New York Premieres Keep
Critics Working Overtime
Greenwich Village Follies Gorgeous and
‘Daddy’s Gone a-Hunting’
Deftly Handled.
and Philadelphia Public Eedger.
Special to Indiana Dally Times
By GILBERT SELDEB.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The opening of
new shows continue at Buch a pace and
with such enthusiasm that the critics
of the daily papers are obviously spent
by Wednesday of each week and gasp
with resentment when even the one-time
sacred Saturday night is pressed into
service for a premiere. They are hard
working lads md just now they keep a
staff of assistants and carefully save up
a joke or two which raigh. go into the
Tuesday criticism just in case Thurs
day turns out weak. Even with the help
of a capable assistant I haven’t go a
line on everything, but I think I can
give fairly the tone and atmosphere of
this beginning season.
The Greenwich Vilage' Follies stands at
the extreme of gorgeousness. Several
years ago John Murray Anderson took
a million yards of gauze, threw lights
on if, got a dancer to wind ! n and out
of it and made a show. Gauze, or. per
haps it was chiffon, for I know ail too
little of these matters, is inexpensive in
comparison with velvet and cloth of gold
and the progress of Mr. Anderson in his
expenditures. He imports a number of
delightful stunts. For example, his show
this year starts off with a Marionette
in which his own stars are done puppet
wise. He has Rosemund Fuller to sing
and Bird Milrnan to walk a tight rope;
he has again. Benda's Masks. It Is a
small point, but I think you will see
just why Mr. Anderson does not throw
in mere straight comedy scenes, but pos
sibly this is to distinguish his Revue
from the others, which are full of them.
Irene Franklin and A1 Herman and an
exceptional number of agreeable people
populate the stage and the costuming is
in the best manner of the present mu
sical comedy production.
-I- -I- -!-
Around the corner from the Greenwich
Village Follies is one of the quietest and
soberest and most appealing plays in
many years. “Daddy's Gone k-Hunting,"
in which Miss Zoe Adkins has thrown
over the upper classes and has composed
a piece about ordinary people set around
the figure of a painter with an ambition
to tear the truth out of life and a com
plete independence of the usual scruples
about methods. The real triumph of
Miss Adkins is in making the painter him
self a credible person, and in charging
her atmosphere with unexpressed emo
tions. Arthur Hopkins has carried his
methods of production to a logical con
clusion. so that everything is deftly and
quietly bandied, and whatever you may
say of the details, the total effect is one
of truth Marjorie ltumbeau bowled over
the skeptical with a performance which is
entirely in keeping with the production.
Robert Edmond Jones did the settings
and Frank Conroy played the artist;
Miss Frances Victory played the child,
and it was exactly the “chee-lld” of
melodrama taken over Into a setting of
reality. The outline of the play includes
the death of the child, but omits the
happy ending. The whole thing has hern
given an exceptionally serious and sym
pathetic reception.
* • ♦
An equally sympathetic reception, but
not nearly so serious, was the portion
of Cosmo Hamilton's “The Silver Fox.”
“The Silver Fox” Is neat and British. In
t-eatment. which means that no one is
offended by the brightness of the lines
as they are when an American play
wright makes an American say clever
lines. "The Silver Fox,” as played by
Violet Kemble Cooper, is a lovely human
being with blonde hair and. according
to the idea of the play, patters along
from iceberg to Iceberg, seeking and
seeking and finding nothing, and all she
wants is unlimited flattery and affection.
The play doesn’t really carry out the
Idea because those are the very things
her husband gives her. What she wants
s love and to love, hence a very clever
1 lot revolving on French Socialists, a
sitlrlcal dramatic act and a climax of
moderate happiness.
“Swords,” by Sidney Howard, affected
the critics in many ways; it is a poetic
drama and the names of every one from
Sam Benelli, who wrote “The Jest," to
Arthur Symons and Stephens Phillips
and D'Annunzio, have been mentioned in
comparison. It seems to be the run of
opinion that Mr. Jones’ sets are mag
nificent and Clare Eames is. or isn't, a
great actress, the last depending on your
opinion of her in her previous great
part, that of Mary Stuart.
Two revivals do not draw on the
writer's stock of ideas, except for com
paring public taste decade after decade.
“The Merry Widow” and “The Easiest
Way” are the two. strange that you

might exchange the titles so easily. In
the first, comparisons are natural be
tween the present chief players and
those of the past, in the second it is the
comparison betwen Frances Starr and
herself. I do not have to outllue the
plots of these two pieces nor recommend
them nor disparage them: they sound
exceedingly like fixtures in the contem

The law allows text-book retailers
to charge a price 20 per cent over th*
publisher's price. The school board
will sell books at only 10 per cent
over the publishers’ figure, this mar
gin representing only the freight and
handling costs. Havings of from 2 to
10 cents per book will be made possi
ble for pupils in this way, he said.

partinent. He replaces Edwin B. Birge,
who resigned to become head of the de
partment of music at Indiana University.
Mr. Messer's first public appearance
among school people was at the teachers'
meeting yesterday, where he was on the
musical program. His voice won him in
stant favor, and the prediction was made
that he soon will become a very wel
come addition to the musical colony.
Another important change is the trans
fer of the normal school from building
No. 10 to No. 2, at Delaware and Walnut
streets. Principal Elsworth Lowry ex
pects a successful yea; in the new and
larger quarters.
Two new grade school buildings will
be occupied for the first time Monday.
They are Nos. 20 at Sixteenth street and i
Columbia avenue and 22 at Kansas and
Illinois streets. The first unit building
at Technical High School, housing 1,800
students, also is finished.
The Technical building, large as it is,
will only begin to relieve congestion at
this institution. Dr. Douglas said, since
it is the only modern building on the
grounds and there will be some 4,000
young people enrolled. The Technical
shops' building should be completed
about Jan. 1, and this will aid immense
ly, he staled. Before the first of the
year it may be possible to arrange with
the contractor for the use of some rooms
In the shops unit.
The new building at Manual Training
High School still is under way.
THREE ADDITION'S
ARE COMPLETED.
Three additions to present buildings
are ready for use. Eight classrooms and
quarters for domestic science and man
ual training departments have been
added to schools Nos. 21. 2815 English
avenue, and 54, East Tenth end Dear
born streets. No. 44, Twenty-First street
and Sugar Grove avenue, has been en
larged with four classrooms and sewing
and cooking quarters.
The four-room addition to No. 57, East
Washington street and Ritter avenue, will
not lie completed until later in the year,
but classes in the original building,
which lias been remodeled, will go for
ward as usual. Two other new gra le
buildings are under construction, No. 75,
at Brightwood and Thirteenth streets,
and No. 5, atlWest Washington and Cal
ifornia streets.
All of the portable buildings, of which
there will be between forty nd fifty it®
us3 some time during the coming semes
ter, have not been placed, but will be
rapidly. Os the ten new two-room por
tables being set up, only seven are in
place. The other three are not ready
because they are on sites not adjacent to
permanent buildings, and it was neces
sary to provide toilets.
The four room additions to No. 43,
Fortieth street and Capitol avenue, and
No. 58, Lin wood and New York streets,
were completed last spring and wet"
used for a short time before school closed
for the summer vacation. Full use of
them will be enjoyed for the first time
this fall, however.
FOUR SCHOOLS
WITHOUT RELIEF.
“At Schools Nos. 36, 16, 2.8 and 62. con
struction on which has been held up by
the case before the State tax board, we
are at present time without relief,”
said Mr. Douglas. “In the month of May
the board of school commissioners adopt
ed a resolution to soli bowls with the in
tention of proceeling at once with the
erection of these additions In order that
we might get them into service before
the first of next year. That, of course, is
impossible now.
“This much, however, is true; the en
largement marks the largest addition to
the school plant In Indianapolis in its his
tory.
Half day sessions were being held at
the end of last year In eighty grad*
school rooms above the primary depart
ment. Addition of forty new rooms to
buildings ready or to be ready soon, will
take care of all of this congestion, it was
stated. Relief fer all of the IB's Is not
quite in sight.
HALF DAY SCHOOL
DURING FIRST WEEK.
Since the first week always is a period
for organization, half-day sessions will
