AUNT PRISCILLA IS STRONG ON FAMILY The Adams Family Was a Grand Old Name, but One of Them Broke Out and Ran Wild for a While. BV WALTER D. HICKMAN A UNT PRISCILLA ADAMS was one of those regal old fashioned dames /A. who believed that God made the Adams family. And working on that theory, Aunty tied all the living Adams to her apron string and the result was just a nice looking collection of spanked puppies. You will meet Aunt Priscilla and her brood in "One of the Family,” a comedy by'Kenneth Webb, which the Berkell Players are presenting so delightfully this week. The little play concerning the campaign of Aunt Priscilla to keep the enitre family tied to her apron strings, gives at least three of the cast opportunity to do splendid work.

Honors are about equally divided between Miss Inez Wolf as Maggie, the woman of all trades around the Adams house for almost twenty years, and James Blaine as Henry

Henry Adams, one of the Adai js that broke away from his aunt's apron strings and made a little wild whoppee by getting married to a girl that his aunt did not approve. Miss Wolf has dressed Maggie in one of those skirted editions of years ago. She lives the character every minute, thereby giving the most complete

characterization of the Berkeil season so far. Blaine knows that Henry is just a sap. but a pretty good sort of a sap at that. His souse scene is splendidly handled and when Henry derides to tell his aunt and the rest of the family where to go to, Blaine is at his best. Another good piece of work is contributed by Miss Arline Althoff as Miss Priscilla Adams, the aunt. This is the best work that this women has given us so far. The cast is as follows: c.rt rtrr Adams Robert Blakeslee . Miss Inez Wolfe Penelope Adam: Mis: Beatrice Savoile Lucy Adams . . Mis.. Barbara Pane Miss Prl.-eitla Adam.-, Miss Arline Althoff Irene Adams . Miss Jvnia Shannon r-'ranlc Ovens Raymond Appleby Henrv Adams James Blaine Joyce Smith Mis . Mary Louise Walker Martin Burke Earl Jamison I am sure that you will find "One of the Family” mighty good fun, nicely acted and splendidly mounted. The sets get better and better each week. You will like this one, so be sure and see it. At English's all week. a a tt CONCERNING THE MENDELSSOHN C HOIR It seems to me after hearing many concerts of the Mendelssohn choir of this city, that I am able to state without any possible contradiction that the choir in its concert last night was at its very best. The choir has reached its highest point of development under the direction of Elmer Andrew Steffen. There was last night a more positive response in Steffen's direction. The singers caught the mood of the number just as the leader de .red. It seemed that all sections ring better. And another thing, the choir's program was better elected than some former ones. The choir scored its first big ovaion while singing "How They So Softly Rest” and "Beautiful Saviour.” That was followed by “Canticle of the Sun.” To me the seventh and eighth groups were the high spots of the choir. Dunn, composer, inscribed to the choir "The Haven of Dreams.” It was done last night for the first time and proved to be a most interesting “part-song in the modern idiom for five-part chorus.'* Judging by the applause, “It Was a Lover and His Lass," a healthy thing by Dunn was the most popular chorus number. I think that Steffen woud have been justified in repeating this number. It. gave life and individuaity to the program. The two Negro spirituals done for six-part chorus were beautifully presented. Fine singing. The choir closed its part of the program with "Great Is the Lord,” a festival anthem. The Mendelssohn choir stands today a magnificient organization that rightly takes its pace as one of the fine civic items of Indianapolis. And right now let me state that they were far too many empty seats last night. This city must wake up or we are going to lose out, The fact is there have been away too ~~ 666 Is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu. Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria.

many empty seats for most of the leading concerts at the Murat this season. Danger is ahead if we do not turn out in larger numbers. And the choir last night, along with its guest artist, Edith Mason, soprano prima donna of the Chicago Civic Opera, deserved absolute capacity. If we are going to have great and fine music in this city we must patronize the concerts. And a good way to start is to attend the Mendelssohn choir concerts. By mentioning the choir first I mean no disrespect to Miss Mason. Here is one of the most artistic singers I have heard on the concert stage. She has a beautiful voice clear, splendidly developed and controlled and she has mastered the difficult art of projecting every mood of song. The way she elevated “The Cuckoo Clock” to the realm of an artistic gem proves the ability of this singer. When the audience really became enthusiastic and expressed it by applause Miss Mason gave a group of encores, two jolly little Irish numbers that also were artistic gems, splendidly done. Her one aria, "Depuis le Jour,” from "Louise,” was masterfully done. Her classic group, which included two Mozart songs, was also a gem of tone and mood as well. Her French group that opened the second part of the program had the same charm as her English groups. Her accompanist was Isaac Van Grove—one of the best. Paul R. Matthews was the accompanist for the choir. Splendid. Here was a fine concert, history making for the choir. The only regretable thing was that the Murat was not capacity. Tonight at the Murat, the Harlequin Club of Purdue will present "Katja” for one performance. Other theaters today offer: “Show Boat” at the Circle; "Coquette” and The Indianapolis Times safety campaign movie at Loew’s Palace; "Dawn” at the Zaring: Charlie Davis at the Indiana; "His Captive Woman” at the Ohio; "Speakeasy" at. the Apollo; “The Bohemians" at the Mutual, and, the Colonial Players at the Colonial.
