HITCHCOCK OPENS SEASON A T ENGLISH’S ON MONDA Y Houdini Will Bring His Own Show of Magic to the Murat for One Week Soon, in* Raymond Ilitchcoek, a comedian always extremely welcome here, will be seen at English’s the first half of next week, in the comedy in which for several weeks past he has been appearing at the Cort Theatre in Chicago. This is “Service for Husbands," by Bates Hunter, playwright. He has appeared in “The Old Soak," in the Ziegfeld Follies and in “Hitehy-Koo."
The comedian, in,Hunter's story, is Jimmy Deering, a young bachelor, who meets with failure as a writer, but finds himself so enormously popular socially that he determines to put his social graces to some practical use. lie conceives the idea of establishing a service bureau for husbands, whereby the latter, when bjsy or straying, may keep their wives from suspicion or ennr by engaging him as their escort to those functions, teas, musicales, luncheons, supper dances and the rest, in which they
the last three days of the week. Ten people are in the company. Elcota, known as the "incomparable xylophonist,” appears with Bee Byrne in their "Everything Different.” Eddie Nelson is responsible for the skit “The Elopers,” which Saxton and Farrell are staging. "Songs as You Like Them” are rendered by the harmony singers, Gordon and Delmar. Jenny and Nylin are speed demons who roller skate and execute some daring feats. On the screen are: “The Night Ship” with Mary Carr, the first half and Frank Lloyd’s "The Silent Watcher,” with Glenn Hunter the last half. -1- -I- -IBEBE MOFFIC TO DANCE AT LYRIC With the advance billing of “the world’s most sensational dancer,” Bebe Moffic, who, with her own company, will top next week’s bill at the Lyric, may be expected to do something out of the ordinary in the realm of terpischore.

find joy, but in which the said straying husbands find no pleasure. They may be sure their spouses are safe in Jimmy's hands, for his business slogan is “A man any husband can trust.” All goes well until very unexpected and more or less romantic complications arise, when Jimmy has to face a series of situations. funny, of course, to the auditors, hut less so to the proprietor of the service bureau. In “Service for Husbands,*’ Hitchcock has a song called “Such a Way With Her,” said to be a fitting successor to the memorable “Alt
The Brandas are considered among tho most versatile of present day vaudevillians. They lcorporate seven distinct and different specialties in their act. They are jugglers, dancers, tumblers, acrobats, musicians and aeriallsts supreme. They also have a troupe of trained dogs that give a most remarkable performance. MACON AND HOGUE—A pair of clever entertainers in “Just Horn* Folks,” a skit that embraces a funry line of talk interspersed with song. FRANK BRAIDWOOD—Cowboy comedian who boasts a breezy brand of westren humor and a budget of new songs delivered in an inimitable fashion. WRIGHT AND COMPANY—Funmakers who offer something new and away f£m the beaten path in an act called "Camping Out.” HARVEY, HANEY AND GRAYCE —lnstrumental musical stars, whose sketch, “Brassies and Brasses,” is flavored with bits of refreshing comedy. 808 ANDERSON AND HIS WONDER PONY—A world renown animal trainer and a pony that displays marvelous sagacity in doing many things.

ROUNDING ROUND With WALTER A ll 1 -LIVO D ' HICKMAN
I AW an all-star cast the other night which would have done credit to that assembled by Mrs. Fiske for “The Rivals." And this all-star cast was assembled for one performance, called “Baying Farewell." Probably this east will never be assembled again but it will go down in Indiana history as a great event.
The cast was headed by Hewfitt H. Howland, editor and advisor of the Bobbs-Merrill Company of this city, who goes to New Y’ork the first of the month as editor of the Century magazine. Others in the star cast included George Ade, Indiana author; Albert Edward Wiggam, author of “The Fruit of tfhe Family Tre>.; ’ M :edith Nicholson, famous novelist; Kin Hubbard. cartoonist and humorist of this city; William Hersehell, a poet who is making himself loved by the Nation; Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch of this city; Ed Scoggin. new Hoosier humorist and author of “The Proud Old Name”; McCready Huston of South Bend, another author who is going to demand attention; William C. Bobbs, publisher; Mark H. Miller, president of the University Club, and many others. In addition to the cast of such magnitude there was a “chorus” of men closely identified with the progress of the State and city among many lines. Am speaking of the dinner that the Universitcv Club gave for Mr. Howland the other night. From a dramatic standpoint the cast of this farewell show was the greatest I have ever seen. It is proper that such an event be recorded in the dramatic depart-

ment because many of the men possibly have done rnuo to advance the cause of the stage as well as literature. F. Ziegfeld would have raved with envy if he could have seen the talent displayed. Ho would never have to worry about Will Rogers leaving the cast of The Follies, because any member of the all-star cast at the University Club would have been another Rogers. Am now electing Kin Hubbard as the great humorist that Ziegfeld needs. Seriously speaking, Indianapolis and the State is going to miss Hewitt 11. Howland, but this man goes to a bigger field and in so doing he brings new fame and honor to Indianapolis and Indiana. CHARACTER ACTOR IN FILM The prime minister in Raymond Griffith's next Paramount picture. “He's a Prince.” is portrayed by Gustav Van Seyffertitz.

Federation of Teachers Will Open Season With Hinshaw Players in ‘Marriage of Figaro’—Matinee Musicale Ready to Start Forty-Ninth Series; ONDUCTING an all-Wagner program as the first orc.hesv tral event under the management of Ona B. Talbot, Walter Damrosch with the New York Symphony Orchestra, will appear at the Murat*on Monday night, Oct. 19. Announcement was made today by the Matinee Musicale that its forty-ninth season will open with a reception for the president at the Herron Art Institute on Friday afternoon, Oct. 16.
The Federation of Indianapolis Public School Teachers will open its season at Caleb Mills Hall on Dec. 2, with the Hinshaw Players giving “The Marriage of Figaro.” On Feb. 23, the Teachers Chorus will appeal in annual concert and on April 8, the Cleveland Orchestra with Nicolai Sokoloff conducting. -I- •!■ + MRS. TALBOT READY TO OPEN ORCHESTRAL SEASON On Monday night, Oct. 19, Ona B. Talbot will open her orchestral season at the Murat with Damrosch and the New York Symphony Orchestra. In the sphere of education, Walter Damrosch and the New York Symphony Society stand out pre-eminent-j ly. In so fewer than four distinct | lines does this remarkable 62-year-I young man predominate—as a con--1 ductor, as a composer, as a lecturer, I and as a lover and a teacher of children. It is primarily a conductor that Damrosch is known throughout the musical world. During the thirtynino seasons he has graced the director’s stand of the New York Symphony Orchestra, the wealth of educational materia! he has brought to the attention of tens of thousands of students, teachers, musicians and music lovers is incalculable. Standing on the liedrock of conservatism with respect to the ideals of music, he neverthless has been most liberal in serving the best of all schools. With the orchestra, lie has carried the message of music from coast to coast, from North to South. By this means he has metamoophosed whole communities from music illiterates into music devotees. His orchestra pioneered in concert opera, and oratorio, cutting its way to success by sheer perserverance against stupendous odds. Penetrating to the Pacific in older days was no/easy matter. Giving Opera was a venture that invited failure. Oratorio was a hazardous risk. Holding together an orchestra of even seventy men was a difficult task. But America had to be musically educated, and Damrosch has helped (o do it in a most positive and brilliant manner. After transcontinental tours came further extension of the sphere of influence. No American orchestra had ever crossed the Atlantic; so

when opportunity came, Damrosch took his orchestra to Europe, aided by the generous assistance of the president of the society, Harry Harkness Flagler, and firmly planted the standard of American musical art on the continent across the seas—something always to be remembered and appreciated. Program follows: Overt urc—“Riensi." • Scherzo From Symphony la C" (composed at the axe of lit). "Rhinoeohl " Kntraneo of the Gorle into Valhalla. Lament ol the Rhino Maidens. “Parsifal.” (a) Good Friday Snell. (b) Entrance of the Knight* of the Grail. Act. I.
