Joe Needs a Needle to Sew Wild Oats; Checks Sent for Lincoln Square Name

By WALTER D. HICKMAN They “sew” wild oats this season. It's old-fashioned to sow ’em. That is what I learned from Joe Laurie, Jr., during the performance of “The Gingham Girl,” at the Murat yesterday. Joe remarks (i uri n g an attack show. He knows JOE LAURIE * his theater, and above all, he knows how and when to place his comedy so it will register best. In “The Gingham Girl,” Joe is cast as John Cousins of Crossville Corners, X. H., who goes to New York to cut himself a piece of cake, meaning that he is going to make dough. You see, I have to explain my own alleged humor to myself sometimes. Joe as t John gets all mixed up in New York. | That gives him time to wish for the girl he left in Crossville Corners. The girl in the case, Mary Thompson (Jane Richardson) also goes to New York. She succeeds by manufacturing Bluebird. cookies. So John is no faiUtre when he nnchors for life with Mary in the last act. Am sure you will like the fun handed out by Laurie. He is a real artist. He deserves his name in the big ligtfts. Miss Richardson sings

nicely and looks very sweet as the manufacturer of cookies. The outstanding feminine personality of the cast is Midgie Miller. She is just as cute as her name. She dances and sings with grace and ease.-' An easy favorite. Delightful. ‘Russell Mack, Rex Carter, Olive Reeves-Smith, Walter F. Jones and the others are well cast. Bertree Beaumont as Sonya Maison walks away with the honors at the beginning of the second scene in the last act. She ;s cast as a sort of Greenwich Village vampire who lives on art. As Joe Laurie says: "Whoever this art person is.” The song number I like best is “Plunk, Plunk, Plunk.” as done by Miss Miller and Russell Mack. It Is a cute little tune and splendidly done by them. Another little comedy gem is “Newlyweds.” as presented by Miss Miller and Mack. The title number. “The Gingham Girl,” is a light, tuneful little thing well sung by Miss Richardson. The chorus looks youthful and dances well. The settings are just as they should be and the orchestra is an orchestra this week. Good conducting. “The Gingham Girl is one of those refined, pretty, sweet little shows which deserves to be patronized. Have no fear about Gingham Girl” because Joe Laurie and the others are present. All’s well at the Murat this week. I- -I- IRenibuseh Mails Checks for Name of Lincoln Square Frank J.

Hoosier Art and Relics Need Central Museum

Sixty-four historical societies have been organized in Indiana during the past five years for the preserving of Hoosier art and historical relics. This progress in the movement for establishment of county museums, as reported today by Harlow Lindley, director of the Indiana historical commission, is only a forerunner in the commission’s plans. A hard nut to crack is the problem of where to place paintings and relics donated by zealous Hoosiers. For example, there is the newest addition, a beautiful painting by F. C. Yohn, an Indianapolis man now in New York with Scribner's Magazine, i Painting Donated Yohn, a history student, painted “The Fall of Fort Sackville,” shoving Colonel Hamilton of the British forces turning over the fort to George Rogers Clark. Yohn gave "it to the Indiana historical commission. The commission couldn’t give it to Herron Art Institute, for the Institute officials said, “We haven’t any room here.” So it adorns the bare walls of the

commission's office at 334 Statehouse. The Indiana War Memorial will take care of a great part of historical relics aiW paintings. And Yohn’s beautiful painting eventually will find a place in the memorial building, it is expected. Building Is Objective A building in Indianapolis to take care of these priceless objects is the hope of the historical commission. Leading historical sflfieties in Indiana are the Northern Indiana Historical Society at South Bend, the Ft. Wayne Historical Society and the Henry County Historical Society at Newcastle. These organizations have their own buildings. Usually they are given a room in the courthouse or elsewhere by the county commissioners.

UJ icISZHSZS2SHSES2S2SZa If you combined the curative properties of every known “ready-made” cough remedy, you probably could not get as much real curative power as there is in this simple home-made cough syrup, which is easily prepared in a few minutes. Get from any druggist ounces of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with syrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as desired. The result is a full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready-made for three times the money. Tastes pleasant and never spoils. This Pinex and Syrup preparation get* right at the cause of a cough and gives almost immediate relief. It loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irritated membranes so gen fly and easily that it is really astonishing. A day's use will usuallv overcome the ordinary cough and for* bronchitis, spasmodic croup and hoarseness, there is nothing better. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and has been used for generations to break severe coughs. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for “2V: ounces of Pinex” with full directions, and don’t accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded.
