Playhouse Gets Good Opening Little'Theatre Starts Season With Fable by Pinero. Love is the turning point in the lives of Oliver Bashforth and Laura Pennington. Love clothes the characters in a mantle of unreality anu sends them soaring and then — brings them to earth with a crash. “The Enchanted Cottage” is the story, or fable if you will, of a battle scarred soldier and a woman that is very plain. It is a fantaey that makes them beaUtlYul io e4ch other, but lets others see no pn/air?! change. Oliver Bashforth is the recluse, a man broken in the war. Hiding himself in a remote English village away from his mother and step-father. Reginald Garstang is cast as the misshappen soldier. While he is weak on some few technical points he gives a very good performance. In the moments of sorrow and pathos, Garstang handles himself admirably. Mrs. George T. Parry, who makes her first appearance in this play, has the part of the plain Laura. At first she seemed a bit shy or perhaps frightened, but *as the performance went on I felt that she worked into the role and at the finish she was completely in the part. As the woman of many affairs and mucjx small talk, 'especially about her first husband, Mrs. Robert C. Winslow was excellent. I was reminded more of the small town gossip, that of the society woman by the rapidity of her speech, but

!$ RESTORED TO NEW HEALTH AND PRAISES KONJOLA Illinois St. Man Tells How This Medicine' Ended His Suffering. “I have the best reason in the world for praising Konjola, because this medicine actually- cleared up the catarrh of my stomach and my weight has increased from 122 pounds to 142 pounds during the time I took the six-bottle treatment.”

This remarkable statement came fVom Mr. T. C. Hewitt, 130 S. Illinois St., Indianapolis, who recently called on the Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., this city, and volunteered to testify that this new Konjola medicine had completely ended his health troubles. Mr. Hewitt’s statement further reads: “I had one of the very worst cases of stomach trouble that any one could suffer. My system was full of catarrhal poisoning and the food I ate never did me a bit of good. Asa result, I was losing weight very rapidly. I couldn’t sleep at night or any other time, and it was almost impossible for me to do any kind of work. My kidneys were disordered, which caused rising at night, and I was suffering almost constantly with headaches. This was mostly due to constipation. My health was going down hill, and, worst of all, I couldn’t find a medicine that would help me. I didn’t know what to do next. „ “Then I noticed the reports other people were making about Konjola, and I decided to try it, simply with the idea of finding out if all these claims could be true. I had no idea this medicine would end my troubles, but the first week I was surprised at my new feelings of health. I could actually see a difference in the way I looked. The tired, drawn look was leaving my face; I began to eat like a hungry child and my food was doing me good because the stomach trouble was disappearing. At the same time, Konjola seemed to clear my system of poisons that amazed me. I could sleep better at night, and when I got the second bottle my faith in this medicine had increased a hundredfold. Now I, have made a fair trial of Konjola and I am completely out of misery and restored to new health. I am never troubled with night rising or any kidney disorders. Headaches do not come and I am free of constipation. There is no sign of catarrhal poison in my stomach, and my digestion is perfect. “I want to say once more that my weight increased from 122 to 142 pounds, a gain of 20 pounds in less than two months. This alone is worth a hundred times the price of Konjola to me. lam indorsing this compound because I know what it will do.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold by every Hook drug store in this city and the best druggists of all nearby towns.—Advertisement.

Geraldine Farrar

On Sunday afternoon at the Murat, Geraldine Farrar will make her first concert appearance in this city in a number of years. The program has been so arranged that she will have many language groups. it was nevertheless clear. She was cast as Mrs. Smallwood, the mother of Oliver Bashford. Interesting Cast The part of the friend who was blinded in the war was filled by W. : Austin Bruce. His part which is of major importance in the continuity of the play is weak. He rises to quite a dramatic height in his scene where he tells the parents of the transformation in the bride and groom. * The scene is laid in a cottage in rural England. The story is one primarily of love, but there is much wit imbued; perhaps a bit caustic, or sardonic, as you like, but wit. j There is also a mystery implied. It is solved or explained satisfactorily. | Humor is lent by the presence of the minister who fears for his wife, land children; he has seven of them, and as he says, there is one now hovering between heaven and earth. He is the little busy, but absentminded type of person. Splendid Scenery The scenery for this, the first vehicle of the season for the Little Thatre Society, is admirably done. The lighting effects add materially to the result. In fact the dream is made by them. This dream I must confess had me stumped for a bit. It is a bit of melodrama and a wild conglomeration. but quickly was dissolved into a blur and left me highly mystified until I could collect my senses. It is so sudden, so unexpected. But improves immensely the dramatic tone. This is a difficult play to do, but not at all unworthy of the efforts of the society. It will serve as a stepping stone tc higher and more difficult productions. The Little Theatre is establishing itself more firmly than ever before. To be repeated at the Playhouse tonight, Thursday and Friday of this week. (Reviewed by Charles Garrison.)

CHAMLEE STRANGE CONCERT PUZZLE Operatic Tenor Tries to Be an Intimate Comedian Before He Lives Up to His Singing Reputation With the Metropolitan Opera,j > By Walter D. Hickman Mario Chamlee, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company, is u strange puzzzle in concert. Last night at Caleb Mills Hall lie suddenly became a comedian for no reason whatsoever during his concert with Miss Ruth Miller, soprano, and also of the Metropolitan.

During his first group of numbers, he smilingly told the audience that "it was warm up here” and then related it with gestures by using his .ttndkerchief on his face. Later on in the program, he noticed that a board squeaked and he spoke about it and then, when he found a wee hole in the board, Chamlee stated that he feared he might fall through it. I Such remarks during a concert are so revolutionary and so far from the traditional idea of how a grand opera singer should act on the concert stage that I expected Chamlee to become a magician and take a ! rabbit from his pocket. Personally, such behavior rather ruins the picture of song. A certain nervousness may have been the cause of the alleged comedy. To my way of thinking, a singer is “selling” his voice in song and not to “crack wise.” As to voice Chamlee has a voice of power and purity. He seems more at home in the majestic sweep in a scene from “Manon” in costume than in just a song. And yet, he did Kreisler’s “The Old Refrain” with so much feeling and with so much power that it became the commanding number of the first half of the program. He was equally fine as to voice while singing “Tell Me Why.” “Moon Marketing” also gave Chamlee a chance to project his voice in a sentimental oddity of light, but charming quality. Chamlee and Miss Miller really came into their own when, without any sets, but in costume, the two singers did the St. Sulpice scene from '“Manon.” Chamlee makes a gorgeous Des Grieux and Miss Miller a charming and beautifully distressed Manon. These two artists standing prac-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

tically upon a bare stage created the entire scenic picture by the way they read into melody the story of the scene. Here was big singing. Miss Miller in her program song showed that she was a splendidly trained singer. No fireworks here, but careful singing. Many of her numbers were in English. I am glad to see recognized artists singing more and more numbers In English on their concert programs. Chamlee and Miss Miller opened last night the musical season of the | Federation of Indianapolis Public School Teachers.
