HOUSE ACTS TO BACK PROGRAM OF PRESIDENT Adopts Measures for Rehabilitation of Agriculture and Railways. HOOSIER HANDLES BILL Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON. Aug 23 —The House acted yesterday to fulfill President Harding's program for the rehabilitation of the agricultural and railroad Industries of the country through the Instrumentality of the War Finance Corporation. It passed first with several changes the Senate bill to authorise the War Finance Corporation to extend credits up to one biUlon to exporters In order to stimulate foreign trade in American farm products. The Winslow bill to authorize the War finance Corporation to fund railroad securltie to the amount of $500,000,000 was adopted subsequently. A similar bill Is pending in the Senate, bnt probably will not be passed in that body before the recess planned to begin Wednesday. After defeating an amendment to the far mexport credit hill to provide for the purchase of s’-00,000,000 of farm loan bonds by the War Finance Corporation in Us foreign trade operations, the measure was adopted by a rote of 314 to 21. A motion offered by Representative Wlngo. Arkansas, to recommit the bill to the committee, sxn defeated by a vote of 1M to 136. Representative McFadden. Pennsylvania, chairman of tbe House Banking and Currency Committee, sub soqnently announced efforts would be made to reach an agreement with the Senate in time to complete consideration of the bill before the recess. Oniy afu- an acrimonious debate was tbe Winslow bill adopted by a vote of 214 to 123 after an amendment to strike from the bill provision to prohibit claims on account of “inefficiency of labor” was defeated by a rising vote of 145 to 17. PANDERS OF INDIANA IN CHARGE OF BIEL. Tbe amount remaining to h paid the railroads by the Government on account of claims arising out of th period of Federal control Representative Sanders. Indiana, who had charge of the bilE estimated at about $349.0(**,000. He said of the $1,108,000,000 In claims filed and remaining to be filed, settlements on $237,000.000 have been made by the Railroad Administration at an average rate of 31 cents on a dollar. The result has been the payment of about $74,000,000 on account of those claims, he said. I'pon the same basis, he said, the estimate was made tbe remainder of the claims amounting to shout 5850.000.000, probably would be settled for around $340,000,000. On the other band, he said, the rail roads were obligated to the Government for about seven hundred million dollars for improvements made by the Government during the period of Federal control. The object of the bill, as explained by him, is to authorise the refunding of this debt up to the amount of $300,000.000. "Tbe provision which permits tbe War Finam-e Corporation to purchase the securities will accomplish a very desirable purpose.” be said. "The necessary ready funds tbns can be placed In the hands of the President to wind up the affairs of Federal control and complete settlements with all the carriers that were under Federal control. RAH. FINANCES FORM BIG PART OF STRICTFRE. “Tbe War Finance Corporation then can market the securities in such blocks and at such times as appear most advantageous. Since the railroad properties in the I nifed States have an estimated value of eighteen to twenty million dollars. the railroad finances form a large part of the financial structure of the country and the problem of railroad financing therefore always must be one of solicitous concern. No one can doubt the beneficial economic effects of an announcement to the country that these settlements have been closed.” Representative IJevburn, Texas. Democrat. attacked the bill, declaring tbe railroa ’.s of the country should learn that the Government does not care to assume the burden of owning and operating them, but expects private operation to be sufficiently efficient to bring about a reduction of freight and passenger rates. "Just as long a we continue to make advances to the railroads.” he said, "they are going to be iu a position to ask for more.” SAYS IT TIME TO STOP ADVANCES. • Outling the stupendous amounts already advanced the railroads. Mr. Reyburn said it was time to call a half. He pointed out that only two witnesses bad been heard by tbe Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee on tbe bill and alleged it appeared to be the future policy of the Congressional Committee to withhold information from House members. The railroads, he said, have filed claims of every character. While IJepresentatives Hawes. Missouri, said the bill would aid in rehabilitating the entire economic life of the country by Increasing tbe business of tbe railroads and the number of men employed by them. Representative Jones. Pennsylvania, while favoring the bill, atti -m! tbe provision prohibiting claims on account of "inefficiency of labor.” What that expression meant, be said, no one seemed to know. Representative Newton. Minnesota; Merritt. Connecticut, and Husted. New 3 ork. defended the bill, and Representative Huddleston. Alabama, denounced the measure at length. “It is purely and simply a proposition to lend $500,000,000 of the people's money ont of the Treasury of the United States, to the railroads,” he said. "Are we going to subsidize tbe railroads of tne United States or are we to come to the rescue of the railroads whenever they are in difficulty?” BILL INVITES SPEC!LATION. The President's announcement that the Government would come to the aid of the railroads, he said, had been reflected in a rise In railroad securities on the stock market. "The bill.” he declared, “invited Congress to specnlte in the Wall street market.” “This bill will do more to hasten the day and make certain the day when railroads of the couitry will reduce rates than anything we could do.” Representative Mondell, Wyoming, Republican leader, declared "It will not increase the obligations of the Treasury Department.” Representative Winslow, Massachusetts, denounced Mr. Huddleston, alleging that as a rule the eont-ary of what he said was true.—Copyrigb , 1921, by Public ledger Cos.

HOOSIER NOVELIST AND PRESS AGENT WROTE A Comedy of Chorus Girl Love That Is a Credit to Indianapolis

Br WALTER D. HICKMAN. Indianapolis written and Indianapolis produced. That’s “Honor Bright,” a comedy which was brought to life last night by the Stuart Walker Company at the Murat after It had nestled for some time in the Imagination of Meredith Nicholson, Hoosler novelist and Kenyon Nicholson, known as “Nick,” who has been the press agent fer Mr. Walker for several seasons. Indianapolis and the whole State as well has every right to feel proud of the combined efforts of the two Nicholsons because they have turned out a sweet, light, clean, rapid, Interesting and, above all, a well-written love yarn with a clever "Jazzed up” ending. It is this rag-time touch which distinguishes this comedy from a thousand others. Sure it's a love yarn, but the "jaitzed,” saucy, rapid and sparkling dialog puts a trade-mark of the Nicholsons on a brand of stage entertainment whies to me Is vastly superior to “The Lottery Man” and heads and shoulders over • Wedding B41!s" as a composition. At times “Honor Bright" approaches the smartness of "Tea for Three ” The clever Romeo and Juliet bit in the first Bet of the Nicholson play between the Bishop and Honor Bright goes a wee hit over anything in “Tea for Three." Those who claim to know shows have raved for several seasons on the “tea” play, but it Is necssary to praise the coauthors of “Honor Bright" in developing a unique use of Shakespeare's love yarn. Then from this high level of the bard the authors by contrast introduces us to a chorus girl who uses language not approved by Webster and who smokes cigarettes and gusbs over the word “dearie.”’ She powders and paints and loves a pup dog. It is in introducing this chorus disturber that the Nicholsons hare put a "jazz” touch to this merry comedy. Then in tbe third act, the two authors have to rely upon the audience falling for a quick romance, but the ending seems reasonable because Honor Bright, the chief character of the comedy, is Rueb a dear that one can not help loving her. The authors have sacrificed the terrible last minute kiss and leaves one with the pleasant thought that when the moon eomes out at night that Honor will be kissed and muchly loved by Richard Barrington. The thing that made a home run with me last night was that the Niehoiaons have told their story with as little “padding' as possible and when they have told their yarn, they stop. The show will be brushed up in spots as It progresses and a few little more jewels of dialogue wilt he added. Even as “Honor Bright” stands now, it gave me, personally speaking, more satisfaction than “Dulcy” did last spring. I must tell you a’l about the “crys” for “Author, Authors." etc., which swept over {he house at the close of the second act. That grand and glorious Indianapolis Hoosier pride Just swept all over the Murat and after tbe proper length of time the two Nicholsons landed on the stage to receive a Just tribute at the hands of a magnificent Indianapolis audi ence. Mr. Meredith Nicholson explained that

HOOSIER PLAYWRIGHTS WIN LOCAL APPROVAL

Here are the pictures of Meredith Nicholson Cleft) a.id Kenyon Nichol-on (right), who are Ihe authors of "Honor Bright," an Indianapolis made and produced comedy, which was revealed for the first time on any stage at the Murat last night.

his “shy partner” was to have made the talk bnt that he would make it for both of them The novelist then thanked the audience for the reception, complimented the work and loyalty of the Walker players and expressed the hope that Stuart Walker would become a “permanent resident" of Indianapolis In time by presenting an all-rear organization. This went big with the audience and the elder Nicholson and young Nick were able to bow off the stage while the company came in for more applause. Here is the story of “Honor Bright” In a nutshell: Richard Barrington, of a very strict family as far as name, money and social standing goes, caught the wink of “Tot,” one of the naughty hoofers of a girl show. Tot saw a chance to spite her press agent lover and she accepts Richard. 7 hen Richard invites Tot to the very proper home of his mother, who happens to be enter taining Richard's aunt and uncle. Aunt Is rich and uncle is a bishop. A rich aunt has no love for a "chorus lady" and a bishop, really, he hopes only for the best. Just when Tot Is to arrive at the home of Richard's mother she stages a wild party in New York by “riding" the horse that George Washington occupies on a monument in the big city. The police arrive and Tot kicks a copper In his right optic. Tot fail* to arrive. Honor Bright, a sweet college girl who must sell books on knowledge to ray her wav through school, arrives on the scene and the good bishop mistakes her for the chorus "dame.” Honor is Induced to Impersonate the "awful” Tot when Richard agrees to buy a SIOO edi-

tion of tbe books she is selling. Things j got all mixed up. Tot arrives and there j is "thunder" to pay. Honor cure* Tot of her designs on Richard. Then Richard discovers that it is Honor whom he really loves. That's the framework of the comedy. It is brightened up by snappy repartee and clever situations. “Honor Bright' Is a Joy box containing many new and interesting toys to interest tli se who are “fed up” on the conventional ■romedy. Th cast as a whole Is magnificent. There were two big triumphs last night. The big bit was made by Marjorie Vonnegut as Honor. Indeed, I could not expect 'to gee any ouo attempt to play this part with more natural charm than Miss Vonnegut Imparts to the role. The other triumph was “Annie,” a maid, as j played by Dorothy McDonald. Here is a gem of natural comedy aiding.

The applause that greeted "The Rosebuds” at the Lyric yesterday was not the perfunctory recognition given to child actors. Ot the contrary. It was the recognition of genuine merit on the pajt of the seven diminutive yerformers“Tbe Rosebuds" are three girls and four boys, all of a “vee’’ age, who dan.es and sing with all the poise and self-con-fidence of their elders. Grace Is not lacking in their dancing in fact, one pair of the youngsters shows fine promise In their dancing act. They have personality that is unusual In child performers, and they earn their applause. The Kee Tow Four appear In oriental clothest and have an original background, but they have a number of popular airs and old melodies that make them the mol's acceptable. Ogden and Benson supported their part of tbe musical pro gram with several new songs which were well received. They furnish their music consisting of a piano, and their duet meets with strong approval. Black-faced comedians supplied some comedy that was well approved. Armstrong and Ja’mes are the cork artists, and they keep up a clever line of run during their act. Kelso and Lane have an unusual song and danoe act that does a big share of the entertaining. Tbelr feature song is a novelty, and their dancing is above the average. The Dancing Hagans open tbe bill with a number of dances, old and new. Gene and Myrtlo Conroy also have a dancing acf. Emile and Wylie close the bill with an unusual acrobatic act. They perform on two rings that are balanced on a paral lei bar, and on, these, they do their feats of strength and balancing. Those acts will be shown at the Lyric all this week. -I- -|- ON VIEW TODAY AT THE MOME HOUSES.
