I have received many letters re-
Gently from readers of this depart
ment protesting against the habit Of
people carrying on conversation
during talking movie.
If people want to CAB, why don't
they stay home and do it instead of
annoying people nearby,
1t is not only bad taste and a
complete disrespect of other peo-
Dle's rights to carry on a CONVERSE
ton during stage play as we'll as

anyway, especially when one has to

and stops for good.

who have been writing and begging

the indianapolis Civic theater:
That plays presented during the

Civic theater shall be chosen pri-
narily for their entertainment is the
recently avOwed policy of the direct
ors OF the organization. Mortimer
FurScott. Miss Eldena Lauter, My
ron Green and John Kautz.
1t is felt that since the Civic
theater has made a community prof.
ect, supported by the entire public
instead of by a few. the first duty
of the group is to present produc-
tons which will appeal to the great
est number
This is the most feasible way to
express appreciation for the gener-
GUS manner in which the public has
sponsored the drive for funds and
membership
In accordance with this policy the
/ first play will be The Lilies OF the
/ Field" by John Hastings Turner
which opens at the Playhouse, Nine
tenth and Alabama streets. on the
evening of Thanksgiving, Nov. %.
1t is an amusing comedy with
clever lines and situations, pro-
viding excellent opportunity for thc
actors to display their tclents. With
such fare it is confidently expected
that the house will be filled tC
capacity for every performance.

new dressing rooms and property
rooms have been built.
The seating capacity OF the house
has been increased one third. Few
alterations have been made in the
front of the house because OF
financial limitations. but it is eX-
pected that Improvements will be
made next season.
The greatest defects have been
remedied however, and the forth
coming productions will show the
benefits of the added backstage
facilities.
The theater itself will also be far
more comfortable, because OF the
newly installed ventilating system.
