WALKER PRESENTS
ENTER MADAME
Indianapolis to See Varesi
Comedy for First Time,

One of the recent New York COM
edy successes will be the Stuart
Walker Company presentation for the
week beginning Monday night at the
Murst Theater. Enter Madame" a
play by Gilda Varesi and Dolly Byrne,
and In which Miss Varesi was starred
some seasons ago, will be presented
for the first time in Indianapolis by
the Walker company.
The theme Of the play is decidedly
different from anything that has been
done by the Walker company thus
far this season. Though a familiar
enough one, the characters are peo-
pie who are seldom pictured on the
screen or stage. The play has to do
with grand opera prima donna and
her struggle to retain the love Of her
husband, but there is many a shrewd
touch in the telling and many bril-
liant lines and amusing situations.
Mime. Lisa Della Robbia, the lady
about to lose her husband has brought
him romance but no comfort. Her
long tours of the country and her
feeling OF careless affection for him
when she IS at home causes him to
become enamoured OF a blonde liv-
ing in the same apartment house.
Upon the return OF the singer a strug-
gle ensues for the love OF the hus-
band. who contemplates divorce and
marriage to the blonde. How the
triangle is finally worked out and
peace and happiness restored to all
concerned forms one OF the most I'M
usual comedy narratives unfolded on
any stage in many seasons.
Enter Madame" will bring back to
the Murat Spring Byington and
Coates Gwynne in the leading roles
OF the play. The cast will include
Kay Strozzi, Beulah Bondy. Corbet
Morris. L'Estrange Mipman, William
Evarts. Teresa Dale, Lucille Nikolas
and others.
