Signalizing the elevation of Baby Peggy to stardom, ‘‘The Darling of New York,” her first full length dramatic production, will be shown next week at the Apollo. It is unique in more ways than one, but essentially so for the reason that there is no outstanding “love interest” in the story, the work of King Baggot and Raymond L. Schrock, and no so-called “romantic” characters. Babby Pebby appears as Santussa, a tot of 4, en route from Italy to New York in charge of a governess. Giovanna. an Italian jewel smuggler, conceives the idea of using the child as a blind to enable him to get a collection of valuable jewels past the customs officials. Looking to this end, he kidnaps her. Success attends his scheme, and having grown fond of the child he takes her to live with the band of crooks of which he is a member. Her influence upon the hardened criminals, and her subsequent adventures in the big city of New York provide an interesting and entertaining plot. In the support of the diminutive Peggy are such players as Gladys Brockwell, Carl Stockdale, Pat Hartigan, Betty Francisco, Sheldon Lewis, William H. Turner and others. Subsidary program features will include the Fox news weekly, a Mack Sennett comedy, “The Lion and The Souse,” organ selections by Earle Gordon and musical entertainment by Virgil Moore’s Apollo orchestra. -!- -I- -IMISTER SMITH’S PRESENTS OLD TIME STAGE SUCCESS “Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model.” adapted from Owen Davis' melodrama, which was a success on the legitimate stage several years ago, will be the attraction at Mister Smith’s next week.

Hatton and Miss Gerber are supported by Robert McKenzie, Joseph do la Cruze, Nell Franzen, Clark Coffey and Wilbur- MeGaugh. "A Lucky Loser,” starring Eddie Lyons, will be the comedy. “THREE WEEKS” DUE TO OPEN AT LINCOLN SQUARE Elinor Glyn makes an interesting reply to those critics who have attacked her novel, “Three Weeks,” the film version of which will be presented by Goldwyn at the Lincoln Square next week. Mrs. Glyn states: “I have often been condemned as an immoral writer. Now this is not American justice. I challenge any one carefully to read every word of 'Three Weeks’ with an open mind, not with the determined idea to search for sensualities, and then see if he can find a single sentence taken with its context and meaning, which can degrade—a single place where the Lady’s words were not to elevate Paul’s brain, and his and turn him. as they did into a thinking, responsible being of use to his country.” “Three Weeks” was adapted from Mrs. Glyn's novel by Carey Wilson, associate editor of the studios, working in connection with the authoress.

INDIAN GRANTS CLOUD HILL 10 INDIANA LAND Holders of Ground Along Original Michigan Road Are 'Trespassers.’ Any person, firm or corporation who is now encamped, settled on or otherwise holding or obstructing land within fifty feet of the center of the original line of historical Michigan road from Michigan City to Madison, lnd., is standing on State property and trespassing thereon. Harsh legal language, but according to the words of the original grant of said land by Indians to the United Stares in 1826. a 100-foot strip of land from Michigan City to Madison is for use as a highwaay and for nothing else. The road runs through Indianapolis, entering Northwestern Ave. and going out by Southeastern Ave. All alleged property holders established within fifty feet of the center of these streets and within fifty feet of the road line as it traverses the center of the city are encroaching on State land. v Title is Worthless A city street is thirty-five to forty fee’t wide. That means there are a lot of persons holding land on a title that isn’t worth a nickel. The State can’t give title nor can the United States, since use of the land is stipulated in the grant. One bright day, Oct. 16th, to be exactl in the year 1826, the chieftans apd warriors of the Pottowatima tribe and three United 1 States commissioners. Uewis Cass, Jacob Ray and John Tipton, all from Indiana, met on the Wabash River at the mouth of the Mississtnewa and signed this agreement: "As evidence of the attachment which the Pottawatima tribe feel toward the American people, and particularly to the soil of Indiana, and with a view to demonstrate i their liberality and benefit themselvfs by creating facilities for traveling and increasing value of their remaining country, the said tribe do hereby cede to the United States a strip of land commencing at Lake Michigan and running thence on the Wabash River, 100 feet wide for a road: and also one section of good land contiguous to the said road for ach mile of the same and also for each mile of a road from ’he termination thereof through Indianapolis to the Ohio River for the purpose of making a road aforesaid from Lake Michigan by the way of Indianapolis to some convenient point on the Ohio River: and the General Assembly of the State of Indiana shall have the right
