ENGLISH’S FILM
SEASON TO OPEN
WITH DANCER
Mae Murray First on Summer
Bill, and Regular Movies
Are Good, Too.
CONSTANCE AT CIRCLE
ENGLISH’S becomes a picture
house Sunday.
Arrangements have been made for
the showing of Paramount-Artcraft
pictures during the summer.
In the fall this playhouse will, as
usual, present the flesh actors in
stead of their shadows.
Mae Murray will have the honor of
starting the picture season at English's
in “On With the Dance."
The plan Is to present these big fea
tures for a run instead of a week or a
few days.
It looks as if Indianapolis is large
enough to stand and support a picture
for two or three weeks, and possibly
four, depending, of course, on the nature
of ihe movie.
Next week will also witness a big ar
ray of first-class pictures at the regular
movie houses, with Constance Talmadge
at tbe Circle, WiUiam Farnum at the
Ohio, Enid Bennett at the Alhambra and
Nazlmova at tbe Colonial.
-I- -1-
CON'STAXCE TALMADGE.
Ah, Constance Talmadge is a lotc doc
tor.
That's her role in “The Love Expert."
her latest movie.
As we remember Constance she should
be a wizard at tbe love game. #
Remember how your heart beat at “A
Virtuous Vamp'’ and “A Temperamental
Wife."
While at a fashionable boarding school
for girls in this movie Constance learns
a great truth.
The truth is: “When you are in love
with a man on taking his hand you will
blush; the pulse will beat faster and your
heart will palpitate.
Constance comes home for a vacation
and she tries her advanced love ideas out
on the junior partner of her father and
tbe minister.
When Constance slips her hand into
that of the mlfiister. the minister's felt
no warmer than an income tax blank.
She decides that he is not tbe man for
her.
But when Constance starts up in en ele
vator one day and the arm of Jim Win
throp encircles her in an effort to assist
her. after she had taken a tumble, her
heart starts such a race that all speed
records are broken.
Then she know* that her education at
school has not been wasted.
To tell the rest of the story would
spoil it ail.
Others in the cast are Arnold Lucy.
John Kalliday, Natolie Talmadge. a sister
of Constance, and others.
At the Circle all week.
MAE MI'KRAY.
At one time Mae Murray was a favorite
in Ziegfeld Follies.
She is now in the movies and her lat
est, “On With the Dance.’ opens an in
definite engagement Sunday at English's.
As an immigrant from Russia. Miss
Murray celebrates th first glimpse of
the Statue of Liberty by sfag.ng a wild
dance in the steerage of an ocean liner.
And later as the petted protege of a
millionaire, she flits about in a giy cab
aret as the famous “masked dancer."
As the heroine of the picture, she has
the role of a pleasure-loving girl sud
denly beset with all manner of tempta
tions. failing, and finally redeeming her
self and securing happiness at the end.
David Powell has a leading role and
the company includes Alma Tell, John
Miltern and others.
It is the first of the George Fitz
maurlce productions and was personally
supervised by the noted director.
“LES MISERABLE?."
Victor Hugo years ago wrote a great
book.
He railed It “Les Miserables.”
No matter whether you can pronounce
the name *p not or call it ’ Least Mls
erables." you at least have beard of that
famous story.
It has been found to be excellent raa
terial for a movie and William Fox. who
never passes up a dham-e to obtain a
good story, has pnt It Into tbe movie
with William Farnum as Jean Valjeau,
the convict.
For stealing a loaf of bread to keep his
sister and her children from starving,
Jean Valjean is sentenced to five years
in tbe gailey.
This is supposed to have happened in
France, but it sounds like it might not
have been many miles away.
He escaped in 1815 and his very soul
is hardened against society.
Everybody rhun, him and he finds
food and a bed in tbe home of the bishop.
During the night Jean gets up and
steals the bishop's silver, but is cap
tured.
The French police, called the gen
darms. capture him, but the bishop tells
the officers that he gave Jean the silver.
This prompts Jean to live a better life
and in the years that follow he becomes
very wealthy, but in the end he makes
a great sacrifice.
At the Ohio all week.

-COIIEDV AT SMITH’S.
Bobby Vernon and Helen Darling come
to Mister Smith's Sunday for a week’s
engagement in “Pet
*ticoats and Pants.”
Yes. it is a com
edy full of girls
and ginger.
It is a Christie
movie.
The serious part
a picture showing
Martin Johnson’s
expedition into
the savage lands of
the Solomon islands
and other islands oi
the South seas.
Very little was
known about these
Islands until Martin
and his wife and
camera invaded
BOBBY VERNON, them, took sonic re
markable pictures, which shows that
the modern tendency of women to wear
few clothes must have started In these
islands.
These movies have an educational value
as well as an eirtertaining one.

NAZIMOTA.
Nazimova is seen as a cockney girl in
the limehouse district of London in “The
Heart of a Child,” her latest movie, j
Her name in this movie is Sally, and
her heart is pure gold, although her
talk and manners may not be Puritan.

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL 8. DUFFER.

Men and Jewelry
It has been said by an authority on
man's dress that masculine jewelry all
ought to serve a useful purpose.
The scnrfpin holds the ti* in place, the
chain holds the watch, the links keep the
cuffs together.
However, a ring does nothing and there
is no denying that men of taste do wear
rings.
In this country, and especially among
what we call “hundred-per-cent Ameri
can” young men. dainty, bejtweled rings
are not favorites.
Personally, I do not feel that a dia
mond ring is ever in good taste on a
man's finger.
Signet rings that are especially pop
ulor now, are far more suitable.
For n time the ribbon was usually used
with the watch for evening dress, but a
very fine gold or. platinum chain is now
preferred for evening logs.
The all-platinum sets are especially de
sirable, as they are severe and mannish
in appearance, but they are, of course,
very expensive.
Cuff buttons for evening wear are some
times of smoked pearl, with green gold
or platinum setting.
The loose-link style is used almost en
tire, y for day as well as evening style.
At one time wrist watches for men were
taken as a byword for effeminacy, but
tht fact that the men at the front—who
were most masculine and virile in every
way—took to wrist watehes--and with
very good reason made them more pop
ular for civilians. Copyright. 1920.

Otto Krauss as Ching Fat in “Araby.”
It might be a matter of wonder as to
what a Chinese would be doing In
Mecca, the sacred city of the Moham
medans, but this will be made clear
enough, the Shriners say, when “Araby”
is presented at the Murat theater May

Tho twelve gorgeous scenes of the Ori
ental extravaganza are not confined en
tirely to the land of the Moslems.
One scene is laid in Japan, the entic
ing country of the cherry blossom, and
the woman in which the transitions arc
trade is one of ihe interesting features
of tbe plot of "Araby.”
The time of the seat sale for the show
has been changed to Monday morning.
May 17. at 9 o'clock at the Murat the
ater.
It will be in the charge of John T.

nounced today by officers of the post.

TaST NIGHT’S DREAMS
—WHAT THEY MEAN—
Did you dream about pits?
This refers to dreams of an ordinary
pit or bole in tbe ground, these having
quite a different meaning from mine
pits, already discussed.
If you dream you are climbing out of
a pit it Ls an omen that you will have
many enemies and your road to success
will have many obstacles, but It also
signifies you will confound your enemies,
overcome all Impediments and arrive at
riches and social standing of an endur
ing sort.
The less trouble you have in climbing
out of the pit the easier will you over
rome enemies and obstacles to success
For the unmarried this dream fore
tells an advantageous and happy r>ar
riage
For some reason the mystics account
it a dream especially applicable to those
who go down to the sea In ships
To the sailor, they say. It ls an omen
that be will suffer shipwreck and be
cast upon a foreign shore, but that he
wilt be hospitably received, marry a rich
and handsome woman, settle down for
tbe rest of hts ltf© on land and live
happy to the end of hts days.
To dream of falling into a pit, how
ever, Is a bad omen for anyone unless
he at once begins to climb out.—Copy
rtgbt, 1920.
