GROUP OF PLAYERS HAVE BUSY SEASON The Sutherland Players Will Open Their Activities With Thomas’ “Just Suppose” Last of Month. AS the initial production of the 1929-30 season of the Sutherland Players, Norman Green, director, has scheduled A. E. Thomas’ “Just Suppose,” a delightful bit of romantic theater which imagines what would happen if the prince of Wales came to this country on an official visit and then went gadding about the hospitable Virginian countryside incognito. This production, which opens the fourth consecutive season of the players, will be presented on Monday and Tuesday nights. Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, at 8:15, at the Sutherland Presbyterian church. Twenty-eighth and Bellefontaine streets.

“Just Suppose” has been successfully produced in Indianapolis twice within the last several years, by Walter Vonnegut’s stock company, in whose production, George Gaul played H. R. H. and Marjorie Vonnegut. the irresistible southern belle; and also by the late Gregory Kelly’s company, who played the prince himself, and with Ruth Gordon as Linda Lee. When “Just Suppose” was first produced at Henry Miller’s theater in New York in October, 1920, it came close upon the heels of the departing prince of Wales, about whom the rumor was current that during his official visit in Washington he had gone adventuring in Virginia one night and had met and fallen tremendously in love with a young, sympathetic American girl Hence, the play; or hence, the rumor. It was not known which developed first. For all that, the impossible, but pretty story may have been suggested by the Old Heidelberg theme, for in both the audiences have the rare pleasure of seeing the two young lovers bidding farewell to each other, forever more. “Just Suppose,” therefore, has a tremendous appeal—of pathos, romance, but also, comedy. The cleverness of its lines, especially those spoken by the native Britishers who haven’t forgotten any of their Eton parlance, provide humor, charming and welcome. The playwright gives us a satisfying balance of pretty romance, humor, brilliance and wistfulness. The following cast has been selected for the Sutherland production—Kingsley Stafford. Robert Dunlavv; Hannibal, Russell Young; Mrs. Carter Stafford, Fannie K. Fort: Montgomery Warren, Riley

Virginia Brackett Green, scenic and costume director of the players, has designed two attractive sets for “Just Suppose,” and is to be assisted with the lighting effects by Russell Young. Green has announced that during the remainder of the season negotiations are already made to produce “The Outsider,” by Branon; “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,”

by Kate Douglas Wiggin, and “The Three Graces,” by Kenyon Nicholson. On Nov. 8 and 9, the players are to conduct the first annual religious drama tournament to be held in this part of the country. This event is open to all local church-centered dramatic groups, seventeen of which have already made an official entry or an inquiry. Virginia B. Green, chairman of the tournament, will accept entries up to and including Oct. 15. nan NEW FUN AT BALLROOM Melodies, hot and fast, entrancing and enchanting will captivate all dancers who visit the Indiana roof ballroom this Friday evening, for Tom Devine, manager of the roof, has planned a “Battle of Music,” a veritable battle of notes, tunes, dreamy waltzes, and lively fox trots. Friday evening, designated as Collegiate night, has always been a great favorite with young Indianapolis and to add more zest and pep to this night, Mr. Devine has made special arrangements to present two orchestras, Jan Campbell and his Washington and Lee Collegians, who have been playing in the Roof this past week and the new orchestra coming in—Dewey Wright and his famous Arabians, who will play a limited engagement. The Arabians, w’ho hail from sunny California, have played all of the principal cities on the way east and have found great favor with dancers because of the dancibility of their music. To say that they are an oasis in the land of syncopation, would be putting it mildly. With these two syncopation units playing alternately the entire evening dancers will have their opportunity to dance continuously to the strains of first one, then the other. Manager Devine also announces that he has also arranged to present every lady with a small viol of perfume. With two popular dance orchestras battling their way with music into collegiate favor, Friday night is expected to be the most joyous dance festival so far this season. a a a Charlie Davis and his band are appearing in anew stage show, "Honeymoon Cruise” at the Indiana, starting today.
