By GRACE HITCHING!*.
The Indianapolis Caledonian club cele
brated the one hundred and sixty-first
anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns
with a Scottish-concert last night, given
at the Metropolitan School of Music.
The numbers were all Scotch airs and
Scotch poems and were given by mem
bers of the club assisted by some of the
city's best musical talent.
A bust of Robert Burns, modeled by
William Collins, president of the Cale
donian club, was presented to the club
by Mr. Collins at the eelt-brntion. The
bust was unveiled by Miss Jeanne An
derson and David Kirk.
The opening number of the program
was a medley of Scotch airs, given by
the Bl*coin Hotel Trio, Mrs. <5. B. Jack
son, violinist; Miss Yuba Willbite, cell
ist, and Mrs. S. K. Ruick. pianist. This
popular trio played in their customary
artistic and pleasing manner, after which
Alexander Hamilton made a short talk,
paying tribute to Burns.
Miss Florence Parkin, soprano, sang
the first solo bf the program. Miss
Patkln IS a young singer of much prom
ise. Her prograrae number was “Within
a Mile of Edinburgh Town” (D’Uffrey),
and for an encore she gave the ever
popular “My Laddie,” singing both songs
with beautiful purity of tone and a sim
plicity of style vcell suited to the num
bers.
Mrs. Glenn o.' Friermood gave as her
aolo “I’m A’Wearyin’ Awa', Jdan.” sing
ing with the warm coloring and splen
did interpretation for-which she Is noted.
Mr. George Kadel’s singing of “Bonny
We# Thing” iflums) was one of the ar
tistic bits of the evening. The sym
pathetic quality of bis voice was well
suited to the number. His mezzo voce
tones were especially good.
Dwight Murphy contributed the solo,
“Scots, Who Hae Wie Wallace Bled”
(Burns), giving it with great dramatic
appeal and beautiful tone coloring.
Miss Minnie Arthur gave a clever little
singing act, "Caller Herrin” (Lady
Nairne). Her singing was pleasing, as
were her acting and costuming, making
it one of the most attractive numbers of
the evening.
QI'ARTET FURNISHES
PLKABING NUMBER.
Andrew Smith sang of a Scotch quar
rel, “Git Up and Bar the Door O,” a
bit of comedy that was greatly enjoyed.
Charles Arthur gave a group of Scotch
poems with so much innate humor aud
such excellent brogue that the audience
was loath to let him leave the stage. A
duet by Mrs. Priermood and John M. 1,.
Kerr, “Come Under My Plaiddie”
(Burns), was well acted and sung.
The Caledonian quartet, composed of
George Ivadel, Andrew Smith, Charles
Clary and Dwight Murphy, sang three
numbers, “There Was a Lad Born in
Keel,” “My Hame Is Where,the Heather
Blooms,” “Ye Banks and Braes 0’ Bonnie
Doon” (Burns). These were among the
most attractive and pleasurable numbers
of the evening.
The Lincoln trio played two numbers
beside the opening medley. They were
‘‘lsle of Dreams” (Blauful) and Scotch
airs.
A clever singing act was the trio
‘‘O’ Willie Brew’d a Peck o' Maut”
(Burns), by Messrs. Clary, Kerr and
Smith. The program concluded with the
singing of ‘‘Auld Lang Syne” by the solo
ists and audience.
Mrs. S. K. Ruick played the accompani
ments In her customary satisfactory and
capable manner. The hall was decorated
with British and American flags. On the
stage were flags and a large portrait
each of Rpbert Burns and Sir Walter
Scott.

Playing the role of a fascinating Lon

the Colonial. “Stronger Than Death’” is
one of the most dramatic and entertain

ever appeared. It was adapted for the
screen by Arthur Byrant, who plays
opposite the star, from the novel by I.
A. R. Wylie.

ALHAMBRA.
The high cost of movie-making is il
lustrated by some of the recent purchases
of short stories and plays, made by
Thomas Ince for his new youthful co
stars, Doris May and Douglas Mac Lean,
who are just now being seen at the
Alhambra in “What's Your Husband Do
ing.” Mr. Ince paid George V. Hobart
$15,000 for the screen rights to this film
and for “Twenty-three and One-half
Hours’ Leave” paid Mary Roberts Rine
hart $12,000.

To see pretty Lois Wilson frolic
through the scenes of “Too Much John
son,” the current offering at the Isis,
one would never suspect that she was
once a dignified school “marm” in a
little southern village. Miss Wilson
graduated from the Alabama Normal col
lege at the age of sixteen, put her
hair up for the first time and started
teaching a class of rawboned country
boys of 21 to 25 years age. Miss
Wllßon is leading woman for Bryant
Washburn, who stars in this film.

The daring thought of D. W. Griffith’s
latest picture “The Greatest Question,”
which is showing at the Circle the

mothers, whose boys were killed as a
result of the world war, be answered!;
or will the bereaved motherhood of the
world have offered up Invocations to noth

but a close-up of one family in sad cir

Lew Cody certainly makes “A Beloved

Is seen in the picture by that name,

ENGLISh’S—“SCANDALS OF 1919.”
A Jazz bang musical creation opened
last night at English’s for a week, under
the name of George White’s “Scandal*
of 1919,” and It Is a tinkling and spark
ling piece of musical comedy such as
that which Is rarely found on a local
stage.
This piece begins with a smashing jazz
band, directed by Robert Berne, a shim
mying musical director, who believes in
bringing out all there is In a jazz tune,
and ends with a* immense dance mim-*
ber by George White and some of his
many good dancers. Between these two
points there was a good two hours and
one-half of entertainment that seems to
nevar want to cease. There is something
doing all the time.
George White is to be admired for
more than one accomplishment. He has
produced an awfully good show that
will long be remembered by those who
witnessed the opening performance, and
he knows how to pick good lookers. He
and Flo Ziegfield run a close race in
■their choosing of girls.
Ann Pennington is the same Ann, who
jazzes on and off stago with that same
easy aud graceful action that only Ann
Pennington is possible of doing. Her
knees are still crowded with big, round
dimples and her chestnut hair still hangs
fur below her waist. Her Jazz baby
song and her dances with George White
and those danced alone are all stamped
with the Pennlmrton trade mark.
And when Mr. White gathered, I,on
Holtz Into Ills fold of frivolities, he
-brought forth a scandal mongoj of the
darker type. He appears in black face
aud white gloves and carries on Jiist
as one would imagine from Jile makeup.
He Is one of those men who gets real
“clubby” Wiih tbe audience, and talks
over George White’s affairs In one of
the most comical manners Imaginable.
He gives the observers an entire history
of bis “boss” and other members of the
cast.
Yvette Rugel Is a prlma donna who
does all of Ijer numbers up in an lionest
to-goodness fashion. One of her special
ties is on “A Little Grey Home in the
West." •First it is sung normally, but
the second number brings it out jrfi a
syncopated fashion that is unique. The
third Rnd last of the group is givenrin
operatic time. La Sylpbe dances with
rippling and wavery motions that are
beautiful. She has a couple of numbers
In which she does some aerobatic and
contortionistlc dancing. Ardele Ardsley
has a pleasing voice that the audience
admires, and Bthel Dclmar is a dancer
of remarkable ability. Ona Munson and
Ruth Delmar also sing and dance de
lightfully. Lester Allen Is a funny little
soul, who goes about his work In an easy
manner, but who gets farther on one
push than any one seen here In a long
time. George Blckel and A1 Sexton have,
comical parts that add a great deal to
the show, as do Lowell Drew, Larry
Beck and James Miller.
There are so many things In the piece
that have been obtained by the producer
going out of his way to get original
ideas. There is a ltghtning change from
one scene to the other. A bedroom is
shows a fully furnished bedroom. The
cusing each other of being untrue. This
results in a divorce. The first scene
shows a fully furnished bedroom, the.
next instant a lightning curtain is
pulled across as the actors walk off stage
and as the others come on—the courtroom
is seen. The shimmy shop Is a lively
scene. Everything get jazzy and shiin
my-llke, even to the window forms and
fixtures.
Nothing was overlooked by Mr. White
when he organized this musical revue.
He dealt his cards right and he has been
playing them right ever since. The book
and lyrics are by Arthur Jacks and
George White and the music was written
by Richard Whiting, Herbert Spencer
and A. Gurable. The engagement will
Include a Wednesday and a Saturday
matinee.

MURAT-—“TAKE IT FROM ME.”
With plenty of zip and bang, speed
and dash, “Take It From Me,” the latest
contribution of Joseph M. Gaites to the
national lingerie exhibit, got merrily on
it* way last night at the Murat for a
week’s stay.
A little inside tip: “Take It From Me”
Is one of those modem things, all dance,
song, girls, dash, speed, nifty kickers,
a lovely vamp, rather! foppish men,
oodles of flue duds and enough effer
vescent conversation to make a man of
seventy winters think of spring. There
is one whistley tune, “The Call of the
Cozy Little Home,” which Is a dream,
one of those tantalizing little things of
the modern dancing school.
Landing the big honors Is Alice Hills
ns Ella Abbott, the supreme comic, the
big laugh getter aud the woman who
aids In putting over all the fun that
the others start. Miss Hills is a genu
ine comic and In saner moment puts
over a whale of a tene, called “The
Kisg."
Trailing after her for the laughs are
Fred Hillebrand ns Vernon Van Dyke,

THE ERRAND,
■VT ANCY AND NICK pushed open the funny little door in the ground and
' peeped in. “No wonder they moved away,” sniffed Nancy, looking
at the “To Let” sign. “It smells damp.”
Now the twins had an errand to do, so they shouldn’t have stopped at
the little house at all. But they were curious and —But there! I've begun
at the wrong place. It was this way:
Kip, the little elf who had been helping them to search for Jocko, gave
a party one day and Invited the twins.
“Why, it’s sweet/’ Nick cried, licking off a drop. “I do believe
It's honey.’'
Their kind little green shoes not only made them just the right size
for an elf’s party (about cock chafer size, you know), but took them to
Kip’s home down by the dogwood tree—a very secret place.
''And now I*ll tell you about their errand.
Kip liked to play a game called forfeits tbe worst, I mean the best,
kind of a way. And he was judge and gave all the other little elves things
to do. And they just had to do them.
When he came to Nick, Kip said, “Sugar’s scarce and we need icing
for the cake. You twins go to the beehive and get me some honey.” So
they s just had to go, although Nancy was afraid of the buzzy bees.
On the way to the hive they saw the door and the sign and went in.
“Smells very damp,” said Nancy again, looking down a long hall.
Some big drops splashed off the ceiling, one right on Nick’s nose.
Nick looked up. Another splashed on his chin and he licked it off.
"Why, it’s sweet!” he cried. “I do believe it’s honey.”
“Yes, it is, children,” said the mushroom. “Mr. Bumble lived here
till yesterday. Take all you want and hurry back to the party.”—Copy

him by a rich uncle, but who comes out

is the whole story of the play.
Zoe Barnett, who, If memory does not
fail, followed Valeska Suratt in “The Red
Rose,” is the vamp of the show. She is
a gorgeous creature whether her shouil
ders are bare or covered and has a won
derful pair of eyes.
The dancing numbers of the Gardiner
trio will stand for a long time as the
•best, seen at the Murat in many months,
and the chorus Is young and beautiful.
The engagement continues throughout
the week, closing with a matinee and
night performance Saturday.
H. F. KEITH’S—VAI’DEVILLE.
A more varied bill would be hard to
imagine than the one at B. F. Keith’s
vaudeville theater this week. And there
ne*niingly is hardly a weak spot in the
offering.
“The United States Glee Club,” an ng
gregation of former bluejarkets with
Jerry Swlnford as soloist, is the head
liner. This act was trained at the Hamp
ton Roads station for recruiting service
in the United States navy and how well
Uncle Sam’s song leaders did, is best
judged by the audience. For it would be
hard to get any thirty-two singers to
gether who could bring out the tune
fulness and (he comedy in songs better
than can these boys. The entire twenty
five minutes of the act is thoroughly eu
joyabie.
Walter Brower comes back with his
droll monologue which never grows old.
He has some new stuff In his act, but
the best part of his old tirade about
his marriage and the trials and tribula
tions accompanying his efforts to make
his wife earn the living and to live on
her folks seems ever new.
And it would be hard to find a daintier
singer and one that can wear clothes as
well and yet sink herself into the person
ality of a part better than can Dorothy
Brenner, billed as the “Lady Dainty of
Bongland." Miss Brenner sings three
songs and the audience clamors for more.
Adelaide Herrmann brings to vaude
ville lovers some of the tricks of her
famous husband, who died several years
ago. She produces from a Noah’s ark
contraption a whole barnyard full of
fowls anil finally opening it discloses
a young woman. The tricks are not es
pecially new but “magic” always bps an
appeal.
Lida McMillan end Bert Snow present
a ploaslrig sketch entitled “Contrary";
Fred Berrens has an nnusual act, a com
bination of violin playing, conversation
and a mechanical piano that works mys
teriously, and the Rlnaldo brothers pre
sent “Roman Art.”
The Kinograms weekly and Literary
Digest Topics complete the bill.
-!- -I- -I
LVRIC.
Lottie Mayer and her four diving girls
at the Lyric this week sort of splash
things up with their fancy diving act.
The five performers do backward dives
and jackknife flips with the greatest of
ease and their leaping and forward
springs are graceful.
Lucille and Violetta have an act of
"dressmaking while you wait,” which In
cludes some mighty pretty gowns that
are made before the eyes of the au
dience.
The bill Is opened by Equillo Broth
ers, acrobats, who do, some daring stunts.
The Stanleys give an act of shadows that
entertain the children more than the
grownups. Homer and Dußard have a
clever musical skit that takes place In a
5 and 10-eent store. Myrtle Mason does
a deceptive act. The audience fails to
find Myrtle is <really a man

or n woman. Fred Lewis has a host of
good stories and songs that are enter
taining to say the least, and Winchell
and Green is a team, man and woman,
that get off some chatter and music. The
bill, which is above par, is rouuded out
by a Billy 'West comedy and a news
reel with a couple of animated cartoons.

BROADWAY.
Comedy is found in abundance this
week at the Broadway theater and there
isn’t a weak spot in the bill. The bill
is headed by the Rapid Fire Creol6s, a
company of twelve people and a Creole
chorus. Their songs and dances are
cleverly staged with four sets, among
them being a southern countryside, a
graveyard and scenes along the Mis
sissippi river. Jean Finnlgan is an un
usual dancer who offers his stunts on a
square foot pedestal. The Harvey De
vora trio goes big with the audiences
when they put on “The Dark Town
Cabaret.” Gibson and Betty have a song
and dance act. Denna Cooper and com
pany offer a playlet, “The Confession.”
“Two Pals” tells a story In song form,
and It gets by In good shape. The bill
is rounded out by short subject motion
pictures.
-I- -I- -I
RIALTO.
The headline attraction this week at
the Rialto is "Which, One Shall I Marry,”
a sketch offered by Miss Marvey. It Is
a morality pipy In four scenes, In which
Miss Marvey is seen in dual roles,. This
act is presented In a novel and striking
manner.
Ray Speck Is a "nut” comedian whose
work with Will Bayes in their skit,
“Ravings of 1020,” Is clever. “Side-
Tracked” is a clever comedy offered by
Barnes and Lorraine. It Is full of fun.
The Dancing Roots receive much ap
plause. steps are original and
Miss Lorraine) who is included in the
act, Is a schooled dancer. Rice, Bell and
Baldwin make up a fast and furious trio
of acrobats. The photoplay feature, "The
Web of Chance,” has as its star Peggy
Hyland. The story Is seasoned with
thrills and flavored with plenty of senti
ment. This week's bill is exceptionally
good.
-I* *1- -!-
PARK.
Edmond Hayes’ “Own Show”. is fea
turing the Park theater stage this week,
and in this production he is presenting
a cast that is far better than any that
has been seen at that house in some time.
The “Union Plano Moving” act is of the
sort that keeps the audience in an up
roar from beginning to end, and the
other bits of comedy are out of the ordi
nary when it comes to cleverness. Bozo,
Spike Hennessey’s silent partner, is one
of the most entertaining pantomime ac
tors on the stage. May Lorimer is a live
ly soubret, and Ida Gertie
O’Conner and Louise Pearson do some
unusual acting. The chortts is good to
look upon and the costumes and scenic
effects are new and fresh.

is to enjoy good health. The secret of
good health is chiefly to maintain nor
mal activity of the stomach, bowela,
liver, skin and kidneys.

CONFESSIONS
OF A BRIDE
The "Kat-Tat-Tat” of
machine guns Penetrate
the walls of our prison.
Not much noise from tbe outside world
ever reached the secret prison where I
watched while my husband slept. The
room was almost in the center of the
labyrinth of buildings which made up
the hacienda. But the peculiar Insistent
“rat-tat-tat-tat” of the machine guns was
far-reaching. It penetrated the
walls and aroused in Bob some old mem
ory of his days in France.
“Come pn, boys—” he shouted as he
sprang to his feet.
Then he opened his eyes, saw me, and
explained:
“Machine guns, Jane! I guess the noise
of them will jerk an ex-soldier out of
his grave! I thought I was in the
trenches, -but it’s only Morrison, thank
God! I wonder how many bandits he’s
got in his ‘revolutionary army’ this
time.” ' •
Suddenly the wall and swish of the
machine guns was doubled. Bob whistled
with excitement.
“That means that the Mexicans have
got into action at last. I guess Morrison
gave this hacienda some surprise party,”
he said. “Gosh! How I wish I could
get out of this hole!”
“We’ve already done our bit for Mor
rison,” I exclaimed Joyfully. “I guess I
did a good little job when I set off that'
store of munitions a few Veeks ago even
if I <lld do It in my delirium!”
“Best little job ever! Y’ou made It
possible for Morrison to shoot up this
nest. He had the plan in mind ever since
lie left the case, he told me. But he
couldn’t find an excuse for making an
attack until Spence and Archer were
brought here. And then—he wouldn’t
have dared to tackle tbe proposition as
long as tbe owner of the place had a
fort behind him.
Bob Interrupted himself, at Intervals,
to listen to the rise and fall of the fight
which was going on so near and yet so
far away from us. I had never seen him
so excited in my life. Tbe battle was
for big stakes and he was as helpless as
a woman.
"Do you realize, my dear, that we are
in tho most interesting country in the
world at the present moment? And in
the very heart of Its intrigue? And shut
up—as useless ns kittens?” he stormed.
“You’re making our friend, tbe detec
tive, a man of va3t importance, my
dear,” I said.
“He is! It’s his business to keep the
peace between tbe United States and
Mexico. Some Job. I should say. He
can’t let rash Americans like Spence and
Archer get themselves killed. And It
bakes nerve and money to masquerade
his outfit as a band of half-breed out
law*. ,Say—Jane—where do you suppose
he got his funds from?”
“How should I guess that?” I Inquired
sharply. It seemed so unimportant in
the midst of our anxieties. .
“Up a tree, my dear! He whispered
the tale to me when he made that fruit
less attack, .three days ago. The bag
of money you brought in the airplane
and left suspended between the heavens
and the earth —” /
“Oh la la!” I murmured. “What a
chance! What a chance! Our very live?,
today, depend on the number of Mor
rison's hirelings—and my abandoned
treasure—”
Suddenly the weird spat-spat-spat of
firearms ceased.
Bob was alert; I grew more nervous than
ever. The silence was more ominous than
the noise of the fight. Finally Bob spoke
abruptly:
"The war has ended!”
“Who won it?” T asked, trying to keep
an anxious treroulo out of my voice.
“I’ll bet on Morrison. I'll bet he’s In
command of this hacienda at the present
•moment. If the conspirators who run
this place have lost, you and I will know
—for—sure—lnside of the next five min
utes."

TODAY’S BEAUTY HINT
It i3 not necessary to shampoo
yo\ir hair bo frequently if It is en
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we can
recommend to our readers is one
that brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair and may be enjoyed at
very little expense, by dissolving e,
teaspoonful of canthrox which can
be obtained from any druggist, in a
cup of hot water. This makes a full
cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it
is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just to the top of the head.
This, when rubbed Into the scalp and
onto every strand of hair, chemically
dissolves all impurities. It is very
soothing and cooling in its action;
as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
lather so created, you will find the
scalp is fresh, clean and free from
dandruff, while the hair dries quickly
and evenly, developing a bright lus
ter and a soft fluffiness that makes
it seem very heavy.—Advertisement.
Says Movie Fans
Are Great Shoppers
CINCINNATI, Jan. 27—Do yon know
that there ar* movie “shoppers?”
Well, there a*e—at least, Hilda Canter
says so.
And Hilda ought to know. She occu
pies a movie box office here.
"When people come to the movies they
‘shop’,” said Hilda. “That is, they come
here and stare at the photographs and
posters outside, and then walk away.
After a little, they come back. They
make the rounds of tire pictures and
pick out the one they wantvto spend
their money and time on.”
That she can recognize the movie “fan”
whether he turns into tbe theater or not.
and that she knows the kind of filths
her regular patrons like, are claims made
by Hilda.
She says, also, she knows le
“spooners” and those who enter the
movie theater to rest a while, or kill
time, waiting for an engagement and not
because they like films.
