The Colonial, starting Sunday
night, will be the all-winter home
of the Berkell players. The opening
bill at the new location will be
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and ]
am told on reliable authority that
Berkell is paying the highest royalty
ever paid for a stock presentation in
this city.
In the season just closing, Ber-
kell has produced a total Of twenty
five Mays. He has had two leading
woraen this season--Miss Jean Oil
yer and Miss Alney Alba. Miss Al
ba will be leading woman at the
Colonial. Milton Byron is leading
man and will continue in that ca
pacity at the new location.
The following plays have been
presented by the Berkell company
at English's this season.:

Snatchers," white Cargo" "Laff

The real novelty of the season
was the unnamed mystery play
written by Robert st. Clair, a mem
Der of the company. This play vas
produced for the first time on any
stage at English's. I understand
that st. Clair is writing another
play.
Berkell enters his first winter
season here with a good five season
record behind him. He has pur-
chased the producing rights for
many interesting plays for the
winter.
I personally hope that winter
stock will be big success in this
city and think it will. Indian
apolis is big enough to have a year
round stock organization, and
Berkell has built his organization to
that point of strength where he
can remain here for year at a
time.
