Lillian BurEhart Drives Home
Lesson of Dope" Traffic

Since the death Of Wallace Reid,
the American public has given much
attention to the evils of the drug
habit.
In some cities crusades have been
started against this evil. The stage
as we'll as the movie screen is be-
ing used to drive home the lesson
from this traffic
Mrs. Wallace Reid has found it
both profitable and interesting to use
the scree nand the stage In her per-
sonal campaign against dope" This
week at the Lyric Lillian Burkhart
and company is appearing in a melo-
dramatic playlet Called THE Straight
Dope"
1t concerns a mother who discovers
that her son, just a schoolboy, is a
dope adct. She enters a den of dope
peddlers by accident and when she
gets through all the dope peddlers are
in the hands Of the police.
The advantage of this sketch is
that only one dope fiend Is presented
and he is not so terrible The author
has not shocked her audience but
amused patrons, at the same time
driving home lesson.
At the close of the setch. Miss
Burkhart gives a little talk in which
she asks all people to Join the cru
SADIE against the selling of dope.
From an applause standpoint, Glib
ney and Rogers are the real winners
of the bill. A man walks on the stage

she has too much personality Of her

Morris and Flynn are two young
men who also sing popular songs and
who also please. They close their
act with a medley arrangement of
popular songs, past and present. It

none Of which they do very well.
The feature picture, 1.-THE Second
Fiddle" is a very good movie with
Glenn Hunter, who is starring on the
legitimate stage as Merton of the
Movies. So far as I know this is
Hunters introduction to Indianapolis
movie fans, and think they will Ike
him. He is very good looking and
his screen acting will reflect no dis
credit on the reputation he has made
for himself on the stage.
The picture contains some realistic
and thrilling scenes of a fight between
Hunter and an escaped bad man."

CAN COURT Be
JUDGE AND Jury?
IS MOOT ISSUE
California Supreme Tribunal
viii Decide Question
Wednesday,
BY RODNEY L. BRINK,
Editor Sacramento Star.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 24.-Very
soon now the California Supreme
Court will decide whether a judge can
be judge and jury too. That is ex,
actly the issue presented by Superior
Court temporary order restraining ev-
cry individual in this State from mem
bership in the Industrial Workers Of
the World. Violation of the order will
constitute contempt Of court.
Hearing on an order to the I. w.
W. to show cause why the order
should be made permanent is set for
July Is, Judge Charles o. Busick, who
granted the temporary order, undoubt-
eddy will grant the permanent injunc-
ton Then the Supreme Court gets
the question.
The general defense committee. the
organization that fights the legal bat
ties of the L W. W, plans fight on
the issue. Representatives declare that
the proposed injunction violates the
right of individuals to freedom Of
speech and beliefs even more than
does the California criminal syndical-
ism statute, out of which law the pro-
posed injunction grew.
Impartial views of the case as it
relates to free speech are these: If
the criminal syndicalism law. which
has been on the California statute
books for almost four years, Goes not
violate the rights Of free speech, the
proposed injunction would not violate
them; if the four-year-old and unre-
pealed law does violate those rights,
so does the proposed injunction.

DREAM PLAY!
That tells you about Peter Tibet
son.
Dreams often are beautiful dreams
if you know how TO dream true. Out
of all great love dreams there is an
equally great sa6ness.
Dreams are made from mental cob
webs and colored by the sunshine and
the clouds of experience. 1t is diff
ficult job to catch a dream and place
it either upon canvas or upon the
stage.
Stuart Walker has caught the
dream spirit of Peter Ibbetson." the

beautiful gift to Indianapolis. 1 love
to dream of heights l will never reach

the heights, only to discover how far
away 1 am from them in real life
Thousands of us dreamers are just
like that l am sure that there were
several hundred great dreamers in the
audience at the Murat last night, be-
cause we dreamed Walkers Ibbetson

1t will be only a few weeks until
I have covered shows in indianapolis

Walker has caught a sort of a spirit

Peter Ibbetson" is Walkers finest
achievement in Indianapolis. 1t ranks

There is so much beauty in this
dream production-the careful light
ing, the system of handling The many

Walker seems to have ohtdone him

have reached the heights, and my
only hope is that beginning tonight
Peter Ibbetson" will not play to a
vacant seat for the remainder Of the
week. Walker has done his best. Now
it is up to Indianapolis to 10 her best.
Morris Returns to Murat
to Do Really Noble Work
Peter Ibbetson" brings Mckay
Morris back to Indianapolis for the
first time this season. Morris also
knows how to dream real. It is no
easy task to create a dream character
on the stage, and yet Morris has
given the stage a piece OF acting
which mounts to the same dizzy
heights Of Walkers production. His
work is careful. real and beautiful
this time. He is not careless, but
the magnificent artist he is and can
be when he wants to be a great artist
with a soul.
If I had the space and time,
would like TO pick out the high
lights of his performance. The fact
is there are wonderful high lights in
every one of his scenes. In the first
dream. his voice becomes a sweet
sad symphony. In the murder scene
he is the cruel sad brute, made so

As to acreage estimates at this

planted was placed at 26,500.000 and
then revised to read 31,67S,000. Last

BABSON GIVES VIEWS
ON STOCK MARKET
Advises Any Investor in Weak
Condition to Sell on All
Rallies.

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, July
4.-Roger Babson in his latest
market letter says:
Stocks, commodities and labor
have been boosted too high and the
inevitable reaction Is taking place.
This means wise business men will
now adopt an entirely different pol
icy in their buying, manufacturing,
selling and investing from that
which they have followed since Aug
ust of last year. Methods and
policies justified two months ago are
no longer justified today. Plans of
action profitable two months ago will
probably not be profitable today,
I'VE still feel clients are wise in
liquidating their stock holdings as
fast as the opportunity offers. OF
course. it is unwise to sell on pan
icky days, but when the market is
steady and even a little strong one
should liquidate securities. The diff
f1culty is on those days the news is
always bullish and 1t is very hard
to sell. Success, however. comes
from doing the hard things rather
than the easy things"
