MILLER SAYS THAT “MACBETH” IS GREAT Local Theater Manager Claims that George Tyler IS Sending a Masterpiece to the Murat. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN \ D F. MILLER, manager of English's, just told me that the most A artistic and elaborate edition of Shakespeare that the local stage has ever presented will be sent here by George Tyler. On Thursday night, March 21, at the Murat, Tyler will present "Macbeth,” the Gordon Craig designed edition, for a three-day engagement at the Murat. “We are getting this ‘Macbeth’ with its great cast and his artistic sets that have made stage history just because I told Mr. Tyler that Indianapolis and the state would support it to capacity,” Mr. Miller said. "I know,” he said, “that it is a big undertaking to bring this edition

of 'Macbeth’ to this city, but with general co-operation on the part of the show-going public in this city and the state who desire better things on the stage, the engagemenc will be a success. But it will .take capacity ta every performance.” Thf following data has been compiled Regarding “Macbeth.” One of the most important theatrical events of the Indianapolis season will undoubtedly be the outstanding educational event in theatricals. “Macbrt' ” with the settings designed by Gordon Craig, and with an all-star cast headed by Florence Reed, Lyn Harding and William Faraum, has been booked for the Murat for three nights beginning Thursday, March 21, with a Saturday m’tinee. This is the production which recently completed the record of 100 performances consecutively at the Knickerbocker -theater, New York City, and which packed the immense Auditorium, Chicago, for three weeks. Criticisms have been unanimous in its favor. In recent years “Macbeth” has been seen only with repertoire companies. The Gordon Craig “Macbeth” on the contrary, stands on its own merit and enlists the services of nearly 100 people in support of the thirty speaking roles. The production is enormous, comparable only with “The Miracle,” done by Max Reinhardt who, incidentally, is a disciple of Craig. Os great interest to the teaching fraternity is the fact that this “Macbeth” is being shown only in the largest of auditoriums where it can be properly displayed on immense stages and where the seating capacity warrants reductions in price scales. In Indianapolis, the prices ■will range from $1 to $3 for all performances. There will be further reductions for groups of twenty-five or more who will be enabled to secure a 50 cent reduction on the $3 and $2.50 seats and a 25 cent decrease in the $2 and $1.50 seats. This brings the price down to about one-half of the prices charged during the New York run. The Gordon Craig designment has been carried out by Douglas Ross, former dramatic coach at Yale, who .is also in the cast. It is at once lavish, stupendous, spectacular and %renched with the supernatural flood which is the theme of “Macfeth.” It is receiving the indorsement of all educational bodies. Charles F. Miller, superintendent of Indianapolis public schools, has written: “I think it is indeed fortunate that the lovers of the dramatic art and of the beautiful are to have the opportunity of seeing Gordon Craig’s wonderful design-ment-of ‘Macbeth.’” u u * The English Singers will appear in concert tonight at Caleb Mills hall at the new Shortridge under the booking of the Teachers’ Federation.

LOSE REAPPORTIONMENT Bill to Redistrift Legislature Is Withdrawn. In a deluge of withdrawals, last hope for legislative reapportionment in the current session of the legislature disappeared Thursday. Among the fifteen bills withdrawn in the house of representatives by members seeing no hope for their measures, was the bill introduced Feb. 8 by Representative John W. Scott of Gary providing for reapportionment. - The 1927 legislature ignored the constitutional requirement for legislative reapportionment in that year and Scott’s action defers any possibility of action in this direction before the session of 1931.

REGISTRATION FIGHT RENEWED Bill Fails Twice in Senate; Ask Reconsideration. Friends of voter registration were preparing today to give the house bill, which failed twice in the senate Thursday, another chance at passage. ' Whether a third poll is possible will rest with the interpretation of a senate rule on reconsideration. Failing a constitutional majority Thursday morning the bill was called back on motion for reconsideration in the afternoon and the performance was repeated. Each time 24 favorable votes were cast, two less than the minimum required for passage. Proponents contend that the bill is still on third reading and can be called down in regular order. The bill is backed by the Indiana League of Women -Voters. Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, Indianapolis; Mrs. Charles Arthur Carlisle, South Bend, of the league, and Mrs. J. W. Moore, Indiana Federation of Women’s Clubs, issued a statement urging that the bill be given another chance and not be discarded by any legislative tricks. Republican state committee senatorial spokesmen opposed the measure from the floor, basing their opposition on the ground of expense. Another league backed bill was indefinitely postponed. It provided for primary candidates to group together and employ watchers at the polls. A. house bill to licence and examine barbers was sent into the discard, the same fate given a similar measure for beauty parlors. SOUR TASTE AFTER EATING Gas Pains and Other Indigestion Troubles Suffered by Virginia Man. “I have been using Black-Draught for about thirty years,” says Mr. C. R. Suthers, who lives on the Lee highway, Wytheville, Va. “I first began using BlackDraught for indigestion and gas pains. After I would eat, my food seemed to ferment and I would belch it up. I would have a very sour taste in my mouth. I would also have shortness of breath. “My wife read about BlackDraught. She had taken some, and thought it would help me. “And I want to say that it is certainly a good medicine. I have taken it for constipation, colds, or anything where a good laxative was needed, and it has never failed to help me. “It seems to cleanse the system and keeps me in good shape. I am glad to recommend it to my friends. After using it for thirty years, it seems to do me as much good now as it did when I took my first dose.” Thedford’s Black-Draught is prepared from highest quality medicinal herbs and roots, in a convenient powdered form. Easy to take and has no bad after-effects.
