Inc particular garter in question
happens to be adorned by a photo
graph Of young man who, in a
romantic moment, had presented it
to girl friend as a token of his
affectionate regard.
This is well enough until he gets
engaged to another girl whereupon
he becomes imbued with the idea
that as a matter of discretion he
ought to get possession of the tell
tale garter without either of the
fair charmerS knowing it.
Such quest naturally gives rise
to ludicrous complications and there
is never a let-up in the fun from
the start to the final climax.
In addition to Miss Arnold others
of the Berkell forces who will be
active in the hilarity are Philip
Brandon, Virginia Stevens, Mildred
Hastings, James Leroy, Milton By
ron, Beatrice Lieblee and William
Maloney.

The following year, the members
Of the chorus joined the Indianap-
oils Matinee Musicale and func-
toned as the Matinee Musicale
chorus, appearing on programs of
the active section with choral num-
bers and assisted various musical
clubs in presenting programs.
In 1927 the interests OF the music
section of the art department of the
Woman's Department Club attract
ed members of this group and they
soon affiliated themselves with this
section. One purpose of this music
section was to invite professional
musicians and amateurs, for
course of music study.
This section, with Mrs. Parker as
chairman, soon developed into a
choral body.
Mrs. Carl Switzer was made
chairman of the choral committee
and Harold Winslow was chosen as
director. The chorus then became
known as the Woman's Department
Club Music Section chorus.
Their public appearance was on
April %, 1927, after which the
chorus was largely instrumental in
making the first contest in choral
music, arranged by the State Fed
Grafton of Music Clubs, success,
thereby receiving honor for the De-
partment Club and the winning of
the trophy for the year offered by
the Indiana Federation of Music
Clubs.
The following year the music Sec
ton gave as one of their programs,
selections and readings from the
Flying Dutchman," with the choral
group rendering the Spinning
Chorus" and Mrs. Leo K. FeSler,
reader, and Marian K. Thomas, T.
william Engle, Austin De Wore and
Miss Gertrude Gutelius, soloists.
Another program presented that
year was Music in the American
Home" playlet written by Mrs.
Carl Switzer.
The section after becoming fed
Grated, assisted in a program being
broadcasted from the studios of the
WKBF broadcasting station.
The chorus again entered the sec
ond choral contest in 1923 sponsored
by the state federation of music
clubs, with thirty-five members
singing and the second prize was
awarded after a close competition.
In the spring of the same year,
through an action of the board of
directors of the Women's Depart
ment Club, sections Of the club
were abandoned and it became
necessary for the chorus which was
largely composed of nonmembers of
the club, to seek aff1iations else
where.
Forthcoming was an invitation
from Mrs. Robert I. Brakeman and
Mrs. Hugh McGibney, to the or
ganized chorus to join with the
Matinee musicale, which proposal
was accepted by twenty-five mem
bers of the chorus.
On April %, 1929, the organiza-
ton became the first choral section
of this body with Mrs. Wilson B,
Parker, chairman; Mrs. Carl Switz-
er, vice-chairman, Mrs. E. H. Eding-

THREE HEADLINE
ACTS NOW AT LYRIC

No less than three of the sextet
of RKO vaudeville acts which COM
prise the stage show opening at the
Lyric today are reported to be of
headline caliber.
They are Beth and Betty Dodge
and their Partisan Revue" Benny
Ross and Maxine Stone, and the vet
eran vaudeville comedy pair, Billy
Hibbitt and Marie Hartman.
zasu Pitts, June Clyde and Nor
man Foster are featured in the new
Universal picture, Steady. Com
pany."
The Dodge twins, Beth and Bet
ty, are two American girls who, I'M
like so many of their sister artists,
first jumped into the limelight on
foreign soil. 1t was in the very
naughty and gay Partisan "Follies
Bergere" that these young ladies
won their spurs, and then it was
that Shuberts returned them to the
U. S. A. as the stars of their own
Broadway show, "a Night in Ven
ice"
And here they are in RKO
vaudeville, offering a many-scene
revue.
Allen and Kent, two dancing boys,
aid the girls in their act.
On the stage Benny Ross is said
to be man of multiple PERSONAL
tiles. He is himself and almost
any one else he may choose to be.
In his act he selects to be a num-
ber' of stage and screen stars. He
is George Jessel, Harry Richman,
Maurice Chevalier, Al Jolson, Tito
Ruffo, all by varying his method of
singing.
Maxine Stone, a redhead, intro
duces several intricate acrobatic
dance steps after which she engages
in fast exchange of comedy chat
ter.
Marie Hartman is said to be one
of the funniest women in vaude-
vile, and of the Marie DresSler
type. Billy Hibbitt is her foil. This
season, they present new sketch
called, "The Hot Dog Lady"
