Aeroplane Pilot Beats Bandit at Love Game; Thrills at English s —Good Variety Bills Here

By WALTER D. HICKSIAN A r ~~“l X aeroplane pilot beats a Mex ican bandit at th3 love game, i—. While this proceeding is going on, a real live aeroplane crashes into a hut, or whatever they live in in Mexico. A Mexican girl who does not want to marry a Mexican thinks that some God sent the white man to her for a husband. Why should a white man drop from the clouds in his aeroplane and come crashing into a hut, if it wasn’t to fall in love with a Mexican vamp? That’s the idea around which Paul Dickey and Charles W. Goddard have built a comedy drama, “The Broken Wing,” now on view at the Murat. The Murat Players and others concerned handle the aeroplane crash in fine style. It looks and sounds the real article. It is no easy job, from a stage manager's viewpoint, to cause an aeroplane to crash through the roof and the walls of a hut, even if the hut is located in Mexico. The aeroplane crash happens in the first act and then for three acts a flashy Mexican general, head of a gang of bandits, and the American aviator wage a battle of wits. Os course the Yankee wins and carries bis brown skinned angel back to the States in his aeroplane. * I doubt if it would be fair to tell the story of “The Broken Wing.” The less you know about the ending, the better you are going to like this play. George Gaul Is cast as a bragging Mexican bandit gentleman who insists that he marry Inez Villera. Inea is a little Mexican vamp who insists that she marry white man. Shereminds me of a sort of a Mexican edition of Luana in “The Bird of Paradise.” * Gaul is not called upon to do any great acting, but he has a role which permits him to make love under certain disadvantages. He could be cruel and he doesn't treat his lady love as a civilized gentleman would, "but pulls the rough cave man stuff. Gaul gives his bandit general a sense of humor. Oh, he looks very grand strutting about in his uniform. Gertrude Gustin gets her big chance in this show. I knew this woman could do this sort of thing. She rises beautifully and easily to her several big scenes. Quite a triumph for her. Harold Vermilye has a breezy Yankee role which fits him well. Jatsamine Newcombe, even in* a mirtor role, dominates every scene in which she appears. Claude Kimball has his triumph this week. The cast is as follows: General PanSlio Aguilar Duncan Penwarden Br.e-.ao El'.rtt Cabot Sylvester Croes Harold errailve Ouichlta Jessamine Xeweombe Inez Villera Gertrude Gustin Luther Farley Richard Thornton Captain Innocenclo Dos Santos George Gaul Jerry Waldron W. E Watts Philip Marvin Claude Kimball Marco Donald Campbell Cecelia Genevieve Addleman “The Broken Wing" made, somewhat of a Stir on Broadway. It should make quite a itir this week at the Murat.

When Summer Comes Are You Tired, Weak , All Worn-Out? IS a constant backache spoiling your sunyner? Do you feel lame, stiff and achy; so utterly worn-out And miserable you can't enjoy a moment’s rest or comfort? Has it occurred to you it may be due to weak kidneys? Well kidneys, you know, filter the poisons from the blood. But when the kidneys weaken, these body-toxins accumulate and upset the whole system. Backache is apt to follow, with sharp, stabbing pains, headaches, dizziness and kidney irregularities. Don't wait for serious kidney sickness. Use Doan's Pills. Indianapolis folks recommend them. Ask your neighbor! “Use Doan’s” Say These Indianapolis Folks:

EDWARD CHERRY, moulder, 114 N. Minkner St., says: "My ba*-k was in bad shape and mornings I was so lame I could hardly stir around. When [ bent over I get such kinks in hoy back 1 could hardly straighten. My kidneys were disordered. I used Doan's Dills nd they cured me.”

party, well, you are missing a bunch of fun. It is seldom thit 4 with some real ESTELLE warm hoofin’. The TAYLOR act js shy on the proper scenic equipment, but it is there forty ways on dancing talent and pep. Quite the goods. Don't miss McGrath and Jack Deeds. Here is an eccentric team which gathers “berries," meaning laughs, every second they are on the stage. Clever, eccentric fun. Don’t miss the Wolverine orchestra. This is Vic Berton's crowd of jazz melody makers. These lads have that youthful forget-everything attitude which makes them hot favorites even in this awful July weather. I *liink that the strength of this organization rests in the man who plays the drums. He uses things to get crooning and funny “remarks" from the drums. He is a good showman. He knows just how far to go. He works his men fast and the result when I was present was more than a greeting, it was an ovation. Olga Kane, a singer of blues songs, aided the orchestra in an encore number. This woman just struts her jazzy melody. She is there when, it comes to putting over a jazz song in an in-

MRS. LELAND MACKEY, 1115 E. Pratt St., says: “I had rheumatic trouble in my knees and they were so stiff I could hardly bend them. My arms swelled and I felt miserable. I ached so I could not rest mornings and felt sore and lame. I used Doan's Pills and they relieved me.”

dividual way. She has ajn act all of her own. She is a winner and a mighty fine “fellow" to aid Berton and his players in giving a corking good finish to the Wolverines. Quite an orchestra. Here I raved about four acts and I haven’t mentioned Frazere and Corrine. Here is a trapeze act which is different. This couple introduces some good chatter while 'Frazere pivots dangerously on the trapeze with his heels. Some splendid “heel” holds here. Don't miss this either. The movie feature Pauline Garon and Estelle Taylor in “Forgive and Forget.” Quite a show. At the Palace today and Wednesday. -!- -!- -!-' SUMMER THRILLS, PLENTY OF ’EM. AT ENGLISH’S . Thrills, plenty of ’em, are handed out by the Berkell Players at English’s this week. This is afforded by Eddy Waller producing “The Last W'arning,” a mystery play bjf Thomas F.

Dorr released his spirit from his bofly so he could ! “push his little circle of light farther out into the dark.” With the dust of her selfish labors on her hands. Dorothea Farragut Dorr, his wife, asrain resumed her mad whirl of activity on this earth. You will meet this strange man. Llewellyn Dorr, a brilliant young neurologist, and his society wife in Ernest Poole's “The Avalanche, which was recently published by the Macmillan Company, New York. I admit frankly that I do not know how to approach this new Poole novel so I can drive home its dramatic and weird message. To me “The Avalanche" is more than a mere story. It has reached into my brain box At times I feel dramatically drugged. I. too, seem to be reaching out into the dark. That probably is the test of the greatness of Poole. He gets into your drarpatic self He makes anew mental being out of you. He pushes the walls of our little life out, out into anew darkness. The dramatic crash of the last chapter left me weak, trembling and even angry- For 344 pages I had worried, studied and been swept off mv feet with Llewellyn Dorr. At the very end of thp story I had clay j dust on my hands. (riay dust! We will all become I tust that, but how better prepared | are some souls from others for the I frreat adventure in the dark.

U. S. SHIP, HALF A CENTURY OLD, ON RESCUE TRIP Coast Guard Cutter ‘Bear’ Receives Most Dramatic Assignment, Timet Wathiniiton Bureau, 1.118 Xcw York Ave. WASHINGTON. July 22.—The U. S. Coast Guard cutter “Bear,” veteran of half a century’s battles with the Arctic, has just received the most dramatic assignment in all its fifty-odd years in government service Admiral F. C. Billard has ordered the cutter to go to Wrangell Island, ■at ode of death.’ to see if a white j man and several K c kimos, left there ! last year to try to gain possession , of the island for Great Britain, are ; still alive or in want, i For more than 200 years ownerof the island has been dispute Russia, Great Britain and the | United States.

"When the men are rescued there will be a story to tell that will rank with the most romantic in 'Arctic history," Stefansson wrote in the Spectator in September, 19222. There was indeed a story to tell, but instead of being the most romantic, it was one of the most tragic in all the history of the North. For when Noice and his ship, the “Donaklson,” reached the island last September, they found an Eskimo woman," Ada Blackpack, to be the sole survivor, end she was down to her last package of pilot bread. Lost at Sea She told how Crawford, Frederick Maurer of New Philadelphia, Ohio, and 'Milton Galle of New Braunfels, Texas, made desperate by the failure of relief to arrive, had left the, island to seek the mainland and never returned. E. U. Knight of McMinvilla, Ore., who had been too w T oak to go with the others, had remained behind only to die of scurvy on June 20, 1923.

pjay to present. So much depends upon the “business” and the idea of fear. The audience must be made to fear. The test of the effect of this play depends to a large extent upon how the element of fear is broadcasted over the footlights. During the last regular legitimate season at English’s, this play 'was presented by a most capable company. I will attempt no comparison between the road show and a production in stock. The fact remains -®iit Waller has attempted to carry out the same effect, even using a number of Indianapolis policemen, Just as the touring company used. There are so many tricks in this play which makes it no easy job to product in stock. There is no great acting chance in this play. Every one must work toward one idea —to mystify an audience and to thrill them half out of their wits. The first act moves rather slowly but in the second and third act Waller and other members of the company put over a good performance. .The play must be judged on the whole. When it will make members

sure you will admit that Poole has lifted the veil as much as any one can. Poole is a dramatic artist. He does not paint the mere surface, but he gets down into the soul. If the soul goes into the sun light, Poole follows and photographs it. If it goes down deep into darkness, Poole follows unafraid. He takes an ordinary theme—that of a socially ambitious girl who craves anew sensation. She marries a brilliant young rieurologist. She attempts to make him a commercial success. Llewellyn would not he made such

"But we think we see a lane (bearing and probably will get out of here in about a week.” Cochran reported. Then the “Bear” will start. Peculiarly enough, the "Bear's” first service under the Government was in 1884 when she was part of •the expedition commanded by Admiral Schley, which went north and rescued the Greeley expedition. This rescue mission may be her last, for there is an agitation in Congress to replace her. Her fasten ings are beginning to loosen and it is feared she is no longer safe.

of an audience sit on the .edge of their seats, then the show is getting over. That is exactly what happened the night when I was present. My policy has been never to give way the secret of a mystery play. I noticed that Jean Oliver is doing wonders to this play. She has a small role but how this woman puts her laughs and personality over the footlights. It is Waller's business to act as hard as pails and to keep you guessing. He does both.

a success. He was a soul explorer. Money meant nothing to him. For a time he was blinded by the love of his wife. But she didn’t climb to the Heavens on his stepladder. The result was an awful crash. Here Is a dramatically big and fine story of human beings. The strength of this book rests in the way that Poole gets down deep Into the very character of his people. He does not write of the surface. He gets down into the blood. There is so much dramatic action to this st6ry that at times my imagination became an express train being hurled over a track, a track at times new to me. It gave me a terrific dramatic waljop. s There is going to be a lot of talk about the ending of this book. With Dorr's long journey you run across the word 'strychnine.” Did he take It? Or did he permit his soul to leave his body for the great journey? The more I think of Llewellyn and his wife I believe that both finally got what they realjy wanted. I think the wife got too much out of life. Ix>ve Ruined The big point of the story is this: The avalanche of worldly success (big success) destroys love. I believe that the reader of this new Poole book will ask many questions. There is lot of mystic stuff here, but it seems to explain the actions of the chief characters in stead of throwing a veil around them. / * There is anew mental kick here. At times I was forced to put the book to one side and think it over calmly before 1 permitted myself to get nearer tho dark with Llewellyn. You remember that Poole's "DangeF' got hold of me, hut “The ! Avalanche" started to work on me where "Danger” left off. If you are, not afraid of the dark, then read “The Avalanche.” One of the worth while novels of the year. That's my idea.
