Now we have the acting company
coming here for a week in
"Pygmalion" and Major Barbara"
both Shaw plays. That is important
news but beyond it all is this pos
sibility-IndianapoliS now has q
chance to become a subscription
city!
I asked William Kane, representa-
tive of the Guild, who is now here
in interest Of the visit of the Or
ganization, what was our chance of
becoming a subscription city.
His wire to Warren P. MunSell
brought the following answer: IF
indianapolis supports Guild plays
it will probably be possible to pro-
vide them with three to five plays
each year on the subscription basis"
If we become a subscription city,
and I know that Ad F. Miller, man
ager of English's, welcomes such an
idea, then we have the security
of at least from three to five Guild
plays yearly.
If We were a subscription city this
season we would have the rare OPP
portunity of seeing Caprice" l
sincerely DO hope that Indianapolis
will support the first plays that the
Guild brings to us this season. The
plays are there. Both have been
tested and Shaw himself thinks
they are good.
hope that the Guild this season
will send lis Wings Over Europe"
a play having not a single woman
in the cast, as well as ''Porgy."
I believe in people buying what
they want in the theater. II enough
of us want the Guild subscription
season then we will get it.
So those who are interested
should get busy at once.

in the Chicago Daily Tribune OF
Friday, in which he states that the
loss of Ravinia opera this past sum
merf was the staggering figure OF
S2O6 1876. That loss was shared

of Chicago and the north shore took
care of $108, 1889.

was paid by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Eek
stein, amounting to $98,39427.
Think of that loss on a season of
ten weeks and three days. So now
you probably can understand lit
tie better what it means when Ona
B. Talbot brings grand opera to In
dianapolis. 1t is something to think
about.
Mr.. Moore continues to state in
the Tribune:
These are eloquent figures. They cover
a period of ten weeks and three days, and
apply to thirty-three operas presented
during that period. Two of them, PUG
cint's LA Rondine' and Respighi's La
Campana Sommersa," were entirely new
to Chicago Another. De Faila's La Vida
Breve," classified as a revival, but has
been heard only at Ravinia.
Mr.. Eckstein says little about this coma
dition of affairs except to assert vigor-
ously that Ravina will go on. art pays
dividends in beauty" he says. ut can
not be expected to pay in material things"
Therefore," he adds, " deficits are the
unvarying rule Of opera and symphony.
Nor is it possible to reduce them without
drastic change in the policy Of Ravinia.
The public expects of Ravinia the greatest
artists OF the lyric stage. Having had them
and enjoyed them for many seasons, its
patrons will never be content with less,
nor will the management contemplate any
sacrifice of the splendid standards that
have caused it to be acclaimed as the
Beyreuth of America"
In fact, he adds. in order to maintain
those standards, future costs must be in
creased. "All in ALL is his conclusion,
"Ravinia has served its purpose as a cen
ter of culture and as a force in the
spiritual and esthetic development of Chi
cago. Because Of Ravinia. Chicago and
the north shore are better place in which
to live and rear your children. Because of
Ravinia, the fair name of our city has
been enhanced wherever music is known"
And now we in Indianapolis will
do well to face the honest cost Of
great music in this city.
BY comparison we can understand
a little better what the MendelSsohn
Choir, Ona B. Talbot and the Civic
Theater has gone through in keep
ing up and increasing high stand
ard in the arts.

Modern Version of Well
Known Play to Be
Given.

~ ENERATIONS have cried with
W Little Eva and laughed at Top
sy in "Unce Toms Cabin" and the
novel has been transferred to the
stage and the screen, but an entirely
new and original idea of Uncle Tom
has been arranged for the Colonial
the coming week and it will not
only be satire upon the play, but
also upon one of the film lots OF
Hollywood.
Filming Uncle Toms Cabin" is
the title and it is a laugh-provoking
burleSque upon company filming
the immortal play.
Eliza, of course, will cross the ice
filled river, pursued by the dogs, and
Little Eva will ascend to heaven
amid a beautiful transformation
scene, but even these have been
turned into laughs.
In the cast will be found Jimmy
Bova, Billy Wilson, Dot Bond, Mil

Art Vernum and Daisy Due. The
chorus will be used in the musical
numbers introduced between the
scenes of the burlesque.
, Rising to a tremendous climax
that will make most fans gasp, 1.-THE
Flying Fool" Pathe's all-talking air
drama, starring William Boyd, is
said to be one of the most thrilling
and entertaining pictures produced
this season. Although the story has
an aviation background, and though
it reaches a great dramatic cres-
cendo with a scene in the air, it
is not entirely an air story. 1t is
a human drama, which combines
pathos and comedy, played by a
cast of capable actors and moulded
into fine entertainment. THE Fly
ing Fool" will be the Colonial at
traction for the week.

muffin who is raised to the status
Of a lady by a professor of phonet-

Much comedy Is injected into the
play by the worldly observations OF
the girls father, Alfred Doolittle, a
dustman. whose philosophy Of the
undeserving poor furnished many
OF the highlights Of the play.
"Pvgmalion," which has much

Because of its timely theme, the
pIay furnishes much material Tor
after-theater discussion. The Sha-
Wan theory that poverty is the most
despicable of crimes and that the
avoidance of it should be the fore

central idea Of the play.

tribution. .... In no other fashion can you carry out the implications of human brotherhood.
 There are many of us who give, and perhaps their just share, but do not know when to give. Here too does the Community Chest aid us. The time to give is when help is needed. and that time for our community is now. So many of us withhold kindnesses until they can no longer be appreciated. It is often more important when you give than how much you give. Charities ought to be made out when we are most ready to give but when they are most needed
 Our institutions are human pro- ducts; they are not always the per- feet organization we would like to have. It is inherent in man that he can never attain his ideal. The ideal community has not yet been created. Very often it is in no way our fault that here are dark spots in our com munities. But these spots are in any event here. And it is the purpose or the Chest to do something toward the clearing away of these spots. You have often seen cartoons show ing silver dollar with wings. The dollars you will give for this cause will indeed have wings; they VIII be as angels bringing health and sunshine into the shadowlands. where these necessities are sore!y lacking.
 Let us then as brothers all help one another in the building of our home and in strengthening Of our brotherly relationships then will our Father bless our home and it's fam lly-our community of brothers With the blessing of health and plen- " and peace.

A gathering of several hundred former residents of Canada was as- sured that the new immigration laws will not result in wholesale deporta- tions to the Dominion in spite Of reports that about 23,00O persons in Connecticut will be affected. when Attorney Henri T. Ledoux of Nashua. N. H., spoke yesterday at a meet ing in Odd Fellows hall, sponsored by ,LCnlon St. Jean Baptiste D'Amerique.
 MT. LedouX Is national president of the organization. The fact thai the new law is to become effective July 1. and up to the time of MT LedouX's visit to this city several points were far from clear in the minds of French residents. attract cd the largest gathering ever to at tend a meeting
 The visiting attorney was surpris- ed to learn that his countrymen in Connecticut have been put in gen. eral fear of the new legislation and he promised 10 supplement his re- marks of yesterday with a detailed report on the purposes of the law.
 As outlined by the speaker, the immigration act makes it possible for the federal government to deport 10 Canada former residents of that country who have lived here less than five years and who cannot show a certificate of entry. Persons who came under this act cannot return Only persons who have entered the country illegally. that is without such certificates, need fear the terms of the law. MT. Lcdoux said. His knowledge of the conditions under which the French Canadians of Con- necticut are living convinces him there are few in this category. he said.

tire city-you are clearly aligning yourself with our enemiea
 We are proud of our city. Not because of the goods we produce. Not because of the wealth We pos sess or create. Rather are we proud of our city because of the men and the women We help to build. the homes that are ours, and the broth erhood we enjoy. Are you with us or with our enemies in the fur therance of this one source of our greatest pride? I know that one and all we shall answer, We want to live with our brothers.'
 ". .. This is campaign to destroy disease. to abolish misery, 10 aid the helpless, and to build heal thy and stalwart men and women.
 .. It is to do more. It is to prove to ourselves that our religion, our patriotism. and our humanity about which we so often are ready to boast are in truth realities. This campaign indeed is test of our loy- alties..
 The chairman of this campaign has we'll pointed out that the appeal is not for charity but for justice. l believe that I have once before pointed out that the Biblical in- junction to help the poor and the needy is based not on what We now conceive as charity but on justice and righteousness. And rightly so Surely you cannot consider aid given your brother as sweet charity Just ly and properly you must aid him: it is an obligation which no one can avoid. .. In a properly organized society there should be no poor and helpless. And if there be any such am ongst us then ours is the blame, and ours the duty to care for them. '. But let us assume that we all are ready to give, that we are prepared to aid the causes that make for civic betterment. Here does the Community Chest aid us in a most diffuclt social problem. It is almost impossible to determine for ourselves just to whom to give. what causes to support. -. l look upon the Chest as the heart of the com munity as the extension of our in- dividual human hearts that We car ry about in our anatomical bodies. This again is one of the discoveries of modern science. Man-it has been pointed out-has learned how to ex- tend his organs and expand their function. Witness. for example, the extension of the human legs into the aeroplane, the eye into the tel : escope and the microscope, and the ! mouth into the radio. Similarly we learned how to extend and expand our indirudal hearts into a commu- 1 nifty Chest which has carefully work ed out just what is expected Of us, just what institutions we are to sup port and in what way,
 And what is it that we are asked ? A days wages. Little enough 70 share with your brother, you will agree. ... But here I would rath-
 CT permit that old fashioned organ. your conscience to be your guide, It IS not a days pay-whether it be wages. salary or dividends that Is
 wanted. but rather your just share. Ask yourself if what you are giving is your just share in this great civic effort. Answer these questions hon. estly and then-increase your con-

 ters of hatreds and bigotry and opening his eyes to the glory of the world about us and its untold possi- bilities as . human dwelling place. In . word our new knowledge has not only rediscovered and reaffirmed for us that prophetic doctrine of human brotherhood. it has also pointed out to us tho logical impli- cation of that fact-namely the homehood of the world. If God is the Father and If We are brothers. then this Is our home. If there is dhe Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man then there must be the Homehood of the world. Simple and obvious as this may ap- pear to you it is nevertheless the greatest contribution as well as the highest aim of present day religious thought.
 Look about you everywhere, in church and synagogue. in pulpit and press. and you will find that the em- phasis today is rightly placed on hu- man needs and human hopes for to- day. for realization here on this earth. More and more does the church teach this homehood of the world. And. if I understand alright, the gospel that is being preached week after week to this class it is the urgent need to make of this home the best possible dwelling place for our father and our broth CTS. If we find our home tainted by sin. marred by hatreds. flooded by tears awry because of social mal- adjustments then it is our sacred duty to seek to readjust our social life. to do away with sin, to uproot hatreds. and to wipe away the tears of our brothers. And on the walls of this old-new home of ours, this home that can be made so pure and sweet and cheerful we shall hang that motto penned by Moses him. self. And thy brother shall live with thee.'
 Tt is just this message that l want to bring to you this morning want to live with my brother am 50 very anxious to obtain for your brother and mine not tolera- tion alone-that we grant willingly or otherwise to our worst ills-but human understanding and sympathy and above all what you would call Christian fellowship. And do not be deluded for a moment that my mes- sage to you and to the community at large is merely carrying coal to Newcastle There are yet far too many objectors-active as we'll as passive-to this ideal. We have yet many enemies to overcome before we can begin even dimly to realize the glorious ideal of true brother hood.
 For me. r the sponsors of this years Community Chest Campaign the issue is clear cut. We stand to- day on the event of a great cam paign and the question to be asked of every member of the community
 might we'll be that ancient demand of Joshua, Are you with us or with our enemies?' Remember well that we are responsible to our Father for the care of His children. Bear in mind that we are responsible to our
 brothers for the proper upbuilding of our home. If you, therefore, do not aid in this work. if you, there- fore, refuse your just contribution
