To MOTION If THEATERS. liilcy Gift Is Largest. The gift to the Riley hospital was the largest public bequest. It was estimated that the sale of 250 shares of preferred stock in Eli Lilly Co.

as provided in the will would amount to between $31,000 and over $35,000. Mr. Lilly provided that the stock should first be offered to persons now holding stock in the company and, provided it was not sold there, to the public. comes into the home and leads her son astray as well as her husband. A wanton is this gypsy whose greatest happiness lies in beads and moneV, a tricky little creature without a moral to her name.

Some way I can't see the movies daring to film a story in which a father and son fall in love with the same woman. That is practically the story of "The Squall" if one can dignify their emotion with the word love. Yet, since "Sadie Thompson" passed muster strange times have come upon the movies. Ann Q. Nilsson is my choice for the mother and Lina Basquette, Lupe Velez or some of the girls of this type, for the gypsy.

A year ago Evelyn Brent was regarded as a fair actress, a girl who would do very well in pictures that cost, say $30,000 to produce. Times have changed and within that brief have the both of them here at one time, in company with such an accomplished artist as Henrietta Cros-man, and in a Shakespsrean comedy, is more than an event. It is a momentous occasion. Such an occasion now takes place. The trio of favorites presented at English's last night the first of a series of four performances of Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor," that delightful comedy of village gossip and intrigue.

To me her case is one of the most interesting of any I know. Over at Famous Playcrs-Lasky the different male stars are lined up asking for her as their leading ledy.

Lilly's gift will enable the hospital board to proceed with certainty along lines of investigation and research with certainty of financial safety in the future. The children of Indiana will bless him for his generosity." Mr. Brown spoke of the farsightedness of Mr. Lilly in making his bequest to the Riley hospital, as well as to other institutions. Institution's Future Secure.

"Mr. Lilly appreciated the fact that was undoubtedly right in his opinion. Certainly, in the author's own time, no such production attended one of his plays and no such actors played the parts. Each player in the large cast seemed to have caught the atmosphere of the time and to be inspired by the genius of the artists in the three principal roles. Each, to the lowliest member of the company, brings understanding and ability to the Riley hospital is an institution with a certain future," he said.

Ruth Chatterton, originally announced to play opposite Adolphe Menjou in "Super of the Gaieties" will make her screen bow in something else and Evelyn Brent will be Mr. Menjou's next leading lady.

You never can tell in the movies from day to day what is going to happen, hence it might be advisable to keep a fortune teller with you. Laura LaPlante must have gone to Honolulu very well satisfied. Just before she took the boat she discussed with certain people "The Husband Hunt," by Harry O. Hoyt, as a possible story. This gives her a chance for comedy as well as a little drama.

Lewis Stone, who seems to have become almost as closely associated with Universal as he was with First National in the old days, is mentioned as one of the leading characters. Johnny Harron is also a possibility. Although this story is not sensational nor any nis pari. But it is in the fine acting and the keen humor of Mr. Fiske and Mr.

Skinner, Mrs. Fiske and Miss Cros-man that the real delights of the play are found. Mr. Skinner, in the celebrated role of Falstaff, makes the roistering, rascally old knight a human, lovable creature, and Mrs. Fiske, as Mistress Page, and Miss Crosman as Mistress Ford, his chief tormentors, play their parts with misehievious humor.

Altogether, it is fine acting. It is acting of the sort seldom seen here, and for that matter, anywhere else, for only on rare occasions does one find a trio of "stars" in one cast. DR. CHAS. W.

The present -H- form of the play is the result of careful editing by Harrison Grey Fiske, who is responsible for its production. Mr? Fiske has sacrificed none of the humor or continuity of the comedy by his editing. Rather he has increased its merit by shortening the playing time and taking out certain actions and phrases which would "Free Examination" Modern Methods Newest Equipment Painless Extraction for continuing existence ana Mr. Lilly was wise in selecting an institution with the state of Indiana back of it in making his gift to posterity." Mr. Baxter said that Mr.

Lilly had left a "heritage which will keep alive his memory in Indiana forever" through the bequest to the Riley hospital. "Mr. Lilly, with other members of the family, have been long recognized as public benefactors, and James E. Lilly carries on," he added. "Indiana university and the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association look upon the bequest as the sea! of approval on the work which the Riley hospital is doing," Mr.

Fesler said. "No one was in better position to appreciate the work already done by the hospital and the opportunity which lies in its future than Mr Lilly. The institution is deeply grateful for his gift." Residue to Foundation. The Y. M.

Mrs. Nora R. Lilly, the widow, received a life income from 1,200 shares of preffered stock in Eli Lilly Co. and in the family home. She also received all household goods and similar effects.

Life incomes were provided for several relatives. Income of 350 shares of the stock was bequeathed for life to Alice K. Glendenning, a sister of Mr. Lilly, and income on 400 shares to the widow's sister, Mrs. Lucy F.

She received her theatrical training in Louisville, having danced ever since she was a tiny girl. Her first role as she recalls it was as Little Eva in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and oddly enough her last dramatic bit was as Liza in "Topsy and Eva."
