Misses" This last is a orchestra
made up of six young ladies who
have good jazz band. Miss Dan
drea is toe dancer who seems to
specialize on spins and twirls. This
is good vaudeville.
Dreis and Collins have comedy
skit that is all hokum. They take
up their time telling each other how
dumb the others father is. It's silly,
but it gets across.
Contortionists must have some
thing unusual to attract. Amazon
and Nile have achieved this in the
first part of their act where they
represent two alligators fighting.
Beautifully done. They have a lot
of other stunts, too, that are good.
Love, playing large part in life,
must necessarily play part On the
stage. Gary and Bald have skit
that gives you a glimpse into the
love life of the servants, There is a
laugh in this.
The old man thinks his son sap
and his stenographer good for moth
ing. Then the son wants to marry
the stenographer and wants his ia
ther to pay his gambling debts. The
girl saves the father lot of money,
so he makes the son marry her. This
skit of Charles Horn and company
is quite clever.

vastly different from such offerings.
Bey gives several other demonStra-
tons, but especially interesting was
when he made a chicken and then
rabbit rigid.
Bev gives an audience something
to think about and his entire offer
ing is presented in the most simple
manner, meaning that no unneces-
sary theatricals are used.
He is most Interesting when he is
going into and out of trance or
what you want to call it. But he
does accomplish, apparently, every
thing that he claims for himself
through his announcer.
Edwin and Lottie Ford with the
assistance of four other dancers
present a dance offering of beautiful
and individual merit. They work
up to a dancing finale which has
both class and speed. The stepping
in this act is of high order.
John Cornish is an Indianapolis
trained baritone. At present Emil
Seidel, we'll known as a pianist, is at
the piano. Cornish has voice
which reflects careful study and
training. I find no fault with the
voice, but more careful study OF
what is required on the variety stage
is needed, meaning the numbers
presented. The last half of his Of
fering has that quality of being alike
which prevents him from reaching
the desired climax. There is art
and quality in his voice and a wise
selection of numbers and more care
as to silowmanship will PIT him in
a more commanding post N. You
know what I think about Seidel--
There are mighty few in the bust
ness that can equal this man on the
concert stage.
May USher'S big number is "the
something wrong in Hollywood"
number. Here is clever and wise
fun, well done. Just why she uses
"Ain't That Grand and Glorious
Feeling" as her opening number, or
at all, is beyond me.

GOOD BURLESQUE
ON VIEW. AT THE MUTUAL

If the size of the people make the
size of the show, then "Follies of
Pleasure" at the Mutual this week
is a big production.
Clyde Bates is still with the show
as the leading comedian and is
helped with his slap-stick work by
Lew Petel. Bates is a very large man.
Opal Taylor is the soubrette with
the company and as such does most
of the dance numbers, although
Buddie Nichols and Jean GaSkell
have some numbers.
The big scene of the show is laid
in banquet hall with the table set.
In back of the table and high up
there is another stage where the
performers work for the edification
of the guests and the audience.
The chorus is we'll trained In
dances and songs and work together
much better than most of the bur-
lesque attractions.
All in all this is pretty good bur-

WITH GOOD CAST

There is no use to say now what
is thought of "Abie'S Irish Rose"
for everything has been said pro and
con on the subject some time past.
However, a new company has been
brought to Indianapolis in the fifth
presentation here of the play.
The best character in this play
is that of Solomon Levy taken by

full Abraham Levy. The part of the
little Irish girl, who married into the
Jewish family, is taken by Patricia

charming.

Kill Ordinance Providing for
$1,O78,000 Highway
Improvements.
MEANS LONG DELAY
Flood Prevention Appropri-
alton of $125,000 Is
Refused.

County council today killed an
ordinance providing for S1,078,000
worth of road Improvements in the
county and baked on measure to
appropriate $125,O00 for Morris st.
White River bridge, a part of the
flood prevention program.
Killing of the ordinance for i'm
proving seven roads means. that
the county will do no extensive road
improvement for at least a year.
The flood prevention sum is the
county's part OF the s285,O00 pro-
posed bridge repair and channel
widening for one mile and a quar-
ter. The ordinance will be con-
sidered again Friday.
Councilman John Shearer opened
the flood prevention clash by ask
ing Frank Cones, council and board
of works member, why the concrete
for bridge repair was to cost SIT q
yard.
Cones could not explain it.
Cost Declared Excessive
Figuring this out shows the cost
will be SIT a yard for concrete when
the stuff is selling for 50 to $40 a
yard ard the engineer estimated il
would cost $3.50 a yard Shearer
declared.
1.-The .trouble is there are too
many rubber stamps being used at
city hall and no one knows what
is going on" Paul Dunn charged.
1t is believed the bridge request
will be fought by the majority fac
ton Saturday.
Council President George Mont
gomery objected to County Auditor
Dunn submitting the legislation for
the seven roads all in one ordinance.
