"OTHER WISE MAN"
OFFEREDAT CHURCH
Amateur Players Adoption
of Biblical Pageant
PIeases Many.

A colorful and musical presentation
of THE Other Wise Man. was given
last night at Luther Place Memorial
Lutheran Church, under the direction
OF Bess Davis Schreiner. It will be re-
peated tonight and tomorrow night.
The Biblical pageant, adapted from
the story by Henry Van Dyke, was given
its successful first performance before
q well filled auditorium-an auditorium,
by the way, eXquisitely fitted to form
the background for such a production.
1t has been presented annually, for
several Christmas seasons. under Miss
Schreiner's direction and now has all
the thoroughnesS of a play made up
of professional elements.
Narrator Sits in Loft.
Above the pulpit stage, - the black
draped choir loft, sits the Narrator
miss Katherine Riggs of striking
beauty in her white robes, with a
golden h9fp resting against her. She
rises in her Discourse, then sits to play.
This she does beautifully. The music
is so arranged to at times coincide, or
perhaps Synchronize-to use a "talkie''
tern-with the words of the players
beneath. At other times it Is only in
cidental, but always forming a beauti-
full, melodious background to the story
Of the wise man unsung in the pre-
viouS traditional story.
A clue to the size of the production
may be gained by noting the fact that
the cast includes some 70 players. OF
whom IA, in addition to Miss Riggs and
Rev. Earle Wiley as the Voice, have
principal roles. There are five scenes.
Beautiful Costumes Used.
The costumes and the makeup Of the
players are especially worthy Of COM
ment.
Music accompanies all of the scenes
but two. Charlotte Hartman sings ex-
cellently as contralto SoloiSt. Among
her songs is q Hebrew lullaby, very
pleasing. The organ accompaniment
and interludes are played by Mrs Clar-
ence r. HammernesS.
No theater could be built that would
more appropriately house The Other
Wise Man" than the Luther Place
Church, with its high Gothic-beamed
ceiling and the prism-cut chandelier
hanging low over the center
The play will begin both nights at
$50 o'clock j. N. P.

American stage, is said to provide
many situations of peculiar strength

stantly the element of surprise-the
suspense is sustained and not until
the final fadeout. is the mystery
solved. There is robust comedy, too,
and love interest, to take away to
intensity of the grimness.

And out is the movie that shows
up penal institutions and colleges

Those are the new rules adopted
to govern the picture committee.
1t seems to me that to get results
in this day that the Indiana in
dorsers must go beyond a few rules
and be perfectly frank upon every
picture reviewed.
Instead of merely keeping a pic
ture off the list, the indorSerS should
give frank statement as to the real
quality of every photoplay.

"long lingering kiss" is upon the

sloppy and indecent kiss is and what
mannerismS make even the one

I know what silly direction can
DO to scenes showing prison life.
Take Jolson'S Say 1t With Songs,
for instance.

a courtroom scene becomes a silly,
foolish and an illegal presentation
of courts, jurors and judges. 1

PENDANT is violated in a silly and an
insincere handling of such scenes.

a good book is made into a movie
that has no more resemblance to the
original story than turnip has to
an elephant.
I know that silly and a cheaply
presented movie has no right to be
Endorsed for children to see just be-
cause it is lily white as to purity.
1 am against dirt on the stage and
the screen. am not against realism
when it is realism. I know that
there are many pictures that give
entertainment to adults with no
damage that would not even interest
younger people.
When all is said and done, the
indorserS are really self created
critics. Then it is my contention
that the merits aud dement's of
every picture reviewed by the re-
viewing board should be honestly,
intelligently and completely re-
viewed in statement.

"CHAUVE- SOURIS"
is BOOKED HERE

Morris Gest will bring Nikita
Balieff and his ever popular
Chauve-Souris to the English Opera
House on Monday, Oct. 81, for an
engagement of one week.
Gay, bright and cheerful as ever,
a galaxy of mockery, merriment
and exciting color, there will not be
a single number-except perhaps an
encore of the Parade of the Wood
en- Soldiers''-ever given here before.
AS in the past, Balieff's program
alternates between the sad and the
gay, in song and dance, and clever
revues that are universal in their
appeal. Imaginative settings, color
full, simple and most striking, retain
a lovable freshness.
Stirring folk songs, burlesque and
horseplay in plenty. make for in
finite and joyous variety. In fact,
such a sparkling concoction OF gay
colors and fantasy of lifting music
and rollicking dances, comes but
seldom-a veritable triumph Of
music and pantomime over Ian
guage.
But, of course, the animated gem
Of Chauve-S ouris is at all times Ba-
lief, moon-faced, droll, the master
Snowman, subtle in every detail OF
dress and department, as he steps
out before the curtain to make his
witty announcements in gracefully
absurd and picturesquely broken
English.
Balieff's Chauve-SouriS has long
since broken all records for visiting
artists from overseas. The first en-
gagement in New York began in
February, 1922. and extended ,un-
broken for sixty-f1ve weeks until
May, 1923.
Since then Balief has returned
again and again under the direction
OF Morris GeSt This will be his
sixth trip to America, and he will
be seen here in an entirely new pro-
gram, his seventh new creation!
The company just arrived from
Paris preliminary to a great trans
continental tour Of thirty weeks
from coast to coast.

1V1who follow the opera, will well
come the news that the American
Opera Company will appear in this

1t is planned to make this city
a permanent annual member city in
the chain of more htan score of
communities which have this noted
company each season.
A new type Of opera, cohmniing
all the grandeur and majesty OF
grand operat of the foreign school,
and including the most modern type
of production and staging, the
American Opera presentations have
set an international standard in
their few seasons OF existence.
On their international tour last
season they were the artistic SEN
satior of the United States and
Canada, and have jumped in size
from a small company to one of the
worlds largest and most important
groups, within the space of three
years.
Their productions are sung in
modern and understandable English,
and critics have stated invariably
that for the first time in America
the English language has been thor
cughly understood by the audiences
which have heard these slim young
artists.
vladimir Rosing, artistic director
and founder of the famous COM
pany, will come here when the COM
pany arrives by special train on its
second international tour.
A large symphony orchestra, I'M
der the direction of Isaac Van
Grove, recently conductor for Mary
Garden and the Chicago Civic and
Cincinnati Opera Companies, will be
another feature of the season here.

charged for foreign grand opera
presentations, will be in force, that

hear the most unusual school OF
grand opera.

Darrow, Sasu Pitts, Bert Roach,

The Lee Gail Ensemble, Glenn and
Jenkins and the LOoS Brothers are
the three UNDERSIGNED features OF
the vaudeville program.
The newest dancing ensemble is
brought into being by Lee, Gail,
said to be one of the foremost Of
the younger adagio dancers of the
modern school. Seven artists de-
scribe the Lee Gail ensemble, which
includes a wealth of unusual spe-
cialties, both terpsichOrean and
vocal. Beauty, grace and refneness
in which different phases OF dancing
are exemplified constitute the offer
ing Of Lee Gail ensemble.
Glenn and Jenkins are said to be
among the foremost colored come
dams in vaudeville today. Their
present act, called Working for the
Railroad" is heralded one of the best
travesties to be found in the the
alter. The trials, tribulations and
pleasures of the railroad porters are
unfolded by Glenn and jenkins in
their act by a series of songs, dances
and a goodly share Of comedy dia-
logue. Glenn and Jenkins, besides
being vaudeville bill-toppers, are also
musical comedy stars and have
made several best-seller phono-
graph records.
The Loos Brothers are harmony
singers who have the knack, artistry
and showmanship to sell a, popular
song of the minute in an entirely
new and novel manner. Ernie and
Billy as they are better known, hail
from the radio stations of Chicago,
