FOUNTAIN SQUARE . THEATER IS GRAND

Builders of New Presentation Playhouse Brings the Uptown Idea to a Neighborhood Community: Opening Due Saturday Night. * BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Among the new wonders in this city is the Fountain Square Theater in Fountain Square in the south part of the city. Here is not only a beautiful theater from an architectural standpoint but it is one of the most individual houses I have ever seen. Personaliiy as well as Italian atmosphere has been breathed into this beautiful structure by Frank B. Hunter, architect, and the heads of the Fountain Square Theater Company—Louis B. Goulden, president and general manager, and Morris Horowitz, treasurer.

Although this theater will have its formal opening Saturday night at 7 o'clock, I visited the Fountain Square theater the other afternoon. On entering the theater one is struck even by the beauty of the lobby. Here you catch the Italian spirit as w “ll as the atmosphei - e which goes through the entire structure. The lobby is more or less formal with its stately Italian candelabra, the paintings on the wall, the tapestry and the like. But the big surprise comes when one walks into the foyer. Here you discover that the architect has struck a most original note. He has created the street of an old Italian city. It is so realistic that one feels he is walking in some quaint little street in Italy at night. Where other modern theaters have their great art galleries, the Fountain Square has its Italian street. Faint Italian music greets vour car and even the the delicate odor of orange blossoms. One climbs the quaintest old fashioned staircase which leads to the second floor. One can look down upon the street of the Italian town and then a few steps takes one into a corridor on the second floor. On the left is a marvelous.lounge ; with its comfortable furniture, won- j derful carpets and drapes. The j beamed ceiling has all been done i in fine Italian colors. To the east end of this big room I is the ladies’ room which is as dain-! ty in its furnishings and color as its I title. The west end houses the | manager's office and the men’s lounge. On entering the auditorium proper from even the second floor, one realizes the fact that he is in a beautiful Italian garden at night. The lights are constantly changing j and stars, even the dipper, peep out j over the blue sky. Where one would expect boxes, there one finds certain nooks con- j taining art treasures from Italian J gardens. I can tell you truthfully j that the interior of this theater is one of the most novel and striking | that I have ever seen. i And the seats are large and com-! sortable. Finely colored carpets give I one the impression of being in a ; palace as one looks out into a mar- ■ velous garden. The first floor of the auditorium , carries out the garden effect. There j is an orchestra pit containing a j pipe organ, one of those that rise j from the pit. \ The colors on the curtain match ! 'the brilliancy of the interior colors ; of the auditorium. No wonder that! the builders of this theater are j proud of one of the wonders of Indianapolis. The architect has been most wise i in making the main exit so that j people waiting to get into the theater will not encounter those going j out. It is the aim of Mr. Goulden and Mr. Horowitz to give Fountain Square an uptown city program with stage presentation and policy. For the opening weeks, Connie and his band, formerly at the Ohio theater, has been engaged as the stage band. Connie has arranged an interesting first program. In addition to the band, there will be Madame Hewes and her dancers; Charles E. Howe and the Skinner Twins with Connie as master of ceremonies. West Masters will be the featured organist at the Fountain Square. Johnny Phelps is the house manager. There is great beauty as well as novelty to be found in the Fountain

SEEKS CLEWS OF EARLY MAN Scientist to Visit Eskimos of Bering Strait. Itn Science. Service WASHINGTON, May 4.—Belief that ancient men bridging the gap between Asia and America may have left clews to their indentity and their manners near Bering Strait is taking Henry B. Collins, Jr., ethnologist of the United States National Museum, to St. Lawrence Island, which lies just south of Bering Strait. Mr. Collins’ one-man expedition left for Seattle today.

scientist to excavate in the island, though Eskimos living there have dug up a number of very old ivory harpoons and ornaments used by their forerunners. Collins will spend most of the summer locating ancient Eskimo villages and digging where excavations seems most likely to reveal traces of early inhabitants. St. Lawrence Island would be rather south of the direct line of travel across Bering Strait, Mr. Collins said, in discussing his expedition. But some of the prehistoric men who found their way across the short cut between. Asia and America, thousands of yeais ago, may have wandered to the island or stopped off there. At any rate, it is known that men have inhabited the island for many centuries. St. Lawrence Island is about 100 miles long, but it is now inhabited by only a small group of Eskimos.
