A VARIETY THEATER HAS A BIRTHDAY Presenting ‘The Eleventh Commandment,’ the Berkell Company Goes In for Melodrama. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THEATER managements lik* actors have birthdays and the Lyric is having its third this week under the present management. Tho idea is to give an eight-act vaudeville bill with no enormous name demanding a fortune for a week's engagement. * The idea has worked out wonderfully well at the Lyric this week. The result is that the bill has novelty, good taste, a lot of comedy and some splendid melody. And that is what vaudeville needs today—just theater of entertainment and not just big names with an empty vaudeville offering. It is true that Lee Sims and Ilomay Bailey have their air public.

but so many radio names have turned out to be just failures on the vaudeville stage. Os course Sims knows his theater but lately he has relied to a great extent upon his unseen audience. His method of approach thus season on the stage, and that includes Miss Bailey. Is the legitimate method. Both put a lot of personality and understanding in their songs. You know that I consider Sims one of the hottest pianists we have today. Miss Bailey fits into the picture with splendid taste. Their act is one of melody and refinement and they never sink down to cheap or offensive jokes. Years ago when it was a novelty, Mike Ames put on girl's clothes in a university show. Since he left school, he took It up as a profession. Today female impersonation is notj a novelty. Ames has to “Joke'' the idea to get by. That rule allows very little opportunity to put “art” t into the work. He has the looks when in dresses but he lacks the voice. Stamm, Darnell and Company have taken the strong man idea and with the comedy idea "of seeing I what eating potatpes has done for ! me” have built an act around an old idea. Again time has changed an idea. It is the personality of Stamm that puts this act over. Lake. Harris and Hayes go in for eccentric fun, their Florodora burlesque being the best. The Six Franklins are acrobatic in nature. Smith and Hutchins have real showmanship and the right idea , concerning the delivery of eccentric material. There are other acts on the bill,,

The Four Tests for a Safe Financial Institution / £TT Mr. Ralph H. Richards, of Chicago, has spent many years in the investfl II ment advisory field. He has four tests for a safe financial institution, which are ... (1) The basic need for its services; (2) its record for consistent safety and return in 1931, the test year of the depression; (3) its record in past depression phases of the cycle; and (4) managed whose wisdom can be proved by personal acquaintance. What non-government investment institutions in the country have more ably met this test than your building and loan associations in Marion County? There is no question as to their basic need. The Indianapolis history of home building and home ownership graphically illustrates this service rendered. Regular, semi-annual dividends have been paid by them, not only in 1931, but for the past fifty-seven years . . . and Marion County building and loan shares are still worth 100 cents on the dollar. Every building and loan association official in this community is a responsible citizen who has shown by his activity during past years that he firmly believes in this community as a basis of prosperity. Each of these executives is known personally to the investors in his association. Such personal contact safeguards not only the investors but also the building and loan association. Invest your money where past events have proved it to be safe . . , and where it has earned with regularity. Marion County associations jT invite your investigation.

but I am confused on the names The movie Is “The Woman in Room 13.” Now at the Lyric. n a m INTRODUCING JACK PAIGE WITH BERKELL The controlling factor that makes "The Eleventh Commandment” Interesting theater, as produced at Keith’s this week, is the mental villain work of Jack Paige, as Vere Hamilton, a man who made millions but picked his own women. Paige is giving this production good acting melodramatic theater. He knows his theater and he knows the great importance of “business.” I ask you to watch the work of this man because it has that definite touch of knowing how to produce definite theater. I can pay him no better compliment. It has been my rule not to give away the story of a murder mystery. There is "murder” here. The solution is necessary and you will stay in your seat until it is solved. Asa play it is crude at times, then tense and then powerful because of the power of Vere Hamilton <Jack Paige). The author has used many stage tricks for results. The play is more mechanical than just conversation. Watch the telephone stuff done by Idabelle Arnold (and she wallops this part into a hit) and Phillip Brandon. Something little different. When I saw this show. Frances Dale was very fine on lines but the natural "business" was missing.
