On reaching my typewriter, after
seeing the current show at B. f. Keith's,
I said: Say, typewriter, what was
wrong at Keith's yesterday afternoon 2"
and the typewriter hammered this out :
The audience was to blame for about
tWo-thirds of the situation, and the ac-
tors were responsible for the other third"
The audience yesterday afternoon was
restless and it appeared to me that sew
eral Of the acts were bucking a stone
wall.
BOyce Combe opened in a song not Of
best taste about being seasick, and there
appeared to be disposition on the part
Of few of the audience to make his
progress as difficult as possible. His
sneezlng song was well done. Maybe 1t
was his afternoon clothes which caused
a gulf to come between him and his au-
dience.
Florence Roberts and Frederick Voge-
ding, in a comedy playlet, 'Blindfolded, :"
worked to better effect than Mr. Combe,
and their efforts were rewarded by some
of the audience. This sketch does not
give Miss Roberts a chance to use her
splendid talents, although the little she Is
called upon to do is well done. The
work Of Mr.. VOgeding is polished
Paul George opened the bill with "a
Kitchen Musicale" in which he plays q
number of instruments. Babcock and
Dolly succeeded in breaking the ice" by
q series Of clever stage falls on the part
of the man OF the team. The first real
home run Of the bill yesterday afternoon
was scored by Bash Lynn in an English
character and William Rowland Of very
pleasing voice This team by the clever
work Of Lynn and the voice of Rowland
easily secured the love Of the big audi
enCe.
Sammy Weston and his Melody Charm
ers, five young women, who play many
pianos at the same time, and a dancing
miss, found the audience In good humOr
after Lynn and Rowland were permitted
to leave the stage. The Chsrmers pre-
sent a pretty act, but not d startling one
Weston does some satisfactory dancing.
1t remained for Mel Klee, in black
face, to melt any coldness on part OF
the audience, and when he finished his
patter about the doings Of the actors
behind the scenes when the audience Is
not around, everybody out in front was
really human. Klee smokes cigar dur
ing most Of his act, and I admit sat
too near the stage or n draft blew the
perfume" Of what is called a cigar In
my direction. The act is good. but the
cigar is different. Klee warns right up
to his audience and before he finishes
every one has found their hands.
The closing act presents w. Horlick
and Sarampa Sisters in series OF we'll
executed dances.
Sometime ago a very distinguished
actor told me that the success Of any
show depends to n large extent upon the
temper Of an audience. That Wac well
demonstrated yesterday when some ae-
knowledged clever acts found the atmos-
phcrc rather frigid.
So have permitted my typewriter 20
do all the talking" and the name OF the
A. Keitb,e all week. W. D. II.

More Faculty Power in
Future Collegiate Work

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-More power is
given to college faculties in the admin
istrative affairs Of the intercollegiate AS
sOciation of Amateur Athletes of America
in recommendations made public Monday
by the executive and advisory commit
tees of that body.
One of the most important changes
suggested is the merging of the advisory
and faculty committees with a combined
membership OF five instead of eight Here
tofore the faculty committee has served
merely IN an advisory capacity, with no
voting power.
The changes urged in the athletic pro-
gram are the substitution Of a three
mile run for the two-mile event, and the
addition OF the javelin and discus throws
and a 440-yard hurdle race.
Thomas II. Taylor of the Massachusetts,
Institute Of Technology urged the hold
ing OF the country race on some
other date than an important football
game so that the interest will not be de-
trseted from the event.

DENTALS CLASH
WITH BUTLER
Local College Elves Meet il
Second Battle of Season
at 'Y' Tonight.

Every Indiana Dental player is on
edge for the big game with Butler Col
lege to be played at the Y. ". c. A.
gymnasium at s o'clock tonight. FEEBLE
will referee and Head will umpire.
Butler athletes are Just as determined
as the Tooth Pullers to capture to-
nights battle. Butler won the first
game, 81 to % That contest was played
at the Butler gymnasium and it was
the first game Of the season for the Den
tails It was the foul goal shooting of
Hooker that won for the Christians. In
that game the Dentals scored twelve field
goals and Butler scored ten, but the
ability Of Hooker to cage foul goals gave
his team the viewpoint margin.
The "Y' gymnasium is strange to each
team. Both Butler and the Dentals have
practiced on that floor just one time and
have never played game there The
lighting, the size OF the playing space
and other conditions make q change OF
floor something that 1t is difficult for
any team TO contend with. The game
tonight being on neutral floor, means
that the teams meet on an equal footing.
II Butler wins tonight Coach Page s
team is the college champion OF the city.
If the Dentals win the Tooth Pullers will
play Butler a third game in March. That
game then would decide the champion
ship.
There will be no reserved seats tonight.
1t will be a case Of first arrivals getting
the best seats.
Butler showed more strength against
Rose Poly than did the Dentals. but
both indianapolis teams trounced the
Terre Haute quintet While both coaches
have not named their line-ups, the way
the teams Will start tonight probably
will be:
Butler. DeDtals
