‘CRADLE SONG 1 AT ENGLISH’S K (Continued From Page 8) culminating in a sudden murder. But the aftermath is relieved by the saving grace of humor, and a dashing polo player, two attractive flappers and a typical American boy with his faithful dog bring a touch of youthful charm to the play. “THE COCOANUTS” TO BE SEEN AT ENGLISH’S Irving Berlin, who wrote the music and lyrics of “The Cocoanuts,” is known as America’s favorite composer, and his compositions sell into the millions. He has his own music publishing business to take care of the extraordinary sale of his songs. Loud and chaotic is the humor of “The Cocoanuts,” but relentless in its accumulative effect. There is no gentle satire, but stinging and mordant and fairly bitter in its contempt for the stupidities of American commercial life. But so cleverly is it presented by those four Marx Brothers comedians, that the robust humor is paramount, and the audience is heartily laughing at itself all the while. In fact, an evening of “The Cocoanuts” is about all the average man can endure in one evening—the humor is so lavish and so rowdy. “Cocoanuts” comes to English’s for three nights only, Nov. 10-11-12.

Eva Tanguay With an entirely different type of an act than she offered here on the occasion of her last visit to Indianapolis two years ago, Eva Tanguay is coming to the Lyric the week of Nov. 6, bringing with her a cycle of new songs and the most lavish outlay of costumes of the* sort which she alone can create. For consummate showmanship and sheer personal magnetism Miss Tanguay is still the peer of all vaudeville comediennes and the greatest box office drawing card that vaudeville has ever known.

HISS LA PLANTE OPENSAT OHIO (Continued From Page 9) vues. A cast of twenty principals anl ballet staged by Senia Gluck people this fine show. POLA’S LATEST DUE AT APOLLO “The Woman on Trial,” Pola Negri’s latest production, a poignant, dramatic battle of hearts in the famous Parisian Latin quarter will be the attraction at the Apollo next week, the program also containing a Mack Sennett comedy, “For Sale— A Bungalow,” the Fox news weekly, Emil Seidel and his Apollo Merrymakers with Cliff Williams, soloist, featuring “My Wife Is Now in Europe,” and an organ innovation by Ray Winnings. Mauritz Stiller, celf.o, od European master of the cinema art who showed what he is capable of doing in his initial American production, “Hotel Imperial,” directed “The Woman on Trial.” The story, adapted from “Confession” a stage p?ay by Ernest Vajda, Hungarian dramatist who has an imposing series of hits to his credit, deals with a woman’s tremendous sacrifice for the man she loves and an even greater for her child, the offspring of a loveless marriage. The scenes shifts from the romantic poverty of an artists’s studio to the mansion of a wealthy man, including as one of Jhe high lights of the picture, a great courtroom sequence in which the heroine bares her soul after being accused of a murder committeed to avenge the theft of all she holds dear. While “The Woman on Trial” is essentially a romantic drama, the fashion element has not been overlooked, for Miss Negri parades gowns that are the latest and most lavish creations of the modiste’s art. In her support are such capable players as Dinar Hanson, Arnold Kent, Andre Sarti, Valentine Zimina, Baby Brock and Sidney Bracey. LON CHANEY ON VIEW AT THE ISIS “Flesh and Blood” a melodrama packed with reailism which has Lon Chaney as its star in a role which brings into play all his histrionic ability as well as providing an opportunity for one of his best and most impressive characterizations, will be shown at the Isis the first half of next week. Irving Cummings directed this picture in which Chaney appears as an unfortunate victim of a power high in financial circles—a victim railroaded to prison on a trumped up charge, and who emerges blighted physically and mentally, harboring the sole idea to gain revenge for his persecution. Noah Beery, Ralph Lewis, Edith Roberts, Jack Mulhall, Kate Price and Wilfred Lucas compose an all-star cast in Chaney’s support. “The Leopard’s Trap,” the eighth episode of the serial, “Perils of the Jungle” and a comedy, “Fleshy Devil” will be other program features. With the remarkable record of being elevated to the position, of a full fledged star in Western thrillers after but one year of service on the screen, Buzz Barton, a thirteen-year-old youngster, makes his initial bow wearing his stellar honors in “The Boy Rider” a spectacular drama which will be on view the last half of the week, starting Thursday. In “The Boy Rider” young Barton, who is adept at all the tricks and stunts that go to make a cowboy star, pits his wits against a gang of outlaws, thwarts the kidnapping of a pretty girl and gives valuable aid to Dan Cupid in culminating a touching romance. In the cast are Loraine Eason, Sam Nelson, Frank Rice and David Dunbar. The comedy will be a Fox farce entitled, “A Kangaroo Kimona.”

Cup Will Be Given in Big Contest Second Annual One-Act Play Tournament Is Announced, The second annual Little Theatre High School one-act play tournament will be /held at the Playhouse, Nineteenth and Alabama Sts., Indianapolis, on Dec. 16 and 17, 1927. This year’s tournament will be conducted much along the same lines as was the tournament of last year. Three one-act plays will be presented at each session. Three judges will witness 'these productions and select the best play according to a standard set as follows: 50 per cent for presentation. (Meaning, interpretation or “how well the idea of the play is gotten over.”) 25 per cent for acting. 15 per cent for direction. 10 per cent for selection. When all of the contesting productions have been presented the judges will award the following prizes: The Little Theatre cup to the best presentation of a one-act play. Other prizes will be awarded for the next best presentation. Girl displaying most talent. Boy displaying most talent. The following rules will govern the tournament: The contest is open to all commissioned high schools in the State of Indiana. Players must be qualified as high school students and may not have been posting m<Jre than one semester. An entrance fee of $5 will be charged each group. Registrations will be entered in the order in which they are received. Only fifteen groups can be accommodated in the tournament. Entrance fee, registration blanks and all scene, property and light plots must be in the hands of the tournament director not later than Dec. 1, 1927. Scenery and ordinary property and lighting effects will be furnished by the Little Theater. Special effects and properties may be arranged for if the matter is taken up with the tournament director. The program will be made up by a committee of which George Somnes, director of the Little Theater, is chairman, with due consideration of a well-balanced bill. This committee will be supplied with the names of the plays only and not with the name of the school making the presentation, so that its judgment will be influenced by nothing except to arrange a bill that will have variety and make an interesting program. Each group will be allowed sufficient time for a complete accuracy and property rehearsal. Ample time will be allowed for the actors to gauge their voices and become otherwise familiar with the stage. The same play cannot be used by two competing schools during the contest. The group first submitting the name of a play will have the exclusive use of that play during the tournament. Address all communications to Areligh Waltz, the Playhouse, 1847 i N.

LOAN DECREASE FAILS TO STOP USTJjEACTION Sentiment Remains Bearish Due to Bethlehem Steel Reports.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Thursday was 183.96, off .82. Average of twenty rails was 137.23, off .55. Average of forty bonds was 98.72, up .05. By United Press _ . NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—A decrease in brokerage loans of more than $40,000,000 failed to prevent a drastic reaction on the stock market today. Sentiment was still bearish due to the adverse report of Bethlehem Steel Corporation and to the decreases being registered in railroad and corporate earnings. The day began with prices steady to firm but heavy offerings of General Motors following a break in United States Steel and Bethlehem unsettled the list and caused a general reaction. Du Pont Down Lower earnings reported by Du Pont brought that issue down 10 points. Atchison, which registered a heavy drop in net income for September was also off radically, while other rails broke in proportion. Insurance stocks and some of the baking issues held up through the selling, as did a few specialties. Wall Street was frankly disappointed over the market responses to the decrease of $90,000 in brokers’ loans reported in the weekly statement given out after Thursday’s close. Stock Liquidation This substantial decrease allowed considerable enthusiasm in speculative circles. Coming at a time when bond offerings were at the highest levels of the year, it was regarded as particularly significant evidence of stock liquidation, which must have reached large proportions to so far outweight the increase in borrowings on bond collateral. This line of thought brought active short covering and good buying in the early dealings. But large offerings took advantage of the price improvement which this brought about. When it was seen the market would not rally on the loan decrease, aggressive professional operations for the decline were resumed.

In the Cotton Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The cotton market opened 30 points lower tills morning and throughout the enttire morning was called upon to stand liquidation and hedg* selling, which It did In a fairly creditable manner. We think that the poor technical position to which we drew attention Thursday has been partially corrected, but not suyeciently to bring tne marke to a point where further declines of the nature of the one witnessed today may not occur. Wather Is favorable and such cotton as remains In the fields Is doing well. A trading market is Indicated for a day or two. NEW ORLEANS High. Low. Close.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK. Oct. 28.—Weakness manifested itself at the outset and continued practically throughout the session. The declines were orderly but nonetheless Impressive. News of a lay off of men by Colorado Fuel and Iron was not encouraging. Reports of earnings of a number of arge corporations were published and almost all reflected the setback in business. On the other hand general trade r.-ports are showing a little pick up and while of not any great moment they might under other circumstances have been given some importance. From all appearance*, the movement Is on to close (he gap between market and actual values pf n long list of securities. Such gaps aie always closed sooner or later and there Is no reason to assume that the natural order of thing* has been changed. Two and two contliv—to make four and not five or six as recent speculative enthusiasts have been trying to have us believe. When the market gc** back to an actual two and two basis it will be time to consider the usual Items of trade news In their normal relation to values. If the orgy of the past months were to be corrected In a day or a week. It would Involve a (Udine that would ba momentous. Fortunately It Is more gradual In Its operation but will take longer to go the distance. We believe the return journey Is being taken and feel that commitments should be arranged to accompany it.
