AN ANCIENT AND BRITTLE QUAINTNESS IS restored to the stage in the Theatre Guild's resurrection of “The Rivals,” a comedy of the very, very old school in which humor is hot veiled and plots are allowed to grow like weeds, Agilely played and presented, the produc tion opened last night at English’s and will be here for two more nights and a Wednesday matinee. The company is on its way to New York, where it will open at the Shubert next Tuesday night. It’s a brittle thing, as we say, and the Guild is risking its money and time against the hope that colonial comedy can find a place among the chromium-plated soph tion of later days. It is a risk, to be sure, but if the response is ES oo * cient to keep the resur from dying, then it is the audi- The Cast ences who will profit most. “IME RIVALS™—A comedy In two acts For here 1s a comedy that Very | and nine scenes by Richard Brinsley likely is the forerunner of many Swtrtawn, prune We oy hese - un under | Jaken Meniy and He offecis on | lamer Cand shares ware 4 palpitating young bosoms.

A Turn-About

MISS LeGALLIENNE by chance, is finding herself in the peculiar position of practicing what she preached. When Mary Boland, who was to have been the star, became ill in St. Louis, Director LeGallienne quickly took over, This Walter Hampden explained

By now it is generally known

to see his son marry the right girl or be broken, Mr. Hampden performs excellently, as one would ex-

pect from such a peer. He | It opens Friday at the Indiana.

‘|vehicle thefts so far, we anticipate

that “Hellzapoppin’” is likely the

loudest, screwiest show foisted upon the public in many, many years. It wowed Broadway, wowed the road and now they made it into a movie, with Olsen and Johnson, the original screwballs, of course.

in a curtain speech which allowed the audience to revel in his gorgeous diction and bearing, and out-of-character. And so it is Miss LeGallienne who innocently misappropriates the multiple-syllable words in such a manner as to bring forth constant titters. It is a role in which one had anxiously anticipated Miss Boland, for she is one who can spread gleeful confusion thickly. The character of Mrs. Malaprop remains quite a phenomenon. She watches over her Lydia, played by the beauteous Halla Stoddard, with the most skitterish attention. For downright laughs, though, it is Bobby Clark who supplies them in the greatest numbers— quite naturally, of course. He is the fabulous Mr. Acres, a dunce who falls in love with a beautiful girl and loses her without ever once bruising his unknowing heart. As he prances abouf in blue pants and yellow § ings, pacing with bended knees like Groucho Marx and always missing the resting place for his armylike Leon Errol, Mr. Clark is a terrifically funny man. Schooled in the hardy field of burlesque, he is one of our best comics. I doubt if he ever misses a laugh. He wants to get polish and culture, he does, but it's mighty uncomfortable.

Grrumph!

AS SIR ANTHONY Absolute, the stern old gentleman who is going

grrumphs with great volume, pounds the floor ‘with his cane and stalks in the greatest tradition. One doesn’t forget him. One cannot, however, give per« sonal treatment to all the cast. To the last, it performs admirably. Helen Ford, with her entracte songs and pert dancing, adds much more than a minor note of good fun. She becomes almost a major character. Philip Bourneuf, both in his deliverance of the prolog and the role of Sir Lucius O'Trigger, is correctly cuning. Frances Reid makes a frail Julia and Donald Burr an adequately dashing Capt. Absolute, All, in fact, show the results of keen direction and an under standing to match as they enact the flippant story of Capt. Absolute, who disguises himself to court his sweetheart and almost loses her in the process. It's only that the play's appeal will be limited to those who love to fondle an antique.

WATER SERVICE ADDED FOR 3133

Pumpage Record Set and Facilities Increased During Past Year. .

The Indianapolis Water Co. extended its service to 3135 new customers during 1041, set several new records in water pumpage and made progress in construction of water production facilities. The addition of 3135 customers brought the total to 84,247 at the clase of 1041, H. S. Morse, vice president and manager of the utility, said the majority of this increase resulted from record-breaking building in the city along with additional installations to industries and commercial services. The gain is the largest since 1025 when enforcement of sanitary ordinances and new home building produced 4255 new customers. All pumpage records were broken during the year. A total of 13, 667,760,000 gallons were pumped, an increase of 1,680,740,000 over 1940, Mr. Morse said the greater use of water by industry accounted for the record. July was the top month with an average of 46,060,000 gallons per day. The company's new Fall Creek
