1.-THE list of new one-act plays
will be announced later, but they
will again present such celebrated
ones as, The Rising of the Moon,'
Kathleen nj Houlihan,' Spreading
the News The Shadow of the
Glen Grabbed Youth and Age
and Riders to the Sea- They will
be used again with the two-act
plays to round out a full evening
Of complete enjoyment.
"It has long been conceded that
the most perfect English is spoken
in Dublin and as these plays are
all spoken in this perfect English
our theatergoer has no need to
worry about whether he can I'M
derstand the dialogue or if he will
have to depend on pantomime for
his evenings entertainment. These
plays are not what is termed high
brow entertainment written for
the intellectuals, but are written
with that simplicity and direct
ness Of style that appeals to every
class Of theatergoer. The same
competent cast will visit us again,
but especially augmented on ac-
count of their new repertoire and
The Plough and the Stars"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-02-10


The main reason that the splen-
did touring productions Of Arthur
Oberfelder were withdrawn from
indianapolis was that there were
not enough people present to
make the season profitable. If
English's had broken even and
not made a cent profit, the sea-
son would have gone on.
Plans are being made by sew
eral important companies for
touring next fall. One of these
is the Abbey Theater Players
from the Abbey theater, Dublin,
Ireland.
Do we want to see these great
people in equally great plays? If
we do, then we had better get
busy.
Please write me and let me
know if you want indianapolis in
cluded on the tour. I will turn
those letters over to Vincent
Burke, manager of Englishs.
Fred w. Jordan, representing
the Abbey Players, has sent me
the following letter:
Alder & Wickes, Inc, who spon-
sored the last two successful tours
of the Abbey Theatre Players
from the Abbey theater, Dublin,
Ireland, now definitely announce
the return in the fall Of these ia
nous players who, with their bril-
liant repertoire and harmonized
beauty of acting, again left an
indelible impression on American
audiences last season.
They will arrive in Boston the
first week in october to start
their transcontinental tour, be
ginning with three weeks in New
England. before they arrive at the
Martin Beck theater in New York
the latter part of the month. The
New York and Chicago engage
ments will be cut to three weeks
and Boston to two, so they VIII
be able to fulfill engagements that
other cities were clamoring Tor
last season. but could not be filed
on account of the pronounced
success in these cities.
The tour next season will take
the company from coast to coast
and will constitute their longest
Americans stay which will, in all
probability, be their last visit for
some years to come, as it was only
because of the recent conference
between Lennox Robinson, the
managing director of the Abbey
theater, and Ebert A. Wickes, that
the other directors of the theater
decided TO let the players make
this tour.
The repertoire for next season
will contain a whole series Of new
plays, famous in the Abbey roper
toire, including the stirring and
vital The Plough and the Stars,
for which American audiences
clamored last year.
They will also bring with them
such proved brilliant successes as:
The Playboy of the Western
World by j. NJ. Synge; June and
the Paycock.' by Sean O'Casey;
The whiteheaded Boy by Len
nox Robinson; The New Gossoon,

Today's Science
By
David Dietz

MANY who think of the name of Cotton Mather
WI only in connection with the Salem witchcraft
prosecutions. will De surprised to hear that he de-
serves the title Of the father of popular science in
the English language.
curious little volume which has Just come to
light in the collections Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton shows that he was the author of what was
probably the first volume Of popular science pub
Ished in English.
The book is entitled, 1.-THE Christian Philosopher
Collection of the Best Discoveries in Nature with
Religious Improvements. BY Cotton Mather D. D.
and Fellow OF the Royal Society" 1t was printed in
172l It is a popular compendium of astronomy
physics, geology. zoology, physiology, anatomy and
psychology as they existed in his day.
While the modern reader. looking the old
book is most likely to be halted by what amusing
mistakes in the light of modern knowledge, the
Smithsonian authorities who have read tbs book
carefully say that Mather right more often than
he was wrong.
In this connection it is perhaps we'll to point out
that Mather has suffered unfairly in the matter of
reputation Historians now agree that it can not be
shown that he inspired the witchcraft trials
1t is known that he had interest in witchcraft
and investigated number of alleged cases. But it
is also fact that he warned the judges CT their
conduct in the Salem trials and that he was con-
WINGED that some Of the victims were unjuStiy SEN
fenced.

First Reference to Sun Spots

MATTERS book contains the first reference in
1V4 the literature Of the new world to sun spots
His descriptions the Smithsonian scientists saw are
remarkably accurate and ne appears to have been on
the verge of recognizing something like a sun spot
cycle
Upon the convexity of the sum-" he wrote. there
are observed black spots which are movable and
changeable These move regularly toward the west
and finish their revolution in about five and twenty
days; and so testify unto us that the sun turns on
Its own center and the axis Of the motion incining
to the eclptc.
These 'maculae solares' are probably evapora-
lions which arise from the body of the SUM- some
what as vapors do from The earth, and they form
themselves into clouds That which adds to this
probability is that the spots always changing in
their bulk and form and configuration.
sometimes their number is greater and some
times lesser; sometimes there are none at ALL Some
OF them shine and others that shone become dark
Dllgent astronomers who have waited on them for
nine or ten years together have never found them
IN al this time to return to the same combinations
In Charlemagne's time every one saw spot in
thls great luminery And there have been divers
days together as in the year 1547 wherein the sun
mas appeared little brighter than the moon in her
tota! eclipse and the stars have been visible at

TACK was born in New York,
- but he has indianapolis to
thank for his name, and every
time he explains that his name
is not John, but plain Jack, he
has to dig into history.
When his father, Roy w. How
ard, spent his boyhood in Indian
apolis his nickname was Jack"
So when the stork dropped a boy
in on the Roy w. Towards on
Aug. 81, 1910, the name became
Jack in memory Of the Indian
apolis days.
Although the usual number of
visiting ladies discovered that
Jack resembled his father strong
ly, an equal amount found that
he also resembled his mother.
Competent witnesses, however,
testify that Jack bears more than
slight resemblance to the male
side of his parentage.
Il remember" says Jack, "horse
cars in New York way downtown;
motoring in high, brass-bound
gasoline chariots, the tires Of
which exploded frequently, and
required fourteen men to change;
the gentle Spanish padre who
lived in the same apartment
house, and hours spent in the
United Press offices in the old
World building, drawing pictures
on copy paper with thick, black
copy pencils"
Jack moved to Larchmont, N.
Y, in 1915, and stayed there I'M
til 1913. when he went to Los
Angeles. In the far west, young
Mr.. Howard first felt the strong
arm Of the law.
His crime was emptying the
content Of water pistol into the
faces Of passing motorists, women
preferred. Miraculously, Jack man
aged to escape arrest and a long
period in prison.

TACK moved back to New York
y in the winter of 1918 and
when an attack of influenza laid
both Jack and his father low, the
pair made a three months trip to
South America. They voyaged
down the west coast, over the An
DIES, from the east coast to Europe
and from Europe home.
Jack remembers that trip well.

Your Health
nv DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN.

THE proteins you take in various foods are I'M
IL portant for the growth Of your body and for
keeping it in repair. AT time all proteinS were
considered nearly alike. but now we know that those
found in meat, eggs. milk. fish. and cheese are OF
the most Importance for these purposes. Vegetable
proteins are less important.
There are various ways in which your body may
receive its protein but in some parts of the world,
little choice exists. For instance, Eskinos live en-
tirely on animal foods Vegetables and grasses are
not available
The Eskimos get their protein and their fats from
the meat of the seal and from the blubber.
Yet Eskimos are healthy and do not seem to
develop any special diseases because OF their diet
of flesh. incidentally they do not seem to be
bothered by changes in the blood vessels Kidneys
or govt to the extent that civilized man develops
these disorders
TN contrast to the diet of the Eskimos the food
of a West African tribe. which lives wholly on
-four made from ripe bananas and on fresh bananas.
This one fruit gives them every requisite. and
II the bananas are quite ripe they contain sufficient
amnoacids to give the proteinS good value for
growth and repair.
Incidentally babies in both the Eskimo and in
the West African tribe nursed by their mothers
Artificial feeding is not practical for these people
With the exception Of this banana diet" says
one authority. no other vegetarian diet provides
proteins Of good enough biological value. To every
other vegetarian diet. milk and eggs must be
added.
TN other savage groups. growth and full vigor can
L be maintained on milk The Nasal live on milk
and blood and their warriors develop good size and
strength. -
In general the biological values OF proteins are
IN the following order: First milk and then meat
Among the meats kidney is first, then liver, and
then muscle.
The cereal products are useful but. OF course not
erng1tr or1d r1nef
@ore must be supplemented with milk meat.
Prom the point Of view Of cost, milk is cheaper
for the protein it provides than meat Cheese espe-
-caIly Is cheaper.

1t Is the Wrong Theory

TT is more rational, perhaps, to let thugs and
thieves take what they want, but America never
could have been settled the United States estab-
lished, on that theory.
Nor can the question be decided by trying to fig
out whether a truck load of cigarets is worth a
mans life.
There principles which it is impossible to
appraise in terms of money explain by any known
mathematical formula. They exercise a profound
influence socety's ability to maintain peace and
order.
The Russians, for instance do not measure the
seriousness of sabotage by the value of what was
destroyed. 1t is the principle that worries them.
1t the principle that worried our forefathers
with reference to the stamp act tax on tea They
could have paid, but what would the theory have
cost had they not resisted it?
This truck driver stood for something around
which it is possible to create healthy social cond-
tons. The gangsters who assailed him did not.

Opposed to Superstition

A MOTHER fact. not generally appreciated about
Mather. is that he urged nnoculation for small
pox in 1712 The Smithsonian authorities say Of
him that che an earnest seeker after truth and
had little patience with the purely superstltous or
fanciful"
His book shows that he had a relatively accurate
idea of the immensities of the universe.
After stating that "the learned Huygens has
suspicion that every star may be to other
worlds in their several vortices" he goes on to say
that "the distance of the nearest fixed stars is at
least 2404520 $4,000 miles, which is so great that
a cannon ball, going all The way with the same We
locty it has when it parts from the mouth of the
gun, would arrive there in 100000 years
Great God, what is Thy immensity?"
Go not know where Mather got his figure for
the distance to the nearest stars. The figure is
specific to extent that leads to believe that it
was the result of some rather involved calculation
But the interesting thing about it is that 1t is of
the right order OF magnitude being a figure in the
trillions. 1t is, however, than ten times too
small the distance to the nearest star being approx
mately twenty-five trllion miles.
But let us not forget that the distance to the
nearest star was not measured until the beginning
of the nineteenth century-in 1889 to be exact-and
that true appreciation of the size of the galaxy
did not come until the beginning of the present CEN
tury.

Battles We're for Ideals

A S Woodrow Wilson said, there comes
n time when you've simply got to fight even
though the chance Of winning may look slim and
even though you couldn't prove that winning was
worth the risk in material value
Most of our truly constructive battles waged
for ideals not possessions and best loved heroes
are those who sacrificed their lives for the sake OF
principle
Modernism may have produced philosophy that
seems safe for the moment, but can it survive the
ages?
1t is intriguing to dream that we have reached
point where resistance and risk unnecessary,
where conduct is right if it pays and where we can
afford to determine what ought to be done in given
situation by merely asking ourselves whether 1t
profit loss.
1t is comforting to imagine that we have nothing
to worry about far crime is concerned, after
we have hired so many cops and elected many
sheriffs But unhappily it doesn't work out that
way You just can't make government so strong
that the ordinary citizen doesn't have to do his bit
or that the crowd can stand back and laugh while
policemen dosthe fighting

M. Z. Tracy Says

4 TRUCK DRIVER was shot to death in New
- York the other day. He had load Of
cigarets valued at $4,000. When a gang of thugs
told him to scram and leave it for them he put I'D
a fight I have heard at least dozen people say
that this was foolish. He didn't have a dogs
chance, in their opinion and should have known
better than to throw away his life
Possibly he would have come to the same con-
clusion had he been given time enough to psyche
analyze himself. AS it was, he had to act on i'm
pulse
Impulse is largely matter of emotional train
ing. In one way or another, this truck driver had
acquired the BELIEF that was his duty to look after
whatever was put in his charge. Such belief was
quite popular with our fathers and grandfathers
Quite a few Of themawent down with their ships for
no better reason than to set the right kind Of cx-
ample.

Jack is very fond of dogs and
he is a fishing and hunting dew

little else in the way of classical
music.
His favorite authors are Conrad,
Somerset Vaughan, John Gals
worthy, j. B. Priestly, Ernest
Hemingway, Aldous Huxley, Toll

He likes the theater, but goes to
few movies.
And he confesses to two am
