MEMORIES REVIVED" IS
STYLE OF KEFTH'S BILL

Keith's bill this week might have
all been entitled Memories Revived"

other years-from the "cave man"
conqueror of fair woman, to the group
of songs by veteran minstrel basso
and his wife, the pair of them regis
tering to the combined age Of 144
years young" Nor was the time
honored John Barleycorn forgot.
"The Honeymoon" a little comedy,
was the top-line playlet by virtue of
its mirth. William Gibson and Re-
gina Connelli had arrived at Niagara
Falls on very modern honeymoon,
with Tootsie the poodle and all the
modern womans powers of spoiled
oppression in evidence And then
HE" came into his own as that cher

IL 10 all about the so-called double
standard OF morality, once a thrilling
topic OF discussion. now rather shop
worn. But there lis a twist To IL here
IL 10 rather the attitude OF the errinS
woman upon her future. whether she
should admit her moral defeat and
slide down. or with Tennyson rise
on stepping stones OF our dead selves
TO better things"
Dr. Fsvel 10 aslow with his great
scheme for rebuilding the lives OF the
errinx. He would enable them TO re-
cover and live happy and useful
lives" That 10 his theory behind the
plans for building his ssnitorium.
And right here we see several women
who are In need Of just such minis
tration.
First and foremost there is Mrs,
Mildred Dunham, pretty little
widow. whose name is being coupled
with Robert Sinclair's in various es-
capades. Then there IL Geraldine Du-
Quesne. whose platonic relationship
with Frederick Spencer. has continu-
cd for some eight years or SO. And.
lastly, there Is Elinor Wyndham who
has nnaiiy ended a certain ciandes-
tine relationship with Sinclair.
Mrs. Dunham. fighty thing. is about
to be named as correspondent in Mrs.
Sinclair's suit for divorce. The evil
dence gathered by an inscriptions
lawyer Is threatening trouble when
Mrs. Sinclair is killed in a motor car
accident. All might have been well
had the attorney not been unscrupu-
lous.

others. Carhart. the lawyer, proceeds
to get to work. IL is his prying

LIVELY BURLEQUE AT
CAYETY FOR THIS WEEK

There is something doing every
minute in Jack Singers latest bur-
lesque show. which is holding forth
at the Gayety this week. "Vamping
the Tramp" Is the title given the
two-act skit. and while II is absolute
ly devoid of any plot, the capable
principals and the nifty chorus keep
the show moving at high speed froD
the opening to the last song.
Harry Lander is the commander
chief OF the fun brigade and his
barrage OF fun keeps the audience in
an uproar all the time.
Then there is Ameta Pynes, a come
Iy little blond lady, whose dancing
has won her much fame among bur-
lesque fans. Her vampire dance with
Leo DAILY was a gem.
Willie Lander, Bobby Moore, Hen
rietta Byron, Dolly Gordon. and Rob
ert Miller are other members of the
company who show ability.
An added attraction is Tarzan, the
ape man or man ape, which was
amusing in a number of tricks. Sam
Wilson, a colored performer, sang a
number OF blues songs in Yiddish.
which was novelty to many.

"Stebbing Stones at National

who is bumped on" after the Ar
Sonne show. At this point the highly
versatile Mr.. Ames becomes the buddy
OF the slain man, and. true TO the
dying wish OF his partner. goes back
home and fakes the role OF son TO the
bereaved and blinded mother.
The fact that the buddy Joseph
Martin. is the living image OF Charley
Crosby, the sonny" OF the piece. 10
the main premise OF the story.
The Selwyns have done well with
the staging OF the play. All the trap
pings OF the late and well-known war
are ruthlessly dispensed with. and
save for a neeting glimpse into the
corner or a ward In an A. e. #. hos
pital, the comedy has all OF It's action
In the States.
Emma Dunn, as the mother. is so
natural ana 80 poised that she is con-
vincinsly real, even when plauslbility
becomes strained. Twice IL falls TO
her lot TO deliver a distinct shock to
the audience. and In both cases her
acting Is superb.
Robert Ames. playing a dual role.
bears a heavy burden OF responsibilitS
upon his capable shoulders. His hu
morous situations are naive and en-
Kaging, and he shows his wisdom in
sou6 ot
amusement from his role rather than
working toward a single Rabeiaisian
laugh at stated intervals. as is the
fashion Of most gentlemen indulging
In light comedy.
Lillian Lorraine, the third co-star
Is q sort of Observation-Disclosures, por-
traying gold digger role with all
the insight which her weli-known
services atop Mr.. Zeigfeld's roof have
given her prior rights to. The fair
Lillian Is brief in her wit and In her
skirts. ana her Ring Lardner dia-
logue Is good.
Russell Medcraft. as a precocious
youth, is 'cleverly pleasant. Lotus
Robb. as the heroine. makes the best
of a rather stilted role. Pauline
Qaron deserves mention\Sor her work
AZ the Little Sister Of the returned
soldier.
Mr.. Hobart has an apparently
highly impossible situation for the
acting of this exceedingly we'll
played comedy. but no one doubts any
coincidence, with thousands of his
torically true ones coming to life
every day as the result of the ,ate
in Europe. The play
drips with sentiment. which is a far
better thing than having a comedy
bulge with beds, or crooks" with
"gats" and hard-hearted police in
spectors.
Tho selwyns have hung up another
success.

on stepping stones" OF her own dead
self TO better things.
Kathwne MscDonelfs Elinor is
smooth and convincing. Especially
good 10 she In her bis scene with Car
hart She quite dwarfs her physi-
cian-husband, who becomes as part
OF the scenery. Perhaps there was
nothing else for him 10 do after his
typically masculine attitude toward
the double standard or morality. His
surrender is as graceful as he can
make IL.
Pedro de Cordoba. as DR.. Favel. re-
sembles no physician OF our acqusint-
ance not even any physician sum
moned from the realms OF imasina-
ton. He has. on tho whole. rather
thAnkiess task. for he mast maintain
theories shattered by almost every
body else surrounding him. That 10
difficult. and unconvincing.
Quite a beam of sunlight Is Gerry"
Duquesne. portrayed by Mana Bryant
who is light in her moods, thoroughly
modern in her methods, and entirely
effective in her own big scenes. One
wondered at the unmistakable dense
ness OF Freddy Spencer But there
are such men.
A. e. Anson's Carhart WAS tantAliz-
ingiy perfect. As . schemins lawyer,
he earned the detestation OF his audi
ence. He never overemphasized a
single action which might destroy
the picture he would leave. His Is
quite a triumph.
stepping Stones" is stage ser
mon. 1t lacks the rant and hypocrisy
OF many pulpits. gaining In effective
ness by its quiet progression. In
deed, to moderns IL is entirely true
In many of its aspects. But why sug-
gest that a latter-day audience pos
sesses its own collection OF skeletons.

TIMES CRICKET" FINDS
WARM Time AT GARRICK
Thurston, Magician, Takes Live
Rabbit From His Pocket.
"Dear Mr.. Ashley:

Dear Mr.. Ashley:
When you gave me that pass TO
the Shubert-Garrick and told me 10
cover Thurston's show on Its second
weeks run. 1 was glad because
knew II was Shrine night" and that
Henry Lansburgh and his Aimss
Temple mobiles would be there In full
array. ! had a suspicion too that
Noble Thurston would do few or his
little tricks on Henry and he did. but
| never suspected for a moment that
lac WAS going TO pick on your critic
he way he did.
81 was sitting there In B.1 with no
thought OF danger In my mind when
that man Thurston came down, STUCK
his hand down my coat collar ana
pulled out a lot OF colored rags which
! am positive were not there when
left home-there were miles of them'
"Tben. as though he thought that
were not enough. he told my Innocent
little five-year-old daughter that
also had rabbit down my back ana
told her 10 pull IL out by the ears,
which she did, much TO my personal
embarrassment, because J. do not feel
that that was a good example for a
growing child.
''He said she could keep IL II she
would tell him what. she would name
IL. SO she said she would call IL
Henry" after Mr.. Lansburgh. And
then a man behind me whispered TO
his lady friend that was in the show
and / suppose j was, for that mat
ter. but not the way he meant.
"Oh. yes, Thurston did lot OF
tricks In which / did not participate,
like the levitation act, making a girl
disappear and then finding that she
was hiding in a trunk suspended from
the top of the auditorium by a rope
and discovering a rooster and a pack
OF cards concealed in Henry Lans-
burgh's coat-Henry doesn't play
cards-but can't remember them all,
for lost my program when he pull
ed the rabbit out of my coat. 1t was
fine show, outside OF that.
But, Mr.. Ashley. I do not think il
Is right to treat poor newspaper
man like that, and i think you should
write to the manager Of the Shubert-
Garrick and tell him your critics
must not be interfered with like that
Suppose / should be there next week
and Hamlet would come down and
take Yorick's skull from my pocket
1t ought not be allowed. and / hope
you will take action.
"Yours. very truly,
CRICKET"

There 10 so much good In the worst
of US and SO much bad in the best OF
US that IL hardly behooves any OF US
70 talk about the rest of us. as step
ping Stones" proves rather conclu-
sively. But IL required considerable
of q wrench before DR.. Jean Favel
assimiiiated his own pet theories. He
had to discover a skeleton In his own
closet before he could sympathize with
other skeletons. And. at the very
end. with the curtain slowly descend
ing, there was some doubt that he
really understood the working effec-
tiveness of his own theories. There
was q rather detached air about him
as he continued his dictation with

Someone in a tank town once said
OF local performance OF .Uncle

played very well. indeed. but lacked

critics opinion in reviewing the pre-

cast OF this sentimental, wholesome
comedy is well-nigh perfect. but lacks
the support OF . most refractory Aire-

CLINTON LEADS. ALL
INDIANA TOWNS IN
GROWTH ANNOUNCED

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Clinton
may well point with pride to its 1920
population. In the past ten years it
has jumped from a town of 6,229 to
a live-wire, aggressive city of 1882.
The new figures represent an in
crease of rs per cent. 1t has the big
gest per cent growth of any Indiana
city so far reported.
Peru, Ind, is living up to it's name
of being one of the substantial county
seat towns of the state. Uncle Sans
count shows that Peru has gained
1851 citizens in the past decade, an
increase of ISL per cent. The new
population figures. announced within
the past week, place the 1920 count
at 1851.
Mayor Rushes Back
Newt Meyers, mayor of Jefferson
vile, was in Washington when the
Jeffersonville census report, showing
nounced. The preliminary Jefferson
vile count shows population of
10.09S, a loss of ga persons since
1910.
Senator Watson was interested in
learning of the gain credited to Rush
vile, his home town. Rushville made
a II per cent gain. The 1920 count
is 5,49S.
Whiting. which has given the Ma
tional House of Representatives ita
chief of pages. John McCabe. is keep
ing up with the Lake county growth.
1t now has 10.14O citizens. represent
ing gain of $50 per cent.
Gains % Per Cent
Connersville has gained % per cent
within the past ten years. It's al
most in the 10000 class. the exact
figures for 1920 being 9,901.
Logansport's count of 21,626 repre-
sents gain of 13 per cent. Logans-
port is the county seat of a county
of thrifty farmers, the home of many
railroad employees.
North Manchester. Ind. must be an.
. excited spot now. There are at least
two things to excite its interest-the
1920 census report showing a gain OF
III per cent in population and John
Isenbarger's chances of becoming the
Democratic nominee for governor
The new count of men, women and
children is ALL. West Terre Haute
is still town of only 4.307, but its
citizens are a bit proud, no doubt. that
this figure represents gain of 33.7
per cent.

SPRAY AND PRUNE TREES,
FOR FRUIT SAYS MURPHY

All orchards should be sprayed with
q solution of lime and sulphur to keep
the trees immune from insects, E. F.
Murphy, county agent, said Monday.
Murphy also recommended the prun-
ing of trees to insure good crops. In
pruning trees, the place where the
limbs are severed from the tree,
should be painted with a good wood
preservative. In pruning grape vines
farmers should cut last years growth
off between the second and third eyes,
concluded the county agent.
