Have nothing against that because
the city recreational department has
done interesting work. What In
dianapolis needs is more music in its
city parks during the summer. Why
couldn't we be interested enough in
getting Mrs. Talbot to present at
least six concerts in the city parks
during the summer? Not all in one
park. but scattered over the city.
Would it not be splendid to hear
Max Rosen, violinist, in recital some
beautiful summers day near the
sunken gardens at Garfield park?
Here is a suggestion that the music
council would do well to study. We
need more music in our parks during
the summer. Why couldn't our many
musical colleges and organizations
give mplimentary concerts in the
parks? Let us think it over.
1t is pleasant to record that THE
Way of a Girl" a genuine novelty
in the movies, has been doing good
business all week at the Apollo. Here
is a comedy gem that is a real novel

way the public accepted it proves
once more that the public wants the

Gus and ironic finish TO the story of
a shop girl who became queen of a
mythical realm. 1t left the gentler
members Of the audience in tears,
for Francine Larrimore as the hero
inc completely wins her public de-
spite bad diction and general awk
wardness. There is an elusive charm
about her that is not defined in ordi
nary terms, yet even so she begins
divorce action against Con Conrad
concurrently with the opening OF her
play. A remark that publicity pays
is not in order.
William Faversham, in spite of ad-
vanclng years, still remains one of
the most attractive charmers of the
stage in the role of the queens lover.
And Minnie Dupree in an insignifi-
cant role demonstrates that the new
school of acting is not nearly so
efficient as the older one to which
she belongs.
