BERKELL OFFERS A BROADWAY HIT ALLNEXT WEEK Stuart Walker Arranges to Present a Smart Comedy. The Berkell Players at English’s starting Sunday will present “The Broken Wing.” The play is by Paul Dickey and Charles Goddard, and played an entire season in New York. “The Broken Wing” is primarily a love story, but Its extremely dran atic and its spectacular scenes make It one of the most effective stage spectacles ever produced. The scenes of the play are laid in old Mexico, with a darkeyed Mexican girl as the heroine. Although her country is famous for its romance, sho looks away from her country-men and longs for the love and companionship of an, American. As she utters a prayer that a big, handsome American might be sent to her, down comes a huge through the roof of her house. The pilot of the crashing car Is severely injured, and she tenderly nurses him back to health. In the course of his illness, she discovers that the pilot is the big, handsome American which she has been praying for, and her love goes out to him as only a Mexican with intensity of feeling can know. He also awakens to his deep appreciation for her, and they plan to mam*. However, the course of their love does • not run smoothly for a former suitor, a cunning Mexican, rebels at being so lightly cast aside, and he plans resistance. His opposition to their courtship furnishes many dramatic and humorous incidents. “The Broken Wing” is a really great scenic production, and the scene in which the air-plane falls, makes a highly entertaining addition to stock.

ROUNDING ROUND THFATFRS with Walter ±rl£jL\ IMP HICKMAN

The accomplishments of Stuart Walker are to any one city. He carries his artistry to many cities^ Wednesday of this week, I went to the Grand theater in Cracinnfeti, Ohio, to see the Walker production of Molnar’s “The Swan.” Although Walker has this play listed for Indianapolis this summer, I sincerely urge that he will actually present it at Keith’s here. y

In the years that I have Men telling you about the theater, I have never seen the artistry of Walker better reflected than in his production of “The Swan” this week in Cincinnati. “The Swan” was never presented here when it was on tour. It is a delightful comedy on the manners and love affairi of that all noble class in Austria, which no loqger functions in its grand way. The second act is the State dining room i scene which is about as | elebaorate as the State banquet scene in "Louie the Fourteenth,” which I saw in New York last summer. This scene is probably as beautifully well done as anything that Walker has acomplished. Cincinnati was so over the merits of this beautiful comedy that I actually saw many people turned away, Wednesday matinee, because no seats were available. People go to real shows in warm weather and the'Walker presentation of “The Swan,” comes under the head of real stage entertainment.

Os course, the big single draw in Cincinnati is McKay Morris in “The Swan.” Morris is cast as Prince Albert, a darling of the high set, who is a snob and very much of a makebelieve highbrow. He is a “regular cat” and Morris 'hoes a fine piece of character work in this difficult role of high and haughty moods. Am glad to record that Judith Lowry and Aldrich Bowker, oldifa-

History Filmed It looks like a great year for the famous lovers of history, with John Barrymore announcing he will make Francois Villon’s life into a film for United Artists, and Rudolph Valentino scheduled to bring Benvenuto Cellini into fllmdom after his “Son of the Sheik,”—and the greatest possibility in years, that Charlie Chaplin and Raquel Meller may do a picture based on the fives of Napoleon and Josephine.

.•. I—Vivian Tobin returns to the local Walker organization Monday at Keith‘\s to play in "Puppy Love.” No. 2—Florence (last and Boys at tlie Palace the first licit of the week starting Sunday afte) loon. No. 3—Emma Raymond will be among the important artists present at the Lyric ail next week, starting Sunday afternoon. No. 4—Robert* St. Clair will be in the cast of "The Broken W’ing” at English’s, starting Sunday night. \ vorltes here, have that same standing in Cincinnati. Mrs. Lowry as well as Bowker does some work in “The Swan” which stamps them as really big artists of the theater. France Bendtsen as Caesar, the head sen-ant in the house of royalty. who is sure that lie is as royal as they, again proves himself without an equal in this sort of role. A splendidly executed role In fun and satire. Margaret Douglas as the Prihcess Beatrice gave one of thpae sustained characterizations which leaves no doubt that she is a wonderful actresses of splendid draipatic power. The cast of “The Swan” as presented in Cincinnati by Stuart Walker is as follows: Dr. Hans Agi Elliot Cabot Arseno -ritobert Lindsey Geor*" Robert Hasi njaeger Princess Beatrice Margaret Douglas* Alexandra Ann Davis Father Hyacinth Aldrich Bowker Symphoros* Elizabeth Taylor Prince Albert McKay Morria Count Liitien Ben Smith Colonel Wunderlich Boyd Agin Alfred George Kinaey Caesar France Bendtsen Chambermaid Adelaide Kendall First Lady Elizabeth Gentry Second Lady Katherine Hall Fringe as Maria Dominica ... Judith Lowry Countess Sibensteyn Marie Healy Lackeys. Hussars. Muds. It Is my most honest wish that Walker will give Indianapolis a chance to see this splendidly smart comedy this summer with about the same cast that Cincinnati has. “The Swan” will make theatrical

history’ in Indianapolis. So let us have this masterpiece. I am not complaining at all on the many fine things Walker has given Indianapolis this summer but let us have “The Swan” if it lb possible. While in Cincinnati I saw the Zoo Opera at the Zoo present Italo MontemezzVs “L’Amore Del Tre Re” in Italian with Mabel Sherwood, Italo Picchi, Ernest Torti and Forrest Lamont. It is a dramatic poem set to as dramatic music, grand, powerful and sweeping in its dramatic intensity. I envy Cincinnati with Its orchestra and its summer opera. Will the time ever come when we will use our parks for the presentation of grand opera? It is worth a trip to Cincinratl this summer to get a night of opera at the Zoo. TRYING TO FIND OUT Screen tests are being made at the Paramount Long Island studio to decide whether to make Hazel Forbes a vamp or a coy ingenue. Miss Forbes, winner of a national beauty contest, has been signed to a~longterm contract, and her beauty, combined with her ability, is said to fit her for either role.
