will not desert their brothers in

selves reserve for the fighters.

Norman Hacket Will
Appear in The Green
Hat at Grand Theater

Norman Hackett, who is co-featured
with Charlotte Walker in "The Green
Hat" which is booked for an engage
ment at the Grand theatre for one
night, Tuesday, March /, is considered
one of the leading actors of the Ameri-
can stage.
He is college man, being an alum
nus of the University of Michigan,
where he began his training for the
stage He is q prominent member of
the Theta Delta Chi fraternity, an Elk
and member of the famous Lambs club
of New York. He enjoys much popu-
larity as lecturer, being frequently
asked to address colleges, high schools,
Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs in the
various cities which he visits.
He began his stage career in Shakes
peare by supporting such celebrities as
Sothern and Marlowe, James and
Warde, Modjeska Rhea, Robert Man
tell and James O'Neill. He then be-
came a star in his own right and for
several seasons toured the country in
such popular plays as Classmates"
Beau Brummell,' Satan Sanderson,"
"a Double Deceiver,' Tea for Three"
and THE Typhoon."
He has headed many stock companies
in different parts of the country and
has appeared in numerous New York
productions. He is a great friend of
George NJ Cohan, who is staunch
admirer of Hackett, and with whom he
played in "The Tavern for two sea-
sons. His last appearance was in THE
Circle" when he was one of the famous
all-star cast including besides himself
Amelia Bingham, Wilton Lackaye,
Charlotte Walker and Henry E. Dixey.
Henry Duffey, the leading producer
on the Pacific coast wanted to send
him to Australia to star in J"The Best
People" but the opportunity to appear
with Charlotte Walker in THE Green
Hat" which has been the most sensa-
tional success of the last decade
proved too tempting and so local
theatre fans will have the pleasure of
renewing acquaintance with this popu-
lar actor when he appears in "rhe
Green Hat in which he is cast for the
splendid role of Napier Harpenden. He
and Miss Walker should make fine
foil for each other, and genuine treat
is in store for all lovers of good acting

Oklahoma Indians Will
Fight to Save Sacred
Herbs From OutIawry

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb. 10
(E9-Oklahoma Indians are on the
warpath. Peyote the sacred herb
that is the foundation of their ma
tive religious ceremonies is at stake.
The war however, is markedly i'll
contrast with the primitive methods
used half a century ago. Technical
experts, legal representatives and
eloquent orators have supplanted the
ambush and the massacre.
The Indians say the issue is Peyote
versus Christianity. While propon-
ents of the bill that would prohibit
the use of the herb, say the only
question involved is the physical eff
feet on it's users.
Peyote, small bean imported from
Mexico, is the sacrament used in
ceremonials of the native American
church founded a number of years
ago to perpetuate the aboriginal
religious rites of the Indians. Alfred
Wilson, of Weatherford, Okla, a
Cheyenne Indian, is president of the
church. He says it is administered
under the regulations of the church,
end that each commitment takes
four beans at ceremony. Wilson
denies that the bean which is chewed
and swallowed, has any permanent
pathological effect
State Senator A. E. Darnell Of
Clinton, author of the anti-peyote
bill, says the bean has an exhilarat-
ing effect on the user, causing him
to "see heaven" The after effect,
he asserted is stupefaction, during
which the subject may be easily
persuaded to part with his possess
sions
