Branch has informed American Legion officials of New York State that he does not propose to ‘‘set aside the statute” to comply with their request that the Carpentier-GiSbons match at Michigan City May 30 be stopped. Edward E. Spafford, New York commander, informed Branch Monday that his department is depending on a share of the receipts from the Carpentier-Tunney fight in New York in August.

A bom Becomes Part of Summer Life; Jean Oliver Wins in Emotional Role

By WALTER D. HICKMAN [ . 1 NEW factor in summer enterI yCk I tainment has been introduced ULmI in Indianapolis. 4m speaking of the Milton Aborn Opera Company. Address: B. F. Keith’s Theater. The introduction took place last night and it was more than an introduction. It was a handshake of | welcome. And that means a whole lot these days. Things were right. Aborn has picked not only a company large in numbers, but adequate in talent. That means much toward the successful producing of musical comedies and operas. There must be volume in tone, both personal and ensemble, and above all there must be numbers on the stage. The principals, those who sing and those who make you laugh while talking and singing, have been chosen with wise care. Am speaking just now of Loretta Sheridan in the role of Sylvia, Princess of Zilania; Cnarles Massenger as Prince Franz, Eleanor Edson as Liane, a cute milliner: Edith Bradford as Dame Paula of the “Wild Goose” laundry: Lee Daley as Mikel, a diplomat and a cut-up; Eric Titus as Lieut. Karl, and Joseph Monohan as Hon. Percy Slingsby. Numerous others are present in this satisfactory presentation of Victor Herbert's “Sweethearts.” There is. tuneful music present. Aborn inherited the score by right of purchase, but he has glorified it with a competent singing and acting cast. As the various bills are presented I am sure of this one thing: We are going to welcome a chancy to see and hear tuneful musical en-i tertainment. The comedy bits are unusually well done. Leading in this line of work are Lee Daley and Joseph Monohan Singing honors go to Loretta Sheridan, Charles Masenger' and Eleanor Edson. The dancing numbers are handled with ease. The chorus is adequate on volume when it comes to singing, and they dance as they should. From a scenic standpoint, a lot of wise judgment has been used in the two sets. Adequate. And that means a lot. I will introduce our new musical visitors by giving you the cast: Sylvia, Princess of Ziiania Loretta Sheridan Prince Franz. Heir Presumtive to the Throne Charles Maasangar Liane, a Milliner of Brum- Eleanor Edson Dame Paula, of the “Wild Geese” Laundry Edith Bradford Mikel Mikeloviz. Diplomat of Zilania Lee Daley Lieut.

Clalrette Denlce Brosseau Babette Phyllis Paige Lysotte Viola Wayne Toinette Christine Ellmin Nanette Virginia Baker This is anew venture in this city. I believe that it will be an enjoyable experience to get acquainted with this line of summer entertainment. Last night the company was welcomed here by John B. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and Rabbi Morris Feuerlicht. After the verbal remarks wore made Reynolds became a magician and produced C. Roltare Eggleston, manager of Keith’s. Eggleston said he had confidence in the company, and asked that a ohtince be given to introduce this kind of entertainment in Indianapolis. It looks like a sure go if Aborn maintains the standard of the opening bill. “Sweethearts” will be on view all week at Keith’s. •I- -I- -IGAY AND SMART FUN DISCOVERED AT MURAT The first opportunity to see “Polly Peferred,” a comedy in three acts by Guy Bolton, was given Indianapolis last night by the Murat Players. One of the duties of a stock company is to present bills to a community which has not received a visit when on tour. In doing this, a stock company not With Aborn \ v- & J ESHRBroSfIBk - GEORGE SHIELDS In the cast of “Sweethearts,” being presented ,at B. F. Keith’’' this week, is George Shields.

only broadens the experience of a theater goer who does not reside in an original producing center but Increases the value to a community. This company also presents for the first time as a member of the Murat Players Miss Marjorie Vonnegut 8 s Polly, a chorus girl who is out of a job. When actor folks, like newspaper people, are out of a job they are broke. There is always companionship present. In this case Bob Cooley (played by Percy Waram) Is present. £le gets busy and hits upon the idea that he should “sell” Polly. He starts out to make good his theory and decides to make Polly a movie star. That is the story of “Polly Preferred.” In “selling” Polly there are numerous peop,le present. The cast is as follows: Jimmie Dana Desboro Waiter .............. Donald Campbell Polly Marjorie Vonnegut Joe Rutherford .... .Richard Thornton Bob Cooley Percy Waram Howard Raymond James Kin ? Wllilam Waters . Hugh Poo Page W. E. Watte Stella Julia Cobb Helen ..' Genevieve Addleraan Florence Ester Kepple Owen Kennedy ... .Duncan Pen warden Pierre Jones Elliot Cabot Sophie Rutherford. . Jessamine Newcombe Harold Nathan Thomas Williams Morris Harold Vermilye Crawford Boswell Claude Kimball Kito W. E. Watts It is smart comedy and gives Miss Vonnegut a real chance when she is called upon to parade before prospective customers as a Southern girl. "Polly Preferred” is on view alk week at the Murat. (By Observer). -I- -I- -IJEAN OLIVER PROVES HER VALUE AS DRAMATIC ACTRESS Up to the time that the Berkell Players presented “The Man Who < ame Back” Miss Jean Oliver has een considered an actress best suited to comedy parts. At English’s this week Miss Oliver is giving ample proof that she Is a gifted dramatic woman. I realize the fact that “The Man Who Came Back” Is clever melodramatic theater. It is corking theater because it creates real dramatic background, but the atmosphere does not smother the characters. , I will agree with you that “The Man Who Came Back” will never receive a prize as a winning contribution to the American theater, but It does win when you look upon the stage from an entertainment stand point. This play is good theater and the real article at that. is in the third episode that Miss Oliver while under the Influence of the poppy pipe In a Chinese dive does some vivid and colorful work. To my way of thinking it is the best piece of character work yet

contributed by any player of the company since this organization has been with us. This scene does not permit a pleasing characterization on the part of Miss Oliver because she must put her character at the very brink of Hades. She submerges her personality and the result is a convincing piece of acting. Eddy Waller is cast as the man who went the limit but left enough manhood in him when the test came to actually come back. Melodrama, yes, and it is interesting theater. • The cast in full is as follows: Griggs Fred Jackson Mrs. Gaynes Mary Hill Thomas Potter ......... Herbert Dobbins Charles Reisling „....Alexander Campbell Henry Potter Eddy Waller Ethel Henrietta Floyd Helen Myrtle Stringer Captain Travelan Robert Fay Olive Idabelle Arnold Waiter Albert Leane Marcell Jean Oliver Captain Gallon ............ Larry Sullivan Gibson Hamilton Christy First Girl Margaret Blank Second Girl .. .. . . Grace West Sam Shew Sing Hamilton Christy Binkaie Wm. V. Hull Togo Albert Leane Girls. Men and Sailors in the Restaurant Scene. “The Man Who Came Back” gives Miss Oliver a big opportunity and she walks aWay with the show. At English’s all week. -I- -I- -IIT ISN’T A HOLLIDAY BUT THERE IS JOY HERE Rather think yeu ■will find much to enjoy at the Palace the first half of the weelt. The entire hill smacks of the big time. There is talent present on this bill, Nice booking. Those who seek something new in vaudeville musical comedy lines will find it in “China.” Ben marks is the chief fun maker and he is careful not to overdo his job. He is a comedian who recognizes that many wise showman have preceded him. He has looked about and learned a lesson. The result is a tuneful, neat, clever little comedy with scenes placed in China. Marks Is cast as the “greatest liar" in the world. A Chink goddess crashes to the dust when he starts to spin a yarn. The goddess marches back wh<#n Marks tells the

truth for once. Rather nice fun, well done. Kanazawa Four are Japs who are talented in foot balancing and juggling. One member of the troop shows how a Japanese would sing “American Blues.” Although this is the final act on the bill, they give no excuse for any one to leave before the final curtain. Jerry and Gretchen O’Meara have some polite fun in “Pebbles.” Have seen this act before. It registered yesterday when I saw this bijl. Elsie White goes in for the “papa and mamma” line of musical hunk. Gordon and Day open the bill with some nonsense on and off of a bicycle. The movie feature is “Bag and Bag and Baggage.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. -I- -I- -IVARIETY OF ENTERTAINMENT FOUND ON NEW BILL AT LYRIC The Rigolette Brothers are headlining an interesting hill at the Lyric this week. These boys are presenting the same act as before, which consists of a little bit of most everything. Among their accomplishments are listed magic, juggling, music and other things. They close with what might be called a two-man Italian band. Between their stunts the Swanson sisters ( sing and dance. Hester Bailey, an Indianapolis girl, is presenting a first-class dance act. She is assisted by two boys and two girls and they are all steppers. The act is nicely mounted and staged and plejtses easily. Murray and Maddox age seen in an act called “Chow.” It concerns a girl’s efforts to get her boy friend to buy dinner. The man goes on the theory that “Keep them hungry they come back; feed them and you fatten them for someone else. Here is a clever team in a funny act. Teka is, os is supposed to be, a mechanical contrivance with human accomplishments. Jack and Kitty Dcmaco open the bill with a good aerial act. Gus Elmore of Elmore and Esther gets laughs with an original character, that of an escaped circus wild man.

Louis WinseU gets more music from a bass viol than any one else I have ever seen. Schepp’s Minstrel Five ranA high among acts of its kind becEuise of the singing. Movies complete the bill. At the Lyric all week. (By Observer.)
