‘APHRODITE’ DOES NOT NEED A VACUUM CLEANER
Because It Reveals the Ballet in Artistic Pantomime
"Aphrodite’' was revealed last night In
her Jew eta amid a dim light in the
temple.
Out In front, “guarding” the public
morula, were Judge James A. Collins of
the Marlon County Criminal Court, Claris
Adams, prosecuting attorney; City Judge
Walter Pritchard, five police women and
an enormous crowd of people who had
walked to the box office of the Murat
Theater to buy tickets because they
wanted to see this magnificent spectacle.
"Aphrodite” did not bluh. Her au
dience found nothing that was inartistic.
The censors did not rise up in tlielr
seats to protest against the spectacle
depleting wild life In Alexandria. The
show went on to the honest applause of
an audience that needed no public guard
ian of morals. The boxes were filled
with distinguished citizens, motors cars
waited for them after the show and
hundreds of others rode home on a J
cent piece and a transfer, and many
others were glad to walk and recall the
beauty of the scenes just depicted.
“Aphrodite” as presented at the Murat
la a compliment to the beautiful In the
theater. The ballet presented Is as care
fully trained In their light attire as has
been shown here on Sundays. Color
blended Into color aa one richly beautiful
scene faded Into another. Camels and
horsee, men and women, love and hate,
foolish tows and kisses, death and life,
dance and melody were all blended Into
a beautiful spectacle of the art of the
theater.
I answer the question directly; Is
"Aphrodite” immoral? Is It vulgar? Is
It Inartistic? Is It dull?
To each and every question
In plain words—No. Imagination has
caused every protest against this show.
It is true that the story concerns the
first wild woman, Chrysls, who vamped
before Theda Bara ever heard the word.
This woman demands three things of the
man she wants to possess. They are a
mirror, a string of pearls and a comb.
To obtain them, Demetrlos must pay for
them with everything he holds valuable.
And yet he murders to obtalD the three
gifts for this wild woman. This Deme
trios Is a Greek sculptor who has carved
out of stone the original September
Morn. He worships this statue and on
seeing Chrysls, a street walker, thinks
that ahe represents thq spirit of the
statue. After he causes her death, this
sculptor discovers how much he loves
her.
All of this takes place amid settings
that are as beautiful as the hand of man
can create. A ballet, thinly clad, goes
through a score of movements that are
no different than those done under the
name of “art" by some of the Sunday
artist who have appeared In this city
and are all ready hilled to appear. The
words of the story are spoken Intelli
gently by McKay Morris, an old friend
at the Mnrat, as Demetrlos, the Greek
eculptor; Pauline Armltage (In the
original role of Dorothy Dalton) a-f
Chrysls, a beautiful street walker of
Alexandria; Frederick Macklyn as
Tlmon, a Greek gallant; V. L. Gran- i
vllle, also known here as Horatlus, a
Roman poet; Alfred Hemming as Nan
krates, physician to the queen, and a few
others who have lines to speak. I have
forgotten the splendid dramatic work
done by Maude Odell as Bacchys in the
second, act, the last scene.
I have not mentioned the dancing of
Vera D’Artelle as Aphrodasla, a dancing
slave, who exhibits * herself In a wild
dance of complete abandonment If there
Is objection to her work then the ballet
Is Impure. None of her dancing Is cheap
—lt Is art and, no apologies are offered.
There Is one bit that Is unnecessary,
and that Is the Introduction of a beauti
ful maiden In frequent clothes who rides
on a camel while on her way to the house
of Bacchys.
And In speaking of the so-called wild
ness at the home of Bacchys, It did not !
possess the imaginative kick that the I
famous kfordkin gave me at the Mnrat j
years ago when he came prancing on the
stage covered with the suggestive furry
of wine.

A sane analysis of “Aphrodite” must
result in a verdict that it is a beautiful
1 production, an enjoyable entertainment.
There are no loose Jokes cracked In this
show, no cheap wiggles of dancers whose
only training has been a cheap cabaret
or less. It is a big. Joyous, melodious
and pleasing blending of dance, color and
action.
I am willing to place my verdict In

MANIEtVS ART
IRIIHPHS AT ENGLISH’*.
With all the power universally conced
ed to be his, Robert Mantell tore out
one of history’s terrible pages and read
therefrom H. V. Mattheus' adaptation of
Casmlr Dr-larigne’s "Louis XI" at Eng
lish’s last night. Throughout the evening
Mnntell did what he has often done be
fore. held an audience through three
hours of the grisliest action and left none
regretting his eagerness for more of the
master's portrayal.
Choosing a play, ono of the outstand
ing scenes of which Is a tableaux In
which he as Louis XI of France silently
gloats over the hanged forms of a dozen
of his victims, Mantell renewed his right
to the title of one of the greatest ex
ponents of the classics.
Last night's presentation of ’’Louis
XI” marked its addition to the Mantell
repertoire In this city. It is to be ex
pected that It would be up to the Mantel!
standard In cast and staging. Vet those
who have grown used to the famous
actor’s high merit were not quite pre
pared for the beautiful, competent pic
ture drawn by Miss Genevieve Hamper,
whom Mr. Mantell brought to Indian
apolis ai his co-star again this season. In
the character of Marie. The bright love
liness of her personality and her part
were In forcible contrast to the loath
some ugliness of the soul and body of
Louis XI.
Mantell has lost none of his artistry,
neither In his work In front of the audi
ence and that equally difficult task of
preparation for the public test. George
Stillwell as the Duke-de Nemours, Frank
lin Salisbury as The Dauphin, Henry
Buckler as Francois de Paule, A. C. Hen

as Philip e Commlms, and Vaughan

JUGGLING OF HUMAN BEINGS
IS BIG SENSATION AT KEITH’S.
Right in the beginning, let me warn
you that tbero Is a big thrill In store for
vou on attending Keith’s this week. The
thrill Is afforded by the Four Readings,
Jugglers, who Juggle human beings as
carelessly as If they were clubs. One of
the many big stunts put on by these
four splendidly developed men, Is when
one of the men, who is blind folded, leaps
from the shoulders of a man on to the
uplifted hands of another man, also blind,
folded. This stunt, as well as the many
others done by the Four Readings, re
sulted in one of the biggest ovations ever
given an act of this nature while the
writer has been present at Keith’s. This
act easily takes first pUce on the Thanks
giving week bill.
Another act which held up the show
and caused the dear public to “beg” for
more was Loralne Howard and Verne
Sadler in “Wedding Bella.” One of the
girls Is an expert shouter of ragtime
songs, and the way she puts over ’’The
Blues” Is more like a sensation than
more singing. It is a relief these days
10 see singers come out on the stage who
know how to put over a song instead
of using up a lot of time by idle talk.
Howard and Sadler have the personality,
the songs and everything which goes to
make up a winning act.
Bothwell Browne and his bathing beau
ties In “A Twentieth Century Revue" Is
Interesting because of the excellence of
the Browne slßters, who are splendid
Jazz accordionists and stage a sweet little
dance called "Bearls of Pekin.” There
are also a number of beautiful girls who
are attired in abbreviated bathing suite
and appear In the opening part of the
act. Some of them assist Browne, who
Impersonates a fdhiate harem dancer. In
a dance affair. The audience didn’t be
come enthusiastic over Bothwell Browne’s
movements—neither did the writer.
The bill Includes Brown and O'Donnell,
who win on their personality and Inti
mate way with the audience; Dailey.

ers; the Vivians are sharp-shooters, end

-HOLIDAY WEEK BILL
BUNS TO AIELOUT AND DANCE. •
The spirit of a holiday week appears
to get into the performer just as It
does Into thi audience. This was ap
parent when the reviewer visited the
Lyric to look over the Thanksgiving
week eho-w. The audience and the actor
appeared to have something In common.
Everybody was happy and thankful for
something. On Thanksgiving day the
vaudeville preformeT will be thankful
for a restaurant dinner away from
friends and thankful that every day is
not Thanksgiving, with lte extra show*.
The dear audience on the other band
will hare a big home-cooked dinner,
with nothing to do but digest the
dinner. The entire bill this week Is
full of good fellowship.
Sadie Conway Is a cut# little feminine
trick, who dresses up in boy’s clothes
and looks a good deal like the clevey
Kittle Doner, who need to be of kindly
assistance to At Jolson In some of his
shows. Miss Conway has a cute little
say about her and her companion In the
fun Is Charlie Fields. This couple knows
how to hold the attention of their audi
ences and use material that gets the
laughs and the applause.
The featured act Is a musical girl af
fair called “A Rainbow Cocktail.” The
act specializes In scenery, glrla and
melody.
The bill Includes the Roof Garden
Trio, two men and a girl In dancea and
stunts; a comedy sketch called ”Boy
Wanted,” In which the comedy is fur
nished by a messenger boy; La Sllvlans,
aerial performers; Phesay and Powell In
novelty dances; Anita and Stanley, and
Fields and Robertson, known as “The
Gloom Chasei-e.”

members how they kissed him when he
waa a baby, It makes him long for the
cradle again. This song number, “I Long
for the Cradle Again,” Is one of the
numbers offered In Peck and Jennings’
"Jazz Babies." now at the Park.
“Jazs Babies" Is a musical extrava
ganza which Is constructed along the old
lines of giving the oomedlane the entire
burden to carry. George Hart and Mlckoy
Markwood do not employ any new meth
ods but reiy upon the old time falls,
wheezes and noise to put their line of
comedy over. When they are on the
stage, they control the stage. When they
need a rest a chorus trots out, sings and
dances a wee bit and then Hart and
Markwood, with the aid of Don M.
Clark, are at It agnln.
• The liveliest member of the femalo
■ group of the show is Miss Bonnie Lloyd.
Dolly La Salle does her best work while
singing “Apple Blossom Time.” Kane
and Mlse La Balle also stage a modern
I dancing number in the first act.
The show Is in two acts with the uia
! Jorlty of the eonge offered In the first
act. The chorus fails to measure up to
the standard set last week by the Lena
Daley show.
“Jazz Babies" la on view all week at
the Park.
