In a pic ture—and Indeed few would be deemed capable of the feat. Elsie Ferguson is one of the few and her artistry goes a long ways toward making “Lady Rose’s Daughter,” which will be shown at the Alhainbra the first half of next week an extraordinary screen drama. The film is a version of tyrs. Humphrey Ward’s noved of the same name. The Scenes are laid in three different epochs, those of 1860. 1830 and 1320. The heroine is Julie I.e Breton, an orphan girl, bom out of wedlock, whose misfortune is constantly brought to her attention. The development of the theme treats with heredity in an interesting and in. telllgent manner, and there are many intensely dramatic scenes in the various situations.

HICKMAN Booking arrangements and the weather are two uncertain things in this city. During this week Indianapolis has housed oio of the largest crowds in it.s 1-istory and for the first four days of the, week English’s was dark and th* Murat was ablaze with The Greenwich Village Follies. v The Murat did not do tha business that the Follies deserved, as this tuneful and well mounted revue, employing the serv ’ces of several splendid fun-makers, stands high In the of entertainment to which It belongs. The weather and the fact* that revues and musical comedies are coming In a bunch at the Murat are taken by the writer to be the cause of the apparent slump at the Murat box olTice this week. Indianapolis is fortunate in getting re vues of the type of the Greenwich Vil-- lage Follies, especially with the cast, and the weather should not have Interfered with the patronagb if people here insist on th* big city shows. Another thing—has confused ths public as “Apple Blossoms” was announced last week for an opening at English's on Oct. 4 and A1 Jolson in “Slnbad” at the Murat on the same date. Patrons evidently began “to save up” for these two big productions. * Both have been pemtponed. • The moral of this little chat Is tw pat ronize high-class entertainment when it D here. The downtown box office of the new ci’. 1c music series of concepts 'has been opened at the Edison Shop. ’ This series is managed Jjj Bradford Mills and Merle Armitage, and opens with Mme. Frances Aida on Oct. 24. Mary Garden will appear, with assisting artists, on Dec. 12, and the course will close on Feb. 20 with a recital by Rudolph Gane. These concerts, which were announced last week, have created a great-Meal of Interest in Indianapolis. \ They will be given on Sunday after noons at the Shubert Murat Theater. Season tickets only are on sale now, and a material reduction Is offered over the single admission prices It has been some years since any of the artists, Garden or Ganz, have apepared In Indianapolis. Alda is today one of the world’s great sopranos, is the wife of Gattl-Casazza of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and sings leading roles with that organiza tion. Mhry Garden Is perhaps die most I unique personality on the concert stage, j tells her that she Is dependent on him for charity. * She has to marry him, he insists, be cause he has “bought her,” Olivia, however, is in love with an other man and the lawyer's disclosures produce a typical modern tragedy. . *!* -I ---AT TUB REGENT William Russell in seen In the role of a boss of a lumberjack camp In “The Man Who Dared." the feature at the Regent next week.

Tbe stoy concerns Mark Bower, a Rudolph Ganz, who is one of the most pqpular pianists that Indianapolis has ever heard, Is now In Europe. He plays one of the first concerts after his return In Indianapolis, and some nov elties never before heard in America will be on his program. -I- -I- -I- Reports of a conflicting nature have reached the city regarding (the reception of Booth Tarkington’s new play In New York City. # / We submit the following report of Dixie Hines of New York on this show: “Poldekin,” a comedy by Booth. Tark lngton, bas George Arllss as the chief character. It is a trenchant preachment against Bolshevism, and a telling tribute to the freedom and Institutions of the United States. ■ It Is not without sentiment and comedy, and Mr. Arllss, as a sort of devil may care beloved vagabond is charmingly whimsical. - , A group of Bolshevists assigned from Russia to come to the United States and sovietlzs this country, bring tbl* soldier of fortune along with them because he Is a printer. They are not highly successful In their efforts, although they work faithfully in the cause. The denouement comes in the last act, when several packages of presumed in cendiary literature are brought to them by the printer ready for distribution. It is the “call to arms.” The rooms are raided at this oppor tune moment and the police, seeking evi dence, unearth the packages, which they proceed to confiscate. They prove to be nothing more harmful than a reprint of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of In dependence, substituted by Poldekin for the Red literaturl. ' There are moments of real charm when Mr. Arllss Is engaged in his recitals of experiences, when visiting Washington seeking the meaning of "American,” when watching the crowds at baseball game, when describing to a blind man New York. They are effective bits and the play deserves a far - greater measure of suc cess than was achieved. Carl Anthony, E. G. Robinson, Sidney Toler and Manart Klppen gave excellent performances among the men, and Julia Dean and Elsie Mackay on the distaff side. One of the most effective performances was that contributed by Mr. Klppea a# a revolutionary lender. millionaire of Europe, who apedallze* In coal mining stock and beautiful women.
