TREAT FOR HOOSIERS
SPOTLIGHT of the Indianpolis
stage now turns on Booth Tark
ington.
Next week will be a memorable
one, as Tarkington's “Clarence"
comes to English's for a week's en
gagement.
Heading the cast will be an Indi
anapolis favorite. Gregory Kelly.
An Indiana playwright having an Indi
favorite in the leadinz role is a
■< Hkty good indication that nest week
be a gala week at English's.
Kal’eh. an acknowledged en:n-
Rlonal actress, opens nest Tbursdaj
night at the Murat In —•'The Kiddie
Woman."
B. F. Keith's will have as its celebrity
Marie Cahill of musical comedy fame.
Looks like a week of favorites.
CLARENCE.
Booth Tarkington's comedy success,
“Clarence." w hich is still running in New
York, opens Monday night at English s.
We get the Chicago cast with Gregory
Kelly, remembered for his work with the
Stuart Walker players, and his wife.
Ruth Gordon; Robert Adams, Byron
Beaalev, Grace Filklus. Betty Murray,
Clara Blnndick, Joe Wallace. James T.
Ford anJ Guy D'Ennery.
“Clarence." a beetle expert and ento
mologist. listed In "Who's Who." re
turning from the war—as tt was In
Texaa—is taken home by a Mr. Wheeler
to serve as a sort of man about the
house. i
He tunes the piano, repairs a leaky
hot water heater, and so unusually at
tractive is his profile and behavior that
17-year-old Cora, her mother, her gov
erness and the Swedish maid suffer pal
pitations of the heart whenever his foot
steps echo through the house.
Bobby, the 17-year-old son, acted by
Gregory Kelly, of course, frowns on all
this, and, believing himself in love with
the pretty governess (Betty Murray),
takes occasion to voice the boyish sneers
which Tarkington writes so well.
And when Violet, the governess, finally
leaves the Wheeler home, to aid Clarence
as his wife in his courageous fight
against the potato bugs, young Bobby s
tragic outburst provides one of the
theater's real moments.
THE BROAD WAT.
Seven husky youngsters will take part

BKKTHA KALICH.
It ia seldom that an actress of note j
will be found to criticise the American
stage, but Madame Bertha Kalich. who
comes to the Phubert Murat nest week
has the courage to voice her dissatisfac
tion with present conditions in the
theater.
A large share of the responsibility, she
holds, is due to the apathy o f audiences,
who patronize whatever is thrust upon
them.
“I am tired of hearing people Bay that
they go to the theater only to enjoy
themselves." she claims.
How can they find enjoyment in what
is silly, trivial and often degrading?
‘‘As a result of this attitude, we have
no theater in America worth speaking
of; only a few great actors and actresses
struggling to preserve the traditions of
j their art."
i Madame Kalich recommends the estab
lishment of a national repertory theater
of accomplished performers, who will
j produce five or six ploys each season.
