BROADWAY DOES UTILE BIT OF HOUSECLEANING 4? Citizen Jurors Sniff for VulV garity and They Find * Some. By The NEA Play Jtiry XEW YORK, June 21. Broadway’s front parlc# is being tidied up again for the visitors. True, if you glance beneath the sofa you’ll find some hastily tossed soiled linen. And th§re are various objects left about, the taste of which you will question. But you cannot miss the faint odor of disinfectant, applied by District Attorney Banton and his good play jurymen just before the summer rush of guests began. • • • This custom of skimming unpleasantly flavored play broth came into vogue last season. The district attorney selects a jury of twelve. These represent a cross-sec-tion of Manhattan life.

MR. ALBERT N. VORIS

grateful statement was made just a few days ago by Mr. Albert N. Voris, well known Indianapolis printer, living at 326 East Saint Joe Street, this city, during a conversation with The Konjola Man who meets large crowds daily at Hook’s drug store, corner Pennsylvania and Market Streets, Indianapclis, where he is explaining this preparation. “It’s a fact that I’ve suffered for 35 years," said Mr. Voris, “and it was mostly due to stomach trouble. My food would lay undigested in a solid lump at the pit of my stomach for hours after eating. This would sour, ferment and cause awful cramps that I can’t describe in words. My heart would jurtyj and seem to run wild, and pains would shoot through my chest, and halfdigested food would continually rise into my throat. “My nerves were (Completely unstrung, and I would have cold sweats

so bad that I became wringing wet all over. ' My whole system was so shattered and nervous that I scarce ly ever slept ur|til the small hour of the morning, and besides, my res was continually broken up becau of night rising, as my kidneys we. in a very weak, sluggish conditi Owing to this kidney trouble, in legs and ankles were swollen, an ’ even the joints in my wrists becam affected so I could hardly close nr hand. The muscles of my limb, would ache and when I started walk ing I would only be in misery. “Now, I want you to know I've taken almost every kind of remedy known for such troubles as mine, and various treatments, and I spent $5.00 a pmt for one kind of medicine—l>ut 1 kept right on suffering, and got worse as the years rolled by—and It wasn’t until I began taking Konjola that I finally realized I found what I needed. Oh. I wish I could have had this medicine 'before, as it surely would have saved money and suffering for me. I'm so thankful now for your Konjola I can't help but praise It. I tell you that every one of the miseries I suffered are gone, and I’m feeling better than any day I can remember in my life. The awful cramps in my stomach are gone, the heartburn and palpitation is relieved, and the pauig gone from mv chest. I eat without any thought of suffering afterward, and jt’s a blessing the way my food is building up my body to health again. All the kidney trouble Is gone, so I don't rise at nights, but rest without waking up once. The swelling has gone down from my legs and ankles, pains' have disappeared. and I can even run now, where before I could hardly walk, because rf!y limbs are absolutely free of all misery of any kind. The pains are gone from my back and my hands are not swollen, and I can turn out as good a day’s work as any man half my age. "I Know what Konjola will do for anyone who suffers like I did. and as I said, I want everybody to know about' it, for It ended 35 years of health troubles for me, and I’ll gladly tell anyone personally about my case.” 1 / The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Ftreets, Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and intro-ducing-And explaining the merits of this remedy.

a given list of plays that have been branded unsavory. Nine must vote the death penalty and suspended sentences are handed out under certain promises of better behavior. They have, in this, the cooperation of the Actors’ Equity Association, Thus far “The Bunk of 1926.” a musical revue, is the sole candidate for the noose. Changes were ordered in “Sex," “The Shanghai Gesture’’ and “The Great Temptations.” “Lulu Belle” remains to be seen or obscene, as the case may be.

Mae West, a rather clever young lady out of vaudeville brought "Sex" to Broadway. It was followed by a great nose-holding fest on the part of the critics. It was a most ordinary piece, dragged in by its name and using obscene “shocker” methods. In spite of everything that could be done, the public went. The play is a "success” from the box office standpoint.

“The Shanghai Gesture” as a play has little merit, but it reveals Florence Reed at her tempestuous best. Miss Reed, an actress of talent, seems destined to ally her name with an endless series of vulgar pieces. Like “Sex," the basis of this play is prostitution, which in addition to being "the oldest profession” seetns ’fast becoming the fondest subject for playwrights. “The Bunk” began most naively in a little theater way up in the residential section, with Gene Lockhart as author, impr’essario and what not. Then in stepped a newspaper editor, a publicity man and a couple of others, all determined to “build it up.” They used sensationalism as the medium for putting it over. The advertising was “suggestive” and the gals went about the audience playing “Eve" to the butter-and-egg Adams. In a measure it was victim of its own notoriety. It wasn’t a particularly “vulgar” show, but it made every effort at being considered naughty.

The producers have refused to accept the death verdict and have started injunction proceedings for “the freedom of the stage." As for Mons. Belasco, he has been turning out stuff that will do little good to a reputation which fast threatens to wane. Last season he gave Broadway an unforgivable bedroom production which was largely responsible for getting the district attorney's jury started. This year his contribution to art is “Lulu Belle,” which offers little new as a play outside its lines, which can scarcely come under tl#i innocent appellation of “naughty." Its leading excuses for existence are Lenore Ulric’s acting and the staging of a Harlem cabaret scene. Thus for the unsavory dishes served before the official jury. Yet these are productions “selling out” the house at each performance. So, as usual, the final censorship seems to be up to audiences, Vho have merely to stay away. THE WEEK OX BROADWAY An extraordinary crude piece entitled “Beyond Evil” opened at the Cort and was greeted by the only “booes” to be heard this season. The following evening a curious crowd gathered, attracted bv tales of this freak attraction. f The theater management had locked the doors. The producer demanded that the play go on. In the melee, with several police as principals, someone managed to get into'the theater vja. a fire escape and, so the story goes, was faced by a. watchman with a drawn gun. Unfortunately the gun was not pointed at the author. • • * From London comes a fine ensemble of diversified entertainers to make “The Merry World” quite the highest class of the Shubert productions. While this revue combines the talents of many parts of the world, Albert de Coureville, London entrepreneur, has brought back one

The Reach of the Spoken Word

T 7 HEN the small family group V V of primitive man expanded into the cave community, a means of communicating beyond the normal range of the voice became imperative. Then someone discovered that by making a speak-ing-trumpet of his hands, he could increase the reach of the spoken word, could add new effectiveness to the human voice. Other means of transmitting intelligence, in their turn, were found to serve the needs of man: the signal drum and the beacon fire; the written message, carried by nurner, by rider, by water or by rail; and finally, the telegraph.

ENTIRE SENATE HONORS MEMORY OF LAJLLETTE Service Provides Bold Contrast to Pennsylvania Election Methods. By N. D. Cochran, Timen Staff Correnvondent WASHINGTON. June 21.—An interesting contrast to the senatorial investigation of the expenditure in Pennsylvania of nearly three million dollars to buy a senatorial nomination was the special memorial service Sunday in the Senate in honor of the late -Robert M. La Follette. Nobody bought the nomination of La Follette; in Wisconsin. Nobody had to buy] it. His nomination always w.m the democratic will of the people of the State. Probably no Senator ever was so sincerely eulogized by all kinds of Senators as was La Follette. The tribute of a hard-boiled conservative like Moses was as feelingly expressed as the tributes of Norris. Wheeler. Dillon and Frazier. All of them teeyfled to the honesty, sincerity, courage and unselfish service to country of the greatest progressive of them all. The eulogies of Borah of Idaho and Reed of Missouri w >re rarely eloquent; Reed delivered his speech without notes and it will probably go down in Senate history as one of the Senate classics. He pleaded with his fellow Senators to emulate the character of th£ man they so eloquently eulogized. Borah, too, delivered a classic..

with La Follette they admired his sincerity and devotion to the principles he advocated and really loved him as a, man were evidently sincere and came from the heart. The tributes lacked the usual bunlc and hokum that characterize conventional obituaries. Altogether It was a remarkable tribute to a man whose public and private life was as clean and wholesome as that of any public man in American history. The contrast between the Republicanism of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania was striking. Today the country’s eyes are again drawn to Pennsylvania, where Senators buy what Wisconsin freely gives her devoted sons.
