MAE MURRAY STARS
AGAIN FOR FITZMAURICE.
Mae Murray opens Sunday at the Ohio
in “The Right to Love,” the latest pic
ture to be produced by George Fltzmau
rice.
In her support will be David -Powell,
Alma Tell, Holmes K. Herbert, Macey
Harlem, Frank Losee, Marcia Harm an<l
Lawrence Johnston.
The story concerns Lady Falkland,
played by Miss Murray, who leads a
wretched existence under the same roos
with Lady Edith, the mistress of her
husband, Sir Archibald Falkland, in Tur
key. - *
In order to compromise her, Sir Archi
bald hires Prince Stanislaus Cernumicz
to make his home with them and shower
attention upon Lady Falkland.
At the embassy ball, Sir Archibald and
Lady Edith meet Col. Richard Lorlng, an
attache of the American Embassy.
Lorlng is the man Lady Falkland
really wanted to marry, but her father
forced her to give him up.
Lorlng complicates the affairs at the
Falkland house and in one scene Lady
Falkland falls a victim to the frame-up
of ber husband.
The termination of this sort of an af
fair makes up the balance of the story
of “The Right to Love.”
It is a Paramount picture.

ELSIE FERGUSON
PLAYS THREE ROLES
Few actresses would have the courage
and self confidence to attempt to play
three different characters, especially
those of a grandmother, a daughter ajjd,
finally, a great granddaughter. 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.
In the supporting cast are such play
ers as David Poweli, “ one of the most
polished of leading men; Frank Losse,
Holmes E. Herbert and Ida ,Waterman*

Tad Dolan's*Entertainers
In The Land ojf Make Bdieve
By WALTER D. 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.

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.
