CASEY TO STAY HERE FOUR WEEKS MORE Stock Producer Will Bring Guy Bates Post to English’s to Play Original Role in “The Masquerader.” IN conjunction witlf the announcement that his dramatic stock company at English’s will extend its season for four extra weeks, Arthur Casey also made public the information that he will bring Guy Bates Post, the distinguished actor, to appear here as guest star in his famous dramatic success, “The Masquerader,” as the first of the holdover attractions. Casey’s original plans for a twenty-week summer season in this city were altered yesterday when he found it possible to extend his lease for English’s until Saturday, Sept. 26. His engagement was to end next week with the presentation of Judith Lowry in “Skidding,” but the fact that

no touring attractions were booked into English’s for the month of September enabled him to obtain an extension of his lease. Guy Bates Post, who has recently been acting in anew play on the Pacific coast, will arrive in Indianapolis Sunday to confer with Arthur Casey regarding the production of “The Masquerader,” which is to open Sunday night, Aug. 30. Post is completely familiar with all the details of the production, having appeared in it for many years with great success. He has played at the Murat here in the piece on the stage and at the Circle as the star of the motion picture version. “The Masquerader,” which John Hunter Booth dramatized from Katherine C. Thurston's novel, is of I such magnitude that it requires a revolving stage to be built in the j theater here especially for its production. The play is in nine scenes, and Guy Bates Post is on the stage virtually all the time in the dual I roles of John Chilcote and John Loder. The eminent actor is said to give his greatest performance in “The Masquerader,” although he is favorably known for his work in "Omar, the Tentmaker,” "The Nigger,” "The Virginian,” “The Bird of Paradise,” “The Play's the Thing,” and other ! dramas. Lillian Komble-Cooper, who was Post's leading lady for a number of years, has been signed by Arthur Casey to appear opposite the star in “The' Masquerader” at English's. tt u u CHIC SALE HAS COMEDY ROLE IN MOVIE Charles (Chic) Sale, America’s foremost runß character actor, is featured as the Grand Army vetteran with Walter Huston and others in “The Star Witness,” the Warner Bros, picture, which comes to the Lyric for one week starting Saturday. In Chic's early youth the family moved to Urbana, 111., and there he stayed until well into young manhood. His genius for comedy characterizations was constantly developing, and when he was a student at the University of Illinois, in Ur-

bana, he was in great demand for fraternity entertainments. He later went to Chicago and started his career in vaudeville. And for years Sale was a star attraction of the Orpheum and Keith circuits. His characters of Lem Putt, Filbert Twitch, Bert Blurt and Gran'pa Summerill, the man who knew Lincoln, have become classics of the world’s stage. For the last five years he has had his own company on Broadway and on tour offering musical revues under the Shubert auspices. His most recent was “So This Is Paris.” ‘ One of Sale’s greatest bids for fame, in addition to his work as an actor, w T as his authorship of the little book of humor, “The Specialist,” which he followed by “I’ll Tell You Why.” It is not as Lem Putt that he appears in "The Star Witness.” His character instead is that of a lovable, indomitable, tolerant and spirited old Grand Army veteran who single handed routes a gang of terrorists who held a city at bay. Besides Sale and Huston, the cast of “The Star Witness” includes Sally Blane, Frances Starr, Grant Mitchell, Dickey Moore, Bobby •Ernst, Edward G. Nugent, and Ralph Ince. tt tt a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “On the Spot” at English’s, “Silence” at the Circle, “Huckleberry Finn” at the Indiana, “Bought” at the Apollo, “Caught” with Frances Dee at the Ohio, “Transatlantic” at the Lyric, “Sporting Blood” at the Palace, and burlesque at the Mutual. •

BLACKTOP 'LEAK' IS STEMMED BY HIGHWAYBOARD Boling’s Ouster at Caucus Seen Result of ‘Dope’ Exchanges. Owen S. Boling assistant to Director John J. Brown of the state highway department,, proved to be of small assistance to Brown at a recent commission meeting it was learned today. For when the commissioners started talking concretely about their blacktop program, Boling was asked to leave. The blacktop program has been a source of reat friction among the commissioners and a cause of considerable grief to the director. So when this highly dynamic matter was up for discussion Brown was shorn of his assistant for the time. Commissioner Arthur\Sapp of Huntington is reported to have asked Boling to leave. Told to Absent Self It is said that in the past details of such executive sessions have early been in possession of material interets involved and although no accusation of the source of such leaks was made Boling was told to absent himself. Budget committee approval for the position held by Boling has never been given. Brown alone is responsible for Boling and his $4,000 unapproved highway job, the commissioners declare. He brought him over from the state tax board office. Duties Are Obscure Brown gave him the title of assistant to the director. Just what assistance he has given remains obscure. He is reported to have given legal advice to persons engaged in litigation with the commission. Connor Ross, deputy attorneygeneral, is the commission counsel. Boling has sat on the sidelines and watched Ross handle several suits. He was an observer when the at-torney-general’s office prosecuted the Ralph Rogers stone suit at Bloomington, but he never helped any.
