YOU CAN’T BLAME RED RIDING HOOD If Love Is Really Blind Then Some Lovers Should Wear High-Powered Glasses So They May See the Right From the Wrong. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN A modern song writer recently raised the point in a song that Little Red Riding Hood must have been a wise girl to keep the wolf from the door. But Little Red Riding Hood can not he blamed for the Avay

alleged innocents Chevalier Fabien Be Grienx and Manon Lescaut—carried on together in the name of true love. If true love in real life is really

The extent to which this new Konjola medicine is helping the people of Indianapolis and nearby towns has become the talk of the drug and medical trade of this section. Throngs are calling daily to

? \

MR. E. F. CORBITT see the Konjola Man at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., this city, and hear his porsonal explanation of this surprising compound. At the same time a never ending stream of voluntary indorsements and reports are being received from local people, describing the remarkable benefits they have derived from the use of this medicine. Recently the Konjola Man said: “This compound has proven vastly more effective in thousands of cases of ill-health than any previously known medicine. In this new day of science the medicine first must cleanse the system of all poisons and this must be done through the kidneys, liver, stomach and bowels. It takes a liquid preparation to do these things. In making Konjola we selected the juices of twenty-two of nature’s plants and herbs.” One of the latest residents of this section to make a public indorsement of Konjola is Mr. E. F. Corbitt, 209 North Warman Ave., who is widely acquainted in Indianapolis. “Konjola is a wonderful medicine,” said Mr. Corbitt, “It energized my whole system and built me up so that I am feeling better in general than I have in years. “My whole body was in a weakened condition and I was constantly bothered with a terrible cough that shook my entire body. I had rheumatism so bad in my arms that I could hardly raise them to my face, and really had little use of them. The aches and pains were so bad that I would lie awake at nights suffering and unable to sleep. I was getting worse every day and I began to think that because of my age, you see I am 82 years old, t would never be able to get my health back again. “Os course, the worst thing about my case was the fact that I could never And a medicine to help me. When I heard of Konjola I had no idea it would really end my troubles, but I made up my mind to try it anyway and now this statement will speak for itself. I am feeling like I never had a sick day in my life. Konjola has put new life in my arms and since I started taking this medicine all the aches and pains are gone. At my age I think it is remarkable that I can enjoy such good health. All my rheumatism is gone and I haven't been bothered with a cough for some time. My wife and I both claim it is the best thing that ever happened to us when we found Konjola. "It is really a pleasure to indorse a medicine which brings so much health to suffering humanity.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold in larage quantities at all Hook drug stores, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.—Advertisement.

of it because other people just will not let them alone. So they both arrive at that point where they both misunderstand each other. Both do a lot of suffering and emoting. I for one can not take this picture seriously and I can’t see how this brand of love is anything but a crime. But there is lot of license taken on the screen these days and some directors just love to make two young people suffer when, they get in love. And they sure do a lot of foolish suffering in this movie. It seems to me that John Barrymore has been called In to dignify a very old story of how two young oeople loved unwisely and did a lot of suffering. John and Dolores do a lot of fancy kissing in this movie and some that is not so fancy. But I should probably remember the point—that the only crime committed by these two people was that they really loved each other. Even the family name of Barrynot put over such stories for me. Miss Costello looks very sweet at times while she is fighting a complex for high priced jewelry. The cast is as follows: Chevalier Fahien De Grieux . John Barrymoore Manon Lescaut Dolores Costello Andre Lscant Warner Oland Compte Guillot de Morfontatne Sam De Grasse Jean Tiberge Holmes Herbert Louis XV. King of France. Stuart Holmes Le Due Deßlchelleu .. ..Bertram Grasbv Captain of Convict Boat ....Tom Santselil Marie Marcelle Corriay A Lav Brother Charles Clarv Baron Chevral Templar Saxe Landlady Eugenie Besserer Nana Rose Dione An Apache Noble Johnson A Convict Tom Wilson Personally, I will not remember this Barrymore picture. The story as adapted for screen purposes is weak, not consistent. As usual, be your own judge. But I have my own idea. About the most enjoyable thing in connection with the picture is the musical score as plaved by the Circle Orchestra under the direction of Edward Resener. Bill includes a news reel and two Vitaphone subjects. At the Circle. a st u CONSIDERING “THE HARVESTER” In all fairness to “The Harvester,” I must admit that the filming of any of Gene Stratton Porter's novels is a tough job. There is so much of the nature stuff in her stories mixed up with so much human melodrama that it is difficult to keep the human element on as high a level as the nature stuff. And “The Harvester" is no exception to this rule. I have had some time to think over this picture because I saw it at a private showing prior to its opening at the Ohio. It is fair to state that many of the nature scenes are beautiful, butterflies and all, but the director has permitted some melodramatic scenes to damage the good impression previously made by the nature scenes. It seems to me that the direction has been most incompetent. I know that an effort was made to get

• Verdict of Screen Events CIRCLE —“When a Man Loves” is not up to the John Barrymore standard, fault probably is the story. OHIO—The director and cast has failed to capture the spirit of the author in “The Harvester.” INDIANA—DoIores Costello plays the part of the vamp in “The College Widow,” but she fails to exemplify the character in its true sensee. APOLLO—George Bancroft and Fred Kohler are in the cast of “The Showdown.” This is a strong picture with a strong background of oil fields.

the right atmosphere because some of the scenes were taken at Rome, Ind. I may be all wrong with my Gene Stratton Porter idea but I cannot agree that the picture has been well cast. Those taking the chief roles are Will R. Walling, Orville Caldwell. Jay Hunt, Natalie Kingston and others. There are many, many people who have been charmed and delighted with the works of this author and I would like for them to write me and tell me if they think that the director and the cast has caught the real spirit of the story. I will admit it any time I am wrong, but “The Harvester” as a movie certainly did not come up to what I expected. Bill Includes a comedy, Connie and his band with Jimmy Hatton as soloist at the Ohio. a a a PRESENTATION SCORES AT INDIANA Doroles Costello fails to make George Ade’s comedy of college life ring true when she plays Jane Weatherspoon. in the picturazation of “The College Widow.” I find myself refusing to accept this woman as the right type for the vamp. Playing the part of the “bad boy” who disobeyed his father and went to another college is William

Collier, Jr. He makes a very fair Billy Bolton and appears to be working very hard in the football scenes. He Is much better than Miss Costello. The story is of \ school that didn't have a good football team. In fact they hadn’t had one in twenty years. But P lessor Jellicoe, played

m ' <sV £&

Dolores Costeilo by Douglas Gerrad, suggested than Jane can save her fathers’ place as president of the college by vamping a good team. So she does, and trys to keep each man in love with her without letting any of the others know about it. But Billy Bolton had fallen In love with her and the story of her adventuring comes out, but Jane prevails on the boys to play in the final game to save her father. Hiram Bolton comes from Europe to see his boy play against the school, which he is attending under a false name. To keep father from making so much racket Jane locks him up until the .game is over. And, of course, they will get married and so on. A much better staage play than the film variety. On the stage is the presentation, “Havana.” It is quite elaborate. The main attraction is Wally Jackson, who does some comedy dances that are knockouts. Being prevailed upon, he gives his conception of the Black Bottom. He says he got the idea at a hotel that was infestea with ants. And I believe him. George Dewey Washington, who is a very good Negro baritone, sings “On the Road to Mandalay” and “Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella.” He has an excellent voice. Dorothy Berke and Mario Naldi have a dance that is pretty. The Cuban Tango I think it is called. Backing up the dances is the chorus of the Boris Petroff Girls, who do some clever work. Charlie Davis and his orchestra play an arrangement of “Dream Kisses” that is sweet. I thought that the best number that they played was “Sorry.” The presentation is much better than the picture. At the Indiana—(By the Observer).

n tt THE OBSERVER MAY BE RIGHT George Bancroft has made a picture that, in my estimation, is better than “Underworld.” However, this is a different type, and deals with a type of men that have been portrayed on the screen but few times. “The Showdown” deals with men of the more primitive emotions. There is little love, but is great deal of passion in these characters that

have made this picture of the oil fields in the tropics. Bancroft plays the part of “Lucky” Dan Cardan, who has bucked the oil trusts all over the world and is trying to win against them in the tropics. He does a mighty piece of work. He is outwardly unemotional, but he leaves the feeling

that inside he is tensely passion. Evelyn Brent is cast as the wife of Wilson Shelton, who is trying to make his fortune in oil. Miss Brent has a difficult part and does not give it the delineation that it should have. However, she has not fallen from the heights that she created for herself in “Underworld.” Fred Kohler plays the part of Hans Winter, who tries to balk every move of Cardan’s. Kohler and Bancroft stage a fight that bespeaks of brute more than man. It is the greatest fight that I have ever seen on the serene. So realistic was it that I felt like cheering, and I am not given to that sort of thing. Leslie Fenton Is in the Cast The atmosphere of life in the raw is lent by the presence of "Goldie”, played by Helen Lynch. This is a girl of the dance halls from down the river. Strangely enough she is in love with Cardan. Miss Lynch plays her part exceedingly well, making Goldie a person of flesh and blood, and Hmriously hard. Perhaps part of the

Song Book Becomes Famous Chaliapin Glorifies Soul Music at Murat Theater. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN “Now I will sing No. 34.” Those were the words of Feodor Chaliapin, basso, when he told his audience at the Murat Sunday afternoon that he was about to sing “Mephisto’s Song of the Flea.” This singer has no printed program of his numbers but he gives those attending his concert a “Book of Songs,” a total of 109 numbers. Chaliapin has the theory that “no one should listen to a song sung in a foreign language unless he knows the motive that inspired the composer.” And this singer gives one time to study the words of the song. While the audience is "reading up” on the number he is about to sing, Chalipin looks over a score on the piano or just watches the audience and waits until eyes leave the book and rest upon him again. As most of his numbers are In a foreign language, this unique method of the singer is absolutely right. And yet I believe that on can catch the great soul beauty of all of his songs of the heart or even his comic songs by just seeing and hearing him. Chaliapin is the only singer I know that has given me the impression that the piano on the stage is more than just a thing to keep him on the pitch. He makes

the piano a part of his own being and mood in each number. Often, he swayed and beat time with his little finger of his left hand on his vest. One can easily tell the mood of the song before he starts singing by just watching him get into the spirit of the number. I am sure that he is the greatest individual singing dramatic artist in recital on the concert stage. That is, he is the greatest of all that I have heard. He puts more soul Into his work than any one I have ever heard in concert. Proof of that was the way he gave his audience “No 76” or “The Volga Boat Song.” I really felt that I would feel the spirit of a nation trying to push over the top the ship of state. He sang this number, as he did all of them, straight from the heart. His voice was splendid and he seemed to enjoy the opportunity to sing. He made Massenet’s “Elegy” one of the most soulful experiences I ever have had. When he wanted volume he had it and plenty and when he wanted a lyric echo it came just as easily as the volume. There was gigantic moving beauty both in “The Two Grenadiers” and “When The King Went To War” or No. 25. His stage mannerisms are as Individual as his voice. He Is both a great singer and a great actor. And he can be a comedian as well, as shown by “The Miller” and “The Government Clerk.” I can say with ease that Ona B.

Talbot has never brought an artist to Indianapolis who gave a more satisfactory concert and few that came up to the overwhelming artistry of this man in song. He sure made an emotional wreck out of me and left me so much up in the air that It took me over an hour to shake off the effect of this concert. Max Rabinowitch was at the piano. He is splendid both as a soloist and while playing for Chaliapin. This Chaliapin concert will always remain one of the highest spots of any Ona B. Talbot season. Only one thing is to be regretted —too many people were not present to hear this man.
