FREIGHT RATES CUT TO HELP MARKET WHEAT Hoover Moves to Give U. S. Exporters Even Break With Canada.

CLUBS AND PATRONS TO HONOR BERKELL Stock Company at English's Will Celebrate Fourteen Hundreth Performance Here Sunday Night. r T''HE celebration of the 1.400 th performance of the Berkell Players in J Indianapolis at English's Sunday night incidental to the presentation of "The Scarlet Woman,” bids fair to be an auspicious occasion in which Charles Berkell may well take pardonable pride. Mayor L Ert Slack will be on hand to lend his presence, and most probably, too, by words, congratulations to Mr. Berkell in behalf of the city. Official, of civic cluos and organizations will also be in attendance. But the program, between the first and second acts of the play, will be brief and to the point with James Blaine, leading man. acting as master

of ceremonies. Indications point to an out-pour-ing of confirmed Berkell patrons, as well as many theatergoers who are not so regular in their attendance to stock productions, to enliven the event by giving what Texas Guinan terms "a great big hand” to Mr. Berkell and the members of his company. Looking back over the six summer seasons—this being the seventh that Mr. Berkell ha.s been bringing his company to Indianapolis, it must be admitted that he is deserving of a metaphorical pat on the back. He came here a stranger from Davenport. I-owe-a. hoisted his banner in face of much skepticism, and ha.s survived despite adverse conditions including strong opposition in his own particular field, and revolutionary changes in the theatrical world. And now, at a time when theatrical managers in the realm of the legit can see nothing but gloom, or even doom, as the result of competition offered by talking motion pictures, Berkell cheerfully rises to remark that "talkies” are bound to be a good thing for the theatre because, in his opinion, they will “serve to rekindle interest in the spoken drama.” A great many people hope that he is right, and as they continue, each week, to go to English's to see and enjoy his company, there must be a degree of soundness in his reasoning. Following "The Scarlet Woman,” Berkell is going to spice his fare with a bit of drama. In fact, it might be termed a generous slice of hectic drama —Michael Arlen's

"The Green Hat,” in which Katherine Cornell, amid no little flutter and furor, scaled the heights to stardom. It has never been done here in stock. i an* FOLR-VEAR-OLD STAR DUE AT APOLLO Davey Lee. the adorable "Sonny Boy” of "The Singing Fool,” A1 Jolsoh's second Vitaphone picture, who makes his bow as a full-fledged statin Warner Brothers Vitaphone production, “Sonny Boy,” opening at the Apollo Saturday, is the heir apparent to the cinematic throne once held by Jackie Coogan, when he was the whimsical "Kid” of Charley Chaplin's earlier masterpieces. Wistful and imaginative, this new Prince Charming wears the ermine cloak that fell from the youthful shoulders of Coogan, in a manner that distinguishes him as an artist of royal theatrical blood. Until last summer. Davey Lee was merely a 3-year-old kid, romping the Los Angeles streets and playing with his toy soldiers. At the end of the summer he was a young prince in the land of cinema, the “Sonny Boy” of A1 Jolson. In the fall of this year, he was acclaimed by a first night audience in New' York as a charming, accomplished actor. He reached greatness in his first effort, as did his predecessor, Jackie Coogan. Davey's career is not unlike that of Jackie's. Both made their debut in motion pictures with great stars. Both had crucial roles, the least mishap on the part of either being possible to ruin the picture. In the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

climatic scenes of "The Singing Fool” and "The Kid,” Davey and Jackie were the really important actors. Jolson and Chaplin depended upon them for the decisive effect of the entire play. But Davey's debut may be said to have been more difficult, for "The Singing Fool” was a Vitaphone talking picture and Davey had many priceless lines to speak. None realized the importance of the child better than Jolson, himself, and after the opening of the Winter Garden in New York, he said: "You know, I was terribly nervous over the kid. He could ruin everything, turn pathos into bathos. One slip would have killed our chances. I decided to teach him his lines myself, and I must say. he proved an apt pupil. Not once did he stare
