masters favor, and in summing up he
would exclaim with great gusto as he
made his points. and that is the sum

Now the lawyer had really no de-

OF the ridiculous supplied him With

said to the Justice; 4 have a great re-

his voice and arm ON high, our fore

S. H. S. Notes

Friday night the senior class gave
a Landi's orchestra dance but as re-
suit of half hearted support by the
townspeople they went deeply in debt.
There were about sixty couples pres
ent, half of whom were from Morris
Vile. The music was great and all
eEjoyed themselves immensely. We
sincerely hope that this win be the last
time that the school has TO take back
seat The senior play will probably be
put on May IA.
An inter-class track meet was held
after school Friday afternoon. All the
contests were held except the runs. The
results were: Seniors, 30 points; jun
iors % points; sophomores I: freshmen
!. eighth grade point and seventh
grade point. The runs will be held
some day next week

COOLIES LIKE TO PLAY TOO.
China's Instinct for Recreation Nor

A teacher in one of the girls schools
in Pekin, China, has found that al
though the play instinct of Chinese
children has not been widely cult
waited, these youngsters have capa-
cities for play much lige normal Ams-
leans, according to an article in the
World Outlook. She was skeptical at
first OF being able to interest the lit
tie Chinese girls, but one afternoon she
took six OF them to a vacant lot to
try them out. She began some games
Before the play had proceeded very
far, the girls We're in raptures, and
when the teacher and her six play po-
neers had to leave at dusk they count
ed more than 50 little Chinese girls and
boys in the games. Many of them
had baby sisters or brothers strapped
to their backs, She said they followed
her for more than three blocks. asking
when she was coming again, and if she
would teach them more games.
Another incident indicating that Chi.
mas play instinct is normal is told of a
group of oldsters-coolies in Shantung,
who were sent from France. A man
who was born in China and was a bit
skeptical about the Chinese desire for
play, tried out the playground idea
with the coolies He took them to an
open space, got football and told
them the principles of rugby. They
were so eager to get into the game
that he soon had 200 lined up on each
side. One team" was The Shirts"
and the other, not having on that ar
ticle of apparel was The No Shirts. .
The teacher was in the center, and
says he never had such thrill even at
the kick off Of Yale Harvard game
as came when he realized that the 400
coolies had caught the first CLEAN of

MORRIS PLAYS A GREEK SCULPTOR
Who LoUes Chrysis, Famous eauty in Aphrodite'

When F. Ray Comstock and Morris
Gest send the uch-discussed spectacle,
"Aphrodite," to the Murat for one week,
beginning next Monday night. an Indi-
annapolis stock favorite in the person or
Mckay Morris, who was here for sew
eral summers with the Stuart Walker
Company, will have the leading male role,
that of Demetrios, a Greek sculptor, who
becomes enamored of Chrysis, one Of the
most famous courtesans Of all times. Last
season at the Century Theater, New
York, "Aphrodite" was the most talked
of play of the year, and Mr.. Morris
achieved a big personal success.
Being the son of an army officer,
Col Louis Thompson Morris Of the
46th Cavalry, Mckay Morris first
saw the light of cay at FIT. Sam Hous-
ton. Texas. He was educated in Wash
ington, D. c., and the Germantown Aca-
DENY in Philadelphia, with a view TO
fitting him for West Point. But happen
ing to meet David Belaseo, young Nor
ris was persuaded to give up the Army
idea to pursue a stage career. Mr.. Be-
lasco gave the young aspirant his nrst
part. that Of a waiter in the famous
Child's restaurant scene In THE Gov
ernor's Lady" He was also under
study for Eugene O'Brien, the film star,
who, at that time, however, was play
ing juveniles and had no Idea that IN
n few years he was to achieve such wide
popularity before the camera.
William Elliott, who at one time was
interested with his father in-law, David
Belasco. in the presentation OF The Gov
ernor's Lady" formed a producing part
nership with F. Ray ComstOck and Norris
Gest. and one Of the first ventures Of
the trio was the George V. Hobart NOR
atty play, Experience" Mckay Morris
WAS engaged by them TO create the role
Of Blue Blood in the New York produc-
ton Of the play. In which he established
himself before metropolitan audiences as
an actor Of fine promise and distinction.
The following year when Stuart Walk
er, who had been a stage director with
Mr.. Belasco. and had an opportunity OF
observing young Morris during the re-
hearsaIs of The Governors Lady"
branched out as a producer Oh his own
account and started his Portmanteau
Theater, he engaged Morris as a member
of the company. 1t was the finest OPP
portunity Norris had ever had, and he
created ten leading roles that season in
he various plays Of Mr.. Walkers rep
ertory. Among them he created the lead
Ing roles IN all OF the Lord Dunsany
plays.
It was during this engagement, to be
more specific, while Morris was appear
ing as the king in Lord Dunsany's The
Laughter OF the Gods" that z. Lyall

Mysticism Basic
Theme of Elaborate
Picture Spectacle
Helen Garden Returns to
Silver Screen in 'DeUiPS
Angel

Hypnotism and its mysterious phe-
nomena has provided the theme for many
q literary and dramatic masterpiece, but
It seldom has provided the basis Of
drama for the screen.
Du Maurier's "TriIby" and The Tales
Of Hoffman," have long been standard
histrionic vehicles which have interested
millions Of theatergOers.
And at last such d theme has been
used for the basis Of a play for the sill
yer screen.
"The DEVILS Angel a photoplay pro-
duced under the supervision of Lajaren
a Hitler, noted artist and illustrator, is
a story Of artist life and Hindu craft
in which the esoterlc influence OF the
occult science Of hypnOtism sounds the
dominant note.
Laid in the Latin quarter Of New
York and Paris. where mems Intentions
and women's conventions are cast to
the four winds for the sake Of art, this
photopIay Of studio life is transformed
into a weird tale Of the Orient, replete
with the mystery OF psychic phenomena
and Hindu intrigue.
Helen Gardner. who Will be remem-
bered as the star OF such screen sue
casses as Cleopatra" The Breath Of
Arabv." "a Princess OF Bagdad." The
Wife OF Cain" "A Sister to Carmen"
ana numerous others, returns to the
screen in the leading feminine role, play
ing opposite Templar SAKE.
Miss Gardner probably will be seen in
person In Indianapolis when the picture
is given its initial presentation here.
Peggy O'Neill, famous artist model. and
known throughout the country as ''the
magazine cover girl" is included in the

he had made a great discovery. But
when Mr.. Gest later met Morris he recog-
niZed him as the young man who had
played Blue Blood for him three years
previous
1t was a singular coincidence that
David Belasco. who gave young Morris
his first chance. should assume charge
Of the anal rehearsals of ".Aphrodite.' and
should coach Mckay Morris in the biggest
role he has ever had.
