And I mean every word that I Bay. ■i'hsn you see Dobbins as the Old I am sure you will agree with me that English’s this week Is giving Indianapolis a chance to see worthy acting. “Al.” the bootlegger, is played by Larry Sullivan. He seems to have caught the “spirit" of the role. And that I admit is a poor joke. But Sullivan makes a corking good “Al.” Idahelle Arnold as Nellie (and Nellie was a lady, although she drinks straight whiskyl is doing the best work of her career in this city. Dobbins. Sullivan and Miss Am .Id, what a glorious combination they make this week. Nearly forgot to tell you about Peter, a parrot, who drinks too much of home-made booze. Peter was veryfond of Nellie and he drank too much booze which was given to him by Nellie, and then died. Peter admitted. by laying an egg. that “he" had been masquerading for years under a wrong name. Poor Peter. Others in the adequate cast are Alexander Campbell, Mary Hill, Jean Oliver. Elmer Ellsworth. Jr.; Robert Fay and Myrtle Stringe.. Don’t miss "The Old Soak" at English's this week. \ jt is easily worth twice the price Liat is being charged.

KRTRUDE OUSTIN’ DOES THE tl/ORFOUS THING /IT MURAT I We made a big discovery last night at the Murat. . The program for “Kempy" stated _iai Gertrude Gustin plays the role ssf Katherine Bence, a small town graduate who lost her head over the foolish nonsense of alleged city highbrows who want to lead their own lives and all of that stuff. That is all I knew about Gertrude Gustin. but she wasn't on the stage for five minutes last night until the large audience sat up and took notice. This woman made her first appearance at the Murat last night and before the final curtain came down everybody was praising this new member of the Murat Players. The fact is that she overshadowed others in the cast and even the play. And that is no criticism of the other actors present in “Kempy.” Miss Gustin has that something which would make any role. She has emotional reserve. She knows how to build a scene and above all she knows how.to talk so she can be heard. And she knows how to walk. She knows how to create a character. This woman does not rely upon mere words to form a character, but she combines words, personality and business, the result being a powerfully commanding performance. My tip is to watch this woman in the next few weeks. No announce had been made that s.ie was - g to Join the Murat Flayers, cme flashed on and the result was a triumph. I am not excited. I have seen the real article in acting. See this woman in “Kempy’’ by all means this week at the Murat. •So there will be no misunderstanding, my words of praise in no way retracts from the splendid work done by others in the cast. Haroli Vermilye is playing the Kempy role, the part created bv EIL Dtt Nugent, and I am sure that if Nugent could see Vermilye in th part ha would congratulate him. A

He Smiles

HBnS / Wt

LEO HOYT Why shouldn't this man smile? Leo Hoyt has a perfect right to smile and even howl if he wants to. His playing the role of Solomon Levy in “Abie's Irish Rose.” The show is a success and so is Hoyt. He has a job for months to come. Why shouldn't ha smile because he makes hundreds happy every day. At the Capital all week.

really fine piece of acting. This role could be overacted and it would be terrible, but Vermilye does not commit that crime. Claude Kimball mounts to his big scene in the second act with splendid understanding. Richard Thornton as Ben Wade does an outstanding piece of work. Jessamine Newcomhe as "Ma" Bence Is rightly cast. She is a great comedy jjiid to this show. Genevieve Addleman as Jane Wade gets as much out of this thankless role as any one could. Duncan comes into his very own as "Dad" Bence. Again this man proves his worth to the Murat Players. Splendid work. Jetta Geflfen, anew member of the cast, plays sweetly and naturally the role of Ruth Bence, who actually loved a plumber. Never has the Murat Players provided as many real laughs as they are doing this week. The Shriners gave a big party at the Murat last night. There were special vocal numbers between acts and dancing after the show. Want to laugh? Then see "Kempy" at the Murat this week.

FOURTH WEEK FOR “ABIE” STARTS AT THE CAPITOL This is the fourth week of “Abie’s Irish Rose," at the Capitol. It begins to look as if “Abie” will establish anew long distance record in Indianapolis How long “Able” remains at the Capitol is not known. I know That this show is prospering and that the gross becomes larger and larger eacn week. This show has not gone wrong In Indianapolis. We seem to agree with the -’•et of the United Slates this time. At the Capitol all week. '* -!- -IAMBITIOUS DANCE ACT TOI’S EVENTS AT LYRIC “Romantic Moments in Dance Land" is an ambitious title for a vaudeville dancing act. Yet Hughes and Merritt, at the Lyric this week, not only bill their act that way, but live up to their billing, This team, working before a beautiful set, give little stories and pretty pictures in dance form that make them the outstanding act on a good program. Edward Blondell and company is the featured act. Blondell is a master of his own type of hokum comedy. He plays an overgrown country boy in the act which he calls “The I<ost Boy." He explains that his family moved often and one day while he was fishing they moved and forgot to tell him. The act has some funny lines, but more amusing is Blondell's pantomime work. His business with a large glass vase

made the audience scream. The Three Londons open the bill with a good casting act. The woman member of the trio provides a novelty for this style of act. Louise Massart and Sister score with their high kick and acrobatic .lancing numbers. A. Turelly has a novel musical turn. This fellow plays grand opera selections on hormonlcas of various sizes and shapes. Sherman, Van and Hyman, a rather noisy trio of men got a lot of laughs caricaturing the other sex. The Royal Revue, a good dancing team and four instrumentalists, close the bill. A Mack Sennett burlesque, “Black Oxfords.” and other short movies are on the picture program. At the Lyric all week. (By Observer.! I- I* IPERCY OAKES ATTEMPTS SOMETHING NEW IN DANCES Percy Oakes of the team of Oakes. Delour and Moore, attempts something new in a dance way at the Palace. Oakes is well aware that the public wants novelty in their dance offerings these days. He admits at the beginning of his act that he has to get the act started someway so he introduces his two dancing assistants. Miss Delour and Moore. Oakes has a sort of a personality way about him which aids in putting over the work of his nimble feet. He is better than the average dancer and he does not throw' away time while on the stage. He has the steps and the dance Idea and he pills over the act with the assistance of his two partneis. Act way over the ordinary dancing act. Milt Dill and sister give proof that Will Rogers and his ropes have not been forgotten. Since Will started talking while using the ropes, It seems that many others are doing the same thing. Dill and his sister are clever with the ropes and their conversation is not bad. Jack Merlin is - comedy magi..pi.. f,j s C omedy

than his magic to get across. He has several old but good card tricks. Minstrel memories is just what the title suggests. The regulation minstrel stuff is better presented by these men than one expects these days. Act moves rapidly. Their harmony is pleasing and the act is mounted in good taste. - Billy Goss and company appear in "Oh. You Flirt.” It is a sketch made from the same pattern that all acts of this class come from.

COOLIDGE URGES MOREECONOMY President Outlines Financial Program for Year. By United Press WASHINGTON, July I.—More economy in government and more tax reluction for the people is the keynote of the Administration’s financial program for the coming fiscal year. At "the semi-annual meeting of the business organization of the Government Monday night President Cooiidge announced his determination to see that this program was followed out. The President announced that the executive branch of the Government will take drastic steps to do its pa-t,* and declared his first move will be to Require that preliminary estimates of expenditures for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1925, tentatively set at $5,083,000,000, be cut below $3,000,000,000.

WAR ON MOSQUITO OPENS WITH VIGOR Those Vicious Insects Show Annoying Desire to Linger on Front Porches and in Parked Autos,

The open season for mosquitoes has opened wider than ever in the past month, according to a canvass of the neighborhood front porch brigades. Frank Wallace, State entomologist, points out that the recent rains have encouraged anything but race suicide among the pests. He says mosquitoes show a preference for leaf-filled eave troughs and clogged downspouts in which to bear and rear their young. Mosquitoes, under favorable circumstances, reach their majority on their birthday, as it were, developing an efficient anatomy in one day. A mosquito may live only a week or ten days normally, but he leaves considerable of a life record behind him. His life is shortened or lengthened only as the vigilance of his victim is at a high point, or, due to tough skin or sheer ennui, is at low ebb. Season Always Open Wallace says a teacup full of water can produce about one thousand mosquitoes in a day. When the water in which the larvae are laid is dried up the larvae die. Mosquitoes literally wear themselves out, says Wallace, and die from exhaustion. There are few things about a mosquito that are commendable, it is observed. They do offer huntsmen rather a wide range of action, since the season on them is always

Hard on Petters Some praise is accorded the insect by deputy sheriffs who are all but despairing of breaking up petting parties along county lanes. It seems that the little beasts (the mosquitos, of course) are the only ones thus far disposed to law enforcement to aid the sheriffs. On the other hand, the music they make in one’s ear is not at all popular. Instead of jazz it’s jabb! Oil of citronella, generously sprayed on screens and porch furniture is calculated so to offend the insect that he takes the slight to heart and returns no more. Where this fails, it is pointed out, the only thing left to do is to treat the insect with coldness, hold yourself frigidly aloof, refuse to associate with him—in other words, stay in the house if you haven't screens on the porch. 1,000 See Pageant About 1,000 persons witnessed the pageant, “The Value of an Education,” presented Monday night at Falrview Park by the Mapleton Civic League as a climax to the welcome Butler celebration.
