Nothing more. The Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays did all they could do to increase public interest in this First National film.
THE LITTLE SHEPHERD QF KINGDOM COME A play in four acts by Sidney Toler from John Fox’s well known romantic novel of the Kentucky mountains has created a record. The company now playing in Indianapolis has not received one unfavorable notice in all the cities in which it has played, in Columbus and Toledo the critics considered the play better than "Sun Up” and “Heli Bent for Heaven," two big successes of last season in New York. This is the only dramatic road company with the exception of “Abie’s Irish Rose” that has ever played more than one consecutive week in Indianapolis. Walter Pouiter heads the players, and is ably supported by Margaret Selkirk and a well balanced company. The play is not a religious play- Kingdom Come is the locality where the scene is laid, where the feuds take place, where you see on the stage the beautiful love story of “Chad” and “Melissy," and the exciting war scenes. Jack, the wonderful dog actor in the play, thinks it will be a doggone shame if you do not see him act. A pi sty—not a movie, but at the price of a movie in any high class theater.

When I can do my bit in getting your support for worth-while entertainment it seems to me that the sun shines a little brighter. We can only get a better day in the theater by attending the worth-while things, and “Abraham Lincoln" belongs to that class. Horrors! It has happened. I Knew it would.

LITTLE THEATRE OPENS SEASON ON WEDNESDAY
‘The Torchbearers,’ a Comedy, Has Been Well Cast,
On next Wednesday night at 8:30 o’clock at the Masonic Temple, the Little Theatre Society of Indiana will raise the curtain on the first production of its tenth season. The play chosen for this celebration of a decade’s existence is “The Torchbearers,” by George Kejly. Telling the story of the adventures and misadventures of a group of people purporting to be interested in the “movement” of Little Theatrizing. it holds the mirror of satire high before its public; and in that mirror there passes in humorous review the lady directress, and her more or less efficient henchmen; the promptress; the artists of more or less varied temperaments making up the ensemble; the practical husband and his beautiful but totally deficient wife, who, unfortunately for him. but fortunately for Mr. Kelly’s audience, is the leading lady in the contemplated production. The fast The production is under the direction of George Somnes, who has selected the following cast: Jenny Nancy Johnson Frederick Ritter Warren Curry Paul Ritter Margaret Felton Mrs. J. Duro Pampinelli Elizabeth Bogert Sohoefield Mr. Spitidler Murry Wiekard Mrs. Nelly Fell Mary Jane Walters Mr. Huxley Hosseirosse. . Ralph B. Cooney Teddy Spearing Manard Willson Florence McCriekett Ruth Raeey Mr. Ralph Twiller T. M. Overley Mr. Stage Manager H. B.
