THRILLER INVITES SOME COMPARISONS This Touring Company of 'Wooden Kimono’ Recalls Stock Production of This Same Mystery Play. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IN considering the entertainment values of “The Wooden Kimono” at this time in its history, it is necessary to make comparison with the Stuart Walker production last summer. And the verdict must necessarily be on my part that the Stuart Walker production had much better and a more effective cast than the one now at English’s. From a production and effect standpoint, the George Wintz production leaves no J hing to be desired. It “seems to me that if one had not seen the' Walk, * production, they would get many a thrill out of the

present company at English’s. This show demands a strong Clara Malcom (played now by Vera Temple) and a much determined character on the part of Mary Madden (now in the hands of May Ward).

And for strict comedy relief a decided type character is needed for Agatha Bloon (played by Elizabeth Dunne). I am now speaking from the comp arison standpoint. Now, in fairness, it must be recorded that Miss Dunne as Agatha did get the laughs and plenty of them last night. The best work in the present cast is

contributed by Anthony Andree as Sandock, William Balfour as Dr. Graham and William I. Clark as Ethan Malcolm, the mad man who builds the “wooden kimino” for the ghosts. My policy is not to tell the story of a mystery play and I will not do it this time. “The Wooden Kimino” remains on view all week at English’s. LOOKING OVER * NEW LYRIC BILL There is a variety in type of vaudeville entertaniment at the Lyric this week. Bert Sloan' is a wire-walker who specializes in rapid dance stepping and a good jump on the wire. He

does not go in for comedy effects, but does a legitimate dress suit wirewalking act in which splendid technique is reveiled. Bonner and Powers enter vaudeville after being associated with Ziegfeld Follies. Such training brings a different touch both in delivery as well as material. You may rest assured that these two people

have ability in presenting both comedy and travesty in song and talk. The man of the team has a clever thing in his description of a bull fight in which he gets prize fight, baseball and football lingo all mixed up with bull fighting. They have a corking travesty upon wha£ a certain brand of cigarets will do for the voice of a great singer. This number first strikes one as pure plugging, but tha you get the hunch that

here is smart travesty this number becomes a clever scream. Chris Richards is an eccentric comedian who seems to be handicapped in knowing what this country wants on the variety stage. Lot of his material is pointless. The Versatile Trio sing and play musical instruments. These three male singers put over their melody in a sure way. Seror brothers and sister offer extreme eccentric comedy in “The Nut House.” Maryn Bellet and company of dancers and a pianist rely upon the sensational and fast acrobatic work of the chief woman dancer to register applause. The movie feature is “The Power of the Press,” with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Now at the Lyric. nun NEW BURLESQUE SHOW NOW AT MUTUAL Irving Selig and his slapstick comedy fails to register very well this week in “Girls From Happyland,” the current burlesque attraction at the Mutual. Ben Lemer, second comic, is in the same rut as

Lerner and for this reason the show is weak on comedy. The dancing done by the different women members of the company could be improved upon with the addition of some pe pp y numbers. The dances are run too much to the slow singsong variety. Snappy dances and several clever scenes would help

U. S. SCORES IN BATTLE ON MASLFRAUDS Many Cases Dealt With in 1928, Postoffice Chief Reports. B.y Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Sale of fraudulent oil stocks and other schemes for obtaining money or property through fraud continue to spring up yearly, Postmaster General New states in his annual report today. During the fiscal year just closed fraud orders were issued against 301 concerns or persons engaged in questionable enterprises. The department scored a victory over the endless-chain system of fraud which sprang into existence about three years ago. Supreme Court Aids Although companies engaged in this enterprise disputed the postofflee department's right to interfere with their business, the United States supreme court ruled against them and the frauds immediately were stopped. Some concerns tried to revise their methods, New reports, but could not come within the law. The endless chain consists in selling products through “coupons,” “tickets” and “certificates,” which are designated to create additional customers through each one dealt with. Curb Oil Frauds Relative to oil frauds, New reports: "Evidences of the resumption of activities by fraudulent oil stock promoters have been apparent, but through vigorous enforcement these efforts have been rendered ineffective.” Stock and land-selling enterprises, work-at-home schemes and selling of fake medicines all are included in the frauds dealt with, New reports.

Roland Hayes in Concert Tonight

A musical event of first importance in Indianapolis is the recital of songs at the Murat tonight to be given by Roland Hayes, famous tenor, assisted by Percival Parham, English pianist. , A wonderful musician, a‘ great artist—that is the first impression of the singer, Roland Hayes. Unfailing sense of measure, mastery of phrasing, the finest nuances— all that is peculiar to Mr. Hayes all that makes the principal part of his artistic self. Nothing commonplace, nothing for effect, everything is thought about, the whole as well as the details, everything is very compact. The ”De Telegraaf” in Amsterdan had this to say about Hayes’ concert there last January: “Even if we had missed all the first part of the program (the

And from it lived and radiated: “They Crucified My God.” There were four verses that in their repetition seemed to form a rite. Hayes stood alone without any ac-

companist, whilst the crucifixion took place in his heart and in ours. Love and deadly sorrow, gentleness and pain, faith become flesh—all this enthralled in the shrine of art, turned into music as the medieval man’s belief could turn into color. Words used with sound to beauty—a beauty that was a blessing. “What can one say here about an emotion? All this sublimeness will have been felt by those who could understand; there may be ninny who missed it all, whose ears are too accustomed to a musical humdrum or tradition, whose hearts could not grasp this suffering, this wonder. “I can only write for the many who really did feel, and thank him for those who, standing at the borders of our art, have seen the land of delight that he s’ 1 us.”
