CONFESSIONS
OF A BRIDE
My curiosity leads me
to discover a trap in the
secret room.
Before I should require food, Donna
Camilla would come back, I assured my
self. Water I had in plenty. Doubtless
the chamber was a very ancient hiding
place, probably it was part of the orig
inal structure. Certainly the lovely
wood carving on the walls was hundreds
of years old. But whoever had furnished
the drawing rooms and bedroom suites
with the modern elegance I had seen,
had refitted this secret chamber at the
same time. It has four fountains, one at
each corner it was clean and dustless,
and it was provided with an abundance
of fresh air by some process of ventila
tion which I did not investigate. '
plenty of water and oxygen, a
human being could live forty days and
nights, like Christ in the wilderness, I
had read and it was a comfort to recall
the fact.
I wouldn’t let myself despair even in
the matter of finding the secret spring
which opened the mysterious door. Os
course if it were controlled by pressing
upon a certain leaf or bud of the carved
woodwork,' it would take me a long time
to escape. The quaint buds and blos
soms bloomed much too generously, it
seemed to me. I ran my fingers delicate
ly over the most conspicuous parts of the
lovely wooden tracery. I was desperate
—I must get back to Bob at once. Daddy
would be worried. Chrys would need
me.
"Not a soul in the world knows what
has become of me,” I repeated. Dhddy, if
he guessed, would burn the place down
in order to release me. And Bob? Well
—Bob was my husband. He -was a very
jealous husband. Either he would mourn
me as dead from the start, believing
that only death could keep me away from
hhn—or he might, as many a jealous
husband Is accustomed to do—he might
think the worst of me—he might fancy
that I had run away from him—to Ham
ilton Cartels!
"Ton never can tell," said I to my
self, “just which way jealousy will carry
a manl” Either way, I couldn’t afford
to have my Bob harassed. We had been
separated so many times since our mar
riage that I couldn’t endure the thought
that poor Boh must worry about me.
That seemed even worse than any suffer
ing I might have to endure myself.
With infinite wearying patience I
searched for some magical spring which
should force the door-panel to open. I
hunted particularly for some worn spot
which should betray the repeated pres
*Kmre of human fingers. The idea obsessed
and distressed me. Even the ornamenta
tion of the curiously patterned rug might
hold the secret! There was a hard-worn
spot in the very middle of the rug, my
good eyes told me. The color had been
rubbed off clear down to ithe warp. The
spot intrigued me. I walked over to it,
knelt down by It and smoothed the sur
face with my fingers.
The flagging fell away beneath my
touch! I was suspended on the middle
of the heavy rug, suspended above some
unseen well or stairway, held up by the
very weight of the carpet which clung
to the flagging as securely, as stiffly as
a "board. I threw my body away from
the hollowing surface which rounded
slowly beneath me. Evidently I had
opened a way to some secret chamber be
low the room where I was confined. I
had but to roll back the rug to discover
—perhaps a secret prison—“perhaps the
top of the pit In which they bury the
poor prisoners who go mad and die in
. this weird place,” I told myself.
I I felt along the edges of the square
| hole ,in-the floor beneath the heavy car-
I i hA —then I pushed myself away from
Ujgin horror. When I had rolled a safe
UUstanee, I sat up like a Turk, with my
Kyxis fastened on the shallow bowl which
nad shaped Itself in the middle of the
Hug— with my mind set on discovering
What mysteries were hidden under it.—

WANDERER.”
With enough of its splendor left to
indicate there were reasonable grounds
l for the original enthusiasm, “The
Wanderer” made Its initial Indianapolis
appearance at the Murat last night. This
year’s cast is not as good as when Nance
O’Neil played the lead in this really
powerful Biblical play, but the same
scenic effects are achieved which makes
the entire production one of beauty. The
sheep, used In the first act to lend
atmosphere to the scene, were well be
haved sheep, who appeared to be as well
r acquainted with automobiles of today as
they were with the quaint costumes the
actors used in reproducing scenes of one
thousand'years ago.
It is unnecessary to review the story
of “The Wanderer,” but sufficient to say
that it concerns Jether, son of Jesse and
Huldah, who takes bis portion, leaves
the home of his parents and goes to
Jerusalem where be squanders his for
tune, falls in love with a bad woman, and
then returns home repenant.
The first and last acts showing the
simple home of Jesse, near Hebron, are
well done. It is here that tbe show gets
Ita real strength, and it is here where
the performance is elevated to a high
plane place through the united efforts of
Miss Florence Auer as Huldah, the
mother and by Henry Duggan as Jesse,
the father. Robert Frazer, as Jether, the
wandering eon, intelligently plays the
leading male role.'
But of Miss Florence Auer as the
mother, much can be said, because it is
shej who gives to the first and last acts
therupiritual significance as well as the
worth of the play. Her por-
Brayal of the suffering of the mother
Hvhen the erring son returns home seek
fing forgiveness swept the Mu at audience
off of its feet last night, and she re
appeared time and again in acknowl
edgement of the applause.
The work of Mr. Duggan, as the father,
is not to be overlooked either. The re
mainder of the cast is fair.
The engagement closes with a matinee
and night performance Wednesday,

ENGLISH’S.
Attractive girls, pretty tunes, a few
sparkling dances and artistic settings
make up “La La Lucille," the offering at
English’s for the entire week, with
Wednesday and Saturday matinees. One
could readily compare this show with
several other mueical comedies that have
been here this season. Not In plot, but
in production. It is easily a girl and
song show, as the others have been. It
is one of these pieces that starts out
just a little slowly in the first act, but

GRANDMA'S OWL.
ONE EVENING Nick and Nancy were coming down the lane quite late.
They had been watching Jake do the milking and were on their way
home. They had tucked their magical mushroom and the green shoes
behind the big stone before supper, for they had given up hunting Jocko
for the day.
Yet it was not too late for an adventure.
Something was sitting quite stiff and still on a fence post.* The chil
dren could see quite well, for the great round moon was directly behind it.
“It’s grandma’s owl,” cried Nancy. “How did it get away out here?”
“It’s grandma’s owl,” cried Nancy. “How did it get away out
here?”
Nick took a good look. Nancy was right. It was grandma’s owl, the
one that always sat on her mantel, and when you took its head off. had
spools and scissors and a strawberry for needles, inside.
“I’ll bet Uncle Dick put it there to scare us,” said Nancy.'
“Pooh!” cried Nick. “He must think we’re easily scared. Who’s
afraid of an old stuffed owl?”
The twins came nearer. “See hie-great, stary eyes!” said Nick. “You
can tell they are glass!”
“That’s right!” agreed Nancy. “And you can tell those big, white
circles on his face are just painted, too.”
“And he isn’t the right color,” said Nick, peering hard. “He’s too
dark!”
“And his ears aren’t set on right,” declared Nancy. “They stick up
too far.” *
“And, really, owls don't sit scrunched up like that,” scoffed Nick, "all
in a heap." \
“I could draw a better owl than that with my 'eyes shut,” went on
Nancy. “Let’s give the old thing a poke.”
Suddenly the object on t]je post flapped its wings and flew away to
the Avoods.
“Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!” it called. “Hoot! Hoot!”
And the twins think to this day it was making fun of them.—Copy
right, 1920.
one that speeds up some by the time of
the second rising of the curtain. The
longer it lasts the better it is liked by
the audience.
Sam Hardy plays the role of John
Smith, a dentist. Florence Mackie is seen
as his wife, Lucille, while Jonathan
Jaynes, her father, an rx-Juggler, is por
trayed by J. Clarence Harvey. The plot
concerns Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, who
received word that Smith is'to fall heir
to $2,000,000 providing he obtains a di
vorce. To get the divorce it is necessary
that the proper evidence be brought be
fore the Judge, so things Immediately
happen. Smith take3 a woman to a hotel,
where they register under tbe name of
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. The wife is
supposed to walk in with the attorney
and find them together.
At the appointed hour, M*-s. Smith, ac
companied by her attorney, walk In upon
Mr. Smith, but not with the homely
janitress who started out with him 1u
the bargain, but a beautiful young girt.
Confusing things had happened in the
meantime, and not until the ending of
the performarsi is v everything made
right. Stanley Warner and Marguerite
McNulty play the parts of Mr. and Mrs.
Britton Hughes, who are on their honey
moon, and who have adjoining rooms to
the bridal suite, where the John Smith’s
little party was staged. Their playing of
the-parts of the newly married couple is
delightful. They are young and fresh
looking, and their loving chatter Is
pleasing.
Eleanor Daniels is the janitress. She
looks as though she had just been
brought in from cleaning some hall.
Marjorie Bentley is a dainty little dan
cer, who pleases her audience immensely.
Her dances with John Lowe are clever.
Others in the cast of principals are
Harry Stanley, a Japanese butler: Tom
Collins, an attorney, and Charles .T.
ClLne, Cordelia MacDonald, Alfred Hall,
Frank Devlin and Nelson Riley.

B. F. KEITH’S—VAUDEVILLE.
Three persons suffering from aphasia—
loss of memory—brought together in a
hotel room in a rather unconventional
manner provide the basis for a very
amusing playlet in “Married,” the head
liner at B. F. Keith’s vaudeville theater
this week. The sketch deals with a
beautiful young girl, who, owing to a
bad fall, suffers loss of memory and
disappears for ten days. She wanders
into a strange hotel room Just as a
•burglar is robbing thfe place. She grap
ples with him" and is struck on the
head. Her memory returns and after a
telephone conference with her physician
she goes to bed. Then in comes a man
who has lost his memory for three days
owing to familiarity with John Barley
corn. Complications ensue, neither know
ing what they have done, and finally
coming to the conclusion that they have
married during the blank interval. But
all Is cleared just as the man discovers
the burglar and in a struggle takes his
billy and strikes him on the head. This
restores the burglar’s memory and it de
velops that he G a fashionable minister.
Yods can guess the rest. Miss Mar
guerite Keller. 1 takes the part of the
young womar. and is altogether charm
ing in the part which requires that she
be dressed in negligee most of the time.
Homer Mason makes the most of his
lines.
Indianapolis audiences have a remark
able way of reacting to quartets and
this week the Keith bill has one that is
well worth the storm of wpplause that
greets it. The “QuixTey Four” furnish
as good harmony as hag been heard oa
a local stage in many moons and beside !
they are masters of the banjo and piano.
“When Caesar C’s Her” is a bit of
burlesque furnished by James and Sadie
Leonard and Richard Anderson. The
skit is full of laughs but the lines are
a bit broad and uproarious.
Clark and Verdi flkesent an Italian dia
lect turn that is old bfft ever good.
Lillian Hernlein, assisted by Earl
Thurstensen, at the piano, presents a
succession of bewildering gowns and a
number of popular songs. Dan Stanley
and A1 Birnes return with their usual
dancing act. "Charles Henry’s Pets"
open the bill with a series of poses and
Lillian and Twins close with a novel
gymnastic The usual cinema fea
tures are shown.
-I- -hr-
LYRIC.
The Virginia Belles head the Lyric’s
good vaudeville bill this week. They
are seven accomplished girls who give
Just the music one wants to hear. Their
work in ensemble and iu solo is very
good. Harry Tsuda does some marvelous
feats while perched on a chair atop a
huge ball high in the air. Clark and La
vere keep the audience In an uproar as
do Clayton and Lennie. Arthur Devoy
and company offer, a playlet brimming
over with refreshiug comedy. William
and Taylor are comedians wPb a full
line of laughs. Follis and Leroy present
droll songs and dances and Art Smith
does an act by himself that Is worthy
of mention. The bill which is pretty
good, is completed by a Fox comedy,
“Roaring Bath Tubs” and a news reel.
-I- -|- -!-
BROADWAY.
This week's offering at the Broadway
theater is unusually good. It includes
some acts absofutely-jiew to local vaude
ville patrons. Leigh DeLacey in "Ousv
Husbands,” is the opening act. It is a
comical skit that keeps the audience in
a continuous uproar. Curtis and Curtis
have a clever presentation of something
new in the cartoon line. Willing and
llentley are well received. “At tht> Reach”
is the title of a sketch given by Walsh
and Austin, The Borgozzo Brothers are
peppery musicians. Lawrence Johnston
Is offering an act that includes a dummy:
The Gabbetta are novelty entertainers
who have a surprise in sloro for those
who witness the show. Another act wor
thy of much mention is “Twenty-five
Minutes of Fun.” This completes the bill.
•I- -I- -I
RXALTO.
The feature film at the Rialto this
week is “Flames of Flesh,” with Gladys
Brockwell irr the leading role. The story
of the picture tells of a soul In agony,
and of the temptations fairly flung in
front of it. Strange tilings happen mak
ing the film one of the most entertaining
that has been seen at that theater for
some time. The vaudeville bill is headed
by “Tears,” a comedy playlet presented
by Berniece La Barr and company. Tay
lor anti Curtis aqd Fairman and Patrick
offer the audience rare bits of comedy.
Herlindas n£g whirlwind acrobats who
do some hair-raising stunts. Courtney and
Jeanette are eccentric dancers far above
par. The bill is far above the average
offering at this theater.
-i- -i- -i-
FARK—EXTRAVAGANZA.
A clever musical extravaganza is be
ing offered this week at the Park under
the title of “Tbe Big Review.” it in
cludes a largs chorus of good looking
girls and the scenery and costumes ore
unusual in appearance. Harry LeVan
easily carries off the honor as a come
dian. His songs and his specialty piano
number are good. He Is assisted In
the piano act by Clarie Devine. Others
In the cast of principals are Bill Colton,
James Darrow, Lettie Bolles, Bob Gil
bert, Robert Corte, Teddy Warden and
Greeta Shelly.
