Lovely Time Awaits All at Murat; ■ Keith's Offer Fine Artist in Song

P.V WALTER D. HICKMAN WEETNESS you have been I I looking for? I I Well, you will find it in town this week. It won’t be here long and so many people are busy electing a President and others that the sweetness may' be passed up. But just going to tell you about it. There is a lovely show at the Muprat tonight and Wednesday. It’s name is “The Belle of Quakertown.’ Aaron Kc.ffman supplied the book and the music and the melody words by Bert Kalmar and Harry’ Ruby. As far as I am concerned I do not look for the New York label of indrr.-ement to tell rne that a show is “all right.” As far as New York goes, it’s all applesauce to me. I know when a show pleases me. And that is enough for me. And “The Belle of Qaukertown” made me forget a terrible cold and a headache I have had for days. I went to the Murat last night feeling “punk,” and I came out still with the cold, hut happier. And when a stage production does that much for me, well, I am ready to yell from the housetops that it is a good show. You wiil not see undressed chorus girls. You will not hear off-color jokes. You will not see hundreds on the stage before expensive sets. But you will see a young and pretty dancing chorus. You will meet Helen Ford, one of those sweet and lovely persons that the stage needs so badly. You will see much of Eddie Buzzell. Eddie rather reminds of Jack Ostermann —because both of ’em work at great speed. You will see three pretty sets, not elaborate, but in good taste. You will hear some jokes that are ancient, but this applies to every show I have ever seen. You will see some neat dancing formations. You will realize that a musical comedy can tell a complete story. And above all you will run into three of the sweetest songs I have heard in many a moon. Name ’em! Sure I will. Here they are: “No other Girl.” as done by Miss Ford and Buzzell. is a gem In their hands; "Corner of My Mind,” a dream love song with real heart in it as done by Miss Ford and Buzzell. and “I Would Rather Dance a Waltz,” a dash of the old-fashioned stuff, which is a masterpiece of dignity and beauty in the hands of Miss Ford. There might be some weak spots in the first act until Miss Ford and Buzzell arrive, but when they land the entertainment is safe. Miss .Ford became a somebody on the stage last season in New York when she appeared in “Helen of Troy.” "The Belle of Quakertown” returns the stage to the days when a story had something to do with musical comedy. Here is a show that is bright, tuneful, pretty, and on the whole well presented. Many people are going to pass up this little treat. Hundreds did last night. Here is a show that deserves good business. Youth is present in this organization. This is a show for the entire family. At the Murat tonight and Wednesday only. I- I- I DANCE REVUE TOPS NEW BILL AT LYRIC There are so many dance revues in vaudeville now that it is a difficult thing for me to distinguish ail the good points and bad points of each seperate act. “Dance Review of 1924.” the headline attraction at the Lyric this week, though, is a little different from the rest which makes it more interesting, especially to those who like tap dancers. The four men with this act are all excellent at this form of dancing. The woman so the act also is a pleasing dancer. I thought the Toy Soldier dance was their best number. Hamel Sisters and Stross have a clever musical act with the girls playing trombone, cornet, and saxo-

They also dance while playing. Valentine Vox. the ventriloquist, is i very w ell known here in Indianapo- ! lis and am sure is very well liked.

They tried to get him ; back, but didn’t succeed. Balmus. Irma and Milo op*m the show with some striking poses of strength and balance. The woman ; dances in a pleasing fashion. Eastman and M ore had me guessing for a minute; 1 didn't know what the net wis going to be. a musical one of otherwise. The man -has a phasing bass voice and I think the | woman was at her best when the | man took a long piece of cloth and draped a gown around her. They change the scenery at the end of the act into a chapel. The two men in the act billed "North and South” sing some, dance some, and make several wise cracks. [They should devote more of their time out front to dancing. At the Lyric all week —By the ; C)bserver. + ’I I\N OLD FAVORITE PLEASES ALL Afl \!\ Some time ago somebody writing in a magazine suggested the thought that vaudeville today was becoming more and more a Comedy proposition. After visiting the Palace this week. I began to think more serious-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ly of the stand taken in the magazine article. Dan Sherman and company have been presenting their burlesque cirI cus act in vaudeville for many years. I The basic idea has remained the I same, but the actors have kept pace | with time. The two rube brothers ! this season in an attempt to be I sporty at a circus is a comedy t scream. It has universal appeal. Here is rube hokum comedy of the | better sort. I make no apology' for ; liking it. Here is real fun presentjed as it should be. To my way of ; hinking, K is the hit of the bill. Some acts can repeat year after year, btit. I have lost all the kick in | seeing Billy “Swede” Hall and company in "Hilda,” in which Hall does a female impersonation. It is low | comedy, not artistry. If Hall has to stick to just one line of stuff, he ! can at least change the material ■ used by others in his act or lie could furnish both new players and specialty material. The woman is a good foil for the antics of Hall, but i the act has been presented too often jin its present form on the local stage. Have your own opinion as to this act. The Bell Brothers open their act with a musical supper in which everything turns out to be a musical instrument. In a comedy boxing number the gloves even contain musical instruments. Pleasing novelty. Fred Sosman should be congratulated in presenting a monologue in la new manner. He introduces himself as a prologue and then proceeds to sing, tell stories and even recite. Lots of thought and cleverness back of this act. Splendidly mounted. Mild entertainment is offered by Phillips and EHsworht. Dancing is their best effort. The movie feature is Larry Semon in “The Girl in the ; Limousine.” At the Palace today and Wednes- | day. ! The movies today are offering: I "The Story Without a Name” at the J Ohio; “Dangerous Money” at the , Apoilo; “Husbands and Lovers" at the Circle: "Hearts of Oak” at Mis- ! ter Smith’s; “Abraham Lincoln” at j the Lincoln Square, and “Thunder- | ing Hoofs” at the Isis.

JUST ENOUGH OF THIS \ND PLENTY OF THAT j The program reads: Vera Lav--1 rova, “internationally famous coloratura prim.i donna.” in private life known as Baroness Royce-Garrett.

There are several leaders. First, Ed Hen ly and Allan Cross, two singers. They will never tie another Van and Schenek, but these men are going to le nopular. Their golf song is well done. Next.

Hymer an 1 company in “T m Walker in Dixie." Walker will say, “Yes, people still ’a ugh at the act." True. But let ’em laugh more with new material. Dan Boudini and Adele Bernard play the accordions. Boudini plays the smallest accordion ever made. Frank Wilson rides the bicycle. Am sure that he is the best I have ever seen in my years of telling you about shows. The Lanoff Sisters in dance numbers close the show. At Keith’s all week with two election shows tonight in addition to the regular matinee.

SPEED TRAP IS CHARGED Thirty-Sts Motorists Fined for Violating “Silent Cop.” An automatic traffic signal in Carmel caused thirty-six motorists to come to grief Sunday when they were arrested by Roy W. Holbrook, town marshal. Many of those arrested were compelled to pay fines of $8.50 each before Justice Mahlon Day. The Hoosier Motor Club is investigating reports of the speed trap in Carmel. Motorists say the signal changed with such rapidity that it was impossible to obey it. Holbrook said the signal worked regularly, and that no favorites wire played in making arrests.
