brow" stuff, I would rave all over the
department concerning "Monna Wanna
The truth is, this play leaves me cold"
I certainly was given the opportunity
to enjoy this extravagant dream Of
Maeterlinck last night at the Murat be-
cause Mr.. Stuart Walker has supplied
prettier settings than the author prob
ably ever dreamed could be produced on
the stage. In producing this play, Mr..
Walker has reached the highest point
of his artistic career IN giving Indian
apolis the things that are considered
great.
In the magic hands of Mr.. Walker,
Norma Wanna" is an exquisite picture
a paradise of beautiful lights, colors,
shades and even vapors. Mr.. Walker has
produced beautifully MaeterInck's prize
package Of words and long speeches. No
one in my humble opinion could nave
done better with this affair. Mr. Walker
makes "Vonna Wanna" one Of the pref
test pictures ever produced in the stage.
To be In fashion, / know that l should
rave" the second chat Maeterlinck's name
is mentioned. l should forget that Master
linck has written nothing more nor less
that a "bedroom" farce. I do not be-
come shy at the name Of Maeterlinck. l

ond act falls TO convince me Of the very
thing that the author intended.
II is my opinion that Maeterlinck has
IA led to give the second act the high
qualities Of the first and third acts. only
for brief minute in the second act does
tho author convince me that his theme
could be real. The author is more con-
vincing in the third act when Norma re-
turns from the soldiers tent as pure as
she entered the place. Maeterlinck does
not rise with the majesty OF the theme
which he started in the first act after n

tubes slowed that they had never fully

in the direction of the music. put his
hands to his ears and laughed, and gave
other signs that he could hear Follow
ing this demonstration. his mother put
him through many other tests which
which proved his hearing present. From
this point On there was n gradual i'm
provement in his hearing. He soon
learned 10 talk and in six months time
his hearing was normal and speech I'm

to the effect Of his deafness upon his
