1t is about as large a collection

Of course, those who know their
vaudeville necessarily know Alex

the fact that they are probably the

deserve the crown of the kingdom

COMEDY HIT
DUE AT KEITH'S

Beginning next Monday night,
the Stuart Walker Company will
present the French comedy, "Her
( Cardboard Lover" which served as
THE starring vehicle for Jeanne
Eagels and Leslie Howard for nearly
two years.
Stuart Walker is the very first
producer permitted to play this ex-
traordinary comedy that delighted
New York for such long time.
It was written originally in
French, by Jacques Duval, and
translated by Valerie Wyngate for
Laurette Taylor, who found that
she had neither the physique nor
the talent for particular part of
the whimsical divorce, SimonC.
Later, with the help of P. G. Wode-
house, the play was adapted and
presented with Jeanne Eagels in
the leading role. The play won in
slant success and praise from the
critics.
Simone is a charming young
O1VOrcee VINO mas won her case on
infidelity. Still she is madly in love
with her ex-husband. TIC fortify
herself she hires an attractive
young chap whose duty is to keep
her from her husband and her
husband from her. 1t is a precarious
business for the young man, who
must become involved in subter-
ftges, pajama parties and broken
hearts.
Muriel Kirkland will have the
role of Simone, while Gavin Gordon
will be seen opposite her as the
f'cardboard lover" Others in the
cast include Jack Storey, Elizabeth
Taylor, George Alison and others.
"Her Cardboard Lover" was
originally written for girl much
younger than Miss Eagles and when
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-07-07

it was found that it would be
difficult to find such an actress, the
role was revamped. Mr.. Walker
casting in this role will be more
toward what the author originally
sought for.
"Her Cardboard Lover" is not a
risque play, but is a delicate love
story of two young people who get
on the wrong track in life.
The girl, Simone, is young and
sophisticated and not experienced
enough to handle men without
giving her hand away to the
brighter of the two men. Simone is
unfortunate in this respect that she
has fallen in love for the first time
with an older man.
Then she decides to use a trick to
keep herself from the husband, but
finds that upon meeting him she
loses herself and wants to go back
to him.
The young man she has hired to
protect her from herself is wise and
knows that if he can delay her long
enough he will not only save her
from herself, but show her for the
first time what love really is.
Sunday nights performance at
Keiths will be the last appearance
here this season of George Gaul.
The play is "The Copperhead," a
drama of the Civil War and was
written Augustus Thomas from a
story by Frederick Lands of Lo-
gansport.
other plays to be seen here soon
will include Broadway" Might
stick" and 1.-THE Plays the Thing"
Mckay Morris will be seen here
soon in a series of plays.

Berkell has a wise head when it
comes to figuring the box Office value
of play. He told me that he be-
lieved that his patrons would be in
terested in seeing how his company
played the various characters.
And that was just what happened.
When was in the theater, the au-
dience seemed to be more inter-
ested in how Larry Sullivan looked
as Patrick Murphy and how Milton
Byron got the needed dialect for
Solomon Levy and how Edythe FL
lott dressed Rosemary than the
comedy lines of the play.
Most Of the audiences seemed to
be about letter proof as far as the
play is concerned.
And so we have a splendid box
Office week at English's, even in the
face of bad weather, even a bad
storm.
The draw Of George Gaul in 1.-THE
Copperhead" has been very strong
at Keith's this week. Gaul's Milt
Shanks is one of his greatest stage
creations. I consider him as great
as Lionel Barrymore in the role.
And SO we have both the Berkell
Company and the Stuart Walker
organization drawing large audi
ences on the strength of the bills
offered.
Funny things happen back stage.
Last Sunday night, Larry Sullivan
was greatly worried over his charm
ing wife, Idabelle Arnold. who was
removed to the hospital that morn
ing for an operation. And so Larry
ordered a large basket of flowers
sent to his dressing room so that he
could take it to the hospital follow
ing the performance. The flowers
arrived at English's and Bill Hull,
thinking it was a gift to a member
IF the company, sent the flowers to
the box Office so they could be sent
over the footlights. Hull din't know
the address on the basket. Never
was an actor more taken back when
the large basket of flowers went over
the footlights than Sullivan was
when he received his own basket of
flowers.
I received several letters this week
from readers of this department
making inquiries about the origin
of the expression "clump-clump"
used in my box verdict review in
Mondays Times. I used "clump-
clump" to express the walk and &C

originated with Henry Behrens, In
dianapolis decorator, who uses the
word in describing the modern youth
who goes "clump-clump" down the
street With his big shoes and
Tapping trousers. "Clump-clump"
certainly explains every thing. No,

not coin it, it was Mister Behrens.

USE OF LAND HELD
VITAL TO SUCCESS
Owners Are Urged to Survey
District to Decide on
Suitable Building.

Owners of land cannot afford to toss
coin to decide whether to build an
apartment house or an Office building
on a given site, because the proper
use of the land can make or break its
value, says the National Association of
Real Estate Boards in an educational
article released today.
There is a certain type of structure
suitable for every piece of urban real
estate and property owners should seek
advice on this subject before breaking
ground, the association holds.
Three Factors Cited.
"It is not enough to observe all of
the advanced rules In selecting a loca-
ton unless after its selection the land
is developed to the best advantage, be-
cause maximum values cannot be
brought about for urban real estate
until the proper buildings are placed
on it," 1t states.
use of urban land is complicated by
three outstanding conditions-variety of
optional uses. changing land uses and
changing public policies.
Urban land is put to many different
uses and often 1t Is optional which use
shall be chosen. A business site might
be used for department store or an
office building: residential site for a
single-family dwelling or an apartment
house. With optional uses open for a
given site, only the most careful
analysis will reveal which is best.
THE problem is made more difficult
for the average property owner to decide
without expert advice by the fact that
urban land uses are changing con-
