"Flossie Flirt" will bring lasting joy to
the heart of any little girl and is the finest
prize she could win or the incest present
one could give her.
"Flossie Flirt" is unbreakable. She
opens and shuts her eyes, winks, rolls
them gaily, and calls "Ma-a-ma. She is
dressed in the latest doll fashion, in pref
ty organdie dress, hat and Undertaking,
and is % inches tall
You will have to see her to. realize that
this is the most real doll you have ever
looked at Call at the Circulation De-
partment of The Indianapolis Times and
compare "Flossie Flirt" with any other
doll you have seen. Once you take her
in your arms you will find it mighty hard
to lay her down again.

and the initial day of the summer
season of fun at the West Thirtieth
st. pleasure resort is being made
notable by several special features.
A free vaudeville act was to, be
presented in the park at intervals

Between 1880 and $50 this evening,
all rides will be free. and finally a
big display of fireworks will close

The admission charge to Riverside
Amusement Park has been abolished
this season, and the public is invited
to come and go at its pleasure.
The park is situated right in the
midst of the summer sports district
of Indianapolis. surrounded by golf
links, tennis courts, baseball dia-
monds and bathing beach, while
canoeing may be INDUCED in on one
of the most beautiful stretches Of
the river right at the park.
A great amount of money has been
expended by the park management
during the closed season on improve
ments, and many new concessions
will greet visitors this summer.
The laughing bears and the South
American and African monkeys are
in high spirits at the advent of the
summer crowds with peanuts to be-

other successful plays, and given it
an added touch Of Indiana drollery
that makes it especially appealing

Mr.. Cohan takes a young man

COMEDIES NEW TO
THIS CITY TO Be
GIVEN NEXT WEEK
'Pomeroy's Past and The
Home ToWners' to Be
Stock Bills.

"Pomeroy's Past" a comedy by
Clare Hummer, author Of Good
Gracious Annabelle" and other
successful plays, will serve to bring
George Gaul, Vivian Tobin, Eliza
beth Patterson, Ernest Cossart and
other favorites back to the Stuart
Walker Company and to Keith's on
Monday night.
The play is thoroughly original
comedy narrating the adventures of
Pomeroy Chiffon, rich young
bachelor, who wishes he was mar
ried. And he would be. married if
his older sister had not managed
things otherwise. She discourages
him, interrupts him when he is
about to make love, in fact contrives
to tie him effectively to her apron
strings, almost running his life.
The cast Of the play will include
George Gaul and Vivian Tobin, who
will have the leads; Elizabeth Pat
terson, Ernest Cossart, Muriel Kirk
land, Helen Emert, Elizabeth Tay-
lor, Harry Ellerbe and several
others. The play has been staged
by George Somnes and will be new
to this city.
Following "Pomeroy's Past" will
come the first indianapolis presenta-
tin of 1.-THE Last Of Mrs. Cheyney, y
one Of the greatest successes of re-
cent seasons, and one of the highest
plays ever shown in this
city For this play Mr.. Walker
promises a truly all-star cast. one
of the greatest, in fact, that has
ever been seen in Indianapolis dur
ing any winter or summer season.
An announcement will be made
shortly of the players who will be
seen here in "The Last of Mr.. Chey-
ney."
Tho Poor Nut" with Elliott Nj
gent and Larry Fletcher Of the orig
inal cast, will be presented at the
Grand Opera House, Cincinnati, the
same week that 1.-The Last of Mrs.
Cheyney" is being done by the To-
cal company. The following week
the plays will be switched and THE
Poor Nut will be seen in this city.
Stuart Walker has an exception
ally strong list of plays lined UP for
showing here in June and July. The
Butter and Egg Man" it is an
nounced, will be an early June pro-
duction, with Charm" and ALIAS
the Deacon" to follow.

It seems to me that the entertain
ment will be confined mostly to four
classes-stock, vaudeville, movies
and amusement parks.
With two stock companies, Charles
Berkell at English's and Stuart
Walker at B. F. Keith's, we are
sure of sufficient entertainment of
this class.
It can be recorded now that Ber-
kell is having his most successful!
and best financial season of his
career at Englishs. Better 9rc-
sentation of his r'o..'a in regard TO
scenic equipment as we'll as to cast
and the choosing of plays that pos
sess nearly universal appeal. All
have aided in making his season so
successful
Stuart Walker has just announced
some of his more important at
fractions in the near future which
will include THE Poor Nut" with
Elliott Nugent; Charm" with
Elizabeth Patterson; ''Kismet." with
an all-star cast; THE Wild Due"
with Blanche Yurka; The Enemy"
"Beggar on Horseback" and The
Jest for the first time in stock.
OF course, vaudeville is centered
during the summer at the Lyric and
the Palace AS usual, these two
theaters keep open the year round.
The movie theaters of course in
clude the Circle Apollo. Ohio, Colo
NAL, Isis. Uptown and others. Next
month. if present plans are carried
out, the Indiana will be formally
opened.
The amusement parks include
Riverside, Broad Ripple and Walnut
Gardens, Extensive improvements
have been made at all three parks.

SEVERAL BAD NEW
PLAYS FAIL ON
GAY BROADWAY
New. Crop of Shows Do Not
Measure Up to the Re-
quirementS. Il
BY Dixie Hines

NEW YORK, May 21.--There Is
some talk about establishing a fund
to be used in the purchase of medals
to be bestowed upon valiant ladies'
and gentlemen of the stage who are
compelled to fight against insur-
mountable handicaps of particulars
ly bad play.
For the past two or three weeks
no less than a score of such plays
have been presented, and the cast
OF at least number of those in the
respective casts, have fought a brave
but losing fight.
1t is believed that these heroes
should be properly rewarded, and
the only serious obstacle thus far
encountered Is the fact that no fund
would be large enough to purchase
medals for all who deserve them.
One of the plays that came, was
seen and departed forthwith was
called THE Lady Screams" And it
was quite enough to permit this OUT
burst from the lady well as the
gentleman who sat in the theater in
witness Of the presentation.
HE Loved the Ladies'" was an-
other play that engaged a cast OF
heroic players. This is the story OF
a man who was rather free with
his favors in his youth with dire re-
suits later in life. The playwright
sought to make this a comedy, but
instead it proved TO be a pathetic at.
tempt at what have you.
A New Burlesque
Triple Crossed" is a burlesque on
the melodramatic mystery plays that
have come to us. 1t is all rather
simple and but mildly interesting,
due in the main to the idea pro-
mulgated earlier In the season in
THE Spider" when most Of the mem.
bers of the cast are scattered about
the audience and strut their stun
from orchestra, balcony, box and
other seats. as. well as the open
space Of the auditorium, aisles and
street outside.
The play begins with play. and
terminates abruptly when, presum.
ably, one of the actors is killed ac-
cidentally. Then begins a play to
solve the murder. and when every
body has been arrested, a few given
the third degree and the seats are
rapidly becoming empty when the
occupants are removed to the stage,
we find it is all a fake and that in
repeating the performance for ths
benefit of the police a real murder
is committed and the thing begins
all over again.

Events in the Amusement Parks

dreds of couples skating to the
strains, of the military band; the
rocket, the thriller and racer are
roaring with their carloads OF
patrons.
Broad Ripple Park has been Sc
lected by a committee representing
the Junior Order of American Me-
chanics as the place to hold their
big picnic and initiation Of new
members which will take place on
June II. This will be one Of the
biggest outings in point of attend
ance probably ever held in a local
park.
A Statewide drive is now on for
members. and 1t is the intention OF
the order to initiate the new men,
bers in the new dance hall. The
committee in charge Of the affair
expects a crowd of over 10000 to
attend the outing.
An all.day picnic with an array of
special events in the new athletic
field and at the big swimming pool
will precede the initiation, which
will be held in the evening and
which will probably run until the
wee small hours of the morning
after.

various events of the afternoon
