LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS ON KEITH BILL

The Walter Partridge Revue with
the sixteen Diana dancers is the at
traction at Keiths this week. Fea-
tured with the act are the Marber
Sistres and Mary Alice and Mary
Louise.
The chorus, which Is composed of
the sixteen Diana dancers, perform
many intricate steps against yell

together until one of them spied
some one in the audience and start
ed some individual something" and
consequently threw the whole line
out of step.
The Marber sisters do som "blues"
songs and a variation of a Dutch
dance. They are a good duet and
featuree baby sister and a novelty
number with the chorus.
There Is toe dancer, and a typ

drama Of the old school, The city

he don't do right by Nell" or as
it happens in this case, Sue.
Sue Roberts is played by Maize
Dixon, and Kenneth Winthrop, the
rich city man, is played by Larry
Ansman. These two are the out
standing players of the company
this week.
Don Dixon is still playing the rube
of the company. It would seem that
there is no lines written for him,
but nothing loath, he puts them in,
at times breaking the continuity of
the story so much that its impossible
to follow the events clearly.
Between the acts there is some
vaudeville sketches introduced,
among which, are some songs by
Hope Wallace, and a Negro dancing
act.
This is the old "tear up the child

drama.

dressed at times to represent the
boys of the North and then Of the
South.
1t is in the first act that we first
hear the big number, "Your Land
and My Maryland" 1t makes the
stars of enthusiasm run up and
down your back. And the way these
men sing it. They lift it to the sky
and this tune stops the show. 1t is
often used during the action of the
story.
The men in this chorus do not
look like chorus men, the breed so
often reflected on the stage. They
sing with ease and understanding
And they act like fighters. This
chorus to me is sensation.
In this company we are fortunate
in having, Lottice Howell as Barbara
Frietchie. In addition to having a
voice that meets most demands of
the score, she is blessed with that
dramatic understanding Of acting
which can make or break even the
best singer. Here is difficult act
1ng-singing role. Both are essential
to a satisfactory playing of Barbara.
Miss Howell never overactS. She
knows her musical score and above
all she knows how not to overact
even when she has the license. Here
is beautiful performance.
Then we have George Rymer as
Captain Trumbull, the Yankee with
whom Barbara is in love. He sings
well and earnestly although he is
inclined to overact when wounded
in the last act. But he, too, prob
ably has the dramatic license.
Then we have the "cuties" Betty
Byron as Sue; Jean La Mari as
Laura, and Helen Doyle as Sally.
Cute and sweet are they in their
old fashioned southern frocks. Beau
tiful pictures they are.
For comedy relief we have Alex
ander Clark as Zeke, who proc1ains
that he is Just a 'hoss thief" who is
jest on one side and then the other.
Here is good comedy work, excel
lently done. The man knows his

MRS. NELLIE DRIsKELL

MRS. NELLIE DRISKELL
the wonderful work of this medi-
cine in my case.
This grateful statement was made
in a report received just a few days
ago from Mrs. Nellie Drickell, we'll
known resident of indianapolis, liv-
ing at 237 E. Pratt ST., this city. It
was given in person to the Konjola
Man at the Hook Drug Store, ILL
nois and Washington Sts, Indian
apolis, where he is explaining this
remarkable medicine to crowds
daily.
1T had a severe case Of stomach
trouble and had to live on strict
diet for a long time. There were
only few foods that agreed with
me, and even these would cause me
all kinds Of misery. Never did I
feel comfortable after eating. I'm
digested food would sour, gas formed
and would bloat me up something
awful, a hot bitter liquid would rise
in my throat, causing a burning
sensation in the pit Of my stomach
and the indigestion pains were
sometimes more than could stand.
Along with this, I suffered a great
deal with my kidneys. Dull, aching
pains would strike me in the small
of my back and when I would sit
down for a while, it was all I could
do to straighten myself. My liver
was very sluggish and inactive and
/ was always taking laxativeS of
some sort. AT night would often
wake up on account of nervousness.
/ never slept well at night, and in
the morning I always felt tired and
achy.
'"This was my condition when I
started taking Konjola and it turned
out to be exactly the medicine that
my upset system needed. My stom-
ach was soon in good condition
again. began eating anything that
was put before me and never Suf-
fered any of the old miserieS after
ward. My kidneys have been re-
stored to healthy condition and
the dreadful pains in my back have
disappeared. I have been entirely
relieved of constipation and I don't
knoF what it is to take laxatives
anymore. My nerves are stronger
and never wake up in the night,
but sleep straight through until
morning and get up feeling fine.
"Konjola is a remarkable medi-
cine and a wonderful system builder.
Whenever meet a friend, or some
one I know who is suffering I tell
them about this new remedy"
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois and Washington
Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits of this
remedy. Konjola is being sod by
all the best druggists IN al owns
throughout this entire secCicn.-Ad-
vertisement.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-12-06

merit as well as novelty. There is
another act o nthe. bill, that OF
Douglas and Claire, which also re-
fleets originality as well as ability.
A man and woman first appear to-
gether in an old fashioned stock,
such as used for punishment of
"bad" people in Puritan days. They
sing a sob song about "Bluelaw
Blues" They want to be pious and
they must dance. And they do in
the stock. This machine of punish
ment does not prevent them from
even doing the "evil black bottom"
Both of these dancing acts will COM
mand your attention.
Hokum of the slapstick burlesque
type is to be found in 1.-THE Sales
man" as presented by Tony Levine
and company. The Jack Hughes Duo
play many musical instruments sat-
isfactorily.
A song made up on the spot seems
to be the chief event along fun lines
that Woods and Frawlis have to
offer. They work along eccentric
comedy lines.
In speaking of the good thing on
the bill, I should have mentioned
right along with the dancing vim
ners, Miss Marcelle who specializes
in southern songs of the synco-
pating type. Her makeup is splen-
did and she keeps up the black and
tan effect right up until her last
number. She is good artist and a
mighty good Snowman. Deserves to
be considered among the winners.
Pardon me, but I have misplaced
the name of the last act that closes
the show. Movies complete the bill.

on view at the Lyric this week.
We will first consider the dancing
of Caranas and Florence Barker in

scenery as those who framed the

comes rather tame Gas written in
the second act, Clark keeps the fun
ball moving while he is hunting

dollar for dollar for Union coin.
And he remarks after the trade, 81

From a scenic standpoint the first
act is one of soothing beauty, quaint,
wholesome, just like a picture book.
It is well mounted show at all
times.

Naughty Mites" at the Mutual.
This is burlesque with kick to it.
The comedy of Fares and Gilmore
is slightly tainted, but it is done with
a deft touch that makes it hard
to get angry with them. But the
fact remains that the jokes are off
color, not in so many words, but in
the presentation.

There is no comparison between the

The old diploma is clear cut, soft lined
and shows the picture of the Capitol in
pleasing, cameo fashion.
The new diploma gives the appear
ance of being haphazardly smeared
with ink, causing the picture Of the
Capitol to look the work of an anna

lines in the letters on the diploma
and generally gives an unfavorable
impression.
While the new diploma is of such
