WALKER OPENS
THIRD WEEK AT
MURAT MONDAY
*The Acquittal’ to Be Pre
sented by Popular Stock
Company.
SNAPPY VAUDEVILLE
Mr. Stuart Walker will give Murat
patrons next week a touci. of mys
tery, as he will present “The Ac
quittal,” a dramatic mystery play
with lots of comedy, by Rita Weiinan.
As mystery plays are In the lead in
New York City at the present time,
Mr. Walker will give this city a
taste of this mystery fever.
“The Acquittal” will bring- back to her
homo city Miss Marjorie Vonnegnt of
Indianapolis, who will play the leading
rolo.
At Keith's r.cxt week will lx the Three
■White Kuhns, musicians and comedians.
The I.yric will tcature "Dance Flashes,”
a dance offering-.
The Rialto an totinces that Bert Smith’s
Ragtime Wondets will be held over for
another week.
“TIIK ACQUITTAL,”
NEXT BILL AT JURAT.
The third bill of the Stuart Walker
Company's season at the .Murat will be
someth! ig of a departure from the usual
run of summer plays in that it Is a
melodrama of the mystery type which
has had such an enormous vogue for the
past several seasons and which Is be- |
coming even more popular as time goes ;
on.
At present In New York there are no j
less than five mystery plays now run
ning with three more announced for early
production.
Stuart Walker shows his alertness to
the situation by offering to Indianapolis
audience* a play of this character which
was pronounced in New York and Chi
cago the best of its kind to he produced.
It is “The Acquittal.” by Rita Weitnan,
who is rapidly making herself known as I
one of the most promising of the younger
writers for the stage. In “The Acquit- j
t.ai.” she has acnmplisbed the difficult j
feat of Idling a thrilling story without I
sacrificing probability or credible char- j
actor drawing. Tier people are everyday ]
■people whom we all know, and her story
i> one that might happen to any of us.
If tells of one Kenneth Wlnthrop who j
has been accused of the murder of one j
of his oldest friends. He is tried and j
acquitted after one of the most sensa- |
tinnal murder trials th“ country has
witnessed for years. The notoriety of
the . aso arouses the interest of a young
new-per reporter from out West, and!
•in his ow n authority he coin-s to New j
York to solve the mystery. He is en
tirely unofficial In Ills Investigations and
obnoxious to the Wlnthrop household In
many of them, but nothing will make
bint ••ease h:s efforts until he has finally
uncovered the entire affair and won him
seif a romantic adventure in the bar
gain.
The play is full of comedy.
In the leading role of Mrs. Winthrop.
Marjorie Vonnegnt will play a role that
will be entirely different from anything
she lias done before in Indianapolis. It
is a highly emotional one and one that
■will allow Miss Vonnegut to Indulge the
foil scope of her ability. Donald Mac
donald will be the young reporter who
solves the mystery, and George Somnes
■will be cast as the husband who is ac
quitted of the murder charge. Aldrich
Bowker will be seen as the attorney for
the defense and William H. Evarts will
p'nr the old family doctor. Robert Mc-
Groarty will, of course, play the butler,
and Belle Murry will be a very different
sort of maid. Mary Ellis will have her
first opportunity to play a serious role,
and others In the cast will include Clarke
Hoover. Whitney Warren and Leward
Meeker.

In The Land Make Be 1 ieve
By WALTER D. HICKMAN
Ix;t us realize one thing ihe Stuart
Walker Company Is nearly ready to be
gin Its third week of the sixth season of
that organization.
In two weeks' time Mr. Walker has
given us a breezy and beautiful preset;ta
tlon of “Honors Are Even,” which wo
never have seen here before. This week
he has been giving us the great oppor
tunity of seeing Beryl Mercer in “Three
Live Ghosts." in the role which brought
her so much fame in New lork City.
Mr. Walker gave Cincinnati, Ohio, a
chance to see Miss Mercer. She has ap
peared only ijn New York, Cincinnati
and Indianapolis in this role. New York
kept her nearly a year playing the gin
soaked step-mother of one of “The Three
Live Ghosts."
N"xt week Mr. Walker will present
another play new to Indianapolis. It is
“The Acquittal," a mystery comedy
drumn. Mr. Walker Is moving rapidly
this season. It la my personal opinion
that Indianapolis Is not moving fast
enough. The Walker company is getting
good support, but Mr. Walker deserves
more than that—he deserves the very
best possible support that Indianapolis
can give him.
Miss Mercer and "Three Live Ghosts" •
should havo broken office records, hut j
the combination didn’t do it. There are’
mighty few producers who will bring
original stars to a city to play original
INDIANA DAILY TIMES
roles. Mighty few. To encourage Air.
Walker to continue this policy, tho pub
lic must voice its opinion at the box
office in healthy numbers.
No theater enterprise can accomplish
big things unless It has public support.
1 am not indicating that Mr. Walkers
opening week of the sixth Benson have
been bad from an attendance standpoint,
but I do maintain that the support should
have been in large proportions to bal
ance up with the merit of Mr. Walker's
endeavors.
Mr. Walker's organization is more than
an individual enterprise. It is nearly
civic in nature. For about four months
each year, the producer is a vital part
of the community life of the city. He
began ids season earlier than usual this
year. It Is Ideal weather to attend the
theater this time of tho year.
He 1s Introducing us to many new
players th!H season because he la operat
ing two companies, one hero and the
other In Cincinnati.
Mr. Walk* r announces that he will se
lect plays from the following list to he
presented at Murat (his summer: “Affairs
of Anatol," “Romeo and Juliet,” “Kollo's
Wild Oats,” “The Broken Wing," “Feter
Ibbetson," “The Girl of the Golden
West," “Boys Will Be Boys," “A Very
Good Young Aran.” “Enter Madame.”
“The Detour,” “Mv Lady's Dress,"
“Madame Sans Gene” and others.
Many of the plays in this list hnve never
been presented in Oils city. Also, Mr.
4—Miss Marjorie Vonnegut, Indianapolis actress, who will play the
leading role with the Stuart Walker company in “The Acquittal” at the
Murat next week.
Walker will present new plays by him
*-lf, Kenyon Nicholson, Rachel Butler,
<■ Ijj<ly h Inger, Algernon Tassln and Har
riet Ford
Mr. WaJker has outlined n big program
and one which should have more than
generous support and approval.
This should settle the question.
There aru four ways of spelling
Rodolph Valentino's first, name.
The I’iiramount star explains the seem
ing mix tip in this respect as follows;
•'When 1 was just starting in motion
pictures 1 could not in any way influence
tin- manner in which my first name was
spelled. So the papers and others took
j the commonest form—the German or Aus
trian—and made it ‘Rudolph ’
| "Later, when 1 became better known
; and became associated with Paramount
Pictures 1 wanted them to use the Italian
j —in my ease the proper form, spoiling it
j 'ltodolfo.' But there were objections to
this—it was thought people woniq im
■ ngine I ha*! a brother with a similar
1 name and so on.
J “So we compromised on ‘Hodolpho.’
! This is the French spelling and ns I'm
I half French, it was quite satisfactory,
j “But the English equivalent is,
j ‘rudolphus' - imagine a combination like
j that : ’Rudolphus Valentino’;
I “So now it is ’Rodolph' and 1 hope that
j my friends will understand the reason for
I the change and Just why it all came
j about.”
j Valentino Is now finishing his first
j Paramount star picture, "Blood and
I Sand," at the Lasky studio In Holly
! wood.
| -I
---j Here are om news Items sent to me
; concerning the Talmadge girls.
; Nonna and Constance Talmadge, sc-
Icompanied by their mother. Mrs Margaret
i Talmadge, have departed for Hollywood,
| after a two months vacation In New
York and Hollywood. They remained in
the East Just long enough to see the
opening of "Smilin’ Through" on Broad
way, where this Alien I.angdon Martin
story was selected for the celebration
of tbo Strand’s eighth anniversary, and
met with such gnat success that it was
held over for a second week.
The Talmadge sisters will continue
to make their future First National pro
ductions on the coast, but are particu
larly anxious to get hack to Hollywood
now, not so much on account of their
: work, as to be with their sister, Natalie,
and their brother in law, Buster Keaton,
, when the expected stork deposits his
precious burden on the threshold of the
Keaton household, some time In May.
Mrs. Talmadge says it will be utterly
1 impossible for one smnlV baby to wear
| all the beautiful things which its auntn
' to-be are bearing as presents from New
I Y'ork.
‘PARTNERS AGAIN*
IS BEST COMEDY
ALONG BROADW A Y
Barney Bernard and Alex
Carr Again Appear in
New York.
OTHER RIALTO NEWS
By DIXIE HINES.
NEW YORK. May 13.—For broad
comedy the best bet of the season Os
“Partners Again,” the latest Potash
and Perlmutter series; for light com
edy the week’s best play was “What
the Public Wants,” by Arnold Ben
nett, and for distilled gloom Strind
berg’s “Creditors.” If French as a
language was as popular as some
other things that are French. "Le
Retour," done by the French players
at the Belmont, would be the best
light comedy of the week.
Barney Bernard and Alex Carr, two of
the best Hebrew low comedians on the
stage, are reunited in the new Montague
'•lass and Jules Eckert Goodman com
edy, "Partners Again,” and the play,
wit h these skilled comedians, is perhaps
the most boisterous farce of the season.
It Is unquestionably the best of this
popular l’otash and Permutter series,
and has at once taken a commanding po
sition among the very few successful
comedies still on Broadway. The Abe
Potash and Mawruss Perlmutter have
gone into the automobile business this
time, and while the story holds together,
it Is really unnecessary. It is the con
trast between the older and more sedate
partner and tho young man of the firm
ihat furnishes the amusement. They de
| bate and scold and quarrel as before,
and get themselves into all sorts of trou
ble from which they are extricated with
| much ililficutty to themselves and much
amusement to the audience. The lines
[ are snappy and modern, tho characteri
zations excellent and the cast In every
way adequate. Jennie Jloscovitz, Helen
Relmer and Adele Holland are the best
nidH In this respect. “Partners Again”
Is a corking good farce, acted with skill
and made further attractive by excellent
staging.
BENNETT’S NEW PLAY
IS WELL WORTH SF.EINO.
Arnold Bennett’s “What the Public
Wants” is the play worth seeing even If
It Is somewhat stale now. It was writ
t-n nf a time when London was Just
awakenenlng to yellow Journal methodn,
snd Mr. Bennett found much to write
about. Now London has as many yellow
Journals as New York, and much of
what otherwise might have been mildly
amusing lack interest, but the Theater
Guild has made so skilful a production
with Charles Dalton, Malcolm Dunn,
Claude King, Margaret Wycherly, Louis
Calvert--Mr. Calvert staged the’ play as
well—Jane Wheatley, Harry Ashford and

---AL ST. JOHN AND MIX ON
DOt'BLE BILL AT ALHAMBRA.
In “The Fighting Streak,” coming to
j the Alhambra next week Tom Mix la
! cast as Andrew Fanning, a strapping
j young blacksmith—a man of unques
tioned nerve, muscles of steel and phe
nomenal strength, and yet he possessed
one quality that made him the laughing
stock of the little Western town in
which he lived and worked. He would
not fight.
Among the men of the place this was
look'ed upon as an unpardonable trait.
They subjected Lannlng to all sorts of
ridicule, taunts and petty abuse simply
because he preferred to live In peace.
Then one day, when he was all dressed
up to call on a girl whom he had res
cued from injury in the runaway of a
team of horses, one of the town bulHes
made the mistake of yanking the young
blacksmith’a new tio from around his
neck. For the first time In his life
Lannlng saw “red.’’ What he did re
sulted In his fleeing tho town with a
posse at his heels and a price on bis
head.
George Owen Baxter wrote the story—
a new sort for Mix—and he has framed
up a tale that Tom’s admirers will revel
in. There is action every foot of the
way. and new stunts galore of the thrill
Then, too. Mix has anew lead
ing woman who makes her debut In “The
lighting Streak.” Her name is Patsy
Ruth Miller, and never was there a more
charming heroine. Berte Sprotte, who
has so often played the "bad man" with
William S. Hart, is also In the cast
along with Sid Jordan, Al Freemont,
Gerald Prlng and Robert Fleming.
Subsidary program features will be the
