MARY BROOME rs
PUT ON TO SUCCESS
Little Theater Society Offers
PretentiOns Production.

MARY Broome," a four-act comedy,
which bordered perilously near the tragic
the greater part Of the time, was pre-
sented by The Little Theater Society of
indianapolis last night 1t is the most
pretentious production the organizatto
has given this season, the other bills be-
ing made up Of several short plays.
George Somnes, in the leading role of
Leonard Timbrell, gave finished, bril-
liant delineatiOn of the character of the
selfish, impractical, irresponsible young
son of wealthy father, who is forced
into marriage with the housemaid, Mary
BrOome, who is a steady, lovable char
acter, well portrayed by Mrs. Eugene
Fife.
The story deals with their married life,
his Indifference to anything but his own
pleasure and her great love for the lit
tie SON The climax is reached when he
goes on a luxurious pleasure trip, being
forced to pawn his mothers jewelry to
do so, when their son is lying danger
ously i'll and while he is gone the baby
dies. He does not arrive home until
after the funeral, when he finds his
wife is leaving him to go to Canada with
he first love- the milkman.

owing to his eccentric temperament and
lax moral ethics, are Mortified when he
allows her to go without argument
The roles as a whole were well
presented, Mrs. Fife possesses most
pleasing stage personality. She is at all
times devoid of the "staginess" that
marks many amateur players. Mrs. Tim
brell was pleasing as the self-effacing
mother and Montgomery s.. Lewis as the
conservative master Of the house and
domineering father, was excellent. Miss
Lulu Kanagy brought a burst Of mp

NEWS FAVOR
WITH HARDING
CREATES STIR
WatsOnites See Senior Senator
as Chief Dispenser of
'Plums.'

President-elect Warren G. Harding has
struck a sore blow to a combination of
Republican politicians in Indiana by in
Guiding Senator Harry S. New among
the best minds In America called to
confer with him at Marion, Ohio.
1t is not that they resent the fact that
Harding haS sought counsel from New,
but they feel that the apparent favorit-
ism displayed by the President-elect for
the senior Senator gives him an unfair
advantage over Senator James E. Watson.
The latter has long been held ur by
his partisans as having been the Staunch
friend and con1dante OF Mr.. Harding. yet
so far as known he has not been sum-
moned to confer with the President
elect on matters of state like his col
league, Senator New
The fact that New, and not Watson, is
closer to the throne, will have far-reach-
ing effect on Republican affairs in In
diana after March /. 1t means that New,
who will come up for denomination and
reelection. viii be given the advantage
In dispensing Federal patronage in In
diana in order to build up his fences
Perhaps it is an adroit maneuver on
the part of the senatorial Oligarchy to
see that their ranks remain unbroken
during the Harding regime, but it is diff
ficuIt to make the Watson supporters
see the Justice of the move, If remarks
dropped here may be taken as criterion
of their sentiments.
New. as the dispenser Of Federal
patronage in this State, and backed by
an intimate personal friendship with the
President-e!ect. will come periiOusly near
having the Republican organization in
the hollow of his hand.
II that works out, as many leaders be-
lieve, it VII thwart the plans of Sen
ator Watson and Governor-elect Warren
It. MeCray to control the organization
during the next two years. 1t will mean
that Watson, after all Of his ambitious
years to guide the destinies of his party,
win again follow the leadership Of an
other man.
Senator Hardings public protestation
OF friendship for Senator New is partic-
ularly CALLING 10 the WatsOnites at this
time too. 1t was ehe Watson camp that
took upon itself the duties of guiding
the feeble Harding organization through
the primary n Indiana last spring. and
no Senator got more publicity for bring
ing about the nomination Of Harding
than did Watson.
After all of those heroic endeavOrs to
curry favor with the man who was des-
tined TO become President of the United
States, it is mighty difficult for the
Watson men 10 look on with cOmplacency

sible to him, he said.
All thought Of politics, either civil or

contamination, the mayor said.
In my opinion, there should be a law
giving us the power to appoint q board
Of trustees to have charge of all the city

medical institutions" he said. This
board Of trustees ought not be predomi-
mated by doctors. 1t ought to be pre-
dominated by iaymeh. but the best med
ical authorities in the county ought to
be on 1t.
1T should be composed ofNso many
men and women appointed by the mayor.
so many by the Circuit Court and so
many by the general public.
With the right sort Of a board APP
pointed we ought then to consolidate the
