"Blossom Time*’ opens a week’s engagement at the Murat on Monday night, Jan. 26. + + + NELSON TROWBRIDGE IS PROUD OF BOOKINGS Nelson G. Trowbridge, resident manager of the Shubert-Murat,. is usually proud to announce the coming this season of the following important attractions which will play before the close of the 1924-1925 season. W The Shubert offices have advised Trowbridge during the last few days of the coming of Arthur Hammerstein’s “Rose-Marie,” which comes for a week’s engagement, with matinee Wednesday and Saturday. At the present time "Rose-Marie” Is the outstanding musical attraction In New York City, and has been playing at the Imperial Theater for many months. The company coming to the Murat is headed for an extended engagement in Chicago, and is headed by Myrtle Schaaf. the prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Another attraction coming In the near future Is the famous “Greenwich Village Follies,” which comes for a week’s engagement with matinee Wednesday and Saturday. It had a long engagement at the Apollo, Chicago, and Is now playing the principal cities of the country. L. Lawrence Weber will present Julia Sanderson in the musical comedy, "Moonlight,” which features Frank Crumit, after playing six months at the Longacre Theater, New York City. Probably no Star who comes to Indianapolis is more popular than Julia Sanderson, and it w!U be important news to Indianapolis theater-goers to know that she will play the Murat for a week with matinee Wednesday and Saturday. Another attraction that is coming is the famous "Artists and Models,” presented by the Messrs. Shuberts, comes for a half week with ■aatin.ee Saturday. It will be recalled that "Artists and Models" was booked at the Murat during State fair week, but circumstances forced Its cnacellation, and arrangements have just beep for it to come this time on its tour through this part of the country. -I* -I* -I* "BLOSSOM TIME" COMES AGAIN AT THE MURAT "Blossom Time,” established In New York as the most fascinating musical play offered there within the recollection of the oldest theatergoer, will play a return engagement at the Murat week of Jan. 26, with matinee, Wednesday and Saturday. With its romantic history of the life and love of the great composer as a foundation, It possesses the very basis element upon which a play of this character may be written, and with that story embellished and made fascinating by the enthralling music of the great composer himself, a combination has been achieved that has proven Irresistible.

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS WALTER D. HICKMAN T*” - “ HIS week I received a letter from Ned Way bum relative ■ J to my review of Ziegfeld Follies. Wayburn takes exceptions in the right manner with my failure to give him credit for directing the production. In giving Ziegfeld credit for the revue, I did so in view of the fact that the show bears the name of Ziegfeld. I desire to give credit where it Is due, and for that reason I print part of his letter relative to the point in question. Wayburn’s letter is as follows: "I have Just read your notice of Ziegfeld Follies in the issue of Dec. 16, and feel that I should express my gratitude for the many klnd.*ex* pressions it contains. Yet I do not think It is fair to one who works as hard as I do to have to give the credit to someone else for the work which I have actually done. If you are under the impression that any one else rehearsed any part of the ‘Follies,’ which you seemed to like so well, you are wrong. I had exclusive charge of the organization all through the period of rehearsals and personally made the oontinuity of the show, and It was at my suggestion that the comedy scenes which you liked so well were purchased. "The paragraph to which I take exception is as follows: ’ ‘Ziegfleld through his many mediums of directing, knows how to use girls—heads, shoulders, hands, arms, legs and pretty faces. He groups them and places them In action as no other producer does. He sets your brain on fire by the very color of the movement of his dancers.’ "No self-respecting producing stage director of any standing would allow anyone else, at any time, to give any directions of any kind to any member of an organization.

The Circle will have an extra feature next week when Ted Snyder, composer of popular songs, will be present. Fred Hughes, tenor, will assist. Some of the best known of Snyders songs were “My Wife’s Gone to the Country,” “The Sheik of Araby," "Who’s Sorry Now?!’ His late hits are "So Far Away So Long Ago,” “Blue Eyed Sally,” and “In a Little Rendezvous With You.”
Ziegfleld never presumes to direct any part of the rehearsals; and I wouldn’t allow him to if he attempted it, which of course he never has done. “I feel that I have been done a great Injustice in that one particular paragraph, and I think it is up to you to correct It at the first opportunity. "It Is too bad that you could not sit through rehearsals of such a production and see just what the producer has to go through in order to create a success. The producer

is the executive officer exclusively in charge of the organization behind the curtain line, to whom each and every member of the staff and company are responsible. He is required to give every Inflection of the voice in the dialogue, to create £nd personally rehearse each and every solo and ensemble danoe; to Inspire the costume designer, lyricist, composer and to set the tempos of every number. “He must also evolve all of tfte lighting plots for the switchboard, front lights, side lights, overhead lights; he selects the colors to be plaoed in front of each and every light, for sometimes over 100 different cues in such a performance. He places the furniture, etc.; he teaches the girls how to make up, how to dreer the hair, how to walk, smile, etc.; and there are hundreds of other little details too numerous to mention which he alone must master. “I hope you will take this letter In the spirit In whloh It is Intended; for after many years of very hard work I have gotten so now. that I simply cannot stand to see my work credited to anyone else. If I cannot have credit for the work I actually do and for which I believe I deserve the credit, I certainly do not intend to stand idly by and see anyone else given credit for It.”
