things of the theater."
In this department, 1 have al
ready gone into detail off "The Cra-
die Song" and the aim5 Of the Civic
Theatre of New York. am sure
that you will say that this play is
one of the sweetest and most aeS;cl-
tiful experiences now open to the
public.
Mary Shaw, famous woman who
heads the cast, will be here and she
will find time to accept several
luncheon and tea engagements
while here. On Thursday afternoon
she will be the guest Of the Little
Theatre of this city at the Play
house at a tea.
If we want the real things of the
stage brought to indianapolis, then
we have to support them because
other cities will. The test is before
us.
am making this plea as we'll as
statement of fact. I know the
sterling character of 1.-The Cradle
Song" and I am more than safe
when I recommend it as one of the
fine achievements Of the modern
stage.

The influence of the organ
ization is toward widening pub
lie appreciation of the finer
things in the drama, and its
benefits are in presenting the best of
plays, worthily mounted and acted.
at as low price of admission as
may reasonably be charged.
New York responded to the limo
walton in Wholehearted fashion, and
should there be a similar response
from the play-going public in other
cities, Miss LIE Gallienne will send
out a company each year in the
play that has been the most sue
cessful at the Civic Repertory The
alter, New York, during the preced-
ing season.
"The Cradle Song" is a delicate
and charming comedy drama deal
ing with life in a Spanish cloister,
in the present period. 1t is the
joint work of Gregorio and Mario
Martinez Sierra, both of whom are
notable figures in the artistic life
of Madrid.
The COMEDY has been performed
thousands of times in Spain and
has been translated into the Ger
man, Italian and French, in which
languages it has been successfully
played in the chief theaters of Eu-
rope.
The plot of the comedy is simple
in the extreme, yet, through deft
and mastery craftsmanship, the
authors have made it the founda-
ton of drama so emotionally in
tense that it's episodes have all the
vitality and force Of melodrama.

1 want the best stage presenta-
lions to come to Indianapolis and
1.-The Cradle Song" is such an at
traction. 1t was the outstanding &C
complishment of the Eva LIE Gal
lienne Civic Reper5ory Theater last
season in New York.
The cast is headed by Mary Shaw
and I saw this same cast and pro-
duction a few weeks ago at the
Grand in Cincinnati. In this de-
partment I told you about this great
achievement and I deplored the fact
that indianapolis was not going to
get this play.
Since then, 1.-THE Cradle Song" has
been booked into English's and we
now have a definite chance to prove
whether we will support the better
things of the stage.
Here is the plain truth-The sup
port given The Cradle Song" next
week will in a great measure decide
whether we get any more produc-
tons of the Civic Repertory Theater
and kindred organizations.
1t is my hope, because know the
beauty and value of the story of this
play, that business will be of suffi-
cient Importance that we can say

York Theatre Guild, Eyes, we do

until the entire family is at work, all
finding happiness and contentment
in undreamed of ways.
When the father returns, Adam is
called to account, but he soon makes
satisfactory explanations, and all
ends well. Eva finds herself engaged
to Adam, and the father bestowS his
blessing upon the youth for restoring
an even tenor to his life.
Adam, as a character, is most
pleasing and eXacts a hearty appre-
citation from the audience with his
poetic fancies.
There is the woman devoted to
clubs, and the invalid with the caus-
tic tongue. The play has been we'll
cast, with each member of the COM
Pany appearing.
The authors evidently intended
their play to amuse, and it abounds
in sparkling dialogue, wit, humorous
satires and a happy and gay atmoS-
phere. The characters are human,
intended to be facsimiles Of real,
live folks.
Organ music will precede the PER-
formances, with musical numbers
also rendered between the acts.

WILLIAM HODGE Is
BOOKED IN NEW PLAY

William Hodge, a star of national
popularity and one who for many
years has always been a welcome
visitor to this city, continues to pro-
vide enjoyment in his newest offer
ing, THE Men at Home" which
comes to English's Monday, Nov 7,
for three nights and Wednesday
matinee.
The play is enjoyably filed with
Mr.. Hodges own dry and quaint
humor, and although as usual the
well-known actor author develops
his comedy through characters you
seem to know and with whom you
can laugh, the introduction Of a
mysterious crime into the action of
the piece marks a departure from
Hodges past offerings.
The scenes of the comedy are laid
in an incompleted house on coun-
try estate near New York. Wages, a
philandering architect, hot-headed
italian + lson, and the wiles of a
vampish female interior decorator
are factors that kindle a flame Of
bad feeling and misunderstanding

the drama--a perfectly composed

Singers to
Top Show
at Keith s
'BrevitieS' VIII Be on New
Bill at the Lyric.

There are certain teams" of
singers on the stage today who are
almost as popular and as well
known to the public as Mutt and
jeff.
One of these is Van and Schenck
another is Healy and Cross. The
announcement that Ed Healy and
Allen Cross are coming 10 B. F..
Keith'S next week to head the vaude-
vile bill is the only assurance need
ed by those who enjoy popular
songs, well sung, that the show
holds something for them.
While this team of singers de-
votes most of it's attention to the
melodies Of today, they occasionally
sprinkle in a little opera with the
popular tunes just to show what
they're capable of.
Bill includes:
CRAWFORD AND FREDERICK
I'm "a Smile or Two" have a
dancing, singing and talking act that
combines snappy and nelodiouS
music with humorous lyrics. Clever
comedy dialogue is interspersed
with gracefully executed dances in
their act, which is planned to
anuse.
GUS FOWLER-"The Watch
King" is the billing of this English
conjurer, who is appropriately de-
scribed as a "chronometrical illu-
sionist," since he uses full-size
watches in his act, instead of coins,
cards Or small objects. He is one of
the most prominent of the Eng
lish magicians, and was for several
years president of the English Ma
gicians' Club.
FOSTER AND PEGGY-An ami
NAL act that will appeal to those
who appreciate animal displays of
Intelligence. Foster is the man who
has trained Peggy, a small black
dog, to do many tricks that require
more than ordinary cleverness on
the part of the performer. The
most remarkable of these is the
playing of melody on a six-note
piano. Peggy does this to the &C
compartment of the orchestra,
keeping perfect time.
MARGOT AND BETH-In "a
Carnival Night" nave an attract
lively staged and beautifully cos
tuned act featuring the Collene
Sisters and Margaret Fallenius and

"THE WISE WIFE'-A William
De Mile picture, in which the fea-
tured players are Phyllis Haver,
Jacquiline Logan and Tom Moore,
is the story of a mouselike little
wife who almost lost her young
husbands love before she discov-
cred that, in order to compete with
an attractive "vamp" it was neces-
sary to adopt vampish ways herself.
Phyllis Haver has the part of the
wife, and is especially capable of
showing how charming she can be
when she decides to win back her
husbands straying affections.

Auto Uses Growing In Foreign Countries,
with American-Made Cars Earring Well

Keeping pace with the increase in
use of motor vehicles in the United
States, the number of such vehicles
outside this country has more than
doubled in the last four years and now
stands at about the same as the
United States, according to II. o.
Smith, chief of the automotive division
of the Commence Department. A
large part of the increase has been in
countries other than those In Europe
which are not densely populated and
where distances are great.
The American motor car is holding
its own in world competition, espe-
cially where 1t is not handicapped by
high and on-preferential tariffs. Mr..
