCarty, in white ballet costumes. The Greek dance is a group to portray the fairies weaving a wedding dress from the moonbeams. Characters are: Helen Derby, Margaret Adams, Marie Yoeman, June Fischer, Jane Kaylor, Betty Anne Noland and Patty Daugherty.

The Prince and Princess join them as they exit. The pianc accompaniments are played by Mrs. Robert Jenne. Miss Edith Fitzgerald and Miss Mary Ann Huggins.
Some months ago Charles Berkell trooped Into our home town with a number of players and the idea that popular prired stock would appeal to Indianapolis theatergoers. He even went so far as to Include war tax: jr> his price list Among those who trooped Into the city under the Berkell banner was one Ida Belle Arnold. Then things began to happen. Nearly four months has passed and this same Miss Arnold Is today the comedy favorita Jn our home town. Her success in building up a large personal following is the more remarkable because Miss Jean Oliver, leading woman, has swept everything in rront of her from a popularity standpoint. Miss Oliver plays leads. Miss Arnold does not. Miss Oliver is an “American Queer.,” as one patron of Eng lish’s told me. He also told me that Miss Arnold was the “funniest woman” on the stage today. His verdict was given after Miss Arnold had appeared dressed !n a horse-blanket, a bridal veil and boots in "Getting Gertie's Garter.” M- -|- -|- A woman can not be an “artistic accident” when she can convulse an audience in any part she tackles. She has done nothing better than her work in “The Gold Diggers” this week. She is cast as Topsy St. John, a little New York gold digger, who has dug her way into the heart of a plumber In St. Louis. In the hands of Miss Arnold, the character is not overdrawn. She has a whale of a comedy opportunity in the last act and she "walks away” with the show.
Miss Arnold is a good showman. She knows how to get certain effects out of specific material. Above all, she knows how- to read lines rapidly so that every word can be understood. The truth Is, Ida Belle Arnold is one of the most interesting players who came to town with the Grand Players. Her personal following is exceeded only by Miss Oliver. -I- ’I- -IIt is interesting to note what other cities are doing along the municipal theater idea. I have the following letter from one of authority in the Municipal Theater Association in St. Louis: “All records in the long history of Gustav Luder’s 'Prince of Pilsen,’ as well as all records of the St. Louis Municipal Theater, were broken by the seat sale of more than $35,000 for the week which ended last night (Saturday). "That is $7,000 more than the largest seat sale ever recorded for one week in Municipal Opera's five years. The next largest was $28,000 for Kalman’s ’Miss Springtime’ of last year. "St. Louis entertained the- International Rotary convention on Tuesday night—the Rotarians by vote having chosen ‘The Prince of Pilsen’ from this year's repertory for that purpose —and an audience of 12,000 saw the performance. From Tuesday until the close of the week with Sunday’s performance, there was not a vacant seat in the theater, and crowds unable to get in lined the fences surrounding. "Altogether 57,000 persons saw The Prince of Pilsen' during the week. Os that number there were at least 1,200 each night in the free section which Municipal Opera maintains that no St. Louisan may be deprived of the pleasure of the entertainment for lack of price. The use of the new sound amnlifler and tone equalizing device made it possible to hear every word and every note in all parts of the theater throughout the entire week, and audience and management were delighted with its result.” W.C.T.U.Notes j Marion County Executive will hold the regular monthly meeting Monday in Room F. at the Y.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, IN CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER
I simply must open up my heart to you tonight. I will just seal what I write and deposit it ih the secret drawer when I return home, but things turned out so strangely that I must tell someone. Mrs. Prescott w'as extremely angry at me for telling Jack that it was not necessary for ftim to come. She said so many nasty things and made so many more implications that I had all I could do to keep from leaving the house and her.
That Bradford woman started things by asking me if iny sister was engaged to Karl Whitney. I could not help blushing and I was very much put out. at -myself for being embarrassed when I said, “Why, Alice is nothing but a child and I’m sure Karl never thought of her as anything else.” Mrs. Prescott then spoke up and said, “He was once in love with you, was he not?” I tried to squelch her by vehemently denying it and Priscilla Bradford broke in with a nasty little laugh, saying, “Methinks the lady doth prqrtest too much.” I had to sit there and keep still, for after that I did not dare say anything and neither did I dare leave the room. Presently Miss Bradford renewed the attack from a different angle by asking Mrs. Prescott if she had noticed my magnificent pearls at the wedding. Again I protested that they were only a string of heads that Alice had given me. At this a most peculiar look passed between Miss Bradford and John’s mother. I am almost growing superstitious over those pearl beads. When I go home I think Ishall put them away somewhere and m t wear them for awhile. Or, perhaps, if they make me any more trouble, T will give them to Beatrice Grimshaw. I think I should have given them to her long before this if Alice had not made such a point of it that sometime possibly she would want them back. However, to save any more unpleasantness. I said that I would get the beads —they were up in my suitcase—and show them to Mrs. Prescott and Miss Bradford. When T brought them down both seemed surprised at their loveliness. In fact, I was rather surprised myself. Some way they seemed more

beautiful than ever in a stingy, sus-picion-filled atmosphere. It seemed to me that Priscilla Bradford’s fingers fairly stuck to them, although she did not try to put them around her neck. She let them run again and again through her fingers as she said, “Even an imitation string of pearls as fine as this must have been very expensive.” I answered coldly that I knew nothing about their cost, that I hadn’t questioned by sister on the subject. Miss Bradford said, "I would love a string like them if they were not too expensive.” Mrs. Prescott spoke up, “I would be glad to buy you a string just like them, Priscilla dear. You have been so nice to me. Leslie will write to her sister and find out where they were purchased. ” Just as she said this, there was a loud peal of the doorbell. We all started, as it was 9 o’clock, very late for a country call 1 learned afterward. Priscilla Bradford went to (he door and returned with a most portentous look on he face.
“It Is Mr. Karl Whitney to see Mrs. Leslie Prescott.”

Martha Lee Says Society Loses Sense of Life’s True Values!
“Unforgivable breaks of etiquette.” A girl, writing to me, uses that term regarding actions oi her family. She has made her own way in the world and has risen “above” ber original social environment. Now her family embarrasses her.
“Unforgivable breaks of etiquette.” The girl Is no worse than her friends and than many of the rest of us. We place a false value on immaterial things. Breaches of etiquette never can be “unforgivable.” They are not Important enough. 'Self-Made 1 Girl Dear Martha Lee: I believe this is us* a little out of the usual run of letters which have been appearing, yet I have pondered over my problem until I am becoming morbid. ... , I am the youngest of a large family, all of whom are poor and uneducated. By **he greatest effort I was able to complete my high school course, then, by working for board and room, to complete a course in business college. For the past three years have been a private secretary. By close observing, I saw my shortcomings and, with good environment, soon was able to mix socially without great embarrassment I cannot help but see the Ignorance of my family and, when taking friends to my home, am under a nervous strain, while, with burning fase, I see the unforgivable breaks of etiquette. - Do not think it is because of the financial conditions that I feel as I do, for that Is a thing of which I am not a. all ashamed. Just the other day a friend, unaware of my presence, was discussing with another the table manners displayed m mx home. Can t you understand the humiliation I have gone through, and is there nothing that I can do? I might have thought you a snob, had you not proved yourself otherwise by telling me that you do take your friends home, even though it embarrasses you. I’m glad- They 11 like you better for taking them. And those who are made of the real stuff’’ will not like you or your family the less because they do not know the fine social points. Self-made as you are, you must realize that what is in the heart,, not the way a man uses his knife and fork, is what counts.

It’s only a short way from church and we’re always so hungry—it will save you the bother of getting a big dinner. I eat at the Guaranty through the week and I like the way the place in managed. The food is most excellently prepared and la nicely served. 11l call up today and have a table reserved—then in just a few minutes after church we’ll be enjoying a good wholesome meal.
