JUVENILES TO BROADCAST ‘UNCLE TOM’

Children Will Take Parts in Classic on Times Friday Night Air Program. 11l the interest of greater radio programs, The Indianapolis Times on Friday night, ove\- WFBM, Merchants Heat and Light Station, from the studio at the Severfn will broadcast, on its super-spring festival program, “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” with an all juvenile cast, under auspices of The Indianapolis Theatre Guild. School children of Indianapolis, ranging from six to fourteen years of age, trained by Mrs. Bert Merling and directed by Bert Merling of the Guild, will present a fifty minuU| version of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.’' School children and their parent# arc invited by Mrs. W. O. Bates of the Guild and by The Times to listen in on this great novelty. Never in the history of laulio has such a distinct novelty been broadcast from Indianapolis. On Stage The Theatre Guild several weeks ago gave two performances of the long version on tho stag© at the Masonic Temple. It was a great success, so much so that Mrs. Bates and Merling agreed to broadcast a tabloid version with the same cast. Eastern magazines devoted much space*' to this guild presentation of a juvenile “Uncle Tom.” Even the film dailies sent their representatives tier© to snap the children so that Indianapolis has obtained national recognition through tho event. The cast won praise from the newspapers of tho city. Paul Carr, a 10-year-old lad. played tho part of “Phiaeas Fletcher.” So true and tine was his characterization of this difficult rolo that after his first exit he received a scene call. William Craigle, an 8-year-old boy, played "Skeggs, the auctioneer,” and dominated the auction scene. “Uncle Tom” was portrayed by Thurman Ridge and "Simon Legree” by Biagio Lapento, 14-year-old boys, and incidentally the only two members in a cast of forty who were that old. Russell Reynolds, 13, played "St. Clair.” “Haley, thp slave trader,” was played by Richard Frieberg, !>.

Girls "Aunt Ophelia,” was enacted by Agnes Louise Kalleen, 12; “Eliza,” by Xidtah Dunn, a 12-year-old miss, whose emotional work elicited applause. “Topsy,” who jes’ growed, convulsed both audiences, Miss Jane Shere. who played this role is 12. "Little Eva” was played with finest artistry by Leone Meyers, a 9-year-old. "George Harris” was splendidly and convincingly played by Max Healey, 11. The task of mounting and lighting the twenty-one scenes was accomplished by Merling. Mrs. W. O. Bates, the founder of the Guild, who has been working 1 for years to inaugurate children’s dramatic guild in this city, has had her ambitions in that direction realized. Besides achieving this goal, the 100 per cent enactment by children on any stage of the classic “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” marks a precedent in the history of the theater. Already this "idea, originating and fulfilled by Merling, has borne fruit outside of Indianapolis. Chicago has announced a presentation of "Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by children, modeled on Merlin’s Idea. Music by Two Artists The musical part of the radio program will be furnished by two : well-known artists. Miss Sylvia Tschudi, soloist, who is well known on Times radio programs, will sing two noted groups of songs. The Times takes great pleasure in introducing a great banjo player, Tom tarey of the Gibson Sales force. He Is being brought here in interest of greater appreciation of banjo music. This super-spring festival program will start at 8:30 p. m. Friday. SIDE INJURED IN FALL William Penrod, rooming at 447 IV. Court St. with his wife Leona, was taken to city hospital Wednesday night suffering from serious injuries to his side. Mrs. Penrod said she returned home and found her husband suffering. He told her ho fell. She said he had been out of work, and police say they are desti--1 ute.
