LITTLE THEATER
READY FOR PLA YS
Four Interesting One-Act
Shows to Be Staged Friday.
The Little theater’s bill of four new
one-act plays by Indiana authors will be
given at Masonic temple next Friday
night. In variety of theme and handling
and the prevalence of the cheerful note
the plays promise a well-balanced enter
tainment.
Max Ehrman’s satire, “The Bank Rob
bery,” is a playful variation upon his ac
customed didactic gravity, though its fun
Is not devoid of Incidental seriousness as
to strikes.
In “Phoebe Louise,” Prof. Sobel of
Purdue also uses the criminal to point a
moral and adorn a comic tale.
Those Interested In psychical research
and the theory that life Is continuous, will
find In Miss Hlldegarde Planner’s “Man
sions" a dramatic setting forth of the
belief that those passing Into the next
world there continue the Interests and
occupations of this state.
The conflict of pagan and Puritan Ideals
forms the background of the semi-pan
tomlmlc fairy story, “The Dryad and
the Deacon,” by William O. Bates, whose
penchant for h , vtorlc settings here finds
site In a wooded glade of early New
England.

The cast is said to number several
hundred people and at this late day “Ren
Hur” remains one of the sensations of
the stage.
The music for the play was composed
by Edgar Stillman Kelley and is still
one of the Important features.
In addition to its interest as a spec- j
tacle, "Ben, Hur" always carries its own
human appeal, and the dignified way in
which It 1* presented makes this appeal
most effective. •

Confessions of a Bride
KATHERINE’S HOBBY IS MIRRORS
Katherine Miller’s marvelous "regency” j
bed made a glorious background for her
golden beauty. Her hurt ankle did not j
make It necessary for her to stay In
bed, she explained, after she had greeted
Chrys and me, but she rather liked to
lake a little rest cure, once In a while;
she believed that women could get rid
jof half their nervous afflictions simply
| by shutting themselves up in their own
rooms occasionally.
I agreed with her, hut since I had ■
1 come from the common people. I knew
very well that the women who need
that kind of a cure most are the very
ones who think they can not have It.
I poured the ten, because Miss
Miller didn’t core to sit np to do it.
The pretty ceremony Interested me
for once. It gave me nn excuse for
letting Chrys and Katherine do most
of the talking. While they chatted,
I studied Katherine’s surroundings.
They were as unique as her particular
style of beauty, altogether as splen
did as her own lovely person. Every
girl adores an artistic room of her
own. and I was doubly* Interested in
Katherine's, because my little home
needed furnishing up a hit this .
spring. I took notes, mentally, of
the successes nnd the failures In Miss
Miller’s decorative scheme.
The motif was odd enough—lt was
i the circle!
Chrystobel knew all about the mysti
cism connected with that • symbol and
j It seemed to me that (the was rather
' vexed because Katherine had seised upon
It! Chrystobel knew that she herself
ought to have such a "temperamental”
environment, but, of course, she could
never Imitate Katherine’s suite, even
though ehe could Improve upon It!
A round mirror in a narrow black
| frame topped Katherine’s delicately made
j dressing table, and another of much
i larger sire was suspended by silken ropes
| above Jier chest of drawers. The bed
| was a/ wonderful thing, with a round
headboard, hand-carved and French
caned, nnd It was covered with a deli
cately flowered and tinted satin spread
having a shirred flounce which quite
concealed the sides of the bed nnd the
rounded end. The bed looked like an
enlarged and glorified chaise lounge. I
had never seen anything ike it except In
foreign museums.
The table and dresser, the hutch and
the mantle, the shelves and the walls
of the room were cluttered with a treas
ure of rare bottles nnd boxes and vases,
toilet articles and etchings.
1 Katherine’s pride was her collection of
! mirrors. She specialized In round mor
! rors and had spent a fortune In gather
! Ing them together from all parts of the
| world. It was this collection which sug
i gested the circle as the motif of tho
| decorations she explained. Chrys en
j thused vivaciously about the idea, but
I was spiteful, I suppose. Said inyself
to myself:
“Mirrors! How characteristic of a
girl t When she admires one of them,
she admires the reflection of her
self!’’
.Judging from the opulence of her
boudoir, I decided that there wasn’t ,
much restraint In Miss Miller’s na
ture, and because I couldn’t like her,
in spite of Bob’s recent attempt to
make me do so, I Jioped that I had
considerable restraint in my own
make-up.
“This collecting mania must get to
be an awful form of self-indulgence,”

---(B. F. KEITH’S.
Three feminine vaudeville stars head
ns many different offerings on the com
lng bill at B. F. Keith's, with Mabel
McCane, supported by Tom Bryan, Lil
lian Broderick and William Taylor. Miss
McCane presents a series of songs and
dances, with specially constructed scenic
surroundings for each number.
Hermine Shone, with Clarence Sennn
and company of Broadway players, will
offer anew one-act play, "Peggy
O'Brien,” written by Emmet Povey.
The third female feature Is the re
turh of Claudia Coleman, “The Smile

notices include the Bellclatre Brothers.
Internationally famed athletes, and Ed

J thought.. "First, a girl fills up her
own room, then the house, and when
that Is crammed, the superfluous ‘sec
onds’ mast be sent off to a museum!
Little personal pleasure can one hare
In owning a museum, I should think.”
And I was glad that I didn't bare
to buy the things that happened to please
me, Ju. * for the thrill of purchasing
'them, or ju-t because 1 happened to haTe
the money to pay for them.
My little house required some renovat
: Ing, as most homes do erery spring. I
j decided that restraint should be the key
| note of my decorating problems. I would
buy very nice things, but 1 would buy
them sparingly. I would certainly avoid
the Utter and the clutter which, In spite
of Its eloquence, was the dominating and
: the distressing feature of Mis* Miller's
luxurious suite.—Copyright, 1920.

THE BORROWED SHOES.
NOW, of course, the Green Shoes would never have fitted the boar if
they had been—just shoes. But being magical they would have fitted
the elephant himself, I'm sure. If he’d had a mind to wear them.
There sat tho bear with hla toes stuck out, waiting—for Nancy and
Nick were hesitating a little about taking therfi off. What -would happen
If they lost them? They’d never find Jocko, perhaps! But the poor old
bear dlti want his honey so, and ho looked so expectant, they hadn’t the
heart to disappoint him.
"You put yours on his fore feet,” decided Nick, "and I’ll put mine on
the hind," which they did. In a few minutes the bear stood up and
stamped around proudly. |
“Now what shall I do," he asked, "if I want to get little enough to
crawl into a flower?”
"Say, 'Please, Green Shoes, make me little,”’ explained Nancy. Which
the bear did at once.
Suddenly he got so small the twins almost needed a spy-glass to see
him at all. He looked like a wee brown bug crawling along.
%
In another second they saw him, Green Shoes and all, crawling Into
a blossom at the top of the vine.
"Now what shall I do?” he squeaked up at them. '1 can’t fly."
"Wish yourself Inside those flowers up there, if you want honey,” com
manded Nick, pointing to the top of a sweet-smelling vine. “That’s honey
suckle. You’ll get all you want."
The bear must have wished just then, for Instantly he disappeared,
and In another second they saw him, Green Shoes and all, crawling into a
blossom at the top of the vine.
Then the Magical Mushroom stuck his head out of Nancy’s pocket.
"If I were you children I’d get out from under. They say that whatever
goes up must come down, and you never can tell just how or when.” Then
he popped In again.
I'll tell you the rest tomorrow.—Copyright, 1920, N. E. A.

DIRECTORS of movie produc

light next week, as the director in
several productions is as important
as the principal players.
Movie fans are daily becoming
more familiar with the director of
movie plays.
Names among the movie dlreotors
are just as important as the star
player.
Often a director bas made only a
fair story powerful because of master
ful direction. Often the director is re
sponsible for the success of the star.
Many times the star even “kicks out”
the director and then we sometimes
have a dreadful pioture. Too much star.
The names of the directors for next
week movie bills are worth considering.
King Vidor directed "The Family
Honor” to be at the ClrCle all next
week. * _
Allen Holubar, remembered as the di
rector of "The Heart of Humanity,” di

nothing remaining but the unblemished

The play opens with the return of Don

no lees triumphant In the heart of bis
sweet and gentle sister Beverly than

Mr. Ray, of course, ia -Andy, who la in-'
troduced as a bashful salesman for an
auto truck concern.
Even though he copies after Blinker,
the firm’s star salesman, orders come
mighty slow. To' top his troubles ho
falls in the pretty daughter of
his boss. When she goes to a summer
resort Andy gets a vacation, and tags
after her.
Here he encounters by chance a man
who wants to place a large order for
trucks. With the girl as an incentive
Andy gets busy. He palms himself off as
Blinker, and succeeds in landing the big- 1
gest order of his career. Then the real
Blinker appears on the scene. The com

the shoes of his minister brother?
I There is such a situation as the central
! theme of “Other Men's Shoes," the Edgar
I-ewis production, to be at the Ohio all
next week.
Stephen and Jim Browning were twin
brothers so alike in face, form and vole*
that their most intimate friends could
not tell them apart. Both were splendid
men morally, but Stephen, the minister,
was frail of body and meek of spirit and
unable to withstand the buffets of a
greedy and grasping world. Jim had
heeded the call of Wanderlust for twelve
years and had gone to Jail for the crime
; of another.
When the strong brother steps into
