full force. English divorce courts worked
overtime the first year after the armi-

resulting fro mthe war. Germany re-
acted more slowly but the Teutonic di-
vorce mills are now grinding out separa-
tion papers with full German efficiency.
I'm the year 1920 in Berlin there was
one divorce granted for every eighth
marriage consummated," declares the
Berliner Tageblatt, following an inTes-
tigation into the cause of the domestic
disa agreements. Children still play the
major role in holding together families
for one-hah of the divorced couples dur
ing the past year have been childless."
Continental marriage conventions are
notoriously different from those in the
United States, and cases where men and
their wives separate and go their own
way without resorting to the divorce
courts are so common that the social
Grundies scarcely ever raise an eyebrow.
The continental custom whereby hus-
bands and wives agree to disagree makes
more marked than ever the growing re-
course to the courts

was accused as the guilty party" con-

Then Bill struck the platform again and
the men marched out of the place.
Here was the wonderful sight of one
man presiding over more than 500 pris-

There was no prison parlor about them.

does not mean that one who has no i'm

adapt himself to the make believe, can
not enjoy to the utmost this drama Of
love and heart breaks.
Just the reverse. The Gregory Kelly

Of the human element, which deals with
the emotions, that does not require some
work of the Imagination? The play
teaches one thing, If no other, that every
one on this old earth is susceptible to

what his position in life, his age, his race,

The story is one woven around the re-
cent visit of the Prince of Wales to
the Uuited States. Bored by the con-
slant strain upon him, of attending re-
ceptions, dinners. making speeches, going
here and there. the Prince, with his COM
panion slips away from Washington on a
jaunt down into Virginia. He intended
merely to stay a few hours, but he met
the girl, and as a consequence, stayed
overnight, missing engagements. and did
not leave until the following afternoon.
The reason was, he met the girl. But a
Prince does not belong to himself. He

love. to give way to his emotions, and

with the result there are some touching

How their love envelopes them, how
they fight down their emotions, make one
of che prettiest love stories that has been
enacted on the Indianapolis stage this
summer. The work of Gregory Kelly, as

HELEN AND TON SCATTER SUNSHINE AT MURAT
Kelly s a Musical Acts

Helen Burch and Tom Powers are
scattering large bunches Of sunshine at
the Murat this week.
That is the task the authors gave to
two of the characters in the comedy, "My
Lady Friends"
1t is in the second act Of this comedy
that Miss Burch and Powers hit a pace
which makes the play enjoyable. Powers
sits down to a piano and plays the we'll
known Sunshine" song which was used
by the late Clifton Crawford in getting
this comedy out of a rut. Thank good
ness that an actor can actually play
piano and not trust to luck that pianist
hidden behind the wings will play and
stop at the right time. Powers, with the
aid Of Miss Burch, who is dressed in
cute bathing suit which looks like it is
made for beach use instead Of In the real
ocean, put this little song over in splen-
did fashion.
1t is remarkable the way this little
Johns role. She has the looks, the per-
sonality, the voice and youth. She doesn't
overburden the role with overacting
Powers is just as natural as the sun
shine. He plays the role with a light,
snappy, but firm comedy touch He
knows how and when to make an audi
ence laugh Powers is a valuable addi-
tlon to the Walker company
Marjorie Vonnegut of Indianapolis
makes her first appearance with the
Walker company this season in the role
of Catherine Smith, the dollar saving
wife Of the would-be-rapid James Smith,
Bible manufacturer, which is the role
played by Powers. Miss vonnegut is
well cast in this role, especially in the
first act in which her quiet and unaf-
fected way causes the character to ring
true. In the last act Miss Vonnegut
makes a beautiful picture when she
steps out in some fine, glad rags. In
dianapolis has every right to be proud of
Miss Nonnegut.
Blanche Yurka has the breezy role of
Lucille Early, who believes that the
only way to keep a husband good" is to
keep him broke. Mckay Norris plays the
role Of Lucille's husband. Elizabeth
Patterson is, as usual, a sure laugh get
ter. This time she is cast as a wise
combination cook and maid. Dorothy
Mcdonald, Margaret Dalrymple and Julia
Mcmahon are cast as the three women
who ind that James Smith Is easy
picking" Edwin Noel (why does he in
sist on the axle grease appearance of
his hair?) is cast as Tom Trainor.
The four big acting triumphs of this
impossible comedy fall to Miss Yurka,
Miss Burch, Powers and Miss Vonnegut.
