A GOOD "KEMPY"
is ON VIEW HERE

''Kempy' is just the show to make
you forget your troubles in the real
and fancied perplexities of its young
and boyish central figure, "Kempy''
James, played by Harry Ellerbe.
Perhaps the home life pictured
here, with all it's ups and downs,
may not be portrayal of your own,
but it is close enough to yours and
mine to give you many a hearty
laugh and chuckle.
AS the twenty year old boy, who
is really an architect, but is working
as plumber in order to study the
art, Harry Ellerbe brings just the
right finish to the character. He
is convincing, boyish and impresses
you with his truthfulness. Nothing
is affected in his part, he is nat
ural and his troubles are your own,
and they make you laugh. What
more could be asked?
Elizabeth Taylor will make you
think of someone you know who is
just like her, but you just can't re-
member her name. AS ma" Bence
she rings as true as Ellerbe in his
role.
The emotional fireworks is mostly
left to Katherine Hall as Katherine
Bence, the young lady who is GER
tain she is an artist, but can't quite
make up her mind what branch of
this varied profession to really take
up. She handles it most capably
The whole cast is convincing in
their different portrayals and much
could be said about them, but you
are familiar with all these people
and know what to expect.
Valerie CoSsart as Ruth Bence,
George Alison as Dad" Bence and
Jack Storey as Ben Wade are prob
ably the next in order regarding
their ability in their different char
acterizations, but this in no way
detracts from the excellent work
done by Ricca Scott and Charles
Starrett, they make up cast that
proves highly acceptable.

Aldrich has several characters
that he imrersonates. Sir Thomas
Upton and Dickens Pagan, jug
gler and several others. A troupe Of

the paraphernalia Of this man. He
has some good things here.
The Upham-Whitney revue IS a
mighty good dance act. I was struck
more with the chorus. The success
of a dance act that has a chorus
depends a great deal on the chorus,
and this has a good one. The girls
do a Spanish number that is rather
good. They are followed by Jeanne
Upham and Ivan Luttman in a
Spanish number. Miss Upham does
the dance on her toes. Val Richard
does several eccentric and acrobatic
dances. The final is the Varsity
Drag, done first by two Of the girls,
then by Miss Upham and Luttman
and then by all the company. A
good revue.
Acrobatic are usually just &C
robatics but Inez and DeWynn have
given a classical touch to the usual

different kinds of dances into one.
And makes a pretty successful Job
of it.
There IS another hokem act on

Of burlesque. And to make it even

satisfactory night in the theater
while hearing this company in THE
Pirates" Here is the most salts
factory organization we have had
in Indianapolis since I have been
telling you about theaters. And the
shame and the pity of it all is that
so few people are witnessing these
treats. I have seen this company
in the three operas that they are
presenting, and I tell you with all
sincerity that each production is
perfect.
1t is libel against this city that
so few people are seeing these
operas. 1 am telling you frankly
that Indianapolis from "a civic and
theatrical standpoint Is going to be
all in the "red" when the facts are
known about the rotten business
done by this company. 1t makes
no difference how few people are
present this company acts and sings
as if thousands we're turned away.

way this city has bought these
REVEALS. We have had the best and
we have failed to buy it.
The marvellous ovation that those
present gave "The Pirates" last
night is enough proof Of the merits
Of the performance.
It is seldom that one company
can be a hundred per cent efficient

this company is. There is no argu-
ment to it.

INPACIF|C over
UNITED STATES
Controversy on Ownership
of Las PaImaS Settled
III After Thirty Years.
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Arbitra-
ton as means of ironing out the
rough spots in American foreign re-
lations has proved successful in the
quarrel with Holland over the own
ership of Las Palmas, an insight
ficant and wild island in the Paci-
fic, which the United States has
claimed for thirty years.
Although the verdict was against
this country, it was indicated today
the award would be accepted par
ticularly in view of the reaction re-
lection would have on the arbitra-
ton treaty negotiations the United
States is now conducting with many
countries.
Recalls Samoa's Dispute
Peaceful settlement of the con-
troversy over Las Palmas offers a
striking contrast with the many
naval threats and years of haggling
which have marked disputes over
other Pacific islands. In the case of
the SamOas, for example, an ulti-
mate agreement was reached only
after two treaties had been signed
and then not until Great Britain,
Germany and the United States had
dispatched sizeable naval forces to
the islands.
Opium Trade FIourishes
More than once this country was
accused in London and Berlin of
attempting surreptitiously to estab-
fish a protectorate over the Samoas.
In 1889 an agreement was con-
Guided in Berlin providing for
three-power protectorate, but ten
more years of pickering among
themselves and of quarreling with
the natives led to division of the
islands in 1899 among the three
powers
Las Palmas is a stretch of jungle
land rising out of the sea about
fifty miles southwest of Mindinao,
in the Philippines. Some 700 peo-
pie inhabit it. 1t was to suppress
the opium smuggling trade of the
island that the United States sought
