for one believe that indianapolis
Is getting the same shows that are
seen in other cities. And local thea
ter-goers appreciate this fact by
their patronage Of the Lyric even
during the hot months Of the sum-
mer.
Is not the Fourth Avenue Anuse-
ment Company Of Louisville, Ky,
which now operates the Lyric, en-
titled to some credit for having
taken this rundown house when
every one else refused it; spending
thousands Of dollars completely
renovating, redecorating and refur-
nishing It until it now ranks with
the most modern vaudeville theaters
In the middle west2
Did not they install a complete

order to correctly present the new

this they selected the Radio-Keith-
Orpheum vaudeville acts to supply
stage entertainment for Indianapolis
theatergoers?
say that this company had a lot
of courage and real confidence in
the theatergoing public of our city
to do this and do it when they did,
right in the beginning of a summer
season when most other vaudeville
houses think of closing.
Mr.. Eggleston further advised
readers to look at the vaudeville
programs of other cities where you
will see many we'll known names"
But why look to other towns; why
not encourage local institutions who
bring these strangers to the city and
which means business for hotels and
merchants; offering employment to
many citizens who are musicians
and mechanics.
I offer as proof of my statements
a few of the acts which have played
the Lyric since the new management
took over this house. On our last
bill we gave Indianapolis theater-
goers a name" Carl Freed and his
orchestra, who are concluding forty
seven weeks on the Keith circuit.
Freed has played in Louisville, Gin
cinnatl, Dayton. Detroit and other
cities mentioned by Mr.. Eggleston.
And he also played Indianapolis
at Keith's many years ago. If you
will look over the bookings in Keith
houses you will find acts which either
have played the Lyric this season or
are coming soon. Frank Melino
comes from the New York theaters
to the Lyric this week. Our Gang
Kids, who are slated for this month.
are in the east now and playing only
Keith houses. The Sherwoods have
been standard Keith act for years,
so has Leavitt and Lockwood, in fact
they came right from the Palace
theater in Chicago, where paste
boards sell as high as $22O. Frank
De Voc, Charles (Slim) Timblin,
Emily Darrell, Swor and Goode and
all of the rest of the acts which have
been seen at the Lyric are Keith
acts.
Many of the highest priced stars
Of the stage are in vaudeville today.
But let us look at the box Office
reports to find out how many OF

them really draw. And after all,
that is the barometer that really
speaks the truth for all concerned.
We are in the business to make
money and II the so-called names"
do not bring extra dollars in at the
ticket window, then most certainly
they have failed to entertain and
are worthless to vaudeville.
This, believe, is the case with
many of the So-called names"
However, there are plenty of names
that do draw many times their SAL
aries into the box Office tillS. And if
indianapolis theatergoers really
want them we are in a position to
supply the demand.
However. there Is, In my humble
opinion. just one way to bring
vaudeville back into its own and that
is by presenting consistently good
shows, not one week but every week.
To build up these shows with in.

The success Of nearly every vaude-
vile theater today, that is really in
the money" at the end of most
every week, is using this combina-
ton: 'Talkies and Vaudeville"
They are encouraging new faces
in vaudeville, booking new acts and
rebooking the best of the old acts.
And that is what we are doing at
the Lyric and will continue to do so
as long as Indianapolis theatergoers
continue to give us the loyal and
much appreciated support that they
have since May IL of this year.

telligent selection Of acts, which has
been so sadly neglected in the past
by Keith bookers and managers.
Vaudeville means variety, and with
out variety there can be no vaude-
vile. In the earlier days of Keith's
I have seen as high as three piano
acts on one bill; yes two or more
singing acts; and one week after

acrobats opening and closing the
shows, sketches week in and week
out until the audiences have pro-

but mighty few. Patrons began to
know the acts as well as the per-

reason, and one vital reason, for the
waning of vaudeville. OF course,

they are here to stay and vaudeville
audiences demand them just as
much as they demand vaudeville.
