Rounding Round Theaters With

WALTER I). HICKMAN ! ITII three summer stock com|\Jy I panics—two dramatic and one 11 1 musical —in Indianapolis at the present time, it is safe to assume that we are unusually well provided for during the next several months. “Abie’s Irish Rose” will open next month at the Capitol. This play is and has ieen breaking records for length of runs in other cities. Never has competition been so keen as it is right now. A stock company prospers only as the personality of the actors become a part of a community. In this the Berkell Players at English’s has the advantage. This company opened “all set,” as we were acquainted with the players. Eddy Waller has used real ability in selecting his plays so far. The Murat Players, are aji new to us, with the exception of Marjorie Vonnegut. From a popular standpoint, a mistake was made in openng the Murat season with a costume play, although it proved to those who attended the first week that an unusually competent cast had been assembled. The Aborn Company is a | new tenant at Keith's and we are now witnessing our first season of summer musical stock at Keith’s. One should not be confused regarding the bills to be presented by Aborn. Grand opera is not included, but popular musical comedies will be offered. We have three stock I companies which deserve local supj port. Managers should study care- | fully what sort of play summer Indianapolis fqlk most desire. When j it is all said and done, the verdict j on the success or failure of the sum- ' mer season will be written by Indij anapolis audiences. Stock, to be successful, must l>e popular. •I- I- IHave been asked to submit a list of “worth-while” entertainment now current in Chicago. Here is what I would see if I journeyed to that city: Guy Bates Post in “The Climax” at the Oort; D. W. Griffith's “America," movie, at the Auditorium: “The Ten Commandments,” movie, at the Woods; "Abie's Irish Rose” at the Studebaker and Lucille La Verne in “Sun Up” at the La Salle.
