Two Really Big Figures of Stage

Concerning ‘Cinderella’

When musical beauty has been brought into one's experience, then something has been accomplished. That is just what the Matinee Musicale did Friday afternoon by offering "Cinderella” in English. It was an Helen W'arrum Chappell directed production and with Mrs. Chappell as Cinderella. The Masonic Temple was nearly filled In spite of the crazy weather. It was delightfully and intelligently presented. The musical score was beautifully played. I will not men-i tion the individual musicians, but will state that the result was perfectly satisfying. I will give the cast of principals in full as fojlows: Cinderella Helen War Tum Chappell Prince Charminj . Mr. 9. E. Fenstermaker Fairy Godmother.. Mildred Daufrherly Kmrr Mme. De La HalUere. . Miae Norma Mueller Naomt Mtaa Mary Ann Porter Dorothea Mrs. C. C. Carson The six sprites were Miss Myrtle Freeman. Miss Ruby Steinruck. Mrs Don Webster. Miss Raffaela Montand. Miss Grace Rush and Miss Ruth Beals. The voice# off stage: Miss Lucille Rowe,

Mrs. L. O. Felton and Miss Haael Gutknecht. Ballet: Betty Ann Noland. Helene Keywan. Dorothy Game*. Betty Davenport. Catherine Jenne and Jessie Fisher. Mrs. Chappell and the Matinee Musicals are to be congratulated on giving us a musical fairyland. (Reviewed by W. D. H.) Dowling Engaged to Play Role Marshall Nellan has engaged Joseph J.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

OIL EXPOSE SEEN AS ‘RED’ ATTACK ON GHENT New York Editor Declares Communist Rule Is Object, That the Teapot Dome oil scandal is an attempt of communists to overthrow the United States Government by causing a distrust in public officials was declared Thursday night by Fred R. Marvin, associate editor of the New York Commercial, at a banquet of the thirteenth annual convention of the local branch of the National Metal Trades Association, at the ClaypooL "There is in this country a large, well-organized, skillfully managed and sufficiently financed movement that has for its purpose the overthrow of the United States Government,” said Marvin. “This overhhrow will be by bloody revolution should that become necessary, In order that there may be erected on the ruins a purely communistic for mos business. "This would hike from the individual all hope, aspiration, efficency and initiative, would abolish personal property rights and home surroundings, would crush in the human heart every spark of religious sentiments; would even abandon the family relations." This organization functions as the Communist Internationale with headquarters in Moscow, Russia, Marvin asserted. About 200 organizations in this country are endeavoring to carry out the communistic teachings, he said. Other speakers were W. W. Coleman of Milwaukee. Wis., president of the National Metal Trades Association, and L. W„ Fisher of Chicago, national secretary. Officers of the local branch are Warren D. Oakee. president; W. D. Hamers tadt, vice president; L. M Walnwright, treasurer. Members of the executive committee: Alfred W. Thompson, U. G. Leedy and O. B. Ilea. Eleventh district representatives ■ are R. P. Johnson, Munde, chairman: D. O. Skillen, Muncie; D. E. Ross, Lafayette; John T. WWilkln, Connersville, and W. Hathaway Simmons, Indianapolis.

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS

* VVitb WALTER D. HICKMAN Ar——nj CLOSE observer of the theater realizes that he must more and .J more rely upon his own standards of criticism. There is no unanimous verdict on "The Follies” that Ziegfeld sent to us this week. Many have insisted that his “road” Follies is minus many big names that appeared during the lengthy Broadway run. That 1b true, but we must remember in all fairness that Ziegfeld often changes his principals during I the New York run. He is doing it with I liis current Follies on Broadway. ZiegI feld always has a beautiful show. The edition we have is shy on comedy, many people have pointed out to me. That was my attitude in my review but I do not expect comedy in “The Follies.” I have my own standard regarding this institution of the stage j and I let well enough alone, j Many have told me they like the last “Music Box Revue" better than this “Follies.” "The Muslo Box” was strong on comedy and had many beautiful scenes. The “box" also has many big names that were on the prografn here. Let everybody have their own taste regarding revues. I still think that “The Follies” is the most beautiful institution on the stage. -I- -I- -IGeorge Somnes has returned to the city after a coast to coast tour with the Walker Players. He states that he will direct the next Little Theatre play and will probably rest here during the summer. -I- I- -I- y There are only a few acts on the vaudeville stage which should be repeated, that Is doubling back on the next season after appearing here during the preceding season. There has been too much repeating at the local Keith house this season, I am told. I believe that we get some new acts late In our season which must repeat during the next season so as to give j the act a complete season. It costs 1 a bunch of money to produce some j acts, but there Is no excuse for re- , peating a “nut act.” And here is another side of the question: Wilkie Bard, a great English character cqmedlan, was not hardly a fair draw at Keith's on his first visit here. And yet well established variety names in acts known here have drawn big business. Answer the question yourself. Griffith Is Honored by Minute Men For his work in making “America,” D. W. Griffith has been made an honorary member of The Minute Men of Lexington, the oldest military organization in this country. At the first showing of the film In Boston the Minute Men were present to weigh the historical accuracy and dramatic truth of the pictured event.
