THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GRAND JURY TO PROBE MEXICAN ESCAPE PLOT Accuse Four of Trying to Flee U. S. With $750,000 Loot. Fu United Press NEW YORK, May 7.—Charges that the Mexican government wants to execute Salvador Ateca, because of his sympathy for the rebel cause were made today by W. H. Fryer, counsel for Ateca, Ateca, Fryer, Russell B. Matthews, an immigration official stationed at El Paso, Texas, and Antonio Gomez Maqueco, Ateca's secretary, were arrested in a hotel here while in possession of $750,000, said to be loot from Mexican banks. Today Charles H. Tuttle, federal district attorney, will go before a grand jury and ask an indictment against the four men on charges of conspiring to aid Ateca to escape to Spain. Fryer said Ateca owned extensive properties in Mexico, including a silver mine which he characterized as “priceless.” About $1,500,000 was contributed to the Mexican rebels by Ateca, Fryer said, and for that reason much of Ateca’s property in Mexico had been confiscated by the federal government. Meanwhile, David P. Siegel, counsel for the four men, said the arrest of Ateca and his companions here had been “inspired” by the Mexican government which was seeking to harass Ateca at every j opportunity.

YES, SHE HAD A BABY ; AND TOOK IT HOME Mary Louise Walker Does a Fine Pauline Frederick Job In ‘“The Scarlet Woman,” at English’s. BY WALTER I). HICKMAN AGATHA MARLEY had a baby and she wasn’t married because she got it out of a foundling institution in New York. When she got the baby she went a nursing training in a hospital in New York and learned “more than any nurse” could ever know about babies. That is what Agatha Marley did. Then home she trots, an unmarried woman with baby wanting a bottle and such. In she trots, carrying her baby into her late father’s home on the day that the civic people were unveiling a “bust” or something in his honor. All poor, sweet Agatha was to do was to pull the string that would

unveil the bust. That was before the busy people found out that she “had” a baby and no husband. The

home town was a Main street junction in a small summer colony in the Berkshire Hills. ‘ Am trying to tell you about the work of Miss Mary Louise Wal-, ker as Agatha Marley in a mighty good piece of stage business, called now “The Scarlet Woman.” This is the play that Pauline Frederick brought to English’s last

season under another name, live baby and everything. And the Berkells had a live baby, crying and all, the night I saw the show. I have told you about the story concerning this play in the regular season w’hen Miss Frederick brought the play here with Zelda Sears, one of the writers of the play. No reason to repeat. Now as to the Berkell performance of “The Scarlet Woman.” The show hinges upon the way that Agatha is brought to life. No doubt about it. The other characters must be good and all that, but Agatha must be right. Pauline Frederick created this role. I feel that it is a compliment to state that Miss Walker in the Berkell production does a Pauline Frederick. Not that Miss Walker is trying to “ape” Miss Frederick at all. Nothing like that. But this role has certain standard and individual characteristics that it must be played in the same way w'hether the ghost of Bernhardt does it or not. The play hinges upon it. And I can say this in all honesty that Miss Walker is giving the most complete and understanding characterization that any leading woman has ever given in the Berkell organization. I say this in all understanding that there may be a difference of opinion in the lines of individual characterization. But this I have no doubt—Miss Walker is giving the most complete artistic performance I have ever seen given by a leading woman in the Berkell organization. This play has certain type parts. Decidedly so. We will take the work of Inez Wolfe as Hattie, the role played by Zelda Sears in the Frederick production. I believe that

Miss Wolfe was at her poorest on the night I saw her, Sunday night. I believe that she will improve her “facial” qualities to get over thi character as it is intended to be played. She has the voice and the “dress” to do this thing right. But she must lighten up the face. I mean that kindly but most honestly. One of the character knockouts is the Cassie True of Barbara Dane. Here is character gossipy work that is immense. It blends into the play. She dominates in her scenes of scandal gossip. And I will tell you that the scandal stuff is wisely directed and put over in this show. James Blaine hasn't much to do because this is a show that gives the leading woman everything. I expected him to be better than he was. Speed, decided speed,’* is needed in his climax in the last act when he returns from being arrested for speeding. Just the right handling of the door makes this cene a wod. But Blaine did not do it Sunday night. If this moment is not improved then it is Blaine's fault. The play gives him the chance. Robert Blakeslee as Felix, the drug store cowboy owner, who never became a sheik, does most satisfactory and decided work. Here is Miss Walker’s triumph in. Indianapolis so far. Do not miss it. “The Scarlet Woman” is on view all week at English's. a a a Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Red Hots” at the Mutual, the trained seal at the Indiana, “Show Boat” at the Circle. “Close Harmony” at the Ohio, “The Voice of the City” at the Palace. "Sonny Boy” at the Apollo and Colonial Players at the Colonial. CONTROLS ‘LIGHTNING' Portable “T'hunderbolt-hurler*’ Tests General Electric Lines.

FRENCH-U. S. AMITY MARKS ARMS MEETING Adjourned Parley Broke Away Many Barriers to World Peace. Bu United Press GENEVA, May 7.—Many of the delegates to the sixth conference of the preparatory disarmament commission left for their respective capitals today with the feeling that in spite of the pessimism expressed in certain quarters much had been accomplished at this session toward reaching an ultimate agreement on disarmament. The conference, adjourned Monday to permit the leading naval powers to make a more detailed study of the United States proposals on naval limitations, will be reconvoked when the various admiralties have reported progress by direct negotiations among themselves. The next preparatory conference will be the last before the final convocation of the disarmament conference itself. Mutual concessions of the French and American delegations during this conference were regarded in many political circles as the msot important developments of the metings. This new international alignment is calculated to have a tremendous influence not only on naval and military negotiations in the future. Both delegations worked hand in hand throughout the preparatory commission negotiations, indicating a brand new policy of co-operation. While the United States accepted France’s naval compromise as a basis for negotiations and France’s viewpoint on the questions of trained reserves, France retaliated by accepting America’s viewpoint in the control of war material stocks through publicity, and Hugh S. Gibson’s proposal to leave the enforcement of the disarmament convention to the good faith of the nations rather than to leave it to an internaional conrol commission.
