In Quest of ‘Golden Dust’

LEFT—DR. WILLIAM STURGES HUNTING HIS “GOLDEN DUST.” RIGHT—A RUSSIAN THISTLE J PLANT. IN INSET—MRS STURGES.

By XEA Service IMAHA, Aug. 5. —They are spending the summer gathering dust — And when autumn comes they expect to have a quarter of a glass full— But Dr. William Sturges, nationally known bacteriologist, and his wife will be satisfied. For it is “golden dust” they are collecting. It is a “dust” that is proving a blessing to humanity. It is the pollen, or powder, In the flower of the Russian thistle—a powder that has been found to have remarkable hay fever curing faculties. Mixed into a glycerin vaccine, it has been used in treating hundreds

Pajamas Frolic in Mid-Summer Fun; Variety Theaters Have Pleasing Bills

By WALTER D. HICKMAN |rp • HERE must be something j | known as summer drammer. L-. -i Guess that “Parlor. Bed- | room and Bath" belongs to that kind |of entertainment. It is so much hot weather that j several of the principal players adorn the stage clad in pajamas. Am sure that is hot weather wearing apparel. The Berkell Players this week are presenting this farce at English's. It served as a box office blessing for Florence Moore some years ago. This eccentric woman nearly made burlesque out of it. Eddy Waller, who directed the Berkell production and also plays the chief role, was careful to present the play as rapid farce ir stead of playing up the double meaning stuff. As this farce is being presented at English’s many of the double meaning passages have been refined. The result is that the laughs are natural and not forced. “Parlor. Bedroom and Bath” is not a great play. Never was even a good play. But it has laughs, and that answers the entertainment demands of hot weather theater patrons. Waller plays an out and out boob character. The character is just a simp, but the character gets bushels of laughs. Mary Hill is oast as Polly Hathway, the part created by Florence Moore. This farce really belongs to Miss Hill because she does wonders in comparison with the work done by Miss Moore. Miss Jean Oliver has a small part, but she, too, enters into the funny mixups. Page makes a funny bellboy. I got the impression that Page was just itching to do a dance, but the script doesn’t call for such an exhibition. The cast includes: Nita Leslie Jean Oliver Mary, a Maid Freda Hughes Virginia F.mbrey Idabel’e Arnold Leila Crofton Henrietta Floyd Angelies Irving Myrtle Stringer Reginald Irving Eddy Waller Jeffrey Haywood Robert Fay Fredrick Leslie Larry Sullivan Samuel Barkis Herbert Dobbins Polly Hathway Mary Hill Wilfred Rogers Sherold Page Mr. Carroll. Hotel Proprietor Alexander Campbell Police Officer William V. Hull Mr. Carroll, Hotel Proprietor— Alexander Campbell. Police Officer—William V. Hull. “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath” is just light amusement, nothing more, nothing less. At English’s all week. -I- -I- -IGET IX EARLY AT THE LYRIC THIS WEEK Do not be late when you go to the Lyric this week. For the first two acts on the bill are more entertaining than the later acts on a very good summer bill. The bill is opened by the Karmino Dancers. The four girls in the act do a good gypsy dance with tarn-

of hay fever sufferers. And 84 per cent of those so treated say they have been cured entirely. Dr. and Mrs. Sturges are hunting the “golden dust” day and night. By the end of summer, they think they will have gathered 15 grams of it. Yet that is the full supply needed by the New York laboratory for which the doctor and his wife are seeking it. With a camelshair brush, the polLn are separated and put Into a glass container. Then the powder is run through a sieve so fine it keeps out the stray hairlike stamen which accidentally have fallen into the dust. The Russian thistle—the farm-

bourines; there is a good eccentric dancer and a solo from the conductor in the pit. But the feature of this act is a man whose superior I have never sen in the style of dancing that gies by the name of “Russian.” This man literally throws his feet all over the stage. In the second spot Is Jimmy Van, a rube comedian with a keen sense of comedy. Before he had sung the first verse of his opening song, which is something funny about watermelons, this fellow with bis funny face and the infectious smile had the house roaring. And he kept them laughing until he had finished solos on his broomstick fiddle, his handsaw and his ukelele. The Uyenos are seen in a sort of Japanese revue in which their excellent tumbling and risley act is embellished by beautiful costumes and scenery and a lot of showmanship. Lucille Benstead, an Australian prima donna, is headlined. This woman sings well, but she lacks a number of the essentials for vaudeville success. Chief among them are personality, stage presence and a choice of suitable numbers. The Early and Laight trio are mildly amusing in a comedy act. The Broderick-Felson trio is seen in an entertaining classical dancing act. Broderick, an Indianapolis boy, and his partner do several dances, including an oriental and a Spanish number, while Felsen presides at the piano. A great deal of the credit for this act must go to Verne Rothaar, Broderick's dancing partner. Si Jenks and Nell Fulton, the small town wise crackers, are seen in their act, which is still funny, although familiar. Burns and Foran present a routine of soft shoe dances. Comedies and news reels form the movie part of the program. At the Lyric all week. (By Observer.)

HERE IS A REAL VARIETY DANCE IDEA Whoever Is responsible for the idea back of the dance offering of Maxine and Ysobel Arnold at the Palace the first half of the week certainly knows his business. The act catches the eye by the simple and effective draperies used. A costume entrance is used by the three women in the act. A sort cf a ballet school entrance idea is used. The pupils study the steps of the master and improve upon them. One of the girls has a corking eccentric number. The cake walk finish done as a toe dance is just additional proof that the producer and those in the act know their business. * This dancing act has all the daintiness and toe ability that one not only demands, but expects in a high-priced dancing show. To my way of thinking the Arnolds have the most natural dance offering I have seen on the stage for many moons. Smith and Barker are present In a sketch, “Good Medcine.” I have seen this sketch before, but it has the laughs. The man in the act seems to need some good medicine, as he is suffering with a bad cold, but he made those out in front laugh at the sketch. Ted and A1 Waldman play blues on harmonicas. A little more melody and less talk would make the act go over better than It does. Shone and Squires engage in conversation and attempts at melody. Jack Hanley opens the show. I was late getting in. No fault of Hanley. The person sitting next to me volunVered the information that it "was a good act.” The movie feature is “Excitement.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. * * • Other attractions on view today include: Tern Mix in “The Heartbuster” at the Apollo, “True as

In summer, its main purpose, to all intents, seems to be to crowd out other plants affording more profitable yield. Sixteen Injections of the vaccine are used in a treatment. The first injection may be a dose of only five-millionths of a gram. And the last is no more than 16 tenthousandths. The treatments for a time—even two years—may bring only temporary relief. But finally, according to Dr. Sturges. they make it unnecessary for hay fever sufferers, to seek a change in climate to obtain relief from their sneezes and coughs.

STAR UNABLE TO IKE COMPLETE ROUNDOF PARKS Jackie Coogan to Meet as Many Children as Possible in Day, Indianapolis youngsters, bent on having Jackie Coogan, movie star, visit their favorite park or playground when he comes Thursday to ask kiddles to help his Bible land orphans, set up a clamor today. A list of parks Jackie is to visit, published Monday, did not suit every juvenile. John Paul Ragsdale, Jr., 88 Whittier PI., registered disappointment that Jackie is not to visit Jameson Park. Enclosing a quarter In a letter to the Advertising Club, Jackie's sponsor for the day, John Paul wrote: “I think it’s mighty had you don't give us Irvington kids a chance in our own park, which is quite a nice

place. I hope you will change your minds and bring Jackie out here.” The boy was placated when told he could see Jackie at either Willard or Brookside Park. “We can’t take Jackie everywhere,” said Blaine McGrath, president of the Advertising Club, “so we have selected places where the largest number of children may gather with the least Inconvenience.” A special committee of the club at the Chamber of Commerce today, completed details for Jackie's reception. The committee expressed some disappointment that more boys and girls are not using Jackie Coogan envelopes, to be had at drug stores, to send letters and donations to Jackie. "We are asking for anything from 10 cents up,” said Ed Hunter, business manager of the club. Dr. J. C. Curran, who will accompany the Coogan party to the Near East as medical advisor to Jackie, to keep off trachoma and other diseases, was in town today. He said Jackie is a perfectly normal boy, “no different from the thousands of boys he will meet on his tour.” RELIEVES BABIES, helps grown-ups, comforts elderly people.
