Graveure Is
an Artist

A generous heart. a splendid voice.
and probably the most charming per-
sonality to appear upon the Indian
apolis concert stage was the three
fold Offering of Louis Graveure, BARI
tone with the teachers chorus last
night at Caleb Mills Hall.
Last year there were hundreds
who were keenly disappointed when
Graveure failed to appear for the am
nual teachers chorus concert. Last
night he seemed to feel that some-
thing was desired of him to make UP
for the last concert, and he did, he
offered song after song as encores
to an audience that would not be
satisfied.
What more could be desired than
the rare pleasure of listening to such
a man with such voice who, in
generous regard for his audience,
sings the "Toreador's Song" from
Carmen" as an encore? In the fast
tempo in which he sings this stirring
song he quickened the pulse and
aroused the Imagination of all who
heard him. And then in a softer
mood he offers three numbers Songs
My Mother Taught Me-" by Dvorak;
Tell Me Why the Rose Is SO Pale"
by Tschaikowsky, and THE Pretty
- ~. old Tgn01igla nanlaHN
All these were encores, numbers that
would ordinarily be heard as parts
of n fairly heavy program.
OF the three song groups In the
regular program by Mr.. Graveure
the last group carried to us the great
est appeal. It was a French group
consisting of La Cloche," by Saint
Saens; I'll Neige," by Bemberg;
"Elegie," by Massenet, and Vision
Fugitive" from "Heriodade," by
Massenet.
The teachers chorus under the d.
rection OF MIR. Hesser, gets better
year by year. We have always en-
joyed their concerts, but each year 1t
seems as IL they have added some
thing TO the personality Of their Of
ferings. Last night was no excep-
ton and in their longest offering,
Pan on a Summer Day." by Paul
Bliss, the chorus gave us a beautiful
piece of choral work.
This was the fifth annual concert
of the Indianapolis Teachers Chorus,
presented at Caleb Mills Hall, Friday
evening, March is. (By John T.
Hawkins)

plicates matters, not that it makes
very much difference, but somehow
things are arranged to the satisfac-

pass.
Strange Stuff
sional presentation of a play by some
ambitious young futuristic author
has been puzzle to the average
playgoer and reviewer. The leaders
of this group of radicals has been

it isn't quite clear to him.
He carries away memory of some
biting satire bobbing up occasionally
from juxtaposition of farce, bur-

and lyceum entertainment. There is
neither head nor tail to it as we see

this very mystiflcation and the occa-

forth. The strange settings, the ex

FRANK CRAVEN HAS
A FAILURE IN HIS
NEW STAGE PLAY
Futuristic Group Now Has
Its Own Theater in
New York.
BY Dixie Hines

NEW YORK, March 19.-Frank
Craven, who rates as one of the
best actors we have and one of the
most popular. has fallen from grace.
He has written play called Money
From Home" and in spite of his
own acting. and that of a cast of
fine players, there is little in the
play to interest us.
Mr.. Craven has written the usual
number of smart speeches, and they
are cleverly delivered by himself,
Leo Donnelly~ and Camilla Dalberg,
but the play draSs along and halts
from time to time because it appears
to have no generative power.
The story is about a girl from a
Pennsylvania farm who inherits
some smoney and decides to visit
New York and cut a wide swath.
Somehow she does not seem to
have done so when we next see her
in fashionable hotel. She has met
only one person in New York, and it
is submitted that no girl can spend
seven thousand dollars and get its
value when doing it as solo. The
man she meets poses as a doctor,
but in reality he is a crook, and with
his pal is laying plans to gyp the
lady of what she has left, instead
of which he falls in love with her,
reforms and sends us home in a
most religious mood.
Another New One
There is another new play in town.
1t is by Knud Wiberg and Marcel
Strauss, and George Macfarlane
makes brave attempt as the pro-
Queer. 1t is called I'VE All Do"
and so far as this scribe is con-
cerned, he wishes to go definitely
on record as asserting that he don't.
Others may speak for themselves,
but thus far we have found no one
who did except the cast in this play,
and they do it so badly that it should
not count. 1t is a tedious play, and
exhibits examples of the worst act
ing on Broadway.
This is not the fault of Mr.. Mac
farlane, but it is the fault Of three
or four members of the cast who
shall be nameless. H. Reeves Smith,
Herbert Clark and Kathryn Givney
are creditable in impossible roles,
but this finishes the list Of favorable
mentions.
The story is about a woman who,
after twenty years of married life,
decides that she can no longer con-
done the infidelities of her husband,
and at a propitious moment an old
sweetheart comes into her life. In
the meanwhile her own daughter
falls in love with the son of the mis-
tress of her father, and this COM
