LAUDER COMES TO MURAT FOR 2 PERFORMANCES Famous Singing Comedian Includes Indianapolis in Tour. Bransby Williams, the English actor ,and himself a man of notable cleverness In character roles, gives an Insight Into the stage methods of Sir Harry Lauder, the International entertainer, who comes to the Shubcrt-Murat Theater Wednesday, Jan. 12 matinee and night. "Watch the ordinary performer,” says Williams. "He makes his appearance in his own person, It isn’t until ho reaches the center of the stage that he assumes the character he intends to portray, Your great actor, on the contrary, assumes the character before he appears on the stage. “Edmund Keane always did this. When Henry Irving played Hamlet he was Hamleet from the moment he left his dressing room, and woe to any one, man or woman, who got In his way. No, If you ever have a peek-ln behind the scenes on a Lauder night watch that little Scot. Before ho makes his entrance he is singing and dancing and ‘getting into the character,’ and the moment he appears before the audience the character is recognized and applauded. There Is no bowing or scraping going on or coming off. This is art —and Harry Lauder has it." Williams also tells this story of Lauder. It was In the early days of the entertainer’s first engagement in London. He was dressing with another artist, when some comment was made upon the remarkable success achieved by Dan Leon, one of the most notable music hall performers of his time. "There's a chap as has made a big ’it,” says Lauder's companion. "Do you know what ’e's drawing down?" "No,” says Lauder. "Well,” was the reply, it’s a cool hundred and fifty pun a week.” v “Ay, that’s a lot o’ siller,” says Harry, musingly, as he looked up from his make-up table. "Ay, tha’s a lot o’ siller —but if Dan Leno can get it Harry Lauder can too." And it wasn’t so long before he got it, and more. MYSTERY BIRD PLACED Puzzled Zoo Experts Finally Classify Strange Fowl.

THE WOMAN’S DAY By Allen© Sumner

"Intellectual Death!” There will be no few jeers and scofflngs, ofi course, at the recent attempt of Smith College to "free wives and mothers from the Intellectual death imposed upon them by the job of housekeeping.” Most folks will turn a deaf ear to what Is happening down In this eastern college, although it’s probably the biggest thing, meaning the most for the human race, that has been undertaken in the pa3t quarter century. • "Sliaine on You!" It’s very simple. Smith has Installed what it calls an Institute for the Co-ordination of Women's Interests. It Is simply working for some adequate plan which will permit a girl of intelligence to be a wife which generally automatically means being a housekeeper, too, and to also have time and strength for more intelligence work. At this point the storm breaks. A wave of protest. A chorus of “shame.” The sentimentalists howl, "What task Is more worthy of an intelligent woman's capacities than the God-given one of home-making?" To which I make polite and firm reply, “Razzberries!’’ Now, Listen! You may or may not like It, but facts are that housework is the one job which morons and near imbeciles can do more efficiently than anything else. If you don't believe it, ask any social worker who places hordes of low-grade mentalities in kitchen jobs. Ask any doctor, any pschologist. A girl goes to college. She plans to teach or be an attorney or write, or sing or work in big business or doctor, and somehow or other she finds herself married. Because centuries of tradition have decreed that in this marriage partnership the man shall earn the wherewithal to

keep the house going, and the woman shall do the work in that home, the natural and usual outcome Is for the girl to become converted Into a houseworker. Exceptions, of course, many of them. But I am talking about the accepted sort of thing. A Moron’s -lob! So this girl with her bright, ingenious, creative mind Is given a moron’s Job —dishes to wash, iloors to scrub, cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing. As I say, many do not. "The new woman” who has made a’ name for herself by lawyering or nursing or painting sees no more reason why the Mrs. before her name should automatically change her Job for one of scullion any more than that her husband should stop judging and become a brick-layer. She accepts the responsibility for her home, yes. She hires the kitchen work done and keeps on at her own Job. In theory, it's dandy. But there's that little line "she gets help.” Try and get It! Sooner or later she finds that she is doing double duty. It’H too much of a good thing. Tradition assumes that the well-manuged home, which is her job, comes first. She gives up her outside job and stays home for dishes and dusty floor. They Don’t Marry! There are two results. Capable, trained, inteligent women are growing critical of this marriage business. They like their jobs. They loathe housework. Why swap tnFOR COUGHS and COLDS ra £> Tru-adE S - 3 Guaranteed! At Hook's I

terlor decorating for greasy dish water Just because of emotional appeal? They down the emotional appeal for a few years, when It die 9 a natural death or they are old enough to be so critical of all aspirants that there is little temptation. Then society prattles, "what will become of the race If the highest type of women will not marry?” The Divorce Mill Another result Is the divorce court. The girl who has "chucked" her selfexpressive, Intelligent work only to find herself a kitchen scullion, enlists the aid of the law to get out some way or other, and there’s another “broken home." Which is exactly why this venture at Smith is, one of the greatest things that has happened to the cause of womanhood since woman first learned that there was a job in the world for her other than housework.
