Making Several Visits to Show Folk Now on View at the Local Theaters

Have been doing a little visiting this week in Showland. Lot of interesting people in local Showland this week. It never rains but it pours and we have a most interesting list of stage visitors. Itae Samuels knows that she can not have her husband on tour with her because he is an important figure in the vaudeville booking world in New York City. So this comedienne of song has adopted a child, one of the cutest ever. “I tell you that he is now my boy," Miss Samuels told me. "To the world and to him he is my boy." And so this woman goes on scattering sunshine. She does not call it charity, and would raise an awful fuss if it was so considered. This child has everything in the world. About the happiest youngster I have ever seen. He has been on the stage only once, and that was at Keithti Monday afternoon, • when he toddled on the stage to throw his arms around his "mommer.” The suite of Miss Samuels at a downtown hotel looks more like a nursery than the apartment of one of the highest priced women in vaudeville. In addition to her pianist and friend, Miss Samuels carries a "troupe,” consisting of a maid, a governess for her son and about all the toys in the world. Jack Broderick, also at Keith’s this week, is an Indianapolis artist who has actually fought his way. to the top of the vaudeville ladder. Broderick studied some years ago with Mile. Theo Hewes and since then he has made rapid strides through careful study and work. His season does not close until June

the Theta Phi Kappa fraternity. He, too, has made good. Abhough Dave Vine is not of Indianapolis, he is a yearly visitor to this city. This week he is at the Lyric. For years his wife has been with him, but at present she has retired because of illness. Vine is a comedian of fine understanding. He takes personality, a story, and then, by putting his personality into the comedy, makes the story a classic of comedy, both as to subject matter as well as method of delivery. LOOKING OVER NEW EVENTS AT THE PALACE Unusual things are many times the most interesting when it comes to entertainment. A marimba or xylophone orchestra may not be something entirely new, but it is novel enough in these days of Jazz band* that the melody produced carries a warmth that is different and most pleasing. The six men in this orchestra do not offer a very large selection of melodies, but what they do play is certain to please. Miml and Pomme the dancing team are a capable pair and their work is nicely done. The woman has the advantage in that she is splendid when it comes to a nigh kick or a difficult bend in a dance. Pillard and Hiller are a couple of comedians who provoke quite a few laughs with their eccentricities. For comedy the little sketches presented are best. One or two of these provide a good comedy kick. Also in the act are two young women, who offer several excellent song and dance numbers. The final scene

of this act has plenty of color and is probably the best looking number offered. Kranz and Walsh, two men, offer several songs and much comedy. Are good for a laugh once in a while. McCormack and Wallace have a ventriloquist act in which both the man and woman make the little dolls sing and talk. The act is presented in a school room and the students are the funmakers. The Three Silvers open the bill with dancing and acrobatics. "Jim the Conqueror" is the photoplay feature, with Boyd and Elinor Fair. Included are news reel and comedy. At the Palace today and tomorrow. (By the Observer.) Indianapolis theaters today offer: "Lilac Time," at English’s: Rae Samuels at Keith’s; Dave Vine at the Lyric; Pillard and Hiller at the Palace; "The Trap,” at the Isis; “The Demi-Bride,” at the Apolfß; "Children of Divorce,” at the Ohio; "Venus of Venice,” at the Circle; Hulce at the Uptown and burlesque at the Mutual.

TELEVISION TEST STIRS INTEREST Fascinating Vista Opened by New Device. Dll United Press NEW YORK, April B.—A new vista of human communication was opened today by the latest triumph of science, television. The eye as well as’ the voice now can be flung through space, so that human beings, miles apart—even thousands of miles apart—can con>verse and see each other as though they were face to face. The fascinating possibilities of the achievement of American Telephone and Telegraph Company engineers were scarcely realized fully by those who attended the first public demonstration of television here yesterday and watched Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover's face on a screeen while his voice boomed out through a loud speaker discussing the marvels of the invention.

Dii United Press LONDON* April B.—British aviation experts are wondering wliethef steam airplanes may not be the next great advance in the problem of flight. A close watch is being kept on experiments in France, where Henry Robart, a French inventor, claims to have invented a lightweight steamengine plant suitable for use in airplanes. It is claimed for the steam aero engine that it will develop full power at high altitudes, is cheap, silent and reliable. Utilizing his invention, it is said, seaplane liners of huge size become a possibility in the not distant future. Anderson Girl Hurt Du Times ttnecial ANDERSON, Ind., April 8.
