CITY COUNCIL S ‘SWAN SONG’ DUET: NEXT MEETING

Last Regular Session of Year Will Be Held Monday Night.

Unless unexpected business arises between now and Jan. 2, the present city council will sing its “swan song" at the regular meeting Monday night. This will be the last regular meeting of the year and of the present administration. The new council takes office with Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank on Jan. 2. The only business of importance expected to come before the council is an attempt to pass the ordinance authorizing a bond issue of $125,000 for the remodeling of the city market and consideration of the ordinance raising the building height limit in Monument Place. The council's records also will be cleared of any minor matters whieh may be discovered to have been hanging fire. Most of the record-clearing work was dispatched at the special meeting last Monday evening. Mayor-Elect Shank this week requested Councilman Jesse E. Miller, slated for city purchasing agent in the new administration, to try to get the council to authorize the market house bond issue so that the money would be available for the incoming board of public works to let contracts for the market remodeling early in January to provide work for unemployed men. President Russell Willson of the coun cil said that Mr. Miller has conferred with him upon the matter and that he favors passage of the measure. It was Introduced last spring but failed because the anti-administration wing voted against it. Mr. Willson was for it at that time and said today that he could not oppose it now. "We paid the money for the architects who drew the plans and got the plans prepaved and I think it would be proper for us to authorize the bond issue so as to clean the matter up,” he declared. PLAXS CALL FOR MANY IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Shank told Councilman Miller that he beliebed the remodeling plans already prepared constitute what he would like to see done to the market house. The plans call for the establishment of a modern comfort station in the basement on the Delaware street side, new concrete floors, standard counter legs such as would permit washing of the floors with fire hose, renovation and redecorating of walls, new plumbing and installation of a modern incinerator for refuse disposal. The ordinance relating to Circle building heights would raise the limit from 86 to 124 feet, permitting erection of buildings as high as ten stories. Six stories is the limit possible under the present restriction. The G. A. K. and the Monument board of control have been counselling delay upon the ordinance In the fear that an Increase in luilding heights would dwarf the monument. The matter was laid before the city plan 'commission last week and it was recommended that nothing be done until competent architects can study and pass upon it. Mayor Charles W. Jewett feels the same way. President Willson said that personally he had no objection to letting the matter rest until an expert study of the problem is made but that he feels that it demands solution in the near future. “I am not opposed to delay if the delay is not too long.” said President Willson. “Some ordinance raising the building limit to a proper height, a height which would In no way damage the monument setting, ought to be passed.” It Is understood that the councilmcn are likely to turn the session into a “fun night" after the business is out of the way.

LOCAL PLAYERS ENTERTAIN AT LITTLE THEATER ‘Androcles and the Lion ’ by Bernard Shaw Makes Hit With Patrons. “Andy” and his friend, the lion, tied for honors in the Little Theater presentation of Bernard Shaw’s famous satire, “Androcles and the Lion,” in the Masonic Temple last evening. Rolla Taleott as Androeles gave one of the most finished characterizations that has ever been given by the local Thespians. As the timorous tender-iiearted tailor he kept his audience In a constant chuckling condition. aided and abetted by the ludicrous lion whose gestures and facial expression could scarcely have been bettered. Ralph F. Thompson claimed the lion’s share of the entertainment. The play Is rather a one-man act for in spite of the exceedingly large east there is little opportunity for any others than the two of the title roles. Mr. Talcot did not for one moment forget his part : his performance showed that he had not only studied his character but that he knows Shaw, and it was Shaw’s own Androcles that upheld the honor of the tailors by courageously facing the Hon whose meal he was to be. The plot of the play is familiar to most folk, being the story of the shrinking tailor who, while fleeing from Rome to escape persecution, being a Christian, incidentally happens upon a lion with a thorn in its paw. Having an overwhelming love for animals, and sight of the suffering lion makes him forget his fear of the beast, and he extricated the thorn to the effusive joy and relief of the forest monarch, which incident forms a prolog. The scenes that follow show the Coliseum with the Christians assembled for martyrdom. The women are to be eaten by the lions and the men are to fight the Roman gladiators. They can gain their freedom only by worshiping the Roman gods. They refuse to do so. Neither will they tight the gladiators, or even don armor. Ferrovius’ fighting blood, however, gets the best of liim and he makes mince meat of the lot. Thereupon the emperor declares his conviction that if Christians can fight so well all his gladiators must become Christians. He even invites the Christians into seats reserved for his personal friends. The menagerie keeper, however, reminds him that the people have been promised a spectacle. He dooms Androcles to be eaten. Androcles enters the arena and the very lion comes forth, roaring, to devour him when 10, the beast gets a good look at “Andy” and hails him as a long lost savior for ’tis none other than the selfsame lion of the thorn. After a hilarious change of high signs, the Hon embraces Androcles and the two leave the arena arm in arm, to the open mouthed wonder of the mob and the emperor. Lavinia, the only feminine role of any prominence was taken by Mrs Elizabeth Bogert Schofield, who gave a very pleasing portrayal of the spirited feminine Christian martyr. Magaera, the wife ot Androcles who appear In the prolog, was played by Mrs* Eunice Jameson Fierce iri dashing fashion. Ferrovius. the gigantic Christian whose methods of getting converts to Christianity are decidedly drastic, was splendidly played by L. II Murrhie. whose powerful build added to the effectiveness of his clever acting. Ralph (>. IVAlbert as the gallant cap tain, in love with I.avlnlu. Walter Lieber as the Centurion. Larry Fletcher as the emperor together with all the members of the cast give splendid support. Asa curtain raiser a small comedy "The Constant Lover” was given In splcey style by Mi-s Hildergarde Planner ns the girl. Evelyn Rivers, and Jack Harding as the youth, Cecil Harhiirton. who were delightful In their rules of frivolous youthfulness. REVIVE ANCIENT CHURCH CUSTOM Midnight Play to Rehearse Story of Xativity. The Little Theater Society of Indianapolis will revive an ancient, custom of the medieval churches In presenting at midnight on Christmas Eve a mystery play which rehearses the story of the Nativity. This will lie given in Sculpture Court at. the John Herron Art Institute, and will be accompanied by the carol singing which characterized the Christmas celebrations of the middle ages. Because of the extra music which is to lie a part of the bill, the audience is requested to he seated by 11:45.

CHILDREN WILL ASK SANTA NOT TO FORGET POOR Youthful Methodists Plan World-Wide Christmas Celebration.

Children of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Indiana*are planning a worldwide Christmas offering this year that will kindle anew in the minds of children of many countries the childish faith that a jolly saint still lives, whether he be called Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas or just plain Santa Claus. A collection at Christmas time has long been the custom, but this year it was decided to devote the offering to that part of the centenary program that ministers to the welfare of childhood and youth. Bishop Frederick D. Leeto, who presides over the Indiana area visited many of the orphanages and relief centers in Europe this summer before he attended the ecumenical conference in London. "In more than thirty French villages in the Marne River Valley, all of which lay in the path of the war, Methodist work In the form of relief and recreation is rapidly going forward,” he said. “Cha-teau-Thierry, with its two tumble-down bridges and its roofless and dilapidated houses is the center of this social service. By the river side, between bridges, stands the Methodist memorial and social center. KIDDIES TAKE LIFE LIGHTLY. “In the upper story of this large building are wee beds. In one, a tiny body lay sleeping while Us mother earned her daily bread. In another, a tot played with a toy as if life held nothing serious. In still another, one peeped roguishly, all ready to be friends, for no one is a foreigner to baby boys. They tug at your heart, these babies, just as American kiddies do ’round about Christmas time. Only, across the waters, there are millions of children who will have no Santa Cla'us to visit them. "Large buildings erected by the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross during the war have been taken over and eight recreational centers established. Each building accommodgtes about 2,000 people. Large cooking stoves, sewing machines. dispensaries, day nurseries or babyfolds and moving pictures are provided. While the parents are at work rebuilding, little folk are fed, taught and : generally cared for by social worker#. ORPHANAGES NEAR MOUNT VESUVIUS. "Close under Mt. Vesuvius at Portici, on the shore of the Bay of Naples, j Methodism, under the direction of Dr. | Bertram M. Tipple, has established one of its several Italian orphanages. It is known as the Casa Materna or mother’# home: maintained for about 400 boye and girls and knows no bounds of locality or race. “The Italian government has assigned to our Methodist people thirty-two j villages in the Trlntino River valley. During the battles between Italy and Austria, these places were literally shot to pieces. In seven recreational center#, fifty social workers are busy creating a spirit of good will and good cheer and taking care of the physical needs of the ! children.” Bishop Lcete said that the centenary ; and the children's fund is being distributed in Europe under the direction of Bishop Anton Bast at Copenhagen, Bishop John L. N'uelsen of Zurich and Bishop Edgar Blake of Paris. He also spoke of his visit to Bishop Nuelsen iD Switzerland where Methodist fresh air camp? receive women and children from Austria and Germany, who are suffering rom tuberculosis. Relays of 8,(Kill women and children are sent to these camps for an average stgy of six weeks. Club Index Aftermath Club —Tuesday. Hostess, Mrs. C. S. Rhoads, 2403 North Pennsylvania street.
