THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., SATURDAY, FEB. 3, 1923.

NEXT WEEK AT. THE

1HEATRE

WASHINGTON An unusual interest Is centered tn the second week's offering of tne Olmi-Goodwin Players at the Washington theatre of the new American comedy of New York life, East SideWest Side," by Henry Hull, which recently closed an eight months run at the Nora Bayes theatre in New York City. The assertion is that "East SideWest Side" is one of theinost ideally suited plays for stock purposes that has been produced la New York in several years. One feature of this delightful comedy that is of interest to Richmond theatre-goers is the fact that it was writen by a former Indiana boy, Henry Hull. Mr. Hull was born in Evansvine, at a place well known to the residents of that city as "Hull's Hill," named for his ancestors which were among the early settlers in the "Hoosier" state. "East Side-West Side" will afford Miss Ella Malmrose, the leading woman, and Wilbur G. Mayo, the leading man, ample opportunities to display their individual talents and will also introduce two of the members of the Olmi-Goodwin Players ,who have not yet appeared in Richmond, Miss Arline Althoff, second woman, and Raymond Appleby, juvenile man and comedian. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE As Eugene O'Brien steps down out of the picture onto the speaking stage in "Steve" at the Murray next Monday night, the regular vaudeville bill which opens tomorrow will only play Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Headlining the bill will be Hyams and

Evans in their skit "The Quakeress."

The story of back stage life, reveal

ng a romance between an actor and

a girl-with stage aspirations is told

by means of song, dance and conversation. The audience is afforded a surprise during the run of the act, which developes into and unexpected climax. Another prominent feature will be

"Birdland Follies" a troupe of trained

birds who offer a decided novelty,

Driscoll, Long and Hughes are three ' male singers who bill themselves as

"Irishmen With Italian Voices." The

latest and best in the vocal line can be expected when these boys come on

view.

A series of new bicycle feats, presented by the Three McDonalds, two pretty girls and a skillful man, will be another offering. ... Opening Thursday Al Sweet's Jazz band, consisting of 10 men, each one a singer as well as a musician, will headline the bill. This is a combination band and male chorus, and we predict them to be the biggest hit of any act appearing here this season. Senator Murphy will discuss timely topics of the day. His remarks on the "European War" is worthy of note.

SATURDAY Murray "One Night in Paris;" vaudeTille. Murrette Marion Davies in "When Knighthood Was in Flower.M Palace Richard Talmadge in "The Unknown."

Who has read a story of the Northwest Mounted Police without feeling

the thrill of their courage and indom

itable will? These men who go out to the distant forests and plains to

keep order and uphold the law, gen

erally go alone among men who are

unfriendly, if not Jiostila Through Intense cold, fierce storm, and the my

riad dangers of the trail, men of the

Mounted push on to carry through their appointed tasks. These tasks usually call for the risk of life in bringing outlaws to justice. The law must be vindicated and toll must be taken from those who wilfully destroy human life. This is the kind of outdoor tale that William Fox presents in "Trooper O'Neil," starring Charles Jones. It was written by George Goodchild, the well known fiction author, who has contributed other stories to the screen. The picture has been received very favorably wherever shown. Charles Jones' ability has long been recognized by' the most discriminating picture followers. Intertwined with the swift action of the melodrama is a finely developed love theme but it is not of the "mushy" brand. "Trooper O'Neil" will be shown at the Palace theatre for three days, beginning Sunday. MURRETTE How would you like to be the homeliest girl in town? If you were a

reigning beauty would you, even if you were in pictures, be willing to cover up your beauty to appear as the homeliest girl? Yet that's what Leatrice Joy does in Marshall Neilan's new picture, "Minnie," released by Associated First National. The story, which i3 coming to the Murrette theatre Sunday, revolves around Minnie's unlovely appearance. But while Miss Joy has temporarily shed her beauty, Marshall Neilar did not ask her to make a blank of her mind; so that behind the homely face and the awkward manners of Minnie there is a power that makes the story speed along merrily, blending humor and pathos from which spring forth some of the most hilarious entertainment Marshall Neilan has put on the screen. Matt Moore steps into the fun, too, playing the role of a forgetful, but inquisitive reporter. He looks forlorn. He wears a coat that for length would fit a giant. His face is freckled like Wesley Barry's. In the supporting cast will be seen George Barnum, Minnie's father and the hotelkeeper who makes radio- his hobby; Josephine Crow ell, Minnie's seventh stepmother: Helen Lynch, Minnie's stepsister; Raymond Griffith, a chewing gum salesman, and Tom Wilson, hotel janitor.

FIRM REAL ESTATE

MARKET INDICATED FOR 1923 IS REPORT

(Robert E. Downing in the New York

Tribune) Indications now are that the real

estate market in 1923 will be very like

the present one that is, strong with

out too much activity. In general, business throughout the country is improving crops have been good, money

Is in good Bupply and interest rates

are favoring the borrower. The cost

of construction and operation of buildings i3 high and is increasing. Taxes federal, state and city are absorbing too large a part of the net income after

operating charges, but the prospects

of relief in that direction are not

bright, I think we are overbuilding.

and that we shall have considerable oversupply of certain classes of buildings in the next few years. Real estate men generally are optimistic by nature and some by profession; in New York City they have seen developments that have gone beyond their wildest dreams so that on the whole their optimism

has been more than justified, but we

are facing new conditions, with no ex perience to guide us.

The great basio industries of the country are getting in better condition find the health of the people is good.

There is very little unemployment.

Wages will probably rise instead of fall. The rise in wages will be followed by a rise in prices of commodi

ties in general, so that we mav look

forward to another year of inflation to be followed as usual by attempted de-

riation. If either of these processes is not carried too far for the next year or two, we may have a reasonable market, but I am afraid It Is asking too much at these times for people to be moderate. On the whole, 1923 prom

ises to be a most interesting year.

EKES OUT LIVING BY SELLING "HOT DOGS'

Miss Ella Malrose

(By Associated Press) SPRINGFIELD, 111.., Feb. 3. Fires burning for years in coal mines, deep beneath the ground, are one of the unsolved problems of coal mining in Illinois. Many of these fires, walled up years ago, recently have caused trouble in southern Illinois mines, according to Robert M. Medill, director of the state department of mines and minerals. The Donk brothers' mine at Collinsville, the North mine of the Illinois and Indiana Coal corporation at Witt, and . several mines near Springfield have been compelled recently to seal up portions of their workings to prevent the spread of smouldering furnaces, which burn without stopping in the hidden chambers underground. One mine was ordered closed entirely. The fires start in the refuse which is left after the coal is dug and are caused by a process similar to spontaneous combustion, according to Mr. Medill. The miners call them "gob

fires," from the word applied by coal diggers to the debris in the mine. They do not flare up in flame, but burn slowly, smouldering away for years until they eat themselves out of fuel. Chambers where these fires start become a mass of live red coals and must be sealed up to keep the air from them.

The trouble is caused when a fire eats its way through a wall and threatens to break through into the mine workings. Sometimes the smouldering coals eat up the supporting coal pillars resulting in weakening the support for the ground above. These fires can not be extinguished by water, Mr. Medill stated. Water only makes them worse. It is the chemicalization resulting from the mixing of water and the refuse that causes the original combustion. The only way to stop the fires is to remove the burning coals from the mine. Many such fires may be seen on slack piles on the surface in this section of the state. These can be flooded with water and extinguished, Mr. Medill stated.

You already know her, don't you, folks? In one short week and with a vehicle that has given her but little opportunity to display her talent at its best. Miss Malmrose, the leading lady of the Olmi-Goodwin stock company, playing the Washington theatre, has won a place of esteem in the hearts of her ever-growing flock of admirers. One finds in talking to Miss Malmrose that she has made the same "rung by rung" advance in her career that

marks the progress of practically all persons who are found at the top of their respective professions.

"I ve known since I was three years old that I would make the stage the scene of my business life," Miss Malmrose tells those prying for the secret3 of her professional career. "My parent were not stage folks, but they were fond of attending the theatre, and I was always taken with them when they attended. It just seemed natural for me to chose the theatre when I was through with boarding school at Chicago. Not In Stock Long "I have not been in stock so very

long, but I travelled from coast to coast and through Canada in Oliver

Morosco's "Peg 'o My Heart, and I have also been in vaudeville and have writ

ten and produced my own vaudeville

sketches.

Miss Malmrose also has had some experience in the movies, for she tells with the trace of real amusement in

her voice of the time she went into pictures because she had a cold and couldn't play the .stage. "It was in

New YorK." she said, "and I remem
