The Marion County library, which was established in 1843 and is said to be one of the oldest in the State, has been given anew lease of life by its removal from crowded and badly lighted quarters in the basement of the courthouse to a larger and better lighted room. The library has been moved from room 83 to room 12 and part of the room has been made into a pretty and comfortable restroom for the use of women while marketing. The library proper is opened only on Saturdays. Anna P. Blaich is librarian. The officers are as follows: Henry Clay president: Charles W. Moores, vice president; William S. Garver, treasurer; Anna P. Blaich, secretary; Lee Swaiis, Daniel Dorsey, Judge James" A. Collins, Lee Bnrns and Albert P. Smith, trustees.

ARREST CAR CREW FOR CUTTING HOSE 3 Horses Burn to Death When Water Supply Stops.

Charles Lock, 38, 1547 Roosevelt avemotorman, and Charles Williams, 124, 850 Ashland avenue, conductor of a Columbia avenue street car, which is alleged to have run over two liines of lire hose last night, were arrested early 1 today by Patrolman Tenbrock. They are charged with running over a fire hose. Th edepartment had answered a still alarm for a fire at a barn in the rear of 1524 Columbia avenue. The two lines of fire hose were stretched across the track and water was being poured on the big j barn where efforts were being made to .save three horses. Suddenly the streams of water stopped as the street ear cut the lines of hose and a general alarm was sent in to secure fire apparatus to prevent the flames spreading to other buildings. The still alarm was received at 11:13 o’clock. The origin of the fire is said to have been incendiary and the flames gained such headway that—three horses were burned to death. The barn was the property of E. B. Parker. Tte horses were owned by A. S. Johnson, who lost a number of horses in a barn that was destroyed by fire a year ago. A small automobile truck was saved. The damage to the barn was estimated at S4OO. Half of Courthouse Site Set at $1,750,000 t s half of the courthouse property is worth $1,750,000, according to a report prepared by a special committee of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at the request of the East Washington Street Merchants’ Association. A bill has passed the Senate and is now pending in the House to give the county the right to sell this property. It is planned to sell the south half of the property and with the proceeds to pay off the indebtedness on the present building and construct an office building on the north half. It is estimated proceeds of tlje sale and the extra tax to bo derived from the courthouse property, when it becomes private property, will be sufficient to carry out plans for * new building.

GROODY DROPS LOVE f S ANCHOR IN ( NIGHT BOAT Clark and Bergman Are Solid Hits—Rube Act at Lyric—Soubretle Wins at Park

For Sale—One heart and many kisses, j The owner of all is Miss Louise Groody, who anchors herself and “The Night Boat” in your affections. She drops the anchor very deep In the 1 sea of admiration and love while she ’ is singing “A Heart for Sale,” which is one of the several tuneful numbers in : "The Night Boat,’’ now at English's. Miss Groody sings and dances her way - through this musical comedy which has | weathered successfully the storms of New j York and other cities for more than a year and Is now Chicago bound after closing the engagement at English's on Saturday night. Miss Groody is a dancer who dances right Into your heart and her every kick and spin reflects her youth and pleasing personality. She Is a rare combination of melody, dance and sweet personality. She works the lever which puts “The Night Boat” going at a high rate of speed. This show is her triumph. There isn’t much of a story to be found in “The Night Boat” as it gets lost so often. When it vanishes, six plot demonstrators appear and tell the audience what is going to happen and reminds them that the plot will be taken up again. The plot concerns a young husband, played by John E. Hazzard, who tells , his wife that he is the captain of a night \ boat so he ean look into the eyes of : another woman. The wife, played by Stella Hoban, and his mother-in-law, enacted by Ada Lewis, discover the deception by taking a trip on the boat. The husband manages to wrap himself up in the big coat of the r enl captain, who is playe dby Ernest Torrence. Hazzard is at his best when dressed up like the captain in the second act. Miss Groody’s dancing partner at this time is Wellington Cross, who succeeded ; Hal Skelly, he of the long and nimble ; legs. Mr. Skelly played the Freddie Ives ! role for a few weeks when the New York t engagement opened more than a year ago. Mr Cross stepped in when Sk*dly joined “The Girl in the Spotlight,” which was seen here some weeks ago. Mr. Cross ad Miss Groody were brought back many times last night. They have j several great numbers, such as “Chick. Chick. Chick,” and “Don't You Want to ! Take Me?” Miss Hoban has several sparkling nnm- ! bers, the best being “Left Alone Again Blues.” The introduction of some of the old-time songs at the close of the second act. such as “On the Banks of the Wabash” and “Suwanee River,” go over to big applause. It Is In the second act, which takes place on the boat, that the Jug Band and dance are introduced. It is in this act where Ada Lewis and Hansford AVilson, the original Lester in "Listen Lester,” stage the famous “souse” number. It's a gem of fooling. The Canslno brothers make a complete knockout with their •lances. Mr. Torrence, who Is over six feet, had his moments of melody. For example, his “I Love the Lassies” number. The settings are pretty, the costumes are beautiful and there is enough dress goods to completely cover everybody. This is indeed a treat. Opinion: If you enjoy good dancing and singing; if you appreciate youth as reflected by Miss Groody and enjoy thf clever fooling of that expert of comedy, Ada Lewis —in brief, if you like a good, clean and pretty show, then “The Night Boat” is your show. At English's all week, with matinees today and Saturday. W. D. H. -i- -|. -!- WHY ASK FOR MORE? THEY GIVE YOU THE WORTH. On leaving B. F. Keith's yesterday afternoon this thought came to me: Why ask for more when they give you the world ? That applies to the current bill at Keith's. There Is so much wealth of real entertainment on this bill that I am sure no one could find fault with this big-time vaudeville offering. I have selj dom raved over an entire vaudeville bill i in this department, but I am going to do that very thing for a short time. Am going to give my opinion first: The current bill at Keith's is a ecmtiliment to vaudeville and the entire hill is as refreshing as the first song of the robin in the spring. When a bill wants sbme real class the bookers are sure to engage Gladys Clark ! and Henry Bergman, assisted by the Crisp Sisters, dancers, and Lou Handman at the piano. Miss Clark is slightly

EATS ‘PIC RLE IT FRUIT

SfSS&SJyJ *.W> .Sf

ADA LEWIS. When Ada Lewis and Hansford Wilson eat “pickled” fruit, which contains j “brandy,” in the boat scene in “The Night Boat,” the fun speeds up to a ter- j rifle pace. Miss Lewis obtains a comedy ' "souse,” which is a gem of fooling. The | splendid work of this woman is one of i the brightest spots of this bright musical | comedy. * | handicapped by an Injury received to her left foot, but it has not harmed her i personality or her voice. Bergman car- | ries the act over in a sort of a chummy j way. Then, when one feels they can do j no more, a man appars in one of the ! boxes and stops proceedings by singing j “Mammy" many times and in various : ways. Many curtain calls, encores and | a little talk by Mr. Bergman. A real j act with real people. Another gem of an act is the song offering of Gladys Buckridge and Billy Casoy. They are assisted by Arthur De Salva at the piano. Buckridge Is at his best while singing “Home Again Blues.” They are splendid exponents of making a song a pretty picture. They are rare artists in song and in obtaining pleasing stage effects. X’aio and Palet play many kinds of musical instruments which resulted In many onrores yesterday. A. Kobtns, to my way of thinking, is the best imitator on the stage today. He has always been a hit. Zuhn and Dreis, a couple of “nut comedians,” have a clever line of “nut” repartee. They get bushels of lac "hs. They got a bushel out of me. Mason and Cole are clever dSncers. Their wedding number is a dainty and pleasing affair. Cross and Santoro close the bill in a good demonstration of the benefits of physical training. Bayonne Whipple and Walter Huston arc funmakers of a class who are not frequently seen here. Their offering is called “Shoes,” which at times is satire, comedy, melody and even a morality sketch. Splendidly done. This bill at Keith's la a peach of a show.—W. 1). H. -|- .!. -|. RtBE ACT FEATURES NEW LYRIC BILL. Five men and a girl appear in the farce, “The Itubeville Fire Brigade.” which is the headliner in the vaudeville bill at the Lyric this week. . The srene is the "fire house” in a backwoods town, with the “chief” and the village postmaster lu a perpetual quarrel, while the chief's son and the postmaster’s daughter take part in a bashful love affair. The dialog includes several laughs, with singing and dancing thrown in for good measure. The Tasmanian troupe, five women who had been circus stars for a number of years, appear in gorgeous costumes in a series of aerobatic and tumbling bouts. They are experts and their work is done rapidly and well. The Three Kenna Sisters, a trio of clever misses in dainty costumes, win

admiration with their singing and dancing act. Bill and Bob Millard not only sing and offer a number of laughable wheezes, but do some difficult tricks with their bicycles. "Line’s Busy,” a comedy sketch, is presented by Haskett and Beach. Mr. Haskett appeared in Indianapolis several years ago with the Huntington stock company at English’s. “Line's Busy’ depicts in a farcical manner the trials of a hotel telephone operator. The bill includes Mumford and Stanley in a skit called “A Nickel Is a Nickel Linko and Linko, comedy jugglers, and Pei rill, a European shadowgraphlst. The movie offering is featured by a Monte Banks farce, “Ilis Dizzy Day,” the Bathe review and the Paramount magazine. -!- -I- -IA FASHION PARADE ONE OF LOEWS FEATURES. A fashion parade, other vaudeville arts and movies make up the second combination bill to be offered at Loew'g State. The photoplay, "The First Born,” is a thrilling tale dealing with the adventures of a Chinese, fisherman’s son, Chan Wang, which role is taken by Sessue Hayakawa His sweetheart, Loey Tsing. is torn from his embrace to be sold into slavery to a wealthy opium merchant in Chinatown. San Francisco, whose favorite she becomes. After a lapse of seven years time, Chan Wang, who does not know what becomes of his sweetheart, with his wife and son goes to America and settles in Chinatown. Chan Loy, the first born of Chan Wang, is the idol of his father's heart, and when after a series of complications the boy'is killed owing to the opium merchant's discovery that he is the old lover of Loey Tsing, Chan Wang swears vengeance on his son's death, which results In a series of thrll s for the spectators, with a satisfactory finale, however. The vaudeville bill includes an acrobatic stunt by the Summers Duo, in which some aerial features were present ed; Callen and Kenyon, harmonists, wh > sang a number of novelty songs; Ali Rajah and company, mind readers, wh > mystified the audience by telling them their ages and the price of their hats Hawthorne and Cook, bi'led most appropriately as “nut” comedians, and a color ful fashiou revile. In which the costumer built his gowns on his living models 1., fore the eyes of his audience. which resulted in some amazing and artistic creations. -I- -I- -I“BEAUTY TRUST” NOW AT THE I’IRK. Getting under way In a sanitarium on Long Island, N.
