STUARTWALKER ■confesses™ WORLDIS ROUND Bill Fields, Press Agent, Writes Lot of Funny Show Stuff. By BILL FIELDS Press Representative for Stuart Walker Confessions, nowadays, rate more newspaper space than the more obvious forms of show publicity. Witness, for instance, Flo Ziegfeld’s recent confession that he started all stage nudity, and his modest appeal that the theater-going public support only clean musical shows, or, in other words, Mr. Ziegfeld’s girl and music frolics. Ever alert and watchful of an opportunity to crash the dramatic page, by fair means or foul, the Stuart Walker statistical staff sought out its employer and after three hours of terrific grilling, it is reported that Mr. Walker broke down and confessed;. 1. The business done by George Gaul in “Seventh Heaven” at Keith’s theater four weeks ago was only $10,421.50, instead of $15,914.30 as erroneously reported in Zit’s Weekly, the New York Review and the New Orleans Times-gicayune. 2. That the above week did not break the world’s record for stock receipts as previously announced by his imaginative press agent, and that the world’s record so far as he knows, still remains in the possession of a Hungarian tabloid troupe that presented a musical version of “Abie’s Irish Rose” in Vladivostok, Russia, in 1915. 3. That there are only three instead of thirteen Stuart Walker companies now in operation in the Middle West. 4. That “Outward Bound” didn't show much life when presented here last week and that the $7,462.14 business done by the play represents the lowest week of the current season. 5. That in spite of the fact that “Sex” was voted O. K. by the New York jury it will still not be presented in this city by the Walker company. 6. That he actually did receive threatening letters from individuals in Herrin, 111., and Atlanta, Ga., because of having presented “They Knew What They Wanted” in this city seve.-al weeks ago. 7. That he has taken out SIO,OOO and not $20,000 accident insurance on George Gaul and McKay Morris. 8. That both “Lazybones” and “Beggar on Horseback” Will really be produced here either this summer, the summer of 1927 or the summer of 1928. 9. That the' Stuart Walker Company matinee days are Wednesday and,Saturday instead of Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and that there are actually 631 seats on the lower floor every night at sl.lO instead of 630 seats, as advertised in the newspapers. 10. That a gentleman from Kokomo really did laugh so heartily and vigorously at “Applesauce” that he rolled out of his eat and half way down the aisle before being rescued by the theater’s valiant usherettes. _ 11. That the old theatrical gag about the three worst business weeks of any season being Holy week, the week before Christmas and Indianapolis should be amended to read Holy week, the week before Christmas and Dayton. After having made the above confessions and affixing George Somnes’ signature to them, Mr. Walker pushed a secret button on his desk and disappeared in a cloud of smoke while the agile statistical staff rushed pell-mell out of the office down ten flights of stairs.

BERKELL PLAYERS IN BROADWAY HIT ( Continued From Page 5) Walker’s offering at Keith’s theater, beginning Monday night. The play only recently Closed Its Broadway run and was classified as one of the successes of the past season. So far as Is known, the presentation here the coming week mil mark the first time that “Puppy Love" has ever been seen outside New Tork. Vivian Tobin and George Meeker will return here from Dayton for the principal roles in "Puppy Dove.” During, the past week these popular players have been appearing with Mr. Walker’s Dayton company in “Applesauce.” George Gaul and Mona Kingsley, who will close here tomorrow night in “Seventh Heaven,” will appear in the play in Dayton next week and after that engagement the piece may possibly be presented in Cincinnati for a two week’s run. Saturday night therefore, will be Mr. Gaul’s last appearance in Indianapolis for several weeks. In connection with the presentation of “Beggar on Horseback” in this city some time this month. Mr. Walker has received information from Anna Ludmilla that she will be glad to accept the “Beggar” engagement at the expiration of her present contract on the 25th of this month. Miss Ludmilla, as will be recalled, was premiere |anseuse of the Greenwich Village Pollies in New Toi'k and on the road. She was also the premier dancer with the Chicago Opera company for three successive seasons. It is very likely that when “Beggar on Horseback” is presented here that Miss Ludmilla nail have the dancing role in the pantomime number, a wrt that was played in the New Tork production by .Greta Nissen. who is now the principal dancer in the new Ziegfeld show "No Foolin’.” “Beggar on Horseback,” Mr. Walker assures this department, will be the really big and elaborate production of the current repertory season.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RIVERSIDE GETS READY TOR BIG HOLIDAYEVENTS Many Free Acts Booked for Fourth Celebration at Park. It seems that the throngs oi pleasure seekers of Indianapolis and tjie surrounding towns are making Riverside one of their natural hobbies. The crowds, in spite of the unsettled dAys and cool evenings, have been wonderfully fine and appreciative of the park’s best efforts to satis, fy them. There have been many additions and subtractions, all of which help make the park more beautiful and attractive. One of the latest additions was to "Lizzie,” one of the monkey family. x Archie W. Colter, manager, says the Fourth of July plans are so arranged that everybody will be taken care of. For people who are hungry, there will lie plenty of barbecue sandwiches given away. The many riding devices will be in the best of condition to meet the demands. One of the best and largest display of fireworks ever seen in Indianapolis will be shown. There will be a display on Saturday and one on Monday, the fifth. Music and dancing along with a "Western cowboy act and an East Indian sword swallower will complete the free act. Plenty of tables and benches will be arranged for the benefit of pionicers.

The latest addition to the zoo which is one of the most popular at that park this season is a bald eagle which was captured by George A. Johnson in a cornfield near Hope. Ind. The eagle which measures seven feet from tip to tip became entangled in the field and could not fly. Mr. Johnson with the aid of a friend succeeded in capturing the hugh bird after a fierce fight. A monkey-faced owl is also anew member of the collection. The management announces |that Wednesday afternoon and night STARTS WORK ON ‘UNCLE TOM’ Lois Weber has relinquished, for the thru being at least, her work on “The Sensation Seekers” to take ■ over “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Harry Pollard, in despair of his more rapid recovery, tasked Mr. Laemle to relieve him of his direction of the Harrit Beecher Stowe classic, and as soon as he is really Avell he will undoubtedly start on the production of “The Big Gun,” for which he is scheduled. Realizing Pollard's life ambition in regard to “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” Miss Weber is endeavoring in every Avay to film It as Pollard himself would have done.
