WORKER PLEADS
ARMENIAN CAUSE
Urges G. A. R. Auxiliaries to
Lend Assistance.
An appeal for assistance for Armenians
Is being made before tbe encampments of
organisations affiliated with the G. A. R.
by Miss Elisabeth B. Kelly of Cleveland,
who returned to the United States last
iJuly after a year's work in Alntab, Tur
nkey, a little town eighty miles from
Aleppo, and forty miles from a railroad.
"The Armenian nation Is worth sav
ing.” declared Miss Kelly in an Interview
at the Hotel Severin. "They have fought
valiantly for their freedom; they are
fighting and they will continue to fight
as long as they have any survivors.
“America Is morally responsible for the
300,000 Armenian orphans whiuh she has
adopted— responsible to rear them accord
ing to Western civilization."
Miss Kelly, who Is touring the United
States in behalf of the Armenian cause,
expects to return to Turkey in about six
months.
Prior to her trip to Turkey for recon
struction work she was engaged in war
work in America, and for a number of
years was an instructor In home econo
mics at Wisconsin University.
In telling of her experiences in Turkey
Miss Kelly said when she arrived at Ain
tab in July, 1919, the signs of starvation
were evident among all the women and
many of them were all but destitute of
clothing.
“The shops had been closed and all
business had stopped," she said.
“We hunted out looms and started
weaving cloth for them from the Ameri
can cotton. In this way we taught them
ail some industrial trade and supplied
them with clothing."
Miss Kelly said the suffering of the
Armenians who returned from the
Arabian desert to find their homes de
molished was one of the most pitiful
sights she ever witnessed.
BRITISH KEPT
THINGS QUIET.
“While the British were there thin-’-*
were quiet." she said, "but when the
French came the Turks began to feel
that they should not take their part of
the punishment and propaganda was
started among the Armenians.
“Naturally things went from had to
worse; they refused to sell food; they
began wounding and massacring; the
shops were closed."
At that time two T. M. C. A. men
were killed. Miss Kelly said, with the
explanation that they had been mis
taken for French men.
There was no Bolshevism in that sec
tion of Turkey, according to Miss Kelly.
"The Turks despised Germany and
blamed her entirely for getting them into
the war," she explained.
“While the Turks have always been
barbarously crued, all the cunning cruel
ty which they showed during the war was
Instigated at Berlin.”
During the period Mies Kelly was in
Alntab the great deportation of Armeni
ans took place in which more than one
million were killed or died.
“From the middle of January until
March 27 we were virtually isolated from
the outside world, and while we were
safe within the city it was not safe to
venture out. All the supply trains were
robbed."
The return of the French and the suc
ceeding massacre which fortunately came
off too early falling in its slaughterous
Intentions, were described by Miss Kelly.
“From that time on the Turks began
firing on the hospitals, and had it not
been for the work of the Armenian wom
en filling sandbags and building bar
ricades we never could have withstood
them during the siege,” said Miss Keliy.
KAYS MASSACRE
BOUND TO COME.
Miss Kelly emphasized the fact that
an uprising led by Envir Pasha for the
general massacre of the Armenian people
13 almost Inevitable.
In discussing the work accomplished
among the Armenian women Miss Kelly
•aid that out of the 750 women rescued
from the Turks only 22 returned and
all of these had children they wished
to care for.
“We found homes for all but 350 of
these women, and every one of these was
taught a trade so she would not be com
pelled to go back to the Turks.”
Miss Kelly said If people coaid see what
had been done for the Armenian women
they would realize that every dollar they
gave had been paid back a hundredfold.
In discussing the Turkish customs she
said that In the part of Turkey where
she was a man was allowed to have only
four wives.
“The word ‘harem’ means place of busi
ness and that is the way marriage is
looked upon by the Turkish man," she
said, “and the woman has nothing tc say
regarding the man *she marries.”
Miss Kelly said that the Armenian
woman is much more intelligent and in
dustrious than the Turkish woman and
much better looking, and that the Turkish
women are jealous of them.
"Many times we would be lnfprmfed
that there was an Armenian woman in
the house by the Turkish women,” she
continued.
"The only thing in the life of the
Turkish wife is the man. and that is all
they discuss, and their life is absolutely
repulsive." said Misa Kelly, “and the
younger Turkligh woman is getting tired
of it.’
According to Miss Kelly the high cost
of living In Turkey is affecting Mr. Turk
because be, in many cases, takes only one
•wife instead of his alloted four.
The Turks are very anxious to learn
about American customs and get Amer
ican opinions on domestic subjects, ac
cording to Miss Kelly.

DYE YOUR HAIR RED AND BE A VERY GAY VILLAGER
Hundred Per Cent Vaudeville at Keilk’s—Musical Act at Lyric
One sees some unusual things In the
Greenwich Village Follies which Is now
on its colorful way at the Murat.
Where one expects clothes, he' hoes
not find rainment,' politely speaking, and
where one expects black hair on the
| ■ dome of a villager,
£* —>, (2 h finds a rich red
,/ crop. The funniest
1 // [3 ■ '‘woman” of the
\ village Is Mr.
J * meß Watts and
_ x.jl | before all the scan
i }■ | dal Is “dished out”
C | I* I by Al Herman, Al
*- ~3tm.fi! —H I§g j e ts it, be known
Art. that he “dresses”
; with Jimmy. _
James Watts is today the most polite
i and at the same time the boldest trav
| esty artist on the stage and it is this
• man either burlesquing the dainty Pav
j lowa or singing the role of Marguerite
:in “Faust,” who strikes that note of
nearly perfect fooling.
If Watts would not object. we would
like to call his work “divine fooling”
because his work today stands heads
and shoulders over his many imitators
in travesty.
/ There are times that he comes very
near the edge of burlesque but he man
ages to jerk the character back into the
! realm of pure travesty.
When cavorting around the stage in a
lily white ballet skirt, similar to those
worn by so-called classical dancers.
Watts probably accomplishes his best
work.
Polled up in a sort of a Valeska Su
ratt makeup. Watts admits that he has
been studying voice with Madame Tel
lum in Paris and will warble the Bull
song from the opera “Lick Me.”
It. may all seem silly to the man who
sees no art In the shimmy or melody in
jazz, but to “we vil
lagers." well, we
about got ready to
dye our hair and
shave off our eye
brows last night.
This Greenwich
Follies certainly
does make one feel
careless, but Watts;
Herman, Ted Lewis
Music.
and the other Follies become as careless
and even present yon with a little ham
mer to do your knocking.
There will be a lot of people carrying :
hammers around with them this week
and they will not knock the Follies,
either, they will probably use ’em to
crack the Ice for the Ice tea.
One’s education is not complete until
you have heard Ted Lewis nnd his jazz
band, which includes a trombone player
who makes bis Instrument sigh and
laugh.
The other Jazz players on the stage
today aro still In their A. B. C.s com
pared to the way Lewis and his players
soften the Jazz, making it melodious,
reckless and even wild with restraint.
So many Jasz bands run away with
themselves, but not so with Lewis and
his assistants, because they soften the
brass, bring out the groans, the shimmy
sighs and cries, until you have jazz in
its true form, not as a noisy eruption
of crashes.
Lewis was so successful last night that
he transformed many an Indianapolis
citizen into a Greenwich Villager at
heart.
Al Herman gets very confidential and
occasionally nearly Invites the services of
the censor, but when you are in the vil
lage be a villager.
The Greenwich Village Follies has ac
complished one thing—the song has been
pictoriallv developed better in this show
than In many attractions claiming to be
as odd.
A few of the best song numbers are
“The Stolen Melody,” “The Message of
the Cameo.” beautifully presented: “I'm
Just a Lone Vampire,’- and “The Critic s
Blues, ’ during which the hammers are
passed and the audience Invited to
knock.
Among those giving competent, services
are Miss Verna Gordon, who appears In
two smart and well presented dances;
M arner Gault, Miss Mabelle Jauney, Miss
Irene Olsen, Thomas Hickey and his
brother, and many others. In addition to
a good looking chorus which appears In
many stunning gowns with much of the
dress goods being confined to the trains.
If you like lemon in your tea, you will
like the Greenwich Follies because it is
the prohibition highball of the stage.
At the Murat all week.—W. D. H.

I WEALTH OF ENTERTAINMENT
AT B. F. KEITH’S THESE DAYS.
Kver hunt for a needle In a hnystaek?
That Is the task which la before your
reviewer in considering this week’s bill
at B. F. Keith’s, because every act blends
into a complete vaudeville program of
nearly 100 per cent entertainment.
As hunting a needle In a haystack,
it Is very difficult for me to choose the
best act, and as you are your own
critic I will be my own and name the
i acts In order as they appealed to me.
In selecting Arthur Wanzer and May
belle Palmer in “She’s Hard to Get
Alcng With" for my first choice out
of this bill of real vaudeville, I would !
have done the same if Eva Tanguay |
or others of the big lights wet s on the i
bill.
Every time this couple, exponents of
the highest grade of conversational chat
ter on the stage today, are on a bill ,
the writer yields to their matchless fun i
and delivery and hand them the first
prize.
Here is finished repartee In addition '
to Wanzer’s loud working day charac. :
ter, really a gem.
Their act Is not materially changed
from other seasons except where a few
more gems have been added.
Indianapolis has waited a long time
to see and hear ‘‘The Viol-Inn’’ with
Billy Abbott, and In mentioning this
act here no way reflects on the head
line ability of this act.
| Abbott is surrounded with a cast in
! eluding a number of prettty violinists,
j several satisfactory demonstrators of the
dances of yesterdffy and today and some
melodies which are hard to beat.
This act la refined, beautifully staged
and intelligently directed, with emphasis
on the modern jazz tendency.
Abbott knows bow to sing and be has
a splendid stage appearance, and Benny
Barton Is a speedy dancer and a satis-,
factory violinist.
Our esteem now turns to .Tane Dillon,
] who impersonates eight different char
| aeterg in a courtroom playlet called i
i “The Frameup.” *
Her ability to appear as a male char- I
j acter and then shift to a tearful woman !
| stamps this actress of generous talent.
It's the personality of James Burke I
and the appearance of Eleanor Durkin
which makes this team go over to such
big applause.
Burke's Impression of Bert Williams
singing out the advice that' nobody can
shake a shimmy after drinking tea. Is one
of the hits of the bill.
An unmistakable hit was made by the
Four Singing Ushers, a good-looking and
refined singing offering.
Eva Shirley, assisted by Fid Gordon's
musical boys, and A1 Roth, a nimble
jazz dancer, closes the show to ap
plause.
The show opens with Ollie Young and
April blowing bubbles, which is inter
esting and away from the beaten paths
of vaudeville.
In other words, we like every act on
the bill. W. D. H.
MINSTRELS OPENS FRIDAY
NIGHT AT ENGLISH’S. -
With elaborate and costly first part
setting, the Nell O’Brien Minstrels will
be seen at English's B’rlday and Satur
day of this week.
The organization is now on ita ninth
annual tour and Manager Oscar F. Hodge
promises an entire new show throughout,
with all new acts, fun and features.
The minstrel stage knows no better
producer than Nell O'Brien and the
show he offers this year is promised
to maintain the high standard estab
lished by this minstrel producer.

CO-EDS WEAK HOOP-SKIKTS IN
MI'SIC AX COMEDY AT XYRIC.
The days when maidens wore hoop
skirts are recalled when the girls, in a
little musical comedy affair, “The Fresh
man,” appear in such modest attire.
The girls, who are called co eds in this
boiled down musical comedy, make a
pleasing appearance in this old-fash
ioned attire and. gives one the impres
sion that the men did not stand on the
street corners in the good old days.
The skit runs to songs and some fairly
good dancing. Jbotb by the chorua ana
the principals.
The Vanderkoors appear to use the
formula, “kill ’em quick," because they
start their fun off at a rapid pace and
keep going until the last minute.
The main event of this noisy act is
called “Felix, the Mind-Reading Duck,”
and Judging by the way this act got over
when we saw the show, Felix is quite a
cure for the blues.
Hunter and Adams engage in a lengthy
conversation regarding 'husbands and
during the conversation the woman mem
ber of the team yodels pleasantly.
When we saw the show the baggage
roan or someone was unkind to the mem
bers of the Bower of Melody act because
they were compelled to appear in their
street clothes.
This in no way hindered the act in
demonstrating that they are capble In
strumentalists who do not have to rely
upon noise to* put the offering oTer.
I am told that their trunks have ar
rived and the members of the team are
happy.
The bill includes Violet and Lewis,
aerialists, and Francis and Fox.
On view at the Lyric all week.

CARPENTERS PAID
BIG DEATH CLAIMS
Convention Hears Report of
National Treasurer.
At today's session of the general con
vention of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America, at
the Athenaeum, Thomas Neale, 'general
treasurer, touched upon the benevolent
system of the organization, and showed
that in four years 13,176 claims had been
approved and paid, representing a total
off 2.230.821.24 for death and disability
donations.
In relation to the benevolent system
the report said :
“During the last four years our death
report shows a very material increase.
FLU EPIDEMICS
BOOSTED LIABILITIES.
“This is due largely to the very seri
ous epidemics of influenza and pneumonia
during the winter of 1918 and 1919.
“Normally our claims will average
about 220 to 250 per month, but during
the month of November, 1918, we passed
favorably on 637 claims, involving an ex
penditure of $100,308.25, and in the month
of December, 1918, we eclipsed all previ
ous records by passing favorably on 660
claims at a cost of $102,608.74.
“Subsequent months showed a gradual
falling off uqttl we reached the normal
stage again in July, 1919. and while the
spring of 1920 brought back the epidemic,
it was in a much milder form and our
death losses materially decreased.
“The IoR.-es sustained by reason of
the World's War were very slight In
comparison to the number of men in
volved. our records showing a total loss
in both deßth and disability of only
192 members."
HEALTHY FINANCIAL
REPORT SUBMITTED.
The report showed the total receipts
of the organization from July 1,191 c,
to June 30, 1920, Including a balance
on hand of $173,620.92, to hav ebeen
$5,917.157.60, and the total disbursements
to have been $5,141,943.28.
The report expressed opposition to the
principle of the Kansas law and the Eseh-
Cummins law, as affecting labor; touched
upon the matter of the “open shop," and
contained a statistical report of the trade
movements sanctioned by the general ex
ecutive board during the period covered
in the report.
It was expected that at this afternoon’s
session reports would be made by some
of the convention committees.
Told Wife He’d Leave
Her; He’s in Hospital
Cecil Williett, negro, 2346 Highland

he was going to leave her. She wields

Mrs. Olive Willet, the wife, escaped.
Police were not notified of the trouble
until four hours after Willet had been

“A Circus Day, in Georgia.” a musical
and dancing sketch, is the headilner on
this week's bill at the Rialto, and 'since
this act is a comedy turn the bill might
rightly be called a laughing bill.
Barny First is on the hill and gives
a program of songs, mingled s with say

The remainder of the bill consists of
Vardell and Sewell, singers; Doris Roach

With better songs, graceful girls and
anew line of “dope” comedy. Jaok
Reid, better known as the “Information

opened a week's engagement at the
Park last night.
“The Record Breakers” differs some
what from the uttigl ran of shows in
that It does not depend of the time
honored slap-stick comedy to furnish
tbe entertainment.
Jacia Held, with his line of talk as the
“Information Kid” U the life of the
show.
No little amount of credit Is due Reid
because of the fact the average come
dian of these shows depends almost ex
clusively upon tumbling around the
stage and slapping hla brother per
former with a board to create a laugh.
Not so with Jack—be makes 'em laaigh
by what he says, not what he does.
Outside of Retd the “Record Break
ers" Is the ordinary show, possibly a
little more finished and with singing
and dancing a little above tbe average.
The cast besides Reid Includes Viola
Elliott Pauline Hall, Joe Perry, Bon
ham Bell, Bert Hall und Tim Healey.
One of tbe features of the offering Is
a barroom scene of the far West In
which tbe Information Kid puts one
over on the* wild and wooly cowboys of

The song hits Include “Melodlonti

SAYS SEXES ARE
TRADING PLACES
Chicago Expert Declares Men
More Effeminate.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—The two sexes are
coming to a point of equalization, in the
opinion of Dr. E. N. Schoolman, psycho
analytic expert, expressed in an Inter-
I view today.
! Men are becoming more effeminate and
women m#4 masculine. Schoolman said.
However, he doubts the possibility of
either sex going to the extreme In adopt
j ing the other's mannerisms.
! “I do not believe women will ever sup
plant man,” he said. “I think the situ
ation will be readjusted some way."
J Schoolman pointed to the Increasing
number of men who are taking positions
I as servants and doing housework as evi
dence of the teudency of men toward
effeminateness.
j “I don't mean to infer that all men who
| do housework are effeminate," he said.
| “There are many men doing it because
:of economic reasons. But there are par
ticular cases where men are doing house
; work to satisfy their craving for things
: effeminate.
"When you put a woman is the posi
tion of a man, she must assume tbe
; characteristic! of a man,” Schoolman
said. “She cannot remain passive, but
must assume an aggressive attitude.”
