persecute Paul, and he left them to I preach to the Gentiles, living in the ’ftnuse of Justus near the synagogue. flowever, Paul's ministry in the uytkagogue had not been in viin, and thtJ sensational conversion of Cr4spu,G. the chief ruler of the synagogue had great effect, for many of t*ie Corinthians believed and were joaptized. Here again Paul had a vision. This (time not a call to go,elsewhere, but a call to remain and to pursue his ministry without fear. The result was that Paul settled there at Corinth and stayed for a year and a half, a long pastorate for so restless an adventurer and traveler. Great light is cast upon the nature of Paul’s ministry and experiences in Corinth in the two Epistles that he addressed later to those in that church —the longest and the most intimate of all his Epistles. In the light of these Epistles we can see the church at Corinth built up by patient effort, with the constant teaching of disciples who grasped the meaning of Christian teaching slowly and whose lives often were more influenced by the licentious philosophy and practice of the surrounding city than by the pure example and teaching of Jesus.

Olson to Enlarge Lyric Theater

One of the most successful vaudeville playhouses in the United States, the Lyric Theater, which will observe its thirteenth, anniversary next week, is un Indianapolis theatrical institution that ranks among the foremost in the count ry. Built by Charles M. Olson, it firs* opened its doors Oct. 14, 1912. Originally with a frontage of 72 feet on Illinois St., it has a capacity of but 1,000 seats, and It was quickly demonstrated that it was much too small to accommodate the crowds, so in 1918, Olson, having acquired additional frontage of 41 feet, remodeled and rebuilt the house, making it one of the largest and finest, vaudeville theaters in Indiana, with a seating capacity of 2,000. Within a short time it was seen that this, too, was inadequate, and Olson and his associates recently acquired 21 more feet, a part of the ground new occupied by the Crystal theater, and plans are under way to again enlarge the Lyric to make it even pi°re commodious and to assure additional comfort and convenience for Lyric patrons. It is expected that this work, which will entail the expenditure of a great deal of money, will start next year. A complete new cooling and ventilating plant is now being installed. Bit Success The success of the Lyric may be attributed to the Quality of vaudeville entertainment presented at popular prices. The cost of the Lyric’s shofws averages $3,000 weekly. From 35,000 to 40,000 people attend the Lyric each week. Some of the most famous stars of the vaudeville firmament have up-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

As one read*; Paul’s comment upon various questions that had arisen lie wonders at the apostle’s faith and patience, and he marvels likewise that a great church should have been built out of those who so inadequately and go slowly realized the meaning" ofthe Christian way. But these Epistles likewise reveal the great satisfactions that Paul must have had in his Corinthian ministry, and the' extent to which some at least perceived ,the very heart of the Gospel. There are passages in the Epistles to the Corinthians that could be addressed only to men and women of saintly mind and habit —passages that sound the ver highest note of Christian philosophy and spiritual truth. In the Ep sties, also, we have an opportunity to see how effective Paul’g ministry had been. There were those who disparaged his ministry, just as every faithful ministry has had its disparagers and critics. But the controversy over Paul only indicated how intense had been his irifluenee over many in Corinth. Possibly some of those who were Paul’s critics had felt the sting of Paul’s Yebuke of their un-Christian ways.

Corbett, Robert McKitn of movie fame, Yvette, violin virtuoso and band leader; the Great Bl.lckstone, magician extraordinary; Savoy and Brennan, and a host of bthers too numerous to mention. Few theaters afford as good facilities and accommodations for vaudeville artists as the Lyric. The dressing rooms, rather than being numbered, are named after various cities. They are equipped with shower baths anft every convenience to be found in a modern theater building. Tlie dressing rooms open off a largo and handsomely furnished lobby and lounge, and it is here that the actors put in their time between shows. House Staff The Lyric house staff is headed by Howard Armstrong, manager, who started as an usher, and who was advanced from year to year to the important post which he now holds. Dick Wright is assistant manager. John Tull, long associated with theatricals in Indianapolis, is stage manager, his department including Dick Parrish, electrician. Doc Farnsworth, property master, Harrison (Sherm) Perry, D. R. Barnecle, William Currens, and Bud Welch, gripmen, and Frank Jones, flyman.

ROUNDING T-H EATERS

mT is safe to state that Harold Lloyd is the most popular movie star in this city. With safety this can be maintained because Lloyd’s “The Freshman” today terminates a three weeks’ run at the Apollo. Sometimes a picture becomes famous and of long run ability not through any one star, but because* of its theme and spectacular treatment by the director.

ROUND With WALTER Da HICKMAN

But in tho cAse of Lloyd, it is different. He is a name draw. 1 have heard morel people state that they are “going tin see Lloyd at the Apollo” than “gvlng to see 'The Freshman’.” Lloyd and Chaßlie Chaplain aro name draws. Docsfclae Fairbanks belongs to that clans but one often speaks of Doug In tlhe terms of "Tho Thief of Bagdad.” Lloyd is the whef e works in his picture. He is the attraction and by being Lloyd all the time, ho is able to mako all if his pictures reflect his own strength. It is my conviction that Lloyd by Iris work in “The Freshman” becomes tho leader in jnovle comedy. He displays certain Artistry in this movie which was only suggested in his earlier pictures. Lloyd is essentially p. comedian of business, judged by tl*a way he developed the dross suit idea in “The Freshman.” It is easy to say, according to my wa.y of thinking that “The Freshman" is Ihis b p st all round comedy. I do not expeat general agreement on that point but we seem to agree that “The FresHman” is a great comedy. Kennedy at tho Apollo tells me that this Lloyd picture has broken all box office records at his theater. • • • Eddy Waller, former loading man and stage director for tjhe Berkell Players at English’s, has been here this week on business. jHe admits that he is here looking at the stock situation. Jean Ollverr, leading woman, is now In Bermuda on a vacation. She has been busy fn stock in the east since leaving here more than a year ago.

When Mary Haynes was announced as a headline attraction over the Keith-Albpe time, I had my doubts about the wisdom of making a headliner out of her. She if, making the bad mistake of doing her same old act. She should study Itae Samuels and notice how thf' headliner changes her maj/ every season. Just bowd as Haynes became a headiC u Is mystery to ,me.

There might as well be some plain words on this subject. I am not playing favorites between the Little Theatre Guild or Tho Little Theatre Society. In this department it is my desire to tell you about the activities of these two organizations and to report critically what they present. If the time comes when one society does better work than the other, I will not he afraid to state so. But at tho present time with their productions before us, both societies will get an even break in treatment from this department. I firmly believe in such horleties.
