PEACE NEAR IN SOUTH AMERICA AFTERJ7YEARS Kellogg Sees Success in Effort to End Chile and Peru Strife. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, July 10.—Secretary of State Kellogg has made another bid for recognition as a peacemaker. It was learned today that, through his good offices, Chile and Peru have been brought to the point of resuming diplomatic relations after a rupture of seventeen years’ standing. Although a few details remain to be settled, it authoritatively was said that an official announcement to this effect would be made within a few days. Topping this diplomatic achievement and as a result of it, Chile and Peru may be expected to move closer to a settlement of the half-century-old Tacna-Arica controversy. Kellogg has expressed the hope of being able to end this dispute before retiring from office next March.

Bn United Press , SANTIAGO, Chile, July 10.— Persistent rumors continued today that Pei’uvian and Chilean relations, after seventeen years, shortly would be reassumed.

A CARDBOARD LOVER BECOMES LOVABLE Even If He Had to Put on Pajamas That Would Have ~ Made King Solomon Blush, Andre Becomes a Historic Sheik to Impress His Lady. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN A PAIR of loud pajamas on the slender figure of Andre Sallicel, worn in the bedroom of the Paris flat of Madame Simone, in the presence of Madame’s former husband, had a meaning all its own to former husband. This happens in that delightfully naughty but pleasant laugh of a farce called “Her Cardboard Lover,” which Stuart Walker has seen fit to partly undress at Keith’s this week. “Her Cardboard Lover” is naughty sauce for the goose. To those whose diet means more than boiled beef and cabbage (and that is gooa, too), the “Lover” will be the needed spice, the mental, fragrant cocktail of the season.

Here is a naughty romp, not indecent, but highly spiced, gorgeous, and above all, very funny. There is a dash of purple here, several tons of modern wise cracking and some of the most dashingly satisfying clever acting of the season. Do not be afraid to laugh at this nifty little dandy of the theater. It is not a sermon. There isn’t a moral in one spoken line, but rather a modern smartness that gets one off of a mental ham and egg diet. Here is smart burlesque set to the decent tempo of farce as well as comedy. Here is such clever and smart acting that one relishes the opportunity to laugh out loud. Here is a merry and a jolly kettle of fish. Here is a Tiffany setting as to scenery and costumes. Here is one theatrical dish of tne season that will make you tingle with delight as the play goes skating merrily over very thin ice. But the author, Jacques Duval, never permits his characters to break the ice. Not even when Madame takes off a party gown, exhiting only her “undies,” or whatever she wears. Not even when An-

dre struts -forth from the bathroom of Madame’s lovely flat in Paris, clad in pajamas so loud that King Solomon would have been thrown into a fit of jealousy—not even then do the principal characters break through the thin ice. And this is made possible by the way Gavin Gordon as Andre,

3 ijijl

Gavin Gordon

Muriel Kirkland as Madame Simone and Jack Story as Tony La Gorce, the divorced husband, play their several parts. It is in this play as produced by Stuart Walker that we have the smartest acting in the most sophisticated play cf the summer season.

Mr. Walker in his curtain talk on the opening night of the current season said: “And we will bring to you ‘Her Cardboard Lover.’ It is naughty, but delightful. Maybe you had better leave the children at home, but I am sure you will love it just as New York did.” Or words to that effect. And that is all true. This play is just fancy mental sauce, delightfully funny, not vulgar, but just modernly rapid. There are three tremendously “fat’ acting roles in “Her Cardboard Lover,” and the three that Walker has assigned to these parts are doing cor kingly brilliant jobs. Never has Muriel Kirkland had such a chance as she has in this play. She catches the tantalizing, smart, passionate, silly, human and wise moods of a very rich lady who still was in love with her divorced husband and who hired a good looking young man to act as her cardboard lover. He was always to be present when former hubby arrived and he was even when he came to Madame’s bedroom. Miss Kirkland is at her tremendous best in the several telephone scenes in the second act when she strikes the cardboard lover on the cheek and then kisses him; when she realizes that she doesn’t love her divorced hubby anymore, and, also when she trots out in her own pajamas to declare her love and ask her cardboard lover to discard his cardboard qualities. Here is acting that you would expect of Grace George in “The Road to Rome.” Here is some of the finest “fun” acting of the season. And the credit goes to Miss Kirkland. Never has Gavin Gordon in my presence done so splendidly or entered into the smart fun of the theme so well as he is, doing, as the cardboard lover. Never has he delivered his lines and executed his business so charmingly unassuming as he is doing this week. Here is smart, charming work and he always keeps every line and every situation safely upon even thin ice. Never has Jack Storey had such an opportunity to show the theatrical stuff of which he is made as in this play. He knows how to put over his situations. There was no prompting last night. It was the best first night from a standpoint of complete characterization that a Walker company has ever had In this city since I have been telling you about shows. It is true that this same company did this play ir. Cincinnati. Everything was letter perfect last night. There are numerous others in the cast. There is no miscasting. From a scenic standpoint “Her Cardboard Lover” has been given a Tiffany setting. It is gorgeous, rich and beautifully modern. All in all, “Her Cardboard Lover” is the smartest morsel of fun that Walker has ever given this city. If you care for more than ham and eggs, you will have a charming time skating over deliciously thin ice at Keith’s this week. See this one if you relish smart fuft. it will not harm you one bit That I am sure. a a a HOT WEATHER BILL IS ON VIEW Bearing in mind that Charles Berkell has given us “The Barker” and “Stella Dallas” this season, I am willing to consider “Take My Advice” as just hot weather entertainment. Asa play it is a mighty poor one. This comedy puts not an ounce of serein upon any actor and the

audience is burdened by a single thought. “Take My Advice” is the lightest possible sort of entertaniment. As far as I am concerned there is no

reason for this play ever being written except as summer entertainment. And during this hot weather such plays have their value. About the most important thing about the Berkell production of this play is the set, one which is used during the entire action of the play. The story does not ring true but the

Robert St. Clair scenery does. Harvey Schlueter, scenic artist, has done a nice job with this set. But the story gives Milton Byron a chance to act the role of a professor who proves that his theories of life are right. Byron gives a good reading of his part. Robert St. Clair has one of those juvenile roles which he gets away with with pleasing results. Larry Sullivan has a type of role that he must hate. Others in the cast are Edythe Elliott, Bob Fay, Harry Hoxworth, Mildred Hastings and Bernice Marsolais. "Take My Advice” is on view all week at English’s. nan GRAND HOKUM ACT AT LYRIC Most acts on the vaudeville stage, comedy, straight stuff and all others, including hokum acts, use the personnel of the act. That is to say, the ones in the act are the ones that appear on the stage. To be different, Alexander and Olren work in all the other people on the bill in their bit. It is called “What’s It All About?” I wondered myself at first, but finally it became funny, with this person and that contributing something. Even to occupying the boxes and breaking up the show. These two men really don’t do anything but walk through the act and bring on these different people and pull some old burlesque stunts, but they are good. Here are two men offering lots pf laughs and finding buyers. They introduce

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

. Verdict of the Stage ENGLISH’S—“Take My Advice” is just a mere nothing, Its only value is that it is summer entertainment. Nobody has to think, neither the actors or the audience. A poor play. KEITH’S—“Her Cardboard Lover” is the smartest rapid-fire fun of the season. It is gorgeously acted by Muriel Kirkland, Gavin Gordon and Jack Storey. It will be the nifty sensation of the week. Not to be passed up by those who have theatrical appetites that do not favor mental ham and eggs a’l the time. See it. LYRlC—Alexander and Olsen have a hokum act that is worth the price of admission. They use all the other acts in their bit. Bigson Herbert and company have a good comedy piece.

Jesse Wade, Jr., who they say was with “Running Wild” and "Shuffle Along,” and he does a tap dance number. He is good. Father had to take care of the baby when his wife went shopping. And he parked the carriage by a fireplug and the cop made him move it. Bigson Herbert is father. This man gets his comedy across with his voice. He can get it down to a whisper and sound as if he were going to cry. The baby socks papa with a hammer and other things and the .policeman gets some of the punishment, too. Herbert knows his comedy. The “Revue Des Beaux Arts” gives Richard Vintour a chance to sing as he paints. Also he is the partner of the toe dancer, Irene Andie. This young woman is a very fair dancer. There is another man in the company that does some tableaux pictures. He is George Winston an acrobat, and works with Vintour. A fair act. Hendrix and Baldwin are blacky face comedians. One of them is the big flashy girl that has been married so many times “that wedding bells sound like an alarm clock.” The other is the dapper little guy that “aint the marrying kind.” They do a little singing and a little dancing and a lot of talking. And the “gal” tells him what she thinks of him. The part of the girl is taken by a good female impersonator. A good comedy act. Two pianos are used in this act. The two girls that play them are good and really pky. The other girl in the act of Joan Jahn and Baldwin Sisters, sings. She uses several semi-classical songs as her part of the offering. This act is prettily dressed. The singer has only a fair voice. Paddy Saunders draws caricatures of his grandfather and a scrub-lady and lots of others. He also takes names and fits cartoons to them. His best is several pictures that have lights behind them and show the scene differently. This act has a different twist to it than most. Saunders has a line of talk to go with it that is good. “Well, We’re Home” has some real humor in it. Myers and Sterling have one of these comedy arguments, but they have some good stuff, worth a laifgh or two. The woman has a little squeek in her voice that she uses to good advantage. This comedy act is fair. At the Lyric. (By the Observer.) Other theaters today offer: Harry Fox at Loew’s Palace; Charlie Davis at the Indiana; Dick Powell at the Circle, and Pat Lane at the Fountain Square.

SOLAR DISPLAY DUE THURSDAY Large Sun Spot to Affect „ Telegraph Lines. Bn Science Service WASHINGTON, July 10—Displays of northern lights, accompanied by magnetic disturbances, even more intense than those of last Saturday night which tied up telegraph lines, may occur Thursday night. At that time a large sun spot, some 30,000 miles long, will be almost in the center of the solar disc, as observed from the earth. The new spot may not survive that long, but probably it will. Another large spot, also about 30,000 miles long, was near the center of the sun Saturday rfight at the time of the Aurora displays, and has now moved over to the western side of the solar disc. It is now somewhat smaller than it was at that time. Though the exact connection between sunspots, magnetism on the earth and northern light displays is still somewhat of a mystery, asronomers believe them to be connected. The sun spots send out streams of electrons, or cathode rays. When the spot faces tte earth these rays reach our planet and are drawn in by its magnetism. As they pass through the upper atmosphere, the rarefied gases there are excited and glow like the gases in a cathode ray tube in a laboratory. 1,150-Pound Turtle Caught BAY SHORE, N. Y„ July 10.—A turtle weighing 1,150 pounds was brought ashore after Capt. Gus Koskuski in command of a trawler, fought with it for an hour. Koskuski said he would make soup out of the turtle.

Dr. Caldwell’s 3 Rules Keep You Healthy

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasanttasting, and youngsters love It. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you will feel

like a different person. Use Syrup Pepsin for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stomachi bad breath, no appetite, headaches* and to break up fevers and colds.
