JAILS MUST BE REPAIR SHOPS, SAYS GOVERNOR ••Pm For Under-Dog,” Leslie Asserts: Flays Crowding at Michigan City. “I'm not hard-boiled and I am for the under-dog,” Governor Harry G. Leslie declared in stating his stand on pardons and paroles from Hoosier penal institutions in an address at the Indiana Associated Press luncheon at the Claypool, Monday. He cited his visits to the various institutions when pardon or parole boards were in session and declared that he took personal responsibility for any case in which he showed executive clemency. “Our penal institutions should be repair shops,” he told the editors and publishers. “At Michigan City the institution is so crowded that many are forced to sleep on the floor. This crowding is a constant menace, being a threat of outbreak. “Here many of the prisoners are ’hard’, but there are 470 life-term-ers there, some with twenty-five or more merit marks, one for each year. Just think what a psychological effect it would be on that group if one of them could be conscientiously pardoned. I do not say that t will be done, but surely it would renew their hope in life.” He declared that there is much opportunity to save first offenders at the Indiana State reformatory and asked the newspapermen to sit in at board meetings and learn about penal problems first hand. Many mistake the difference between pardons and paroles, he as--erted, and explained that the trustees meet as a pardon board every three months while paroles are granted those serving their minimum sentence at the monthly board meetings. The Governor explained * his ' open door” policy with the statehouse newspapermen and praised the Indiana papers for finding and printing facts.

“My Tongue Was White and Furry”

'•Some time ago I began waking up with a terrible taste in my mouth every morning, and my tong w seemed to be coated with a white fur. At first I wasn’t alarmed, but when I began to tire early in the day and suffer dull headaches. I realized my system was storing up poisons. I began taking Dioxol tablets for the ox gall they contain, as my doctor said there was nothing better for the liver and bowels- I was amazed at the amount of old waste matter expelled from my body, and in a very short time began to feel like anew man.” Let your liver become sluggish and it fails to cleanse the blood of the poisons formed in the food waste. These poisons then are spread throughout the system, causing auto-intoxication, chronic constipation. sick headaches, and diseases of the stomach, blood and kidneys. The best thing for stimulating the liver, as doctors now agree, is pure, natural ox gall. Dioxol. containing pure ox gall, tones up the liver in a natural way and makes it function vigorously. When your whole intestinal tract is kept clean, your bowels move regularly, and you enjoy genuine health. Dioxol tablets are pure, natural ox gall in dainty, tasteless form, and cost less than 2e each at druggists. Try them and see what a difference it makes when your liver is functioning right. All good druggists sell Dioxol tablets.— Advertisement.

BERKELL DOES WELL WITH GREEN HAT Lyric Re-Opens Its Season With a New Policy That Combines the Movie-Talkers and Vaudeville Acts. BY WALTER D- HICKMAN IT is a pretty good sized job to do “The Green Hat” in stock for several reasons. Regardless of who plays the role of Iris March, she will always be compared with Katherine Cornell, who created this very individual ! “lady.” The Iris role is a fat part and it is one that requires more study then is generally given in the rush of creating plays each week in stock. Here is no ordinary woman, because she is one of the “rotten Marches” and that is saying a whole lot. As the play is constructed,

you see Iris only when she is facing some crisis in her life. I never have considered “The Green Hat” a good play, but I do think that it is good theater of the modern melodrama

type done in smart London drawing scandal talk. Iris is a rotter, but she certainly knows how to get her men. She isn’t so good holding on to 'em. but she lands them for a brief period at least. Iris is quite a dramatic dame, she is always just getting over one emotional fit or running into another. So it takes an actress en-

s % : VX;

Mildred Hastings

dowed with high emotional talents to capture all of this under current merely an interesting Iris March. Mary Louise Walker is giving us merely an interesting Irish March, not a great or a powerful Iris. 'I know that I am probably expecting too much from a first performance. That I will admit, but I believe that there could have been a more sincere and direct understanding of Iris on the part of Miss Walker. I noticed this in the first act, her entrance when she is about ready to fly off the handle at any minuteMiss Walker did not capture that nervous danger lurking in Iris. The final moments of the first act on the part of Miss Walker were splendid. In the second act when she forces herself into the arms of Napier and then turns out the lights, she again gave me the impression that she was just a little bit afraid of the morals of Iris. She was good in the third act and was at her best in the last act. Before I go any further, let me state that the Berkdl Players are giving you a very magnificent production of "The Green Hat,” for the prices charged. It is certainly a bargain and deserves absolute capacity at these prices. From a scenic standpoint the Bcrkcll production is just as complete as the original production. This play is difficult to cast in stock. There was same mis-casting here, but not enough to do any great damage. The best all-round piece of work in complete harmony with the story vas that contributed by Robert Blakeslee as Gerold March, another ore of the rotten Marches. Here Is splendid character conception done in just the right wild tempo. Easily the test piece of work this week. Junes Blaine makes a comfortable Napier Harpendcn. Miss Beatrice Eavelle was good as Venice Pollen- Miss Mildred Hastings looked the part of Sister Clothilde. She was given a splendid ovation cn her entrance. I found Earl Jamison satisfactory as Sir Maurice. They are giving you this week much more than you are paying for, even if you buy the highest priced seats. All week at English’s.

CONCERNING A VERY GREAT SINGER Indianapolis has found another fine musical friend. Her name is Nina Morgana and she is a soprano of the Metropolitan Opera. She made her first Indianapolis appearance last night at the Academy of Music as guest soloist with the Indianapolis Maennerchor. I can say this with the greatest ease—l never have seen a singer so completely charm an audience as this singer did last night. Never have I heard such an ovation, the real thing, given to an artist with the Maennerchor. It nearly became a riot. There were many reasons for the great triumph of Mme. Morgana. In the first place she and her accompanist. Alice Vaiden. were so well prepared that the pianist did not have to use her music at any time. The same with Mme- Morgana, she did not even use her notes. In other words, they were completely pre-

pared for all programmed numbers as well as many encores. Other concert singers should study this method of Mme. Morgana. I never recall seeing this done before—the complete absence of music for the pianist and the singer at the same time. There are many singers who do not use notes through an entire performance. Others always have It. Then the singer was in perfect voice, true all the time. Then she is a great actress, she acts her songs and I still think this is an important part of the duty of a concert singer. She lived the moods of hfr songs. And she is a corkingly clever showman. This woman knows her concert stage. When the great ovation came, she returned to the stage and sang to the Maennerchor, “I Love You.” And she meant itAnother reason, she sang a group in English and conquered with “The Ballade of Colleens,” composed by her pianist. Her first great triumph came while singing the waltz airs from “Romeo and Juliet.” And another great possession Is the ability to sing as if you loved to sing and nothing else mattered. That this singer has. I am willing to say that Mme. Morgana gave me my most complete musical thrill of the entire season. And I mean every word of it. > The Maennerchor, under the direction of Karl Reckzeh, again sang as if they loved the job. They go in for such songs as “Staendchen,”

Dr, Caldwell’s 3 Rules Keep You Healthy

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter ho,w careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Os next, importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Cadwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is rot a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, andyoungsters love it. It does not grii_e. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their systems. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“Der unerbittiche Hauptmann” and | the like. I The male chorus seemed to obey easily the direction of Reckzeh and I know that the audience demanded i more encores than were given. It was quite a night at the Acad--1 emy of Music last night. a a a NEW POLICY STARTS AT THE LYRIC THEATER Vaudeville and the movie-talkers make a mighty good combination and one that should again place the Lyric theater back in a commanding position. That was my impression after ! seeing the first show since the theater changed management and policy. It is announced that the vaudeville part of the bills will be Radio-Keith-Orpheum acts. The opening bill is made up of three actsiand the all-movie-talker, “Syncopation.” The, variety section of the bill opens with the Nine Allisons, a European act, of tumblers and acro-

bats who work rapidly and with fine skill. Here is a good act. Then we have John Swor and Jack Goode in an act called “Two Black Faces.” There have been numerous blackface acts of this nature. This act gets a pretty good start, then slows up and gets started only near the close- The flash act is contributed

Bobby Watson

by Zastro and White Revue. Here is a classy dancing act, has speed and the performers seem to know what it is all about. The vaudeville section of the new policy bill has received a dignified start. The acts run to quality, not quantity. And I can tell you right here that the first all-talker, “Syncopation,” is a novelty knockout for many reasons. Here is one story of hoofers in vaudeville and in night .clubs that is not too serious. The merry laugh is generally always present. You get the impression at times that the actors are kidding themselves and have a fine time at it. The featured group in this pic-

ture is Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, a mighty good orchestra of the modern type. The director has placed these musicians in sort of a way that they become a vital part of the story. They play a lot of hot dance tunes, a nifty love waltz number, “Jericho,” and “The Tin Pan Parade.” Here is the first orchestra in the sound movies that appears
