SHOW AT INDIANA

Benny Rubin, dialect comedy star
of the stage and the talking screen,
appears in person as the second Of
the new policy stage attractions at
the Indiana theater for the week

Miss Bennett has the role of a.
plain, homely secretary to a wealthy
philander1ng divorce lawyer. She
lives amid drab surroundings and
wears inexpensive dress in the early
scenes. However, she consents to
marry her employer with the un-
derstanding that the union is in
name only so that the man can
escape another woman. From this
point forward, the star takes adj
vantage of her husbands wealth to
purchase costly gowns and to travel
to Paris where she acquires style
and sophistication.
The husband, in accordance with
the marriage agreement, remains in
New York, where he is free to carry
on his love affairs with other wom-
en-. After certain adventures of her
own in the French capital, the wife
returns to New York to surprise her
husband with her newly accumu-
lated wardrobe and enhanced
beauty. He immediately falls in
love with her. The climax comes
as a result of his efforts to con-
vince her of his love for her.
Sin. Takes a Holiday was writ
ten for the screen by Robert Mil
ton and Dorothy Cairns. The dia-
logue was evolved by Horace Jack
son, who wrote the screen dialogue
for Paris Bound" Holiday" and
other productions.

CIRCLE FEATURES
MOTHERS CRY"

The Circle theater opens today
with the First National Vitaphone
screen drama entitled Mothers
Cry" The picture is a careful
transcription of the famous novel of
the same title, which was written by
Helen Grace Carlisle. It has been
adapted to the screen by Lenora
Coffee. Hobart Henley directed.
The picture tells the story of four
childrens lives and of their mothers
efforts to understand why they were
so different from her-and from one
another. one son eventually be-
comes a famous architect, the
other son dies in the electric chair
as a murderer, one daughter is a
happily married home-maker, and
the other daughter comes to grief
as the result of an affair with a
married man.
The mothers tolerance of the
wastrel son wrecks the entire fam
ilys home, which she had struggled
for years to maintain. Her husband
h6d met with an accidental death,
while the children were still young,
and the mother had managed to
provide for the family by dint of
hard work. Through all her chill
dren's missteps, however, she per-
sists in her love for each Of them.
The cast is said to have been
chosen by screen test only. The
mother role-which embraces more
than thirty years-was given to
Dorothy Peterson. stage star of
subway Express" "Icebound," "All
Gods Chillun," and numerous other
plays. This is Miss Peterson's first
screen appearance.

Football at Hopkins
baltimore Erening Sun)

baltimore Erening Sun)
Dean Berry, of the Johns Hop
kins University, is one Of those
who fail to see what advantage
accrues to@the Hopkins by hav-
ing a football team, especially a
team which is habitually
trounced by outfits representing
much smaller and less illustriouS
institutions. But what such re-
formers are up against was viv-
idly demonstrated in New York
last week when Dean Berry
went to address a meeting Of
Hopkins alumni on "a revivified
college where education shall be
a continuous process
After his address he had to
listen to an enthusiastic whooper
for football who not merely ad-
mitted, but boaSted, that the
New York club is already pay
ing the fees of eight particu-
larly muscular students, and
who urged those present to re-
double their efforts to see that
the university is filled with pre-
paid men Of mighty biceps.
Oh, well, Dean Berry should
be used to it by this time! The
breadth of a students shOul-
ders and the durability of his
skull count for more than his
intellect when it comes to put
ting on a good. show for the
alumni. And if the alumni re-
gard the principal business of
the college as football, played
largely for their amusement,
whose fault is that? After all,
the alumni are products of the
college, and it cannot escape
measure of responsibility for
their mental slant.
