BEAUTY EXPERT PLAYS ROLE OF ! MIRACLE MAN Plain Girls Transformed Into Eye-Delight by Makeup Wizard. Women with crowsfeet under the eyes, over-rouged women, plain women, wrinkled woman, watched a man In swallow-tail coat work under a battery of incandescents In the Travertine room of the Lincoln. He answered beauty questions. He snapped out replies to methods of applying makeup. From a corner a low, feminine voice dared this professor of pulchritude with: "You can’t make me beautiful. My neck's too long; my mouth’s too wide.” The swallow-tail coated man, V. E. Meadows, beauty expert at The Times Beauty Show', turned at the challenge: "Give me just fifteen minutes and I’ll make you pretty.” The voice, that of a young girl with a pie-eater’s mouth and pointed chin, dared Meadows. Its owner was stubborn as she stepped on the stage and permitted Meadows to apply creams, rouge, mascara. She Becomes Beautiful Fifteen minutes passed. The crowd “ah’d” with each deft blending of the rouge in Meadows’ hand. The Gibraltar chin was rounded out to the eye. The narrow nose became Grecian. The pic-eater’s mouth became a desire. ‘‘Why, she’s got a profile as good as Myrna Loy, the movie actress,” praised one spectator aloud. And she did have, because of Meadows, a magician at makeup, who isn’t afraid to take a woman’s dare. With a running patter of conversation, Meadows told, as he does twice daily this week in the Lincoln, the faults of women in the use of cosmetics. ‘‘You paint like savages. Your necks are eighteen degrees darker than your faces. And when you tell me you haven’t the time to make yourself beautiful, you might as well tie a rock to your foot and walk to the nearest river and jump in,” he declared. Doesn’t Flatter Crowd For Meadows isn’t a flatterer, a “kid-glove” handler of women, in his lectures at 2:30 p. m. and 8 p. m. daily. “You’ve dared me; now I’ll dare you,” he challenged, ‘just let me see your powder puffs. They’re not clean! You use them many times a day and each time you’re puting dirt on your face. I can put a makeup on you that’ll last all c’ay, that will not be seen under any type of lighting. “Cosmetics can be used to advantage by women from 12 to 180. Why don’t you wash your faces instead of depending altogether on cold cream? If you want brittle hair, use lemon and vinegar rinses after shampoos. “Brush your hair more if you want it to be beautiful. Why, you don’t know how to brush your hair. You’re likely to club yourself with the back of the brush. I tell you, you w'omen are laying down on your job of being beautiful,” he concluded. Meadow's’ lectures are given daily in the Lincoln’s Travertine room at 2:30 p. m. and 8 p. m., without cost. Each Indianapolis woman attending is given free advice as to the types of creams and cosmetics suitable to her individuality. Meadows’ talks continue through Friday.

WAGNER COMES TO LIFE IN THIS CITY German Grand Opera Company Gives ‘The Flying Dutchman’ the Fine Touch of Drama and of Melody. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WAGNER, Richard his first name, has more meaning today than he probably has for many a moon because of the way the German Grand Opera Company presented “The Flying Dutchman” at the Murat last night. Here is symbolic musical drama done by a company that knows its singing business as well as the dramatic and human part of the >pera. My greatest fault with some of the opera that I have seen and heard has been th£t the principals c§in not act half as w ? ell as they can sing.

Last year when Ona B. Talbot and S. Hurok brought the German Grand Opera Company to this city, I went on record stating that these people knew how to act their opera as well as sing it. Last season on a three performance basis, we as people who desire to hear opera, did mighty, mighty

poorly from a box office standpoint. I still maintain that we are not a three performance city of grand opera just yet. Last night at the Murat, confident that we would have grand opera presented correctly and even wonderfull, we failed to fill every seat in the Murat. That Is a ghastly tragedy for this city. I have always stood on my right to give my individual opinion of every single attraction in this city. The record of this company stands unchallenged. I am sure that the Chicago Civic or the Metropolitan Opera of New York could not have done better with “The Flying Dutchman,” and in some respects could not have equaled the individual performance of the principals of the German Grand Opera Company. As we have no civic or individual home for opera and symphony concerts except the home provided by Mrs. Talbot, it is about time that Indianapolis wakes up to its responsibility. It was a disgrace that the Murat was not sold out last night. We are growing in our appreciation for grand opera, but we may wake up when it is too late to receive grand opera and symphony concerts at the hand of Mrs. Talbot. Opera is not food just for the gods or the few. The same with symphony concerts. That Ona B. Talbot knows through her bank account and bitter experience. It is in the first act of “The Flying Dutchman,” that we receive the symbolic intent of the opera from Wagner’s score. Here we have the men of the ship. Here we have Daland, just arriving on his ship, and he has a daughter at home. Them the weird thing, the “Flying Dutchman” arrives and he is cursed by the Devil. He must find a woman true to him or be alw'ays cursed. Here we have the dramatic and human touch of song and of acting delivered by Richard Gross as Der Hollaender and by Laurenz as Pierot. We see- the delivery of the Hollaender in the hands of the quaint and honest Daland. It Is Gross and Pierot who lift the first act to its great musical heights of voice. Sincere, beautiful singing. Then your second act. The great spinning song done by the women as Senta (played by Margarethe Baumer in marvelous voice and in as fine a dramatic sense as I have ever seen on the operatic stage) goes into the period of fear and warning as she prays for the picture of “The Flying Dutchman” on the wall to come to life. Then the door opens and her father and Der Hollaender arrive. Then the really melodious singing of the score of Wagner by Pierot. He catches the melody and the spirit of the whole thing that I wanted to yell out with pleasure. Miss Baumer and Gross lift the tragic side of this encounter to the realm of great dramatic acting as well as great singing. The only fault that I found with any member of the cast was the first few minutes of singing contributed by Johannes Sembach as Eric, the lover. After some bad notes, he was able to get hold of himself and deliver a good performance. In the third act we have the tragedy of the opera—the suicide of Sent* and the freeing of Der Hollaender of his curse of the Devil. From a scenic standpoint, this production was the heaviest, in my experience, that has ever been pre-

SENATORS ON GUARD Solons Assured of Safety From Wet Spies. Du T'nitrd Pratt* WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.—Senators went about their duties today glancing back over their shoulders despite the assurances from Republican Floor Leader Watson that they need have no fears from prohibition agents. Extreme vigilance throughout the senate wing of the capitol, even beyond that of war times, was relaxed in'only a few particulars and the squad of senate detectives organized by Sergeant-at-Arms Barry to patrol the lobbies and galleries still was functioning. Watson announced late Tuesday the precautions were taken because three senators had received warnings that they had better remain out of the senate chamber for a few weeks; because tw T o senators reported their offices had been ransacked during the night; and because several others reported they were being trailed by prohibition agents who evidently were trying to find out if the senators were obeying the dry law.

There was some confusion as to what plan for procedure would be adopted. In British circles it was understood the conference probably would proceed, regardless of the French crisis, and that no second adjournement wuold be taken by the conference. In other quarters, however, it still was believed probable that the conference would halt its negotiations until anew French delegation arrives in London.
