Police Chief Claude M Worley end safety board members were pleased with the reception given the <5 second “walk” period for pedestrians Monday at Illinois, Meridian and Pennsylvania St. intersections. “After the public gets used to it there will be less confusion and disregard for the system. I was well pleased with the working of the plan the first day,’’ Worley said. Urges Speed in Walking Traffic Captain Lester E. Jones plans to continue the educational campaign against jay-walking for several days. Mayor L. Ert Slack and safety board members spent several hours observing Washington Sr. traffic Monday. “Pedestrians should aid the new plan by getting from one sidewalk to another as rapidly as possible Traffic is being held up for their convenience ani- protection and they should > not stop and visit in the of the thoroughfare,"’ said Ira P.

Skin eruptions successfully treated from ‘within

SKILLED physicians recognize the appearance of pimples, boils and other skin eruptions as sbeing an indication of an abnormal condition of the system. This is why so many thousands have been enabled to free themselves of these unsightly blemishes and painful skin annoyances by taking a course of S.S.S. You owe it to yourself and friends to give S.S.S. a trial. It helps Nature build rich, red blood—those vitalizing elements in the blood that build and sustain the body.

IGAUL IS AS GREAT AS BARRYMORE AS MILT I The Stuart Walker Company Is Making Stage History in This City by the Way They Are Presenting ‘The Copperhead’ at Keith's. f'l BY WALTER D. HICKMAN HAVE seen Lionel Barrymore as Milt Shanks in “The Copperhead” and I have seen George Gaul play the same role twice. Again, I tell you about Gaul as Milt in the same play and'l am ready to state that the character, the shades, the meaning as well as the theater is now so much a part of Gaul that he is as great in the part as the member cf the “royal family.” There i3 a mental heritage new to the concept’on of the Milton Shanks of Gaul. There is that quiet understanding of the man who did “service” tor President Lincoln and was sworn in for that duty which brought suffering and a great feeling of complete loneliness by Lincoln placing his hand on the American flag.

Os course, "The Copperhead,” is sure-fire theater, even gorgeous sympathetic theater. There is a historical tear in the text and even fine people of that day, real people, come before you on the stage. As I have told you about this play several times, even when Barrymore was in it and when Gaul first did the role in Indianapolis, it is not necessary’ to die-euss the play /s play at this time.

But this I am sure of. You have big great human acting on the part of Gaul. It is in the close of the third act that just by a suggestion of stage business, Gaul mounts the staircase of great, consumate acting. And then in the final act when he gives his reason for

/T

suffering, this man George Gaul again trods the stairs of great acting. Here is the tear. Here is the theater cf the roul. Here is the pla around of loneliness leaving the man. Plere is big great acting done in quiet, honest response to both tradition and the stage. Can I pay a higher compliment? There is cutston-'T'- ‘wcrm li” work on the part of Carlotta Irwin as Grandma Perley who spills the theory of loyalty and right living m grand “Cohan” style in the first act. Here is makeup, voice and understanding of the theater that will make the work of this woman one of the mo: pleasant memories cf the season. Larry Fletcher as Newt Gillespie has a chance to go into real characterization in the third .and' fourth acts. When he is aged, war torn and much on the old side cf the ledger of hate, rietcher is at his best. Must call attention in all fairness to the Captain Hardy of William Ingersoll, especially in the last act. Here is good acting that, will linger in yo* memory box. The Ma Shanks of Marie Adels is not as yet a rounded character. She doesn't seem to get the “soil” quality which made “Ma” so vital to the history of womanhood of another day. She did not come up to my conception of the character in the first two acts. I believe that when she gets into tigs character she hray be able to 'do convincing work. But last night she missed the history, the tradition, the longing, the mother love that this character so much demands. As Madeline King in the third and final act.

“I suffered from impure blood —was weak, and I had lost so much weight, I didn’t look natural. I had pimples and was also bothered with a breakingout that itched terribly. I also had boils one after another. I tried different kinds of remedies, but nothing did me any good until a friend advised me to take S.S.S., which I did. This waa some time ago. Now I feel well, and I am getting along fine. S.S.S. stopped the itching and it cured me of boils. I advise all weak and run-down people to give S.S.S. a trial. It clears up the skin and makes you strong and fills you with energy.”— Mrs. J. W. Barker, 1337 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

she was magnificent even to dress. So, Miss Adels accomplishes two things in this show (as judged by last night)—by being not so good in several acts and magnificent in two. There are numerous people in the cast. From a sc#nic standpoint, whoever was responsible failed to denote by scenery the effect of war cn the Milt Shanks place. I can’t understand that. And the failure, or rather the energy of electricity, by causing a light to go on before the match was applied,- made a comedy of a serious moment and a serious mood of Miss Adels in the last' act. I can not excuse such things in the Stuart Walker Company, even cn an opening night. But the scenic conception is all wrong in the second act. And that should not be in a Stuart Walker Company production, where I expect penection. ‘ The Copperhead” is gloriously done by Gaul and Carlotta Irwin. Mow at B. F. Keith’s. o a a ‘ APIS" YIELDS TO STOCK PRODUCTION ‘ Abie’s Irish Rose"’ probably has been presented more often in Indianapolis than other show. It ran for weeks and weeks as a special read production at the Capitcl Theater here. Asa legitimate road shW attraction in season "Abie” has played this city many times, twice last sea-

son and carried eff most important winning coin, according to Aa r’. Miller, who is an autnority on wnat shows do. 'ill,s weak Chanes Bergen at Lsh’s is giving tne first stoex production ct ’nJie ’ in this city. We arc concerned at this time with tne way a stock organization puts on this hit. Argue as much

Milton Byrcn

as you want to. “Abie” is a hit, and it is human theater, regardless of what the highbrows and the near highbrows have argued for years. Seme people boast that they will go to their grave never see.ng Abie. l for one have seen it fourteen times. This play is a typical racial cast show. It is difficult to cast for stock, especially where there are no Hebrew actors. "Abie’s Irish Rose” to besuccessfully presented must have those basic racial qualities which bring the tear as well as the laugh. "Abie” is not burlesque. It is comedy. There is sincere heart tone to “Abie.” I figure that the role of Solomon Levy is the most difficult to cast in stock and Milton Byrcn last night proved my contention. Bryon made an honest effort, not to burlesque Solomon, but it was difficult to keep away from it, Solomon is a big heart character. He has strong prejudices and he is honest in them. Byron overacts the role, but I believe that most actors in stock organizations would do the same thing. I do not blame Mr. Byron. He should never have had the role. Solomon is not burlesque, but real character study. And yet in this play, there is a comedy and even a burlesque character, that Isaac Cohen who is attached to Mrs. Isaac Cohen, his wife. Mrs. Cohen is always talking about her operation. It is to be said that William Worswick as Cohen is giving the best characterization in this production. Here is an overacting comedy role with a strong touch of burlesque and Worswick is certainly giving it these qualities in good measure. His makeup is such that he gets an V>vation the second he shows his face. Nice straight legitimate performances are given by Edythe Elliott as Rose-Mary and by Robert St. Clair as Abraham Levy. St. Clair does not attempt dialect and he is right in that. He dresses the char-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Verdict of the Stage ENGLISH’S—“Abis’s Irish Rose” probably will break the house record this season at this house. "Abie” yields to stock easily. B. F. KEITH’S—The work of George Gaul in “The Copperhead" is as great as Lionel Barrymore, who created the role in New York. You will remember the work-of Carlotta Irwin as Grandma Perley as long is you live. Great work cn the part of both. Not tc be missed. LYRlC—“Oklahoma” Bcb Albright tops the bill with a singing act that is good. The Erma Powell presentation is musical with several novelties in it.

acter modern and well. And that is right. The gowns cf Miss Elliott are beauties. Larry Sullivan, I think, overplays the comedy relief in the character of Patrick Murphy, even to makeup, although his makeup is enough to stock the show. Sullivan, in all fairness, is giving a successful laugh performance of this role. And I must tell you that the twins used in the last act are real live baby twins. Bob Fay as Father Whalen and Harry Hoxworth as Dr. Jacob Samuei? ; play their roles with quiet and honest understanding. The makeup of Mildred Hastings as Mrs. Cohen is splendid. "Abie’s Irish Ross” docs yield to j stock and I would not be a bit surprised that it will break the attendance record of Bcrkcli so far this summer. Now at English’s. a m a STUDYING A ""V,. SI3 STAGE NAME There is a great deal cf psychol- | egy in dressing an act. Especially j so a vaudeville act that goes ever. Take the act of "Oklahoma"’ Bob > Albright’s. The name conjures up guns and fancy shooting as well as rope throwing. Nothing of thF sort is in the act. Bob Albright s.ngl Net anything classical or semi-classical, but such things as an impression cf A1 Jolson singing some catchy tune. Or of the Negro boy who learned to sing In Swit- : zerland, and who sings a blues ir. the A'pine manner. It’s good. Bob also gives an impression of a baratene and a soprani singing “My j Hero” from the opera “The Choc- , elate Soldier. The song is bur- j lesqued. b it Albright sure ends up ! in a good false to.

As for the dressing the act. A'bright uses two pianos. He has two girls dressed in the outfit/ that cow-girls are supposed to wear Miss Hiidagard Bell plays a piano roio that has a iot of new tuner in it. She also sings one of then’. She has a low voice. Eleanor Hoffman is the other girl. She

dances, and what a dance. One of ihase real jazzy sort of things that apparently no sowgirl ever thought of. A mighty good act. Danny Beck is the master-of-ceremonies with the Erma Powell presentation, the other headliner act. Danny is the drummer with this band. There are two cornet players and two saxophone players and a trombonist. Also a tap dancer. This tap dancer sings, but she should stick to her dancing. Erma Powell plays a bubble song with the trumpet into a bowl of soap suds and gets lots of bubbles. The trombone player imitates an airoplane and a steam engine. Danny announces the different stunts and really plays the drums: People who succeed in getting a large amount of wrong numbers will appreciate the act of Joe Bennett and Company's. The telephone operator gets the lines all mixed. The girl who wants her act booked talks to the sheik and Abbie the and Mrs. somebody-or-other and agent. And the sheik talks to Abbie

everybody else. Its a grand mix up, but it has a let of laughs. Maureen Englin sings some blues and some comedy songs and a few ballads. She has a good lyric voice and a smile with all the songs. The song novelty “He Ain't Never Been to College’ is a good comedy piece. Cornell, , Leona and Zippy have been seen here before. Cornell is ■Prince Charming, a comedian Prince, and Leona is the Cinderella. She does a tap dance that is,good. Cornell does some dancing, too. Some tap and comedy steps. Zippy is the singing, dog. They all three get together and render, that is the right word, some sad tunes. And the dog has a good voice for that. A good comedy act. Emil Knoff and brother are acrobats. Emil starts the act playing the “Fifth Nocturne” and then is the bottom man for his brother. The best part of the act is the brother jumping from a ladder head first to a hand hold with Emil, who stands in front of the orchestra. jTie Three Dears have a slapstick novelty acrobatic act. Most of the act is tumbling. Two of the men are dressed as babies and the other as an old man who is taking care of them. A fair act. At the Lyric. (By the Observer.)

SULLIVAN MAYOR FACES POLICE CHANGE PROTEST Citizens’ Petition Raises Objections to Ousting Chief Bn Times Special -'SULLIVAN, Ind., July 3.—Local business men and other citizens are circulating a petition which urges Mayor A. M. Wilson to reconsider his announced intention of dismissing Police Chief Claude Dosier and Patrolman Risinger. The mayor proposes to name John Hamilton, former Carlisle resident as chief, while the place of Risinger will not be filled. Petitioners declare they do not object to Hamilton personally, but feel that he should nob be given the place as he is neither a resident or taxpayer here. Hamilton was a deputy of Newman Guy, former county sheriff, defeated in the last primary 1.498 to 439 by Luther Keene, when he sought renomination and election.

SOLID SOUTH SAFE FOR AL, SAYLEADERS Democrats Hungry for Victory Worrying Only About North. BY RAY TUCKER ATLANTA, Ga., July 3.—The solid South, witty its 114 electoral votes, is safe tof A1 Smith. This message was given to friends of the Democratic nominee today as they ttickled through the southland oA their way home from Houston. Southern leaders scoffed at suggestions that prejudice against Smith’s wet views, religion and political affiliations might alienate someone of the States down here. IVhat About the North? The only question among the southerners, apparently, was whether or not Smith would sweep the North likewise. They are hungry for victory and restored prestige. “Smith,” said James M. Thompson of New Orleans, "offers the best chance for Democratic victory since Woodrow Wilson.” Thompson—and his wife, former Genevieve Clark—supported Jim Reed at Houston, but he said he would take off his coat and work for Smith. Senator Harrison of Mississippi said Smith’s majorities in the southern States would be the normal Democratic majorities. "Don’t worry about us,” he told Senator Wagner of New York. Predict United Front Georgia leaders, returning home today, told the same story. Differences in their ranks would be adjusted, they said, and a united front presented to the enemy. Josephus Daniels, while deprecating Smith’s moist message to the convention, indicated disbelief in the idea that it might hurt the candidate's chances in the Carolinas. Senator Glass, author of the prohibition plank, said Virginia would stay in line.
