Walter Weems Makes Another
Successful Visit to City

Walter Weems is paying another
visit to Indianapolis. He is the same
Walter as before. He sings the same
song about "goofer dust" plays the
same old horn and tells about the
party he went to in order to find out
why he wasn't invited. And he still
stops the show at the Lyric this week.
Another clever single man on the
bill is Carl Mccullough. He has been
seen in Indianapolis legitimate thea
tiers in revues. Mccullough sings and
tells stories. His funniest bit is his
imitation Of a breakfast food demon
strator in a department store. In
song he initiates Al Jolson and Harry
Lauder. 1 think more songs and less
comedy would make Mccullough more
enjoyable.
The six sheiks of Araby prove to be
a jazz band in a desert raiment. The
feature Of the act is an acrobatic
dancer who does some difficult steps

MATRIMONIAL MEASLES.
i'd you ever have EN-.

Did you ever have EN-.
Measles of this brand break out
at the most unexpected places-in the
kitchen, at the dinner table, in the
parlor and about every other place.
These measles have no particular
color. but possess nasty temper
which sauses high temperature. These
measles attack only the newlyweds
during the first year.
The newlyweds in Frank Craven's
THE First Year" suffer with a ter
rible dose of matrimonial measles and
a doctor declares the couple to be so
suffering.
We have waited long time to see
this comedy. It was a success long
before it was presented last night at
the Murat by the Stuart Walker Com
pany. Many have read the comedy
and have had many a gay chuckle,
but on the stage its comedy value is
increased.
Until I saw THE First Year" my
favorite MAIN Street" drama was
''Kempy." which the Nugents exhib-
tied to such poor patronage at the
Murat last season The married prob
lem is approached in true American
style in Craven's comedy. We are
concerned chiefly with the newlyweds.
In the first act we have Grace Liv-
ingston, Ma and Pa all sitting around
while Oracle entertains her two fellers
Dick Loring and Thomas Tucker.
Grace quarrels with Dick and finally
Thomas gets up enough nerve to pro-
pose to Grace, which he does in a
naturally awkward manner. This is
delicious comedy.
In the second act, the newlyweds
are situated in their little fiat in Jop-
lin, Mo. Symptoms Of matrimonial
measles are appearing. During the
first ten months, Thomas had not
been a financial success. He had a
great idea to make the coin-but. And
that is what makes the comedy such
a hit
It is in the second set during the
dinner" scene that we meet Hattie,
a colored maid who thinks that seed
ing" a melon means to ''see it This
comedy maid is one of the funniest
characters yet revealed in comedy
OF small town life.
In the third act, the newlyweds are
separated and the measles are being
treated by long distance. OF course
there is happy ending.
Corbet Morris plays the role OF
Thomas Tucker, the husband who dis
covers after a year Of married life
that a fellow should skip the first year
and get married the second. Morris
does his best work in the dinner scene
in second act Ruth Hammond plays
the role of the first year wife in
splendid fashion. Judith Lowry is cast
as the mother. William Evarts does
some Of the best work of his Indiana
polls career as RI. Livingston, the
father of Grace. Splendid work.
L'Estrangel Millman is east as the
doctor who treats matrimonial meas
les. Clark Hoover is Dick Loring.
Kay Strozz and John Drury are in
the cast.
The acting honors of the entire eve
ming go to Beulah Bondy as Hattie,
the colored maid. who admits that she
washes better than she waits on
tables. Here is really wonderful COM
edy work. To me 1t is the best COM
edy work of the season with the ex-

orange and black and white and
brown with bits of red here and
there and a double ruffle around his
neck. His tail feathers might well
