BERKELL TO OFFER NEW MYSTERY PLAY Margery Williams and Philip Brandon Have the Leading Roles in The Ninth Guest/ at Keith’s Sunday. IT takes all kinds of people to make a world and all kinds of plays to make a theatrical season. With this idea in mind, Charles Berkell looked through a few stacks of new plays and picked out a mystery thriller, not a trap-door, shrieking skeleton one, but a smart, amusing, chilling one that is calculated to send the audience home a little shaken, but not altogether useless. The Ninth Guest ’ is its name and it is from the pen of Owen Davis. The Ninth Guest” is set in the most modern of all settings, a penthouse in a business building, far above the streets, its lower floors deserted at night—cut off from the outside world—and safety.

Eight prominent men and women are invited by unsigned telegrams to a party. They arrive, each of the guests, only to find that some other is his bitter enemy, and none knowing the identity of their host. As they are about to leave in indignation, a voice from the radio informs them of the purpose of bringing them together. The purpose Is to create situations that will force their self-inflicted deaths, one by one, during the course of the evening. Further, they are warned that attempted escape will result in sudden tragedy. Death is the ninth guest. The only possibility of survival is that their respective wits will be sharp enough to foresee and resist the influence of suggestion by the voice of the unseen host. Margery Williams, Philip Brandon, William Pollard and Virginia Stevens have the leading roles. Mildred Hastings, William Maloney and the rest of the Berkell cast are in supporting parts. The curtain will rise on “The Ninth Guest” promptly at 8:10 the opening night, Sunday, and on all other nights at 8:15. The usual matinees, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, begin at 2:15. n n tt Indianapolis theaters today offer. "Broken Lullaby” at the Indiana, "Business and Pleasure,” at the Apollo; “Dancers In The Dark,” at the Circle; “The Gay Caballero,” at the Lyric; “Lass That Off,” at Keith's; "Hell Divers,” at the Terminal, and “Sky Devils,” at the Palace. u n u Neighborhood theaters tonight offer: “Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde,” at the Hollywood; “Rich Man’s Folly,” at the Mecca; “Bad Company at

the Daisy; “Subway Express,” at the Stratford; “Girls About Town,” at the Garfield; “Shotgun Pass,” at the Irving; “This Reckless Age,” at the Emerson; “Shanghaied Love,”at the Hamilton; “Woman from Monte Carlo,” at the Rivoli, and, “High Pressure,” at the Belmont. FLEES FROM ACCIDENT Motorist Leaves Hat, Robe Behind Speeding from Crash Scene.. Police today are holding a hat, handle from an automobile door and a robe, which were left behind by the driver of one of two automobiles which collided Thursday night at Twenty-fifth and Alabama streets. Rody Roderberg, 23, of 2539 North Talbot street, one of the drivers, told the police the other sped away after the crash with lights of his car out, and ignored a stop signal as he fled north on Delaware street.

FEDERAL CREDIT FIRMGROWING Millions Being Loaned by Finance Corporation. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, March 11—The Reconstruction Finance Corporation now is a going concern. In fact, it has developed with the amazing rapidity of a Jack’s beanstalk of finance. It’s only six weeks old, yet it has grown to a point where it occupies three floors of an office building, has rows at its directors meetings, lends millions of dollars, and is being criticised for working its help too hard. The corporation, created by congress to tide beleaguered business over days of depression, has taken over the eighth, ninth and tenth floors of the old department of commerce building. Harassed bankers, seeking loans from the corporation, get off the elevator on the ninth floor and are escorted straight to the office of Charles G. Dawes, corporation president, Dawes personally sees as many of those having business with the corporation as is passible. Incidentally the corporation has 40,000 applications for jobs on hand. EX-CONSUL ~TO SPEAK Dr. E. R. Fulkerson Slated for Address on Far East. Dr. E. R.
