Walker to Bring “Time” to Murat Before Taking It Into Chicago for a Run

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. S" TUART WALKER is still loyal to Indianapolis. When he discovered that he had found a valuable comedy in "Time,” by Arthur Henry, a newspaper man, Walker decided that only two cities should 5 see it before taking it into Chicago for a run. "Time” will open a week's engagement at the Murat on next Monday night wtih the cast which will play it in Chicago. The cast includes three of Walker’s regular players—Lucile Nikolas, William Kirkland and William Evarts. For this comedy Walker has engaged Dorothy Francis, who at one time had the chief role in “The Merry Widow;” A. H. Van Buren. a leading man, who has spent most of his time playing on Broadway; Marie Curtis, a woman well known on the stage for her character work, and others. "Time” was presented for the first time on any stage in Cincinnati, Ohio, a' the Cox Theater. I journeyed to that city last Saturday night to take a look at "Time.” I was impressed with one big fact—the Cox Theater was packed, even standing room was used on Saturday night. That is important to ncte because that was the eighth performance for this play at the Cox. I noticed that the comedy situations trow. Some of the laughs started out mildly only to increase in volume when the audience realized that a keen remark had been put over. As with all new plays, changes are leing made. Margaret Mo ver, who was one of Walker's favorities here several seasons ago at the Murat was in the cast when I saw "Time” at the Cox. She will not be either here or in Chicago as she left for New fork to begin her winter's work. Am not going into detail concerning "Time” as I wish to consider it m full following the opening here. It deals with marriage, divorce and the eternal triangle. The theme is handled in a ne\v way. The play is crowded full of real comedy situations. "Time” to my way of thinking is an important event both from the viewpoint of the treatment of the theme as well as of stage treatment.

Just Waiting to Kill Man, Virginian Tells Officer

Uncle Sam's postofflee inspectors run into many interesting experiences , in the course of their duty, but it is | net often that they meet anything as unusual as did Walter Lytle several years ago. Lytle told the story in the office of Homer Elliott, United States district attorney, today. “One morning I was sitting in my room in a hotel in a little West Virginia town,” Lytle said, "when rangy, gcod-natured native came in the open door. " ‘May I ask a slight favor?' he asked. "I answered in the affirmative and he said he would like to look out my window for a few minutes. I went on with my work and when I looked up he was sitting in the window with a big six-shooter in his hand, peering anxiously down the street. Just Shoot a Man “Say, friend, what are you going to do?” I asked him. * ‘l’m going to shoot my brother-in-law,* he replied in the most matter-cf-fact tone. Then becoming talkative, he continued in a mito* voice, never for one minute taking his eyes off the street: “‘I am county superintendent of schools and this brother-in-law is postmaster. We got in a business deal and he didn't treat me just right, so I just came up here to shoot him. He ought to be along in a minute or two. "I did some quick thinking. Then said: “Now I did you a favor. Maybe you will do me one. That’s a good looking gun you got there. I am a Government man and have to go down the creek outside of town and arrest a man. I forgot my gun. Suppose you loan me yours and I will be back in an hour.” No Hurry to Kill Him " ‘Sure. I can kill him a little later just as well as now. I certainly appreciate your kindness in letting me use this foom, and I’ll just wait here until you get back,’ he said, handing me the gun. “I stampeded down in the lobby, hunted up some of the school superintendent's friends and sent them up to see him. Meantime, I took the gun and walked down the street. "When I came back a little later the man was waiting for me In the lobby. “ ‘Some of my friends think I ought

New Leading Man at Murat Monday Night

A. H. VAN BUREN

On Monday night at the Murat, Stuart Walker will introduce a new leading man in t#r person of A. H. Van Buren. He will play the leading role in "Time.” Last season he played the chief role in "It Is the Law” during the New York run of that play. Stuart Walker has done wonders with the stage sets. You will have 'a chance to hear Miss Francis sing, as she has a hit in “Sunset,” a song which fits into the theme of the play. Lucile Nikolas does some wonderful work in "Time.” That is good news because she has been advancing ahead to fame for several seasons. Monday night should be a big night at the Murat. -!• -!- -!- Comedy Playlet Heads New Bill at Palace "Right or Wrong” is the title of a one act play by Samuel Shipman
