FRANCINE LARRIMGRE, THURSTON AND PRIZE PLAY DUE

Noted Magician Opens Monday at En’glish’s and / The * Parasites’ at the Murat —‘Hell - Bent Fer Heaven’ ‘ Arrives Thursday for Three Days, # \ Three attractions of more than passing interest will be offered local theater patrons next week. Lee Shubert will present Miss Francine Larrimore in “The Parasites” at the Murat, opening Monday night for three days. The Shrine will give a theater party Monday. On Monday night at English’s, Thurston, magician, will

open a week’s engagement. On next Thursday night at the Murat “ Hell-Bent ter Heaven,” a comedy drama and winner of the F'ulitzer prize, will open a three-day engagement. English's is nearing the end of its regular season as the Berkell Players open a *.eason of stock on Sunday, March 29. •I- -I- -I’ THURSTON OPENS MONDAY AT Ei ILISH’S FOR WEEK There is onlv one Thurston, and this will be Impressed once again on the Indianapolis public next Monday evening at which time Thurston, magician, will begin his nineteenth annual tour in this city at English’s. For more than two hours the magician will perform seemingly miracle after miracle with deftness, quickness and with apparent openness. Thurston is no ordinary stage trickster: some of his stunts will ||ppear beyond the power of human Pxecution. In this Thurston causes his audiences to marvel how he accomplishes the results, yet with a smile and a jest he continues piling mystery upon mystery in a manner which can only be described as unique and extraordinary. It is said that the uncanny, yet quite human, Thurston does everything that the Oriental wonderworkers ever did, except soar overhead on a magic carpet, or ride a winged horse. Even to that extent could he fool his patrons, for with ell the ingenuity of the modern inventor, the fact remains that the riding on the rug and the flying horse is abut a trick and very easily accomplished by Thurston, should he deelre to do so. •I’ 'l' -I* ‘PARASITES’ OPENS MONDAY AT MURAT FOR THREE DAYS Miss Franclne Larrimore in "Parasites” will open a three-day engagement at the Murat Monday night. The Shrine will give its last theater. party of the season, to whifh the publlo is Invited. There will be dancing after the show. The company Includes such wellknown names in the legitimate theater as Theresa Maxwell Conover, Cecil Humphreys, Gypsy O’Brien, Austin Falrman, Beatrice Swanson, Franklyn Pangbom, Edward Fielding, Frank Knight and others. The action of ’’Parasites” is laid kbri the exclusive summer colony of piar Harbor and concerns the experiences of a young society girl, Joan Millet, who suddenly awakens to the realization that the family fortune is gone and that she must face the world alone and without funds. She is beautiful, educated and adept ait riding, swimming and golf, but totally lacking in any practical knowledge of the world. How to earn her living and retain her position in the sociail set in which she has been reared is the problem with which she is faced and one which she finally solves in a surprising and unlooked-for manner. * * * PRIZE PLAY WILL BE HERE THURSDAY Hatcher Hughes' comedy drama, ’ Hell-Bent Fer Heaven,” will open at the Murat Theater next Thursday night for a half week. It recently was awarded the Pulitzer prize for the best American play of the year—the highest honor in the yift of the theater in this country. “Hell-Bent Fer Heaven” occurs in

For Children "Swiss Family Robinson” is to be produced upon the screen. This announcement has just been made by Carl Laemmle at Universal City. Joe Bonomo, who has just completed “The Great Circus Mystery” will be starred and Margaret Quimby another of Universal’s recent “discoveries” will be the chief supporting player. Margaret was a Follies girl, and from here It seems like a considerable feat to horn a Follies girl into "Swiss Family Robinson.” Strange that Wyss and De Foe never .consider the necessity of injecting the enevitable feminine into their stories.

tjrti Blue Ridge Mountains. Particularly, the play has to do with a boy and girl romance, and the deepdyed intrigues of a jealous, unsuccessful rival for the girl’s hand. The development of the character of the villain contributes greatly to the seeping Vitality of the play and lifts it high above the drawing room sentimental claptrap and the kidglove love story. This unusual character, played by John Hamilton, who won fame in New York overnight through his remarkable portrayal, is a religious fanatic. He is one of the most humorous as well as most terrible persons of the stage, and, like most trouble breeders, he convinces himself that his very act id inspired by the purest motives. Thus fortifying his conscience h* determines to get rid of the young man standing between himself and the girl he loves. He attempts to accomplish this by rousing the good-natured brother of the girl with liquor and opening up an old feud between the families of the two lovers. In- the end he is uncovered and driven out. Augustin Duncan rehearsed the company, and in addition to Mr. Hamilton the oast includes Gladys Hurlburt, Frances Brandt, tVilliam Crlmans, Buford Armitage, Frank Farley and Walter Downing.

To Return Here

Siaole and Blake will present a dancing horse In the race track scene In which four thoroughbred horses up&rtlcipate In "The Chocolate Dandles." To John Alexander, who dexterously handles the front legs and “Chic" Fisher, who holds up the rear must be given credit for the original maneuvers. Never wince the days of the famous heifer Iq Evangeline has the public been treated to such hilarious merriment as Is caused by the antics and gyrations of this creative equine entered In “The Chocolate Dandies” handicap by Jimmie Ferguson', his trainer. His name is "Jump Steady." This attraction will be seen at English’s, March 16, 17 and 18. Hurley Is Added to Out Julia Hurley has been added to the cast of Richard Dix’s forthcoming Paramount picture, “Too Many Kisses.” Mrs Hurley was seen last In support of Bebe Daniels in “Argentine Dove.”
