Lonesome, he wanders about alone, and meets a fellow druggist , : nd his sweetheart, Conchita Monj lenegro. The two pleasure seekers persuade him to attend the ball, and his CO .me consists of a Tarzan ! leopard skin. What happens at the ball proves to be a fitting climax to a very amusing situation.

The very roster of the players is impressive: William Kent, internationally loved comedian, who was cast by Ziegfeld as Captain Andy Hawks in his Casino theater New York production, and on the road, has been engaged for the same role in Forest park, while the Parthy Ann will be Maud Ream Stover, also of the Ziegfeld production.

Telling its story in seventeen! scenes. "Show Boat” was one of the most lavish productions of Ziegfeld's career, and on an even more elaborate scale Municipal Opera is presenting it. for the magnificent size of the stage in Forest Paik provides special opportunity for spectacular treatment in such scenes as the "Cotton Blossom' at the Natchez levee: a water front gambling saloon: the upper deck of the "Cotton Blossom"; the Show Boat’s auditorium. the Midway Plaisance of the Chicago world's fair and the Natchez levee, to name but a few.

Broad Ripple Treasure Hunt to Draw Many “Mom, I wanna go hunt buried treasure up in Broad Ripple park this afternoon—me and Jimmy and Betty Lou want to go.” Comments of this type will be heard in many Indianapolis homes for at least a month as a result of the announcement of the Broad Ripple park management that a "Treasure Hunt” has been added to the amusement opportunities at the pleasure resort. The “Treasure Hunt” will be tomorrow. Buried in the sands of the big concrete bathing pool beach will be small medallions, as well as elsewhere in the big sixty-acre playgrounds, which will bd redeemable in real money to those who are lucky enough to find them. Ralph L. Bennett, park manager said. Manager Bennett is entrusting the job of burying the medallions to a small group of park attaches, sworn to secrecy that they will not reveal their whereabouts. He may take over the role of “Captain Kidd” himself so that he shall be the only soul in the city who knows where the “treasure” sites are. “We are restricting the digging for these medallions to persons using no instrument larger than a common table knife, and any person. who is found by park guards using a spade or a larger tool, will be asked to leave the park,” announced Manager Bennett. “Most of the medallions will be buried in the sands of the bathing pool, but some may be hidden in the park for those who want to practice their ‘treasure hunting’ in the shade of the big trees, or along the Midway. “We are giving out no information as to locations at this time, although later we may issue cryptic instructions at the park, but for the time being all locations will remain a deep-dark secret—not too deep, however, for all medallions will be buried less than six inches beneath the sand or soil.” There is no entry fee charged for “treasure seekers” to enter the fun and contest, but it. will be open to all ages who put in an appearance at the park, he explained. The first medallions will be ready for "explorations'’ or “excavations” tomorrow. Pryor Much Experienced Roger Pryor. Mae West’s next leading man in Paramount's "Belle of the Gay Nineties,” embarked on the stage as a boy. He now has fourteen years of footlight experience behind him.

Many Stars in Cast of Lyric Film •One More River’ Adopted From Novel Written by Galsworthy. “One More River." the screen play version of John Galsworthy's novel of the same name, is the current week's featured attraction at the Lyric theater with Diana Wynard and Colin Clive sharing stellar honors at ihe head of a brilliant cast of stage and screen notables. A dramatic story of exceptional power, ' Or.. More River” was written by Galsworthy as the last in the Forsyte Saga. It details the developments which follow a tragic marriage in high society, with a London matron fleeing from her sadistic husband in Ceylon and being unjustly suspected on account of her subsequent friendship with a young man whom she meets on shipboard. The climax brings a surprising conclusion to a story which at all times commands intense interest. The disillusioned wife is portrayed by Miss Wynard. Clive has the role of the husband. In the supporting cast are such distinguished players as Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Frank Lawton, Reginald Denny, C. Aubrey Smith, Henry Stephenson, Lionel Atwill, Kathleen Howard, Gilbert Emery, Alan Mow-bray and Jane Wyatt. A young Broadway ingenue of whom much is predicted. Miss Wyatt makes her screen debut in the picture. The combination of R. C. SherrifT as adapter of the novel and James Whale as director adds lustre to "One More River” for it was this pair whose similar work won laurels for such hits as ‘‘Johnny's End” and ‘ The Invisible Man” A Joe Penner comedy in which the “Wanna Buy a Duck? comedian introduces many new laugh concoctions, and an Oswald cartoon entitled “Chris Columbo Jr. are among the short subjects that complete the program.

Dr. Herbert Chase announced that the operation vas a success and that he expected Miss Farrell to be ready for her return to California in a comparatively short time.
