Applesauce Is Applesauce World Over and the Brand Can Not Be Disguised
By WALTER D. HICKMAN j t— ——Tj ERE is a study in words. 11 —XI The word in question is ! |* * | applesauce. Barry Conners has written a small town comedy I and named it “Applesauce,” because j Us chief character gets by in the | world by spreading verbal sunshine, meaning in not too polite terms, j spreading the bull. During three acts, the applesauce j is spread in various amounts upon j all the characters. After you get j through with this comedy you have the thought—Why work as long as I you can “soft soap” people and get j what you want? You have to judge a play by its own class. “Applesauce” belongs to the "Kempy," “The First Year” I and "The Six Cylinder Love” class. But it isn’t half the play that j “Kempy” was. To my way of thinking the Nugent play is at the head of the list of the small town plays. The first act of “Applesauce" actually delivers the goods. It is small town, but it is real. If this comedy could have kept up the pace I it started in the first act it would j have been a Main street master- j niece, but the author kept on re- j creating the situations and sprinkling some very old chestnuts as j jokes. I am not looking for the perfect | play. I believe in a human view- i point in everything that the stage ] produces. I do not take to the clouds, I sit on a throne and say this is not | profound enough for me. I believe I in laughs in life and on the stage, j There are many laughs in this j,lay, but the laughs for the most part, are obtained bv the ability of the cast and not the author. The applesauce spreading is confined to three acts. The first and ! second acts are placed in the Robin- j son home just an ordinary small { town horn", but dad and ma fight aU • the time, but always stay hitched up. Their daughter. Hazel, hears and sees them quarrel for many years. She finally decides to marry her rich sweetheart fn place of the poor one who spreads only applesauce. Before the wedding day. Hazel breaks her engagement and marries the applesauce spreader. He doesn’t work, nor does he worry about a . job. Hazel is ready to work and sup- j port her husband if necessary, but j hubby knows when he "soft soaps" j his and her relatives to the right j point that they will shei} out and give them their blessing. The applesauce spreader wins. The comedy rests upon the epptesauce remarks of Bill McAllister, the lad who spreads it. Also by the comedy quarreling work of Jessie i ’rommette as Ma Robinson and Georg*- Barnum as Paw Robinson. Miss Cr< mrnetto was the mother in "Kempy” and she is just the same in this play. Nobody could g<t I more out of this sort of a character than this woman. Allan Dinehart gets along very well with his job of spreading the sauce. He is a matinee sort. Clai borne Foster as Hazel Robinson, who marries Bill, is sweet as she is supposed to be. The cast follows: i Ms Robinson Jrsaje Crnmmrtte Paw Robinson Gei'zc Barnum Mrs Jennie Baldwin Carrie Wrl.-r . Hazel Robinson Claiborne Foster ! Matt M 'Alllster .bile* Farrar j Bill McAllister Allan Pmehart Hollo Jenkins Walter Connolly “Applesauce” Is anew play. Only : a few weeks old. It is to open Sunday in Chicago. This comedy is j not a bad sort, but the main trouble | rests in the repetition of situations. It seems to be that the idea might I have originated from a vaudeville I sketch. As it now stands there is j not enough variety in the situations ! to scatter It over three acts. Time will tell if the “Kempy” 1 type of a play has passed out of j fashion. “Applesauce” remains on view at ; the Murat all week. -i- -I- -I- ---( OMK OVER AND HAVE \ PARTY WITH POLLY Take your sewing if you be a j woman and your cigars if you be a j man and journey over for a call upon j Polly Moran.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
enjoy this rapid, funny-talking woman. When I was present she could have received a large ovation. She took several bows and then made way for the rest of the show. Hero is the only “personal appearance” (and that expression has cursed many of ’em) who actually makss good on the variety stage. She has a real routine. Farrell, Taylor and company, with two men in blackface, present an elaborate and lengthy fun revue. Edith Swan, a trombonist, helps the act. Well done. Magic and mystery is offered by Jovita in “The Spirit of Buddha.” Lucy Gillette and company open the show with a juggling act. Good work. Bud and Eleanor Coll are youthful dancers of promise, but they should eliminate their attempt at comedy. The movie feature is “A Self Made Failure.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. •I-!• -lUNIQUE PERSONALITY COMM AMIS ATTENTION In burlesque revues, personality counts as much as material. You will realize this after seeing Mabel Haley do her jazz song specialty in “Red -' • Pepper Revue," s at the Capitol. / Jfe V'dtM She sings a song and *** about a girl who is hard f'JpM&L hearted. The 6l jk “gal" in this i ™ gpP song is one of j I**% ’'“HOT J&jW those hard nose : fJk '-dw' wise girls who 1 -Fm IP have crept to the front in mu ; sijand. Miss Haley, by a lIABEL HALEY unique method, entirely her own, makes this number stand out among the many in this revue. She is at her best during this specialty number, although she will cause laught.er by her conception of a slangy modern,Juliet in a travestj oi “Ro men and Juliet." This burlesque fun I is done in a beautiful stage set. Even 1 a trick balcony is used. In this ! fun Jack Edwards, Arthur Page and Edward Peek are each seen In the ; role of Romeo. Good fun, but will j probably make Shakespeare turn over in his grave, il surely couid ! have thought up something morel original.) “Red Pepper” is t v e best dressed! j and most beautiful from a scenic ! 1 standpoint of ill the shows seen at j i tlie Capitol this season. 1 lie opening number, with its moving seen- ; j cry. is one of real beauty. The j 1 jewel number is as well dressed as I any of the big legitimate revues. This one number makes “Red Pepper" the best dressed burlesque review I have ever seen. Sure, I am watching my words. The chorus is well trained. Spien-|-lid work. Most of the comedy is I noisy slapstick. Not much artistry i,s required. The comedians seem to (think that ultra noisy revolvers i when exploded many times Is a comedy scream. To me that Is all wrong. Audiences do not want to see a gun battle upon the stage. For (goodness sakes. cut down on this pistol noise as It causes the show to' ! reduce its class. This revue doesn’t meed hoakum gun play. “Red Pepper Revue” Is a real ( revue, comedy too loud at times, but

The children will meet Pony Boy and Mary in the first act. Pony Boy is a trained pony who dances, plays musical instrument and acts nearly human. He frolics with cats and dogs. Quite a real pal is Pony Boy and one that the children will love. The children are always interested in magicians. So the bill includes Roland Travers and several bags of tricks. He introduces the Follies Girl and does an Oriental rope mystery. A rope is tied around the arms of a girl. She starts climbing a ladder. Suddenly she disappears, leaving only the rope and the ladder. Adult mystery is furnished by Alla Axiom, who is no stranger here, lie is the gentleman who answers questions put to him by patrons. He is a splendid showman although I do not care for this brand of entertainment myself. I know that many people do because all of the engagements of this man here are successful. Kauffman and Lillian offer eccentric comedy material with the woman doing most of the work along this line. The comedy is slapstick, but registers. Ross and Edwards are eccentric dancers and singers. They are expert hoofers. Bayles and Patsy, think I have the name correct, have hopeless comedy material. They have a singer placed in a box. It is this man who really causes the act to really make some headway. The Dinus Belmont Players go in for drama both in melody and dancing. Too dramatic at times, overdone. This revue is mounted. Seems to go over with ease. Ttie movie feature is Jack Dempsey in “Luck O’ the Foolish.” At the Lyric all week. •I- -I- •!■ Other attractions on view today include: “The Sea Hawk" at the i ’iroie; “The Enemy Sex’’ at the Ohio; “Toss of the D’Urbervilles” at the Apollo: “Monsieur Beaucaire." it Mister Smith’s; “Into the Net" at tlie Alamo And Regent, “The I.ost Battalion” at the Lincoln Square and “Fast Company” at the Isis.
