Deeds of the Young

One might reason from these cpl
sodes that youth has como to play
a peculiarly important part in the
politics, religion and crime OF this
generation.
The truth is that youth has played
an important part in those of every
generation.
BY clever ruse which frightened
his mature counseilors and advisers,
Richard III Smashed the Wat Tyler
rebellion when he was only IA.
\ Joan of Arc was commissioned by
the King of France to take COM
mand of his army when she was
less than 10.

the greatest speeches Of his career

JOE is AT PALACE
AND ALL is WELL

Ever since seeing the movie, 1T, j"
in which Clara Bow demonstrated
so well just what ut" was, we have
been waiting for a chance to point
to some one and say that he has "It. "
And when we covered the Palace
show for the first half, ut" was very
much present in the person of Joe
Termini.
Joe does not do the usual thing,
and that is the reason. To possess
1T" one must do the unusual and
keep on doing it. And to do the
unusual, one must be letter perfect
in the usual and keep away from the
things every one else does.
First, Joe Termini, from the easy
way he handles melody on the diff.
ferent instruments he plays, in our
opinion is an artist in the classic
sense of the word. Second, he ap.
preciates the handicaps present in
playing for the multitude of, tastes
present in a vaudeville audience,
and, third, he chooses the one real
way to win the hearts of any one
who listens to him, he gives them
comedy. Not the rough, boisterous
kind that wavers on point after
point, but comedy taken from the
thing all minds understand-music.
And he does it in such Nay that
not even the most ultra taste will
take offense.
So if you wish to see a real mu-
stefan, real comedian and a real
Snowman, see Joe Termini at the
Palace the. first half of this week.
Danny Murphy and company have
a comedy number in which Mr.. Muir
ply tries for laughs with a trick
speech effect and manners. In the
act are several girls who present
dances of different types.
Carr and Parr, two men, offer good
dancing and good comedy work.
Roth and Drake open with an aerial
act in which the man does difficult
things on trapeze and rope.
Galetti and Kol1in close with an
unusual act in which we see a mon
key who can play a melody on bells
and one who can dance.
The movie the first half Is Zane

is filled with beauty. This act ranks

I wish it would stay out Of aude-

Some real dancing ability is re-
vealed in "Mignon Revue" This act
runs to melody and dance. Doris

in the audience just looking on until
next week were Elizabeth Peterson
and George Gaul as well as others.
Mr.. Walker in curtain talk re-
ferred to the stars on the stage as
we'll as in the audience and stated
that he and his company were here
to please.
The ovations on entrance were re-
ceived by those who have been here
in other seasons. Judith Lowry
walked away with the biggest APP
plause on her entrance, although
Larry Fletcher came mighty near
scoring as great a reception. Miss
Wallace was beautifully received
when she took a number of curtains
at the close of the third act. Bendt
sen was greeted like a favorite, and
Eugene Powers by his masterful
work won for himself that distinc
ton which artistry should always re
ceive.
When one studies the cast of 1.-The
Road to Yesterday" one is i'm
pressed with Mr.. Walkers sincerity
when he states that his stock cast is
peopled with stars. And before the
season is over, some of his casts will
remind one of "Trelawny Of the
Wells"

opinion regarding the wisdom OF

ProSperity'S Power

May day passed quietly in the
United States. The people of this
country sought the PARKS. You can
attribute this to poise or patriotism,
but not without giving prosperity
some credit.
1t was very different in England,
where speakers addressed labor gath
erings from two thousand platforms.
There is just as much poise and
patriotism in England as there is in
this country, but there isn't as much
prosperity.
The trouble over there includes
more than the issues and doctrines
that have recently made their ap-
pearance. 1t is rooted in an indus.

THE CRADLE SNATCHERS"
is A REAL COMEDY HIT

When Charles Berkell told me that
he purchased the Indianapolis stock
rights TO THE Cradle Snatchers,"
one of the widest examples of rapid
fun which has ever adorned the
stage, l feared not only once but
twice.
Ny first fear was that this play
would not yield to stock treatment.
But 1 found out that 1 was wrong,
dead wrong. Then 1 feared that if
the proper rapid comedy treatment
was not given the sassy" smart
and at times very pointed care,
Cradle Snatchers' would become
the worlds most terrible example Of
what a play should not be. Again,
1 found out at English's that 1 was
wrong to have such fear.
There are two marvellous sur
prises this week at English's. First,
the way that Jean Oliver plays the
role of Susan Martin with such dash,
charm and wiseness which causes
her to be the talk of the town. and
second, the way that Mildred Hast
ings makes a funny ugly duckling
Gf ducklings ever approach middle
age) out of the role of Ethel Drake,
one of the cradle snatchers.
Miss Oliver has ne Per snapped into
role with so much ease, and has
never been so deliciously funny as
she is in this play This woman
actually startled me nearly out of
my seat Sunday night with her
brilliant comedy work. And Miss
Hastings nearly drove me to tears
of laughter by her wild work as a
poor mamma who went wild at her
own 'petting" party.
Bernice Marsolais has been given
the role of Kitty Ladd. another one
of the "snatchers" of the cradle boys
She was not quite at ease in the
first act, but In the other two acts
she gave a performance Of the abil-
ity which one expects of her these
days.
1t is a Job to cast three boys who
become playmates to the three
married women. Berkell brought
Manard Brooks here this week to be
Henry Winton. Milton Byron plays
Jose Vallejo, as I would expect the
ghost of Hamlet would play bur-
lesque in a modern revue. In other
words, Byron is miscast this week.
He overacts about all the time. He
is supposed to be taking Spanish.
Robert st. Clair is supposed to be a
big Swede by the name of Oscar
Nordholm. These three roles are
mighty hard ones to fill for stock.
They are type roles, pure, but not
simple
Others in the cast are Larry Sulli
van, J. f. NARROW, Herbert Dobbins
Idabelle Arnold, Tom Pawley, Cyrilla
Tuite, Dorothy Farley and Margaret
! Hamilton.
1t is the work of Miss Oliver and
Miss Hastings which puts over 1.-THE
Cradle Snatchers. These two WON
en- are so funny and so satisfying
this week that I want to find time
to see "The Cradle Snatchers" again
this week.
1.-THE Cradle Snatchers." a story OF
how three married women hire them
selves college boys to make love tc
EN-, is the funniest play which has
struck this town in many a year
From a production standpoint, this
show is right. Real sets. Probably
the smartest and best comedy buy OF
the Barkell season.

European Industry
Breaks State Lines

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
The trend Of European industry
toward international combinations, ae-
cording to Louis Domeratslky, q De-
partment Of Commerce specialist.
He says that German industrialists
are taking the lead and that the rsc-'
ent amaleamation of Continental
stsel-making interests may be regard
ed as the first step.
Some observers, he said, are pre-
dieting that the achievement Of the
various unions of producers, reaching
as they now do across international
lines, is a prelude to a general GUS
toms union Of the principal Euro
pean countries. Governments, as well
as financial and Industrial operators
are being called into consultations out
of which new understandings are
reached. The reason for these move
ments, it is stated, hes largely In the
failure Of European recovery from
she World War.
