NEW PLAY
OPENS HERE MONDAY

The Lynne Overman. whom we
shall see in the leading comedy role,
in Shes No Lady" the new Frazee
farce-comedy. which will be seen,
beginning Feb. "a, for three nights
and Wednesday matinee at En-
glish's Opera house, is the same
clever young comedian who made
such a name for himself in George
Cohan's The Song and Dance
Man" The difference in status is
one not of talent but of mileage-to
be exact. the width of the Atlantic
ocean. For it was not until Over
man had scored a sensational hit
in London, in two plays, that his
native America woke up to the fact
that here was a light comedian OF
no ordinary gifts.
Lynne Overman was always rated
a good actor. over a brief span Of
years, in many roles, he gained ex-
perience and some favor; but he
was forced to plOd the difficult road
of many another unsung genius,
until destiny booked his passage
on the Cunard line to England. and
gave him the part of Robert Adams,
in the projected London production
of Just Married
This was in December, 1924, and
it was on the morning Of the 18th
of that month. following his open
ing performance at the Comedy
Theatre. that he woke to find him
self more famous in London over
night than he had become in
America in all his life time.
Vivian Martin played opposite
him on that well-remembered occa-
sion. and although she. too, was
cordially received. the first honors
remained with the young American
leading man. Before long the cables
began to tell us of his enormous
popularity in London. giving him
all credit for the capacity audiences
that f1Ocked for months to the
comedy. American managers be-
sieged him with offers to return to
Broadway, but he would have none
of them.
He stayed on and on with In
creasing favor. and it was not until
Just Married had completed its
fourteenth month in London, a rec
ord engagement, that his season
closed.
Even then London would not let
him leave and demanded him in
another play. The Hottentot,' a
piece in which William Collier had
played on this side, and under the
management of Sir Alfred Butt,
scored a further run of six months.
Probably no young actor, return
ing to his home land after such
glowing successes abroad. was so
much sought after by American
producers as was Lynne Overman
when he again saw New York. He
went away just a good actor. He
came home an International star.

WAR PLAY TO
BE SEEN AGAIN

It is with qualification that the
management of English's announces
the return to that theater of
Journeys End, for three days next
month. This is the international
success, which is now being played
in sixteen different countries and
which visited EngliSh's for a week
this season. The attraction at that
time made such a tremendous ap-
peal that many who were unable to
witness a performance Of this re-
markable drama then urged Eng
hsh's management to arrange for a
return booking of the piece.
Unable to book the company
which appeared here originally they
have succeeded in getting the Chi
cago company, the second one
formed in this country, and said to
be, in many respects, superior to
the New York organization enScOnsed
at this time in Henry Miller's
theater. Manhattan.
So the company to come to Eng
lish'S for the second engagement
but recently terminated four
months run at the Adelphi theater,
Chicago, subsequently playing De-
troit, Kansas City, st. Louis, Cleve-
and and Cincinnati. 1t will come
here direct from Pittsburgh. After
the engagement here return visits
will be made to st. Louis and
Kansas City, which were recently
played by the company to come
here for the return date. Indeed SO
great is the drawing power of
Journeys End" plans are being
made for this company to return to
Chicago for a summer run.
While the second engagement of
this play to English's will enable
many who we're unable to secure
seats before to buy them this time,
undoubtedly there will be those who
will want to see the Chicago COM
pany in this memorable drama. Be
sides, it is said, that during the long
runs of Journeys End in the
larger cities it has a way Of at
tracting many theatergoers to sew
eral performances.

Received the following this week
from Forrest Bennett Of this city:
Are we going to have dramatic
stock this spring and summer? Is
Mr.. BerkelI going to return to Eng
lish's? Don't you think that he
could come back this spring and do
profitable business? 1 think that if
he would bring back the former
company headed by Milton Byron
and Edythe Elliott he could make
his company pay. l am sure that
if he would present plays that we
are interested in he would not have
to worry about business. 1t seems
that people in Indianapolis follow
certain players SO if he would give
us what we want, the box office
should take care Of itself. What do
you think of the idea? Hope you
can comment on this in your col
umn, and do what you can in
stimulating interest of the public
and in inspiring Mr.. Berkell to re-
turn to us this spring"

1880 Models.

With three new series of straight
Fights and a popular priced six
cylinder model, the 1890 activities
Of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation
enters the broadest scope in the
history of this twenty-one-year-old
company. The 1880 list prices for
Hupmobile products range from ap-
proximately 81, 900 TO the s3, 900 price
group, indicating the extensive COW
erage of the company's representa-
ton for the new year.
The two newest Hupmobile models
at this years automobile shows are
the new "H'' and ~" series, both
of which boast some outstanding
engine developments in their l33-
horse power motors. Unexcelled hill
climbing ability. speeds of ninety
miles an hour, continued high
speed performance and startling &C
celebration are performance features
of the two new Fights.
In addition, these engines intro
duce two distinct innovations to
the American automobile industry.
These are double down-draft carbu-
retion as applied to the straight
eight type of engine, and radiator
cooled oil.

q speed OF eighty miles an hour is
obtained easily. Its acceleration
rate is remarkable, being seven sec
onds fiat from five TO twenty-five
miles an hour.
This car introduced the first
single decorative motif to the
American motorcar trade. This new
theme consists Of using the same
simple decorative scheme through
out the car, on exterior hardware as
we'll as on sll interior hardware and
fltments.
New Motif
The new motif, the source of
which is geometry, has three SUI
perimpoSed bars of baguettes.
Among the many accessories and
equipment items decorated with this
single theme are the head lamp
and parking light rims, bumper at
tachmentS, parking light bases, hup
caps, exterior door handles. radia-
tor emblem and radior cap. The
same decorative scheme is carried
out on all interior hardware.
There are several mechanical fea-
lures characteristic of all 1880 Hup-
mobile models, which are note
worthy because of appearance and
their far-reaching effect on trouble
free service, longtime economy and
operation.
First is the use of Hupmobile-
Midland steeldraulic brakes on all
four series of 1880 models. Engi-
neering tests, it is said, have shown
this brake to be far superior to any
type of mechanical brake yet tested.
They are of the one-Shoe, internal
expanding. self-energiZing type.
Controls Changed
Another feature carried through
out the four lines IF 1880 Hupmobile
cars is that of full pressure lubrica-
ton to all main, connecting rod and
piston pin bearings. Hupmobile was
among the first of American manu-
facturerS to recognize the value OF
po-itive fabrication as related to
long and economical performance.
Since 1925 this feature has been an
outstanding point of comparison on
all Hupmobile models.
Controls of this new six are
changed to handler locations than
formerly. The tilt-beam or DINNER
switch is located on the toe board
where is is controlled easily by the
drivers left foot. The steering wheel
