INDIANAPOLIS, July 28. -Closing of the most groping and p-rp exed session of Indiana’s gmeral assembly within memory is now in sight, with a drive among members to ha e hv «i' e die adjournment declared by this evening. Whether such an event can be brought about so soon ’’or the special meeting, which began two weeks and a half ago, depends on the ability of the conferees on "'(> fix bills to agree and report to the hou-'• aid the senate solution - f, r. will be gererally acceptable. Troublesome points of difference among members of both houses about methods to be included in the bill to adjust conditions caused by nullification of horizontal tax assessment increases, and the bill to restore to counties control of tax levies ami bond issues, were still evident when the house took up their sessions today, but leaders felt that these differences could soon he removed in such a manner that acceptable tax legislat-
ion could be had.
War Memorial Conferees The fact that a joint conference committee on a world war memorial bill practically has agreed on a plan for the state to fix a levy, which will raise about $2,160,000 for the memorial with St. Clair park and the grounds of the Indiana Institution for the Blind in Indianapolis as a site, and provision for co-operation by Indianapolis and Marion county in acquiring as a part of the memorial grounds the two blocks between the institution for the blind and University park, makes a considerable advance toward the session’s close. The administration bill for regulating the prices and distribution of coal in Indiana which was the subject of conference debate, has now been passed
by both houses.
Conferees on the tax questions began deliberations in the morning, and there were pro-jvects that the mem-be-s*nf the committee which : s considering the amended Johnson h >usc “home rule” bill and 'he Tuthill house horizon’..tl tax rate legalization bill, which was amended in the senate by substituting what is known a-* the | Kiper bill, would freely exchange 1 views for the purpose of arriving at a mutual solution. Borne talk is heard of combining the vital elements of the two Mils and reporting out one bill,' which is designed to take care of the whole situation.
Last night in the west College Auditorium, a large and enthusiastic audience heard Mrs. Vera Bowen Munson’s interpretation of “Lightnin’ ’’. The entertainment was complimentary to the students of the summer session and to townspeople. In the first place, Mrs. Munsen showed her fine selective skill in her cutting of the production. In the second place she gave the community again a demonstration of her power of visualization. In her despiction of atmosphere and delineation of character she showed fine koeness and penetration. In the thin! place, Mrs. Munsen gave another exhibition last evening of her unusual power of analysis. Here is a woman who see the philogphy under fact; who translates characters in the terms of the universal;, and who holds before an audience a < mirror of individual subliminal self.; Under Iter artistic treatment of 1 of them, we want to shake hands with old “Lightnin”; we want to emulate the defender of the Joneses; and we awnt to help hang Thomas. As she compels these characters to parade their eccentricities and their foibles, the almost uncanny feeling creeps upon us that we need not look further
for a picture of ourselves.
In the fourth place Mrs. Munsen brings at once to lu-ar upon h.-r interpretations unusual talents and the results of long training; a tenacious, accurate memory; a fine grace and charm of address; a voice of large range and Varied color; an articulation clean cut, distinct, but never ov-er-nice nor affected; a quick responsiveness to the intellectual and emotional content of the literature; and a conservative yet natural physical ex-
pression well nigh faultless.
The appreciation of the audience was shown in the rippling laughter that ran back and forth over the house and in the frequent applause.!
Here’s hoping that as she continues her work in the field of art she will receive the rewards she so richly deserves and here’s hoping that the students and townspeople may have the opportunity of hearing he’ fre-
quently.
