GOLF TOURNEY
INDOORSFO
CHICAGO
Entry List Will Be Limited to
Hundred for March
Play.

The first national indoor golf tour
nament will be held in Chicago in
March. The entry list will be limi-
ted to 100, and the first player to
send in his name was Chick Evans.
One of the Chicago armories will be
used for the tournament. 1t is
planned to have two nets which will
permit drives of eighty feet and
proportionate height.
Putting greens of real turf will
be provided, and if the experiment
is successful there will be indoor
tournaments in all the big golf CEN
tiers in the North next winter.
Prizes worth $4,000 will be pro
yided, and the tournament will con
tinue for three days. The date will
be fixed in March, SO that it will
not interfere with any Of the late
outdoor dates on the Southern
courses.
Here is a great chance for the
army of golfers who have been com
planning that the outdoor courses
are too long.

into the cast OF 1.-THE Green
Scarab" deliberately, not only be.
cause it has a good part for him,
but also because it gives him a
rest. From what? From the
chorus.
Victor Morley has never "kid.
ded" himself about the relative
importance OF. things in musical
shows. No. matter whose name
is UP in the electric lights: no
matter whose picture appears in
the papers, he knows who's
who" Like VIII Rogers in the
Follies. he admits freely that it's
the girls they come to see, the
ladies fair-and otherwise-in the
chorus. And now he's going back
to regular plays-he made an ex-
cellent reputation as. an actor, Of
course. before he went into mu.
steal shows-for he wants to be
in the theater when people come
to see play and acting.
Last week Mr.. Morley took part
in the fortieth anniversary cele-
bration Of the Casino Theater in
New York, and the role that they
asked him to take was from a
musical show. Which was an.
other reminder that it was about
time he became known as an
actor again. OF course Mr.. Nor.
ley does not date back to the
opening Of the Casino-not being
an antique by any means-but it
happens that he was in a musical
show, THE Earl and the Girl"
which reopened that theater some
years ago, after it had been rebuilt
because Of a fire. And the song
which he had to sing the other
night with Georgia Caine was
the hit Of that show. What song
was It? How'd You Like to
Spoon With Me?" There's an.
other reason he's going back into
plays.

SAFETY REQUIRES
S Err VICES OF
TWO "ABIES"
Duffy and Velsey Alternate in
Comic Role - Engagement
Enters Ninth Week This
J. Evening. !.

TT is fortunate that Henry
Duffy, the versatile and au.
burn-haired impresario and
actor, has q substitute Able so
competent as Graham Wesley.
Otherwise since '.Abie's Irish
Rose" Ii each week breaking q
new record in local theaterdom,
and Mr.. Duffy has certain man.
ageria1 cares as well as his art
to consider tina curtain might
have to go up some night on q
first act where no Able would
appear at all, at all.
Owing to the fact that an Elsie
Janis appearance had to be ar
ranged at recent benefit, that
q new play had TO be obtained
and prepared for In case Able
stops running, and that various
other emergencies arose from time
to time, It was necessary for
Duffy to step out OF the part q
few weeks ago for q considerable
time. and Wesley was picked out
an Able al interim. Wesley batted
about 1000 as pinch hitter, and
as q consequence has been able
TO get into the game rather ire
QuentIy.
AZ times It has almost appeared
as though Arthur Leslie Smith,
co-dfrector with Duffy of< the for
tunes Of the President Players,
might have to 30 On the stage
just before the first act began,
like baseball game announcer,
ana shout out TO the house: Able
for today's show. Velsey Or
Duffy, az the case might be.
But both actors have acquitted
themselves splendidiy in the role,
and have alike. shared the APP
plause OF crowded houses.
However, Is = matter Of record,
DR.. Duffy VIM be back on the
job this current week, and will
probably play Able until further
notice. It Ii fortunate. perhaps.
that they seldom appear in the
cast together, for IL they did
one could hardly blame Miss Will

and picked 1.out the wrong Able
occasionally.
