Lace, Sword and Cape Days Form BackGround for Sabatini’s Masterpiece
By WALTER D. HICKMAN England of the days when the English court was more brilliant than moral is pictured in Rafel Sabatinl’s latest. “Fortune’s Fool.” It Is a London without a soul that is pictured in the days of the Restoration. Cromwell had become a memory and a source of pride to some and a token of horror too others when our story starts. We had better get more acquainted with the author of this book. You will remember Sabatini as the author of “Scaramouche” which treated the days of the French revolution in Paris. “Fortune’s Fool” is anew publication of Houghton Mifflin Company and it is my opinion that this company has published a masterpiece. 'Here is an historical novel which does impress one as a classroom treatise or an essay, but rather a a fascinating tale of adventure centering around Colonel Holies, a soldier of fortune. Sabatini has chosen a period of English history which is rich in situations. The court of King Charles Stuart was not a kindergarten. Its inmates or those close to the king engaged In sports which were decidedly off color. I relished on the stage “The Beggars’ Opera” and I can honestly ray that I enjoyed every minute of “Fortune’s Fool.” The first character you meet is Martha Quinn, the keeper of Paul’s Head in Paul’s Yard, London. She is described as a "mother of six sturdy children of assorted paternity.” The author is not indelicate but is picturing an era in London of which the historians agree with Sabatini’s story. I believe that the author has painted a vivid historical background of forgotten morals in "Fortune’s Fool. In those days, men thought more of their stomachs than their souls. It is this devotion to historical detail that aids in giving natural color to “Fortune’s Fool.” The social conditions of Restoration London is used Physically Run-Down TSE DOOR of opportunity flings wide its portals only to * the man who is up and doing—who is filled with pep and punch—with rich, red blood tingling through his reins. Mountain size obstacles dwindle to ant hills and ambitions become accomplishments to these sort of men.

S. is the long established and time honored creator of red blood cells. You cannot expect to get very far up the ladder unless you are equipped with a body that is strong and vigorous. S. S. S. will start you on your way. Don’t allow the “Door of Opportunity” to be closed to you because you have not the stamina to withstand the gaff—because your nerve power is lacking. Build up your system! B. S. S. made of carefully select' ! ed and scientifically prepared and proportioned herbs and barks makes you fit! Get back that old time punch!

as a powerful background to a moving tale of romance and adventure. Colonel Holies was not a saint, as he belonged to London at a certain date. We see his attributes of strength as well as his many weaknesses. He is a flesh and blood characterization. He is a victim of political tyranny because he was a member of Cromwell’s army and the bill of Indemnity was only the original scrap of paper to many patriots. Os course, Colonel Holies was not comfortable in London. He became a hunted thing at the hands of the royalists. Os course, there is no romance -without a love story and Sabatini has painted a most unusual one. We first meet our heroine In a sort of a flashback like those used in the movies. In his flashback. Sanatinl, used words instead of shadows. It is then that we meet Nan. She is later known as Miss Farquar son, an actress. Sabatini leads his romance through the alleys as well as the court of England, only to give as the setting for the climax the great plague of London. Chapter after chapter the reader

Do not shudder because Sabaj tin! handles his subject much more i interestingly than I am doing. I believe Sabatini has given us a great historical novel In which certain historical characters are easily recognized. I am sure that each of the 304 pages will hold the Interest of i every adult mind. “Fortune’s Fool” belongs to that j better class of writing. He has an easy and eloquent style. Each word counts In his pictures. He does not shock like Dumas, but he commands attention by the very brilliancy of his theme and the manner of expressing it. Do not be afraid of “l&wtune’l Fool.” Storekeeper Is Arrested Bv Time* Bperim LEXINGTON, Ind., Aug. 29.—Alva Arbuckle, a storekeeper living six miles east of here, has been arrested on charge of receiving stolen goods.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Stage Season in Full Blast With Mind Plays
By JAMES W. DEAN NEW YORK, Aug. 29-„ —Musical shows and frothy comedies have been only spring beauties that presage the coming of violet drama. And now that these dramas, which seek to search out the whys and wherefores of human conduct, have come to town we may know that the stage season is in full bloom. * First of these psychological dramas Is Mary Roberts Rinehart’s “The Breaking Point.” The hero has forgotten his former self and is a respected young physician. He doesn’t know Just what he was ten years ago and he thinks he should find out before he marries his loved one. \ He returns to the ranch where he formerly lived. He is about to shoot a man when he immediately becomes his former self. Under the stress of his agitation he remembers that he killed a man at that very spot. Then he forgets everything that he has done in the intervening years. He returns to the community where he had been a physician., Experiencing another moment of great tension he remembers what had occured in the later years. J Thus asphasla and amnesia are both dispelled. Mrs. Rinehart Is the wife of a physician. Perhaps she was pathologically sound in her treatment of the amnesia theme, hut something was lost in transferring it to the stage. With one or two exceptions this play presents the worst acting and the worst stage direction of the new season. A serious play with hardly a moment of Intentional comedy, it is one of the biggest laughing shows in town. Another Promising Writer Found In New Play Martin Flavin's “Children of the Moon” meets with much better treatment. This deals with the descendants of a moon-struck old codger. The theory is that the moon possesses such fascination for certain types that their minds become abnormel during certain phases of the moon. This theory is centuries old; consider the derivation of the word "lunatic.” There is also the suggestion that persons subject to such hereditary traits will lead normal lives unless their weakness Is suggested to them. A concrete case is made with a young girl whose father committed suicide during full moon and whoso brother rode to his death when he rushed straight for the full moon in his airplane. A mother so In love with her daughter that she would prevent her marriage tells the girl that she is subject to the same lunacy. The suggestion is fully effective in bringing about the most dramatic second act since "Rain.” Here is a play full of the glamour of the stage. It has a kindling power over the audience. Yet something goes wrong at the last minute to rob it of greatness. I believe it Is Its Inconclusive ending. The New Season Will Develop New Talent Last season was notable for the number of excellent young actresses
brought to the stage and for the dearth of capable young actors. This season promises to be a repetition. Florence Johns, heroine of ‘“Children of the Moon,” is a dramatic actress only a rung or two beneath Jeanne Eagles and Helen Menken. I never heard of her before seeing her In this Play. Beatrice Terry, as the selfish mother In the. same piece. Is also an actress of much talent. Flora Finch enjoys the greatest personal triumph of any player who has come to Broadway in years. You surely remember her in the old John Bunny screen comics. Flora walks on In "'We've Got to Have Money,” anew comedy by Edward Laska. The house breaks In a tumult. The sljow Is stopped. Later she has a scene with several lines to say: I doubt if any one in the audience hears them. There Is such an uproar that her voice is drowned. I have an idea that Flora Finch In a one-part comedy without ten words to say would prove one of the biggest attractions of the year. Flora knows make-up and she knows pantomime. She learned those tlJngs In movie studios. -I- -1- -I* On View in Local Theaters Wednesday The attractions on view in Indianapolis today include: “The Dover Road,” at the Murat; "Dancing Around,” at the Capitol; Kara and movies, at the Ohio; Howe and Fey, at the Lyric; “Toytown Topics," at the Palace; “Human Wreckage," at tho Apollo; “Dulcy,” at the Circle; “The Birth of a Nation," at the Rialto; “The Wise Fools,” at Mister Smith’s, and “The Desert Rider.” at the Isis.
