The Stables

The Stables, Indiana's newest
dance place is now featuring Dennie
Dutton and his orchestra every
Saturday and Sunday nights.
The idea Of The Stables was con-
ceived by its manager, 1rl Keeper.
While making an extended tour
through the west, he found a
duplicate Of The Stables in the
mountainous section Of California.
The next question in his mind
was a fitting location for his idea
and he has found 1t situated in a
picturesque, wooded spot, fully city
block of the main highway, away
from the rumble and din of traffic
and located on the Noblesville Road.
The Stables is reached by driving
out North Meridian street to Fall
Creek boulevard, out the boulevard
to Noblesville Road, which is route
No. Is, then five miles out on route
No. IS to Seventy eighth street.
The interior of The Stables is
unique with its log ceiling, its roomy
booths representing stalls, each
having a name Of a thoroughbred
above the booth. Wagon wheels are
used for lighting fixtures. The
dance floor is constructed Of hard
wood and is considered one of the
finest in Indiana.
Keeper has awarded the contract
for the construction Of an outside
dapce floor Of hardwood where the
patrons Of The Stables may dance
under the skies to the tunes of
Dennie Dutton and his orchestra.
Keeper is also adding modern
and up-to-date kitchen for the pur-
pose of serving chicken dinners in
country style. He expects to have
it ready by the end of this month.

women leaders. Elizabeth Marbury,
member of the Democratic national
committee, thinks that at least one
such film should be part of every
entertainment program. Princess
Catherine Radziwill, society leader,
urges that movies should be used
to educate, scientific films teaching
the sciences and literary films
teaching literature and art"
Mrs. Gustav Ketterer, president
Of the Philadelphia Federation of
Womens clubs, states: I'VE need
more than ever at this time pictures
with high ideals and those encour-
aging true Americanism." Classic
drama and pictures relating to So
cial reform are her favorites.
Mrs. Dolly Gam, sister of Vice
President Curtis, iona Gale. the
author; Mrs. William Ayerell Harri-
man of New York; Agnes Repplier,
the essayist; Mrs. Margaret Sanger,
of birth control fame, and Mrs. An
drew Carnegie, widow of the steel
magnate, are among the many who
vote for serious problem plays and
inspirational and patriotic themes.
Princess Alexandra Kropotkin
thinks the screen has greater pos
sibilities than the theater, which
must conform to Aristotelian
laws, but discards comedy, saying
its wise cracks are dull cracks"
Viscountess Byng of Vimy, wife
of the great British war leader,
votes for classical drama and ira
gedy among her other preferences
on the screen, and Mrs. Cono5
Mast, vile of the New York pub
Usher, urges patriotic films with
stirring music and marches, believ-
ing that such pictures would do
great deal to lift the spirit Of de-
preston and show what a great
country we truly live in.
Mrs. Julian Street of New York,
the former Narcissa Vanderlip,
however, strikes another note. She
says: Il believe that most people
go 10 see the stars as I do. The
plays don't count so long as the
favoriteS are attractively present.

authority, also admits: II care
much more about the plays and
how presented than for the type

Authors. clubwomen, society
leaders, actresses and other fem
mime leaders unite in voting for
biographical, educational, scientific
and even classical themes, while
mere man seems content with
whatever will bring him entertain
ment and relaxation. The view
given by Joe E. Brown, the screen
comedian, I don't want to come
from the theater with more prob
lens than came in with" is shared
by many prominent men in all
walks of life.
George AIDE. who declares that
good movie theaters are giving
patrons more for their money than
they ever received before inside the
walls of any playhouse" states the
case for the men.
Il like any picture which has en-
tertainment value and does not Sc
riously attempt to set up standards
of living. over-emphasize the groSser
and more fleShly relations OF the
sexual relations, insult the under
standing or leave a bad taste in the
mouth" the famous humorist as
serts. IT like nonsense, If 1t is
sheer nonsense, and not nonsense
trying to be a carbon copy OF re-
atty.
"Melodrama is the basis Of all
good theater, whether you get 1t
from a talking picture or from Nv
ing actors moving about on light
ed stage. Melodrama may violate
the probabilities and still be accept
able if it deals with emotions and
impulses and deeds which reveal the
essentials of human nature. Love
stories, even of the super-heated
variety, are welcome if they do not
dissolve into hasheesh dreams OF
bare bosoms, wet lips and physical
abandon.
THE discriminating movie fan
does not demand sense or reason in
a picture if the players perform
divertingly and get over their effects
by artistry instead Of main strength.
Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Jimmy Durante and Laurel and
Hardy can do no wrong unless they
offend that tender organ known as
the stomach"
Women, however, continue strong
for themes that deal with such
problems as war and peace, patrio-
tism, civic righteousness and home
and family life.
Typical of this feminine vote IS
the statement of Mrs. Kathleen
Norris, well-known novelist, VINO
feels that pictures should represent
the real life persons live and the
real problems people face. AS her
own screen favorites she chooses,
among other themes, drama depict
ing spiritual struggle and the cur
rent problems of social reform.
Cornelia Otis Skinner. the actress

ton pictures, while Nancy Cox Nc

Civic to
Present a
Comedy
Last Play of Season Will
Be importance of
Being Earnest.

The perennially popular Oscar
Wilde comedy, THE Importance OF
Being Earnest is to be revived as
the last play of the current Civic
theater season beginning next Sat
urday, May 81.
THE Importance of Being Earn
est" is social satire done with
light and f1ippant touch and is the
outstanding survival of the COM
edies of the nineteenth century.
According to most commentators,
it is the greatest of Oscar Wilde's
plays. 1t is said that no other play
except those of Shakespeare and
Sheridan has so well endured
through repeated revivals as has
this one which had a full season on
Broadway as recently as five years
ago and has subsequently been done
by countless Civic theaters through
out the land.
The local playhouse has called
upon the outstanding players Of
this and the previous season for
the purpose Of giving the play an
"all-star" production.
The cast includes Katharine
Panther, Lois Graham and Mar
garet Winslow, each Of whom has
had the lead in an important play.
Hale MacKeen, Reginald Gar
stang, David Milligan and Arthur
Beriault. four outstanding men Of
the company, will play opposite the
above mentioned ladies. while Mary
Sinclair and Blair Taylor complete
the cast.
THE Importance Of Being Earn
est" will be done in the costumes
of the gay nineties and with set
tings appropriate to the period,
thus giving a reminiscent flavor to
the performance for the older pa
irons who are able to remember the
exaggerations of dress, decoration
and speech Of the mauve decade.

 STREAK OF BEAVERS; BEARS BEAT MUSKRATSI

Skipper Al Koski was in ter rible slump last night and his Beavers run of six straight vic- tories was broken when the Panth- CTS took two out of three games on the Elks' club alleys.
 Nobody else was bowling in very sensational style. Metcalf, whose team, the Bears, won two out of three from the Muskrats in the other match of the evening, rolled the highest scores, 204 in one game and 532 for total.
 Mrs. Mclean led the feminine squad with high total, 422, and high individual score, 151.
 There are two teams who hope to break into the win column for the first time tonight Strength ened by Guy McNaughton, who is returning to the game after long layoff, taking George Messer- schmidt's place, the Elephants will try to stop the rush of the Wolves in the first match. Then the Lions, who also have tasted nothing but defeat so far in the tournament, will tackle the Tigers.
