LIVING WATERS
TRICKLED OVER
ACTUAL STONES
Little Theater Audience Well
Pleased With *The
Spring:
What Is more fascinating than a bub
bling:, sparkling spring set in the heart
of a woods? Is there any sound more
musical than the soft tinkle of the water
trickling down over the rocks? And
last night, on the stage of the Masonic
Temple, as the vital part of the setting
for the Little Theater production of "The
Spring,” there flowed a "real live” spring,
eo realistic in fact that the actors drank
the water thirstily and the audience
Itself became embued with a strong de
sire for a drink.
The drama, which deals with the
psychic problem, the transmission of
thought from one individual to another,
and the hvpnotic possibilities, even dip
ping into the transmigration of souls,
was handled with delicacy and art by the
players, many of whom were decidedly
youthful. Miss Angeline Bates, as the
young girl with the peculiar psychic
powers which made her seem "queer” to
the rest of her associates, and caused her
father to consider her on the verge of
Insanity, threw herself into the role with
an abandon that made her acting a de
light to the enthusiastic audience. Jack
Harding, as Elijah Robbins the Third,
as the young instructor with a pas
sion for psychic study, gave a virile.
Eesh and blood interpretation of his part.
The story opened with a prelude the
Betting of which was unusually
beautiful in scenic effects, the scene
being the woods the spring and the In
dians in 1813 near the village of tne
gauks. Elijah Robbins was captured by
Black Hawk, the Indian chief and by
reason of his courage was adopted by the
chief as his son. Preceding the capture,
Nam-e-qua, daughter of Black Hawk,
eaw a vision in the spring, of Elijah
Ehootlng at her father which he at
tempted later, although his gun missed
fired, which led to his capture. The prel
tade ends with the warriors and Elijah 1
emoking the peace-pipe as the san was
sinking.
Miss Rebecca Kaplan as Nam-e-qua was
an ideal Indian maiden, showing a de- '
gided dramatic ability. H. L. Earnest j
as Black Hawk, looked every inch an j
Indian chief and carried out his role j
tn splendid fashion. Paul Iske, won ap
proval as Na-som-see, son of Black Hawk. !
Mrs. Carl Lieber as Singing Bird, wire
of Black Hawk, W W. Woollen Jr., as
John Street, companion of Elijah, Glenn
Campbell Arlelgh Waltz and .Norman
Green as Indians of the village all ac
quitted themselves in excellent fashion.
The scene of the play proper was sup
posed to be laid on the same spot, the
spring still bubbling, the grandson of
Elijah I having built his home there.
The plot is built around Esther Chant
land. the daughter of the head of the
University, department of psychology.
William Chantland, whose peculiar
psychic powers have caused her father I
to bring her to the quiet home for rest.
He thinks she is likely unbalanced at
times and is having her watched by I>r.
Hadley, professor of nervous diseases,
lie has forbidden her to exert her powers,
when Elijah 111., who is an instructor j
under her father, discovers her peculiar '
gift, when she sees a vision in the spring,
concerning the Sauk Indian and his
grandfather, which his father explains is
similar to the old tale of the vision seen
by Nam-e-qua.
He asks her father to allow her to
work with him, using her powers in con
nection with his experiments, but Is
angrily repulsed by the professor, who
declares, it temporary insanity in
stead of'a divine gift. After a dramatic
scene where Elijah hypnotizes Esther,
bringing her from her room to him by
the force of his will, and she is rudely
brought from her trance by her father's
sudden appearance on the scene, which
throws her into wild hysteria.
Elijah and the professor have a violent
quarrel because the father will not let
Elijah try his hypnotic influence on
Esther to quiet her a few blows are ex
changed and the professor suffers a frac
tured skull, it is thought. After a series
of thrilling scenes, Elijah brings Esther
back to her normal state by his power
end the play ends with a uniting of the
love of Elijah and Esther by the spring.
Larry Fletcher as the professor did a
nice bit of acting as did Rollo Talcott as
Hr. Hadley, Mrs. Alexander Hamilton
carried out the role of the matter of fact,
slightly confused mother of Elijah, in
pleasing style. Robert E. Tracy won a
goodly share of applause by his artistic
presentation of the character of Ira Rob
bins. father of Elijah 111. The other
characters included A. F. Weyerbaeher
ns Hr. Sheldon, Guy May as Judge Par
sons. Miss Elise O'Connell as the nurse,
nil of whom played their parts in easy
natural fashion.
The play was received with round after
round of applause and repeated calls for
Fomnes, brought forth the director who
was presented with a huge basket of
chrysanthemums. The drama was per
haps the most finished and artistic offer
ings of the Little ’flheatcr.
The next play of the society is to be
Bernard Shaw's "Androcles nnd the
Lion,” on Friday evening, Dec. 16.

VITAL INTERESTS
OF JAPAN WILL
NOT BE ATTACKED
Petit Parisien Correspondent
Sees This as a Fundamental
Policy of United States.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By PHILLIPE MILLET,
Editor Petit Parisien.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—America’s
policy will not be uncompromising in
the Far East. The United States will
not wage a crusade against Japan. Such
is the important fact emerging from the
first debates of the committee on China
and the Pacific.
The most significant event of the first
sitting of the committee on the Pacific
was not indeed the appearance of a not
entirely unexpected Chinese memoran
dum. The real interest was concentrated
on the attitude of Mr. Hughes. Not
only was the Secretary of State careful
not to pronounce an indictment of Jap
anese policy, but immediately after re
calling the traditional attachment of
America to the 'principle of the open
door in China, he recognized the special
position Japan occupies in view of the
geographical neighborhood of the Chinese
territory.
JAPAN’S INTERESTS
NOT THREATENED.
This important statement finally con
firms the change perceptible from the
first day of the conference in the dispo
sitions of America. Further discussions
on the details are no doubt possible or
even likely. However, it is clear the
United States do not intend henceforth
j to threaten any vital Interests Japan
may believe to possess in the matter,
j This is a cardinal point.
It would indeed be necessary to know
! what Intention had been almost openly
! announced by members of the American
| Administration a short time before the
| conference in order to grasp the sudden
-1 ness of this radical change. A few weeks
| ago the essential object of American pol
; icy was to compel Japan to give up her
| hold over China. Today America will
content herself with presenting on the
subject a number of moderate recom
mendations.
How can such a thing be explained?
Several causes are possible. The first,
; which I already indicated a few days
ago, may be found in the pressure ex
erted by American public opinion which
clearly wants limitation of naval arma
ments and reduction in public expendi
ture to go before any kind of political
; interference in China. It is. however, diffi
cult not to believe in the second place
the new mood of the American Govern
ment also is due to certain' diplomatic
facts.
WANTS TO END
ALLIANCE.
The point Mr. Hughes and all respon
sible American statesmen had in mind
was the necessityßo bring to an end the
Anglo-Japanese alliance which appeared
to be responsible for all imperialistic un
dertakings of Japan and China. If as a
result of the exchange of views which
very likely has taken place between Great
Britain and the United States on the eve
of the conference, the American Govern
ment had received on this subject some
clear assurances, the present mildness of
America would appear less surprising.
In other words, what already has taken
place inside the conference with regard
to the limitation of naval armament or
with regard to China indicates the proba
bility of an Anglo-American agreement
which, of course, • will have nothing in
; common either with an alliance or an
i understanding Involving any kind of per
‘ manent commitments, but which will sue
j eeed Insuring tho maintenance of general
i peace.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger

The fortnightly meeting of the Little

bers will be a feature of the afternoon,

including 3Dss Esther Sussman, Miss
Frances Munter, Miss Henrietta Kahn,
Miss Celia Neusladt and Miss Frances
Mazur will be In charge of the entertain
ment for the tiny children.
THE BEAVER TRIMMED SPIT.
Nothing is lovelier in a brown suit
than a soft wool material, of beaver
shades trimmed It beaver fur. Long
panels edged with the fur give the coat
the new lines so well liked. Fur cuffs,
larger than we have seen on suits in
fany a day, and a large warm collar of
the fur complete this lively suit.
CHIFFON VELVET EVENING GOWN.
Bright rose chiffon velvet forms a very
charn.lng and youthful evening frock.
The bouffant effect is obtained by the use
of several velvet covered cords encircling
the hips. Small ruffles of the velvet form
the tiny f' i-eves. The dress is devoid
of trimming with the exception of a cor
sage bouquet of flowers in a pretty con
trasting color.
