HICKMAN J "| AREFUL study of the local leI gitimate field for traveling road i I shows results in the conviction on part of show managers that In qianapolis is a “bad spot.” That is, from a boxofflee standpoint. It is a fact that Lenore Ulric in “Kiki" did only fair business. Earl Carroll's Vanities got a terrible wallop from a boxofflee standpoint. “The Lady in Ermine” nearly starved to death as did “The Highwayman.” "Little Nellie Kelly” deserved better business than it received. Duse had the right to expect a much larger house than she drew and we didn t turn out in sufficient numbers to fill the Murat; for the last Cincinnati Symphony con-; certs. From a boxofflee draw the Lhevinnes were failures, but their program was a triumph. Joison and The Music Box Revue” drew good business. The Follies fell way under what they “demanded.” but I see no cause for kicking because of the scale they charged. Mitzi drew good houses but not capacity. “Whisper.ng Wires” and "The Cat and Canary” only fair from a boxofflee standpoint. “The Fool' failed utterly to live up to its high gross in other cities. "Blossom Time" on both visits did marvelous business. lam not stating these facts in the light of fault finding, but I do contend chat if business doesn't get better we are not going to get the real shows. I -I- ILueile Xickolas. a woman of genuine ability and a former member of Stuart Walker’s company here, has now come into her own on Broadway. She has made a whale of a hit in “Across the Street.” She has been showered with applause and praise in the papers. At last she has come into her own. The play looks like a big hit. I- -I- -IThe Municipal Players. I am in formed, will open their season on the first Monday in June. There will be two companies, one at Brookslde Park and the other at Garfield Park. G. Carleton Guy, the director, plans to put on a number of plays by Indiana authors. The opening bill will be "The Road to Happiness.” a vehicle formerly used by William Hodges.

PERIL OF NARCOTICS BY CAPT . RICHMOND P. HOBSON VIII —Applying the Remedy
SHE International Narcotic Education Association, of which I am president, is taking no part |in the making or enforcing of laws i or in the salvage of addicts. It undertakes to get the truth about narcotic drugs through the best channels of research and experimentation. It has organized research activities in Europe, America and Asia, and now has the cooperation of many universities on these continents. It has this truth prepared by the best educational experts. Its bulletins are intended to be used by teachers in schools, and to be read in homes and by* the public at large. The association takes the truth about narcotics to society through all available agencies, particularly utilizing existing educational systems* Its current program is to reach, through the authorities a'nd teachers, with instruction about the peril of narcotics, the 24,000.000 young people fa the schools and colleges of America, and to place bulletins, as far as practicable, in all the homes of the land. For the safety of the home, the Nation. the race, the truth about narcotics must become known. ■iTe shall know the truth and the (ruth shall make you free.” There is at least one way in which law- can be of immediate and vital value in the campaign in which the International Narcotic Education Association has taken the lead.

Aside from offering their act Keit'i s the orchestra will also furnish the dance music for the Actor's Ball which will be held Thursday night April 24 at the Athenaeum.
