THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Here is q difficult role because too
much of the Pollyana stuff would
make the characterization q ter
rible mess.
But Miss Arnold knows her bust
ness and she makes Peg a character
that could be just ,one of us. She
attempts to keep the note Of sin
cerity in the character of Peg and
she does a good job Of it.
Larry Sullivan comes into his
own this week as Alaric the silly
old chap, you know. Here is a fine
comedy performance. Bernice Mar
solais is an effective and naughty
Ethel Chichester. Adelaide Melnotte
failed to strike the right tempo in
her characterization of Mrs. Chi
chester. There is a false note here
because Miss Melnotte does not give
the character the widely grand
manners that Mrs. Chichester is
supposed to posses. Milton Byron
get along very weak with Jerry.
There are numerous others in the
cast.
And Knight remark that the two
dogs are well behaved. There was
bad handling of the lights on the
opening night.

Take Your Shock AbSorberS When You See Fog;
'Why-in-so-Late? Asks Coyinne of j. Francis

When you go shopping for thrills
be sure and take your shock absorb
ers with you and goodly supply OF
smelling salts.
This prescription should be closely
followed when you witness Fog"
Here is a mystery meledrama by
John Willard, who wrote THE Cat
and the Canary" and Fog is not
near the play from a playwritlng
standpoint that the "Cat" was.
Fog" gets its real novelty from
the two settings used. The first is
that of a private wharf on the south
shore of Long Island at night. Here
is a. realistic bit of stage craft.
The second and third acts show
the cabin of mystery ship, the
Nightbird," and the rolling effect OF
the ocean has been cleverly pre-
sented.
In case of all mystery plays I re-
fuse to either tell the story, and
fatty refuse to even hint at the end
ing. Fog" really has no reason to
it, and that is just what the author
intended.
He started on to frighten every
body out of their wits, and he sue
ceeds in that. The dialogue is not
clever and it often has nothing to
do with the plot, but it does keep
one badly confused. Another trick
of playwriting. About any sort OF
an acting cast could put over the
screaming lines, yells and the like.
What ever acting that is required
in addition to the scenery and eff
fects, it is contributed by James R.
Carey, Jay Adair Young, Dorothy
Lyons, Gage Clarke, George Syden-
ham, Fred Garland, Leslie King,
Prince Singh and Robert Toms.
Fog" is not great show. 1t was
constructed for thrills and novelty.
1t is to confuse and excite.

And they do. Russell and Arm

IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
TRY DOSE Of SALTS
Drink Quart of Water if
Your Back Hurts or
Bladder Troubles

No man or woman can make a
mistake by flushing the kidneys oc-
caSionally, says well-known au-
thority. Too much rich food Gre
ates acids which clog the kidney
pores so that they sluggishly filter
or strain only part of the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then
you get sick. Rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
bladder disorders often come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts.
begin to drink soft water in guam
titles; also get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any reliable phar-
macy and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may
then act fine.
This famous salts Is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to &C.
tivity, also to help neutralize the
acids in the system so they no
longer cause irritation, thus often
relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful eff
fervescent lithia-water drink, which
everyone can take now and then to
help keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby often preventing
serious kidney complications.-Ad-

YOU MUST COME OVER
AND MEET J. FRANCIS

They are back in town. Meaning
j. Francis Dooley and Corinne
Sales.
And you must come right over and
hear Miss Sales asks ]. Francis the
question: why in-so-late."
The joke being that man was
electrician and when he came
home late one night she asked -
why in-so-late?"
My way of telling you that joke
may be very crude, but the way that
Dooley and Sales develop this
nonsense it becomes a panic.
These two go on their merry way
successfully doing the most silly
things. They take nothing for ma
terial, dress it up with tons of
nonsense, and the result it just g
plain panic.
It is probably this method Of de-
livery which gives these people
license to do about any foolish thing
they think of. Some times one gets
the impression that they are skat-
ing on thin ice, but you can rely
upon Dooley to turn on the comedy
sunshine.
I think they are funny and I know
that they made a wreck out of~me
at Keith's yesterday afternoon. 1t is
remarkable with what ease and
with what good showmanship they
develop a wild idea and make a
comedy gem out of it. Their new
act this season Is quite wild and
these two are big success again.
Jane Green takes the blues songs
of the day and with splendid sense
of refined showmanship makes
them nearly knockout songs. Miss
Green has mild, but effective way
of doing the Sophie Tucker blues
stuff, but these two people are
different in their method Of doing
it. Frank Jefferson Is at the
piano.
Want to call your attention to the
dance offering of Roy Sheldon, Bob
Heft and Leah Lewis. This act has
much charm and class. The pianist
is also good dancer and he has
a corking piano number when he
sings the blues Of how a poor piano
player feels in dance act. The work
of Miss Lewis has real charm. Her
Merry Widow Waltz is done with
true grace and charm.
Frakson is magician who is
different. At times he wears gloves
and this Is seldom done. His
cigaret stunt is a wonder to me
He is mighty clever with coins.
La Belle Pola is a dancing monkey
The black bottom and Charleston
dance by this monkey is wonder
All the monkeys in this act have
been we'll trained.

Age has not done any damage to
J. Hartley Manners f"Peg O. My

This cute little comedy Of much
success was brought to life again to
give Idabelle Arnold chance to
show what she can do with Peg.
Of course Peg is the sort of thing
that Miss Arnold knows how to do
it well. She knows how to make Peg
the adorable Irish lass that she is
and when it comes time to turn on
the tears Miss Arnold knows that
trick also.
Miss Arnold Is a wonder when it
comes to making herself a juvenile.

ability and leads the chorus out on
to the runway several times.
Featured along with Fritzie is
Harry Clexx. Comedians as rule
nave terrible looking clothes, but
Clexx goes them one better. Where
he got his ideas for them don't
know, but his ragged vestments
more than put him over. His COM
edy is like that of many comedians.
He wise-cracks and slap-sticks his
way through the show. He is sup
ported by Art Mayf1eld, who makes
a good foil as the tramp comedian.
The ingenue of the company, Syl-
via Pearl, who does nothing spectac-
ular, gets across with her stunts in
wistful sort of way. Part OF the
time you are unaware that she is on
the stage She always appears with
the chorus.
One of the best scenes was laid in
Spain with the chorus dancing
through a snappy little Spanish
dance that had an appropriate &C
compartment. The chorus was well
trained and although a bit beefy
had a very fair appearance.
Included In the company were
Loretta Love, Jack Valid and Fred
die Faire. The last two served in
light comedy capacity.

Such Flavor
as this comes
only in real
Quaker Oats

THE price you pay for substitutes
l. is the same as for the genuine
Quaker Oats. The difference is in
the flavor. And favor, above all
things, is important in oats.
That rich and toasty Quaker favor
is the result of some so years milling
experience. Once you taste 1t, you are
spoiled for ordinary cats.
That is why millions demand the
Quaker brand-why tou should ac-
oept no other.
Quaker milling, too, retains much of
the bulk" Of oats. And that makes
laxatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and
bulk" are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats ain excellently bal
