HOOSIER NOVELIST AND PRESS AGENT WROTE
Comedy of Chorus Girl Credit Indianapolis
A Comedy of Oh,
By WALTER d. HICKMAN.

Indianapolis written and Indianapolis
produced.
That's Honor Bright" a comedy
which was brought to life last night
by the Stuart Walker Company at the
Murat after it had nestled for some time
in the Imagination of Meredith Nichol-
son, Hoosier novelist and Kenyon Nichol-
son, known as Nick" who has been the
press agent for Mr.. Walker for several
seasons.
indianapolis and the whole State as
well has every right to feel proud of the
combined efforts Of the two NichOlsons
because they have turned out a sweet,
light, clean, rapid, interesting and, above
all, a well-written love yarn with a
clever "Jszzed up" ending. 1t is this
"a time touch which 6istin cuisines this
comedy from a thousand others.
Sure it's a love yarn, but the jared"
saucy, rapid and sparkling dialog puts
trademark of the NichOlsons IN a
brand of stage entertainment which to
me is vastly superior to THE Lottery
Man" and heads and shoulders over
Wedding Bells" as a composition.
At times Honor Bright" approaches
the gmartness Of "Tea for Three" The
clever Romeo and Juliet bit in the first
act of the Nicholson play between the
Bishop and Honor Bright goes wee
bit over anything in Tea for Three
Those who claim to know shows have
raved for several seasons on the tea
play, but il is necessary to praise the CO
authors of Honor Bright in Developing
a unique use Of Shakespeare's love yarn
Then from this high level Of the bard
the authors by contrast introduces us TO
chorus girl who uses language not APP
proved by Webster and who smokes Gig
srettes and gushes over the word
"dearie"' She powders and paints and
loves a pup dog. 1t is in introducing
this chorus disturber that the Nicholsons
have put a jazz" touch to this merry
comedy.
Then in the third act. the two authors
have TO rely upon the audience falling
for a quick romance. but the ending
seems reasonable because Honor Bright.
the chief character Of the comedy. is such
dear that one can not help loving her.
The authors have sacrificed the terrible
last minute kiss and leaves one with the
pleasant thought that when the moon
comes out at night that Honor will be
kissed and muchly loved by Richard Bar
ringtOn.
The thing that made home run with
me last night was that the Nicholsons
have told their story with as little pad
ding" as possible and when they have
told their yarn. they stop.
The show will be brushed up in spots
as It progresses and a few little more
jewels of dialogue will be added. Even
as Honor Bright" stands now. il gave
me- personally speaking. more satisfac-
ton than "Dulcy" did last spring.
I must tell you all about the 'crys'
for Author, Authors etc, which swept
over the house at the close of the second
act That grand and glorious Indian
apolis HOOsier pride just swept all over
the Murat and after the propec length Of
time the two Nlcholsons landed on the
stage to receive a just tribute at the
hands Of a magnificent indianapolis audi
enCe.

CHILD ACTORS
OF MERIT AT LYRIC.
The applause that greeted "Ths Rose
buds" at the Lyric yesterday was not the
perfunctory recognition given to child
actors. On the contrary, 1t was the rec
ognitiop Of genuine merit on the part Of
the seven diminutive performers.
THE Rosebuds" are three girls and
four boys, all of a wee age, who danes
and sing with all the poise and self con
idence of their elders Grace is not
lacking in their dancing In fact, one pair
Of the youngsters shows fine promise in
their dancing act.
They have personality that Is unusual
In child performers, and they earn their
applause.
The Kee Tow Four appear in orien-
tai clothest and have an original back
ground, but they have a number of pcYu-
lar airs and old melodies that make them
the more acceptable. Ogden and Benson
supported their part of the musical pro
gram with several new songs which were
well received. They furnish their music
consisting of a piano, and their duet
meets with strong approval
Black-faced comedians supplied some
comedy that was well approved. Arm
strong and James are the cork artists
and they keep up a clever line of run
during their act.
Kelso and Lane have an unusual song
and dance act that does a big share OF
the entertaining. Their feature song is
a novelty, and their dancing is above the
average.
The Dancing Hagsns open the bill with
a number of dances, old and new. Gene
and Myrtle Conroy also have a dancing
act
Emile and Wylie close the bill with an
unusual acrobatic act. They perform on
two rings that are balanced on a paral-
lei bar. and on these, they do their feati
OF strength and balancing.
These acts will be shown at the Lyric
all this week

cars to the Pitman- Moore laboratories ut
Zionsville. The cars will leave the Ter

In letter to members, Wallace o. Lee,
chairman Of the visiting committee says,
There is possibly not a modern indus
try in regard to which there is less know
edge in the average mind than biological
laboratory"
This trip to the Pitman-Moore labora-
tories will enable those who are interested
or curious, to inform themselves on the
interesting and usual methods used In
this distinctive indianapolis industry
Business men expecting to make the
trip are requested to notify E. L. Fergu-
