ITALY MAY NOT
APPROVE CABLE
ARRANGEMENT
Diplomats Think u. S.-Japan
Agreement Won't Be
Satisfactory.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-Doubt is ex-
pressed in some diplomatic circles as to
whether the Italian government would
give its consent to the arrangement be-
tween the United States and Japan re-
speeding the division of the former Ger
man cables in the Pacific ocean between
America, Japan and Holland without
some assurances concerning the alloca-
ton of the ex-German cables IN the At
lantic ocean.
Italy, 1t was stated, was not consulted
during the American Japanese conversa-
tions which resulted in an agreement to
allocate to America the zap Gaum cable,
to Japan the zap Shanghai cable, and to
Holland the Yap-Menado cable, the last
arrangement being on account OF the
Dutch equity, amounting to one third in
terest In the former German cables in the
Pacific, although Italy under the treaty
Of Versailles, was entitled to a one-fifth
interest in all the former German cables.
The communications conference held IN
Washington a year ago, failed because Of
the reported positions taken by the
French and British governments, who
were IN actual control Of the ex-German
cables In the Atlantic. A modus yiviendI
finally was agreed upon whereby those
$3.50" "OuAN Oe operated IN the joint
account OF the five powers, until they
should be allocated in accordance with
the terms Of the Versailles treaty.
1t is believed the Italian government
will give It's assent to the American
japanese arrangement regarding the Pa
cihc cables, but will seek some assurance
that the situation, as regards the Atlantic
cables, will not remain indefinitely az
1t now Is. According to italian opinion
the present plan disregards the treaty
or versailles and bears evidence of a
serene unconcern on the part Of the
other powers for Italy's interests.-Copy-

william Rock, with the assistance OF
Nancy Wexford and HeIyn Eby. appeared
in smart dances and songs and even

In other words the Arst bill Of the new
year at Keith's is one OF those modern
Jazz song tests. William Rock. in b,4

women wear very few clothing, but the
clever and artistic handling of the lights
prevents a vulgar exhibition. True 1t
is that the clothing Of the dancers in the
"Bacchanale" could be placed in a dolls
trunk and then there would be room for
an overcOat. I have been asked many
times-is this dance indecent2
To that will say the basic theme
Of this story of the dance is semi wild,
but the manner Of presenting 1t remains
In the bounds OF art and not physical
vulgarfty, This dance may have been
the widest of wild things in New York,
but I doubt it. 1t Is a pretty stage pic
ture and sensible men and women can
witness 1t without asking the censors Of
public morals to step in. We have had
this same thing under the guise of Rus
sian art
As far as I am concerned, the women
could wear feshing where bare skin now
appears and not harm the picture. Tights
and art" may not go hand in hand.
Michel Fokine arranged the ballet and
the "Bacchanale" and he has staged many
pretty pictures by the masterful hand
ling of color. Ny impression is that the
ballet is not near al wild some people
would like to have the public believe.

VIVIANI WAS

French Leader Tells Why He

PARIS. Jan. 3.-One Of the best in
formed French weekly papers, Auxe-
coutes makes the following remarks con-
corning Rene Vivianrs return from Amer
lea.
M. viviani has been asked in the cor
ridors of the Chamber Of Deputies, Why
have you come back? We are glad to see
you but the washington conference Is not
vet finished?
'.Viviani replied; There was nothing
more of Importance for me to do and
admit that I returned because l needed
money. Our military experts had 800
francs per day for expenses. I had no
personal indemnity, in fact nothing ex-
cept my parliamentary compensation
and the dollar IS dear. The republic only
paid for my trip and I asked no more."-

its own merits7
It can do it and the public will be
much better satisfied. Personally I en-
toyed the splend.dly acted Chinese
scenes and the Garden of the Sultan's
palace the best in the show
Mecca is q series OF beautiful Oriental
pictures, all put together for the purpose
Of telling the love story OF a little singer
for a Sultan. Many people are used in
unfolding the story. The music is pleas
ing, both the vocal and the dance scores
The cast IS too numerous to go into
detail Tho work Of Miss Hanson and
the others I personally have mentioned
are excellent. The cast on the whole
balances up much better than I dared
hope for.
To those who can appreciate artistic
merit I need not hesitate IN recon-
mendInE Mecca" as the prettiest and
the best presented of this kind Of en-
tertaiument. II Is heads and shoulders

IRISH PLAYERS REVEAL THE MOST LOVABLE AUNT
AeccG Opens Feminine Hat4

play full Of laughter and tears, that
rare intermingling of pathos and humor
for which all drametists strive and
which few attain-that is 1.-THE White
Headed Boy"
After seeing the opening performance
of THE White Headed Boy" at Engltsh's
last night It is easy to understand why
the Irish Players who give the perform
ance have taken by storm the cities in
which they have appeared. The company
is said TO be the original one from the
Abbey Theater, Dublin.
THE White Headed Boy" is not the
kind of a play that would appeal to the
seeker after the sensational. 1t is a
well rounded drama about everyday peo-
pie and it is acted as the kind of every
day people represented would act. That
is why it is great.
The story of the play concerns large
family in a small Irish town. The
youngest son is the pet of the family.
He has been brought UP to expect every
thing at the expense Of the remainder
of the family. He is sent to Dublin to
study medicine AS might be expected
he turns out to be a ne er-dO-well. Fin
ally the family, with the exception of
the mother, rebels. The older brother,
the head of the family, decides to cut of
his allowance and insists that he go to
Canada. The play evolves around this
situation, but, largely through the actiy-
tiles of an aunt. it turns out happily.
The part of the young son is played
by Arthur Shields He does it Well The
character is made to appear more pathetic
than otherwise Here is a young man
who has been told since babyhOod that
he is different than others, that he is
brighter of higher order Of intelligence
Everything is lavished on him and he is
made to believe this is true. AS a matter
Of fact be is Just average, and he finally
comes to realize this as a fact. He is the
cause Of everybody's trouble but never
theless ne is likeable
The first place in the performance must
be given Marie O'Nein who plays the
part Of Aunt Ellen. No funnier or more
loyable person ever was seen on the stage
Her facial expression and her manner
isms are a delight to the audience. She
carries upon herself the burden of the
play ard she does it as no one else could
She IS most certainly an actress Of the
first order.
In this play as in few that have ap-
peared in indianapolis, the entire east Is
Of the highest order. Pains have been
taken to lit every one TO his part. So
excellent and finished is the acting of
every member that they all deserve men

excellent acting and some not so excel
lent, a pretty Oriental love story and
enough pretty scenes-larEe, massive
and really works of art which reflect
high stage development--to make "Mec
ca" capable Of standing upon its own
feet to meet all competition.
Why can't we hear in advance the dra-
matte worth Of Gladys Hanson or the
perfect fooling Of Thomas Leary as Wei
San Wei and Ida Mule as Wei Wa Shi
(the two Chinese characters IN the story
and the effective work Of Lionel Bra
ham as AlI-Shar, the wrestler, instead
Of the undressed ballet?
As far as I am concerned the ballet
at the crosse Of the second act could be
eliminated without harming the natural
unfolding Of the story To eliminate it,,
however, would rob the show Of one
Of the most colorful pageants I eveI
have seen on the stage

UNDERWORLD MELODRAMA
HOLDS TIE BOARDS AT PARK.

The first show Of 1922 at the Park
takes one back to the good old days
when melodrama was presented regularity
Mt this house. The greater part Of the
second act Of 1.-THE Passing Review" is
taken up by a sketch called THE Frame
Up" by Mark Under.
This little sketch is one OF those sure
fire melodramatic affairs which grabs
cnes interest from the beginning and
holds Il during the entire reciatl. The
sketch is better acted than usually done
IN musical extravaganza shows. Mark
Under. the author Of the sketch. ada
Lum. Ray King, Lew Rice. George Gage
and Marion De Lsrkey play the various
roles in this sketch.
Tho comedy in the show proper IS
handled by Jim Bennett. Rose Hemeley
finds the going rather easy with her
songs and dances. Barhetta Hall is a
good looking little trick. Lew Rice is a
dancer.
THE Passing Review" contains plenty
Of snappy songs and comedy. The scenery
IS good and tho costumes displayed by
the chorus and principals aid In putting
this show over
THE Passing Review" remains on view
all week at the Park.

THEY HAVE A PAINTIN
TINE OF 1T AT LYRIC.

The paint Is being spIashed at the Lyric
this week.
This happens in 1.-THE Corner Store"
rubo comedy sketch which heads the new
bill at the Lyric. This act has the
usual character one expects to find in
country general store. Most of the com
edy is furnished ny the characters splash
ing paint over each other while engaged
in painting the fixtures IN the store. The
small town boys paint the fixtures IN
order to get a stand in" with the
widow who owns the place. It's good
act Of its kind.
Weir and Wayne open their act with
some comedy concerning golf. They sing
several songs and close the act by clown
ing" with the orchestra. Irene Myers
sings n number Of character songs
which are cleveriy handled, making the
act Of n pleasing nature.
Maio and Rizzo are billed az accordion
lists. but one Of them played a violin
when the show was reviewed. This is
n clever instrumental act. Their pro
gram is we'll chosen.
Johnny Singer and the Dancing Dolls
open the bill with q fast dancing act.
Singer does some good Russian dancing
The act called Adrian" IS IN reality
trio with a stage hand doing a bit"
For the most part It IS nut act.
One member Of the act has a good voice
and sings an operate number. The
stage hand came IN for a good share Of
the applause by singing a parody.
Mowatt and Mullen, n man and
woman. who sing, dance and have some
comedy lines. The Bird Cabaret is an
elaborately staged Offering with many
well trained birds as the chief perform
ers. Here is an act Of merit.

a really brilliant travesty on the classical
dance. This is supreme fooling.
The Rock act is very modern and very
much up to the minute. The whole affair
rather reminds one of a very smart roof
garden entertainment. 1t remained for
Miss PATRICIA to tie the show up in
knot. Her songs are the last word
in the gospel of jazz. They seem to want
their blues mighty blue these days and
PATRICIA dishes 1t out in full measure.
Her moonshine jazz song caused an
earthquake of applause. If you like your
jazz songs rough, then PATRICIA will
take you to paradise of LAKELAND. She
has few equals when it comes to deliver
ing this sort Of stuff. She also plays
her violin.
Kenney and Hollis in "Tbe Two Doc
tors" start 'em laughing by springing
a comedy curtain on which is printed
funny signs and announcements. Their
comedy is of the nut variety. Jack La
Vier takes honors with PATRICIA in the
applause line. His awkward trapeze
stunts and his rapid remarks upset the
house yesterday. He is a solid popular
hit
Jay Dillon and Betty Parker offer a
smart little song and dance revue Chats
what l call the act.) 1t is one Of we'll
hammered but informal little offerings
which fits we'll into this rapid bill of
jazz and ultra modern vaudeville.
Cats Brothers are soft shoe dancers.
They start the act in darkness and end
in a blaze of light. The Harringtons
open the show in a revolving ladder act.
Sansone and Della close the show in
an act in which the man Of the team
holapaoc he orfr Of ha m hts chin
while she pedals a bicycle. OF course,
the bicycle is not on the mans chin
the bicycle is attached to a pole. Here
is a good closing act and will hold any
audience.
This weeks bill at Keith's possesses
all the elements which go to make up a
profitable week People will talk about
PATRICIA and her songs and they will
marvel how Miss Eby of the Rock act
obtained her strange haircut"
At Keith's all week.-W. d. II.
