“The Blue Bowl,” to be presented at the Opera House next Wednesday evening by the Little Theatre Society, of Indianapolis, recently was presented at the Murat Theatre, Indiana’s largest playhouse, to a audience which completely filled the big theatre. And, as a testimonial of its approval by the Indianapolis audience, the dramatic critics of the Indanapolis newspapers, spoke most flatterngly in their review of the performance. Robert G. Tucker, of the Indanapolis Star, in speaking of the performance, says: “The Blue Boyl”, proved to be a keen, double edged and thoroughly enjoyable satire.” Walter Whitworth, dramatic critic of the Indianapolis News, says: ‘‘The producton was an excellent one well staged and adequately acted. It is as light and airy as an improbable comedy should be, smooth running and replete with smart dialogue.”

Silver Flash GASOLINE
Fast vaporization at comparatively low temperatures becomes in cold weather a particularly important characteristic of a motor fuel. Because this fast vaporization insures quick starting and quick response to the accelerator at all stages of a cold drive, it means satisfaction instead of annoyance to the driver; and because fast vaporazation means more complete combustion on a wintry day, it lessens danger of impairment of lubrication by unvaporized fluid. Scored cylinders in cars that are driven through the winter are more common toward early spring than at any other season. Leaking of unvaporizecl gasoline into the motor is the chief cause of this condition. It can be avoided by using Silver Flash Gasoline.
