COURT allows check worker anew chance —headline. Anew chance to do what? BOOZE is now being transported in cocoanuts. That is the whole thing in a nutshell. THOSE PERSONS who were poisoned by drinking varnish might now try some “varnish remover.’' ISN’T IT STRANGE that a man should be defeated for the presidency of a coantry that is not a republic? IT IS rather embarrassin;; to have the results of an examination in which one has participated given to the public in such a prominent manner. A MAN who doesn t know what was done in his behalf when he was a candidate could hardly be considered sufficiently prudent to be a Senator. The Senatorial Race The announcement by Charles A. Bookwalter that Senator New will positively return to Indiana to make the fight for renomination and reelection to the Senate regardless of what happens to Harding’s Cabinet assures a primary fight that will be most entertaining to the State. There seems to be no doubt that Albert J. Beveridge will oppose Mr. New. The plan that has been outlined for Mr. Beveridge is the creation of a “spontaneous demand” for his candidacy from all parts of the State to which he will reluctantly yield when the pressure becomes strong enough. Right now are a large number of interested politicians beating up the “spont atffous demand.” Mr. New will have the advantage of an organization second to none that has ever been built in Indiana. Mr. Beveridge will have the advantage of a general dislike for such powerful machines as New w ill build and we will dwibtless hear much of “the people” and the “bosses.” third aspirant can be injected into the race, which seems probable, will have to be made on the convention floor and there are P£%j|jrpossibilities in that. At one time it is known that James P. Goodrich, Bpmer Governor of Indiana, planned to corral delegates -who would support pim as a compromise candidate in event of a deadlock in the convention. Judge Arthur R. Robinson may be the third party in a primary race and as such he would cut considerably into the support Mr. Beveridge is expecting. His candidacy would probably insure a convention fight for the nomination as Mr. Robinson could easily control enough votes to make it impossible for either New or Beveridge to receive a majority in the primary. As is usual in State primaries, Marion County will be a battle grounds. There is considerable speculation as to where the support of the Shank administration will be in event of a three-cornered fight. At this -writing it appears that the Shank forces would be divided, and the problem of how to unite them behind Senator New doubtless led the Senator to the selection of Mr. Bookwalter as his Marion County manager. >Jn Mr. Bookwalter's hands Senator New will be a formidable candidate in Marion County. A Hotter of Honor The conference on the limitation of armaments has, in effect, agreed that war cannot be made so repulsive that human beings will not engage in it It agreed to this when it agreed that poison gas and asphyxiating gas should be outlawed. This is one of the greatest steps forward takon by the conference. Chemists engaged in producing poisons to be used in warfare and some military leaders fought the adoption of such an agreement. They contended that through the manufacture of poisonous gases and other poisons war would be made so horrible that human beings would not engage in it. They failed, however, to point out any precedent on which to base their statements. They could point to nothing In the World War that was too horrible to be used as a means of destruction. The agreement not to use poisonous gases in warfare depends entirely on the belief that there is honor among nations. Navies can be limited by threats of force, but such tactics could hardly prevent the manufacture of poison gas. Poison gas can he manufactured very easily and quickly without attracting much attention. In some 0 f its forms it has long been manufactured commercially and must continue to be so manufactured. On one form of poison gas that was used extensively in the World War most cities are dependent for a pure water supply. For these reasons it will be easy for any nation to break its agreement. It is wholly a matter of honor. Prohibition This is the open season for statistics on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of prohibition and, as usual, these figures varv widely, according to the source from which they are gleaned and the community concerned, hut what all persons in a position to learn anything about general conditions know is that prohibition is neither as effective as its advocates had hoped it would be, nor as ineffective as the “wet” interests felt sure it would be, but that, also prohibition to a large extent actually prohibits. There are laws prohibiting murder, larceny and bank robbery, but there still are murders, theft and hank hold ups. The prohibition of these crimes does not work out perfectly. So, in spite of the many laws prohibiting the barter, sale, importation and manufacture of intoxicating liquor, much liquor still is being drunk, particularly in large cities, but what person who is acquainted with the circumstances and is honest with himself, actually believes that the total amount of liquor consumed actually amounts to more than a very small percentage of that drunk when the United States was Ailed with legalized bars? Those who wish to buy liquor and are not particular as to the kind are pretty generally able to buy it if they are fairly well acquainted in a community and sometimes when they are not, but obtaining it is usually sufficiently difficult to prevent the average man from indulging his appetite in the forbidden liquid very often. The high prices, too, have discouraged him and a still more discouraging thing is the vileness of most of the concoctions that can be bought. You may still buy intoxicants of a kind, but the places where they are sold are not found every few doors as they were In the old days, nor are those which exist clothed with the respectability of a legal institution as once they were. Instead they are outlaws and the average man who enters one of the places is likely to have a feeling akin to that of the outlaw. It is true enough that prohibition does not prohibit absolutely, and it probably is true that it never will so long as alcohol can be made with comparative ease by almost anybody, but it likewise is so that the prohibition laws even In the centers of population where they are poorly enforced, have reduced the consumption of liquor by 90 per cent and more.— Muncie Press. Why Is a Dog? Tacoma has anew crusade—-a crusade to banish the dog, or at least to place him in permanent durance. Dogs are a nuisance. So say good citizens to the number of some 300 who have signed a petition to the city council asking that the community be saved from a direful rate at the hands, or rather at the paws, of man’s historic friend. In the interests of good morals, and of lawns, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the council is urged to suppress the canine. The dog threatens to destroy the beauties of nature. The dog menaces the desirability of Tacoma as a place of residence. The dog is prone to “chase chickens,” and in the interest of good morals should be abolished. The dog gets our rabbits. The dog gets our respective goats. Every dog is “a potential murderer.” The indictment is indeed terrible. But somehow, there are’ a lot of us who, when we read it, will turn memory's pages back to boyhood days and find there a dog—Just common dog, no pedigree nor nothing. No matter where you went, you rememter his supremest joy was to be allowed to go along.

HER NAME IS ANN AND SHE DANCES A SOUTH SEA DANCE ‘ln a Pest House’ Is a Comedy Gem — Stock at Broadway—Jazzology at Lyric

And her name is Ann. Ann how much? Miss Ann Pennington. The audience last night at English’s called her Ann, So I guess X can today. Ann makes her first appearance with George White’s Scandals on a big tambourine and her nimble toes seem to want to twinkle on the big tambourine. In a few seconds, Ann Is twirling and whirling on the big “tam.” Then in a smart travesty called “Samson and Delilah Ballet.” Ann is Delilah, who thinks that Samson’s strength rests in his hair. Oh, modern reader, White j tells you,ln his new Scandals that Sam- > son's strength rests not in his hair but in 1 a flask on his hip. That the pretty ana shivering Ann Delilah discovers by pulling off his wig. Behold! Sum is as strong as ever. Then he tells her about the flask on his hip. She swipes the flask and poor Sam loses all of his strength. They chain him to two large pillars and Sam is a very weak gentleman until somebody feeds him a raisin aDd in the words of Lou Holtz, who explains the ballet from a box between puffs of a cigarette, Sam “ferments strength.” Gosh, how Sam does “ferment.” He becomes so strong on one little raisin that he just destroys the old temple. Gosh, how he tears everything up. (Moral—be careful of raisins if you wear a wig.) Then as the lively and not all together j : innocent proceedings proceed, Ann apI pears as a South Sea Dancer. Her feet are nearly bare. Surrounding her are maidens in simple native attire. Am told in this island that corsets are not i necessary. After seeing this dance, I believe what I hear. This, dance made the audience South Sea Island worshipers. Gosh, how they applauded. (How we do like our travelog stuff these days j when the travel is nearl all motion). Then as proceedings proceed a little j further on their noisy and swift progress , of flight, our Ann becomes a "baby” in a big high chair. There are other babies in other chairs. The name of the song is “Just a Baby.” It held up proceedings last night. That is Ann Pennington as she appears in White’s Scandals. She is pretty of face and of figure. They welcomed Ann last night as if Indianapolis was her home town. She knows what the boys and girls want in the entertainment line and she gives it to them in big doses. In the Scandals she is one of the big hits. I might as well consider the “hits" in writing on this subject. A woman called Aunt Jemima, a large and melodious ex - \ ponent of the jazz songs, threw the show > all out of gear last night, stopped pro- j erodings until she sang the Jazziest of jazz blues. Auntie stopped proceedings j in tho funn3 - divorce courtroom scene. Then in a scene mostly by herself, she registered one of the biggest triumphs of j the show. Lou Holtz found the going mighty easy last night and Judging the way he was received. Holtz is inable to offend any I one with his broad Jokes and songs, i some of which are rough and suggestive. | But they seemed to “howl” for more last j night and llolts obliged by getting a little “ruffer” after each outburst of ap- j provnl. Personally. Iloitz gives me more | of this sort of stuff than I cared for from any one on the American stage. I must ! remember that Holtz speaks the language i of the day and the people seem to want j to hear the language of the hour in- ! stead of the words of yesterday. As far ns popular approval is concerned (and wbat does a critic amount to anyway) Holtz is one member of the big hit trio of the Scandals. He is giving the Scandals audiences what they want and he gives it to them a plenty. *( I have the hunch that Holtz Is the heat talking advertisement that this show has because people will talk about Holtzs - parodies ) Because of the illness of I-estcr Allen, the comedian with the show, George i White stepped in and attempted to fill I Allen's place. Under the circumstances, ! White made a heroic effort and was able j to get tiy with the task i George White's Scandals is a pretty, ; smart, colorful, rapid and up to-the-min- | ute attempt to enter'ain. It is my opinion that White has never offered a Scandal production which pleased so many playgoers. And that is saying a whole j lot these days. i There is a whole lot about this show tiiat 1 haven't told you about. If I am not wrong. English's will be packed for the rest of the week. Forgot to tell you, that the last scene in the Scandals, called “The White Woods.” is a triumph in stage beauty. The Panama scene is a twin sister to the woods scene for beauty. If you are looking for the last word in smart and rapid revues - Well, English’s is the place for you this week.— W. D. H. -!- -!- -IRt RING WHICH U K SI !

the result-—there Is no limit to one's mirth. Even when he gets into his room and the wall paper reminds him of the map of Russia and then when he discovers that the aged porter has been hiding coal in the bed, I am sure that you will agree with me that the limit in the fun has about been reached, but before you are aware of it, the fun lever hag been turned loose again. I am writing this review some hours after seeing this act and I am willing to testify that I still am chuckling 1 . This act is worth the price of admission to Keith's this week. “Prescott” and Hope Eden, billed as the “Miracle Girl," is a mind-reading act. The only thing which distinguishes the act from the regular run of this sort of stuff is that Miss Eden does not act like she is in a trance, but appears to be as sweet and as unaffected as a school girl. The couple works very fast in telling one what is on ones mind—if anything. Jim Williams is another contribution to the nut variety which seems to be the rage this season. His grand opera bit is by far the best of his attempts to amuse. Dolly Kay is booked as "Syncopation’s Clever Exponent." Personally, I can not agree with the billing because her work is too forced and unnatural. Everybody cannot sing a jazz song. Oils must remember that the memory of the exquisite work of Miss Marion Harris is still with me. The bill opens in a unique way with Herman and Shirley In “The Mysterious

JAZZ ORCHESTRA LEADS PROCEEDINGS AT THE LYRIC. “Jazzology" is tho title of the headline act at tiie Lyric this week. This offeri ing consists of a five-man jazz orchestra, j a clever male dancer who immitates Pat Rooney and George White. There is n girl who sings ‘‘.Strut Miss Lizzie" and other jazz songs. Tills act will find much favor with the lovers of Jazz syncopation. Jack Case, a black face single, scored solidly with his songs and stories. lie has a pleasing voice and has chosen songs which he knows how to “put over” to , advantage. | Prince and Bell have some cleverly j written material which they handle under the title of "Two A. M.” ft deals with a sorority girl, returning from a dance, who has had difficulty with her automobile. She is escorted home by a cabaret entertainer who happens along. The girl plays piano and both sing well. A good not. The Rose Boys nnd Girls sing some ; high clnss songs and play the piano. Their unaffected manner and pleasing voices place them in the position of being considered seriously as Important nnd meritorious entertainers on the current bill at the Lyric. Weston and Young sing some songs and do some dancing. Their laugh number (for which they are well known) had tiie whole audience laughing. They wore well received. Earl and Mullen have a very pretty drop which aids them In presenting n neat song and dance turn. Their ee-

centric dancing was well received. Rose and Schaffner are two men with a line of patter about prohibition and politics. The comedy member of the team gets lots of laughs out of r long line of nonsensical reasoning on politics. Pauline and Francis open the bill with a musical act. The current bill at tho I,yric Is a “smart” affair and is notable because it does not contain either an animal act or an acrobatic turn. -I- -I- -ICHATtLES ROBINSON IS WITH US AGAIN AT THE PARK. A “tramp” comedian is holding sway at the Park this week because Charles Robinson and his “Parisian Flirts” ar> on view all week. Robinson is one of the best known othe tramp comedians on the extravaganza stage. Although this class of stage character is fast disappearing, yet Robinson has made his tramp character a sort of a living institution. * In this year's edition of the “Flirts,” Robinson is seen to advantage in a courtroom scene. He shows his versatility by playing a Jewish peddler role in the second act. Irving Lewis, Andy Martini and Ralp’ Smith have no ''trouble pleasing wit their comedy work as a trio. May Bern hardt is tha featured woman player and she gets over nicely, as does Mabe< Lea and Freda Lehr.

ori how many happy homes they have wrecked during the vacation. Miss Myra Cullen is one of the nmd rn maidens who attends this school for scandal. Miss Cullen appears in many scenes In White’s Scandals now at English’s.

There nre several specialties which help to make a pleating entertainment. The chorus ms “ponies" and show girls as attractions of this kind had years ago. Tin* chorus is well trained The costumes, scenery and music nre up to the standard one would expect in a Charles Robinson show. At the Park all week. -I- -I- -ISTOCK COMPANY MAKES HID lOR FAVOR AT BROADWAY. The amusement field has been broadened in tills city by the opening of the Cordon Kelly Stock Company (no way related or connected with Gregory Kelly nnd his company at the Broadway. This company is now in Its first week at the Broadway. The current bill is a light nnd well mannered comedy presented under the name of "The Love I’irnte.” In his opening statement, Mr. Coulter speaking for the company, made it clear that the company hopes to make the Broadway a permanent stock company the year round. He stated that it was the desire of the management to give satisfactory prices ranging from 25 cents to 50 cents. It will be the policy of the Kelly stock company to chnnge hills once n week, with matinees on Wednesday nnd Saturday nnd with evening performances each night of tho week. Mr. Coulter explained that It is the aim of the company to present clean and entertaining bills so that all classes of audiences can freely patronize the productions of tiie company. On next Sunday afternoon the bill will be "Old Kentucky,” and the company will be enlarged to meet the demands of the story.

Foreign Leaders Slight American Composers

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RAYMOND G. CARROLL. NEW YORK, Jan. 10. —So seldom i3 an American composer recognized by the average foreign leader of the various socalled American orchestras that doing so has the color of a real event in the musical world. Emerson Whithorne is a Clevelander and a descendant of the family of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Among his accomplishments Mr. Whithorne composed the music for a second edition of “The Typhoon,” which was produced by Lawrence IrVmg in London. He became deeply impressed by John Hay’s "Castilian Days” and several years ago wrote a symphonic fantasy based upon that literary product which he called “In the Court of Pomegranates.” He tried in vain to have it played at the Metropolitan opera house for the ballet there and to get it over with various orchestra leaders throughout the country. STRANSKY AN EXCEPTION. However, Stransky, of the Philharmonic orchestra, is the exception having in the last eleven years produced the works of sixty American composers. And it is Stransky who is to give the Whithorne novelty this week, sandwiching it in between Strauss and Wagner. Mr. Whithorne also has written a symphonic suite called “New York Days and Nights,” which is still seeking an orchestra to play it. The late Charles Griffea of New Jersey labored for twelve years without gett'ng a showing. Through the instrumentabty of Busoni, the pianist, shortly before Griffe’s death, Monteux had the Boston Symphony orchestra play one of his works, and belated recognition was given to a truly gifted composer. Walter Cramer of New York, in 1910 did a symphonic rhapsody for violin and

BUYING MAP IN LONDON TAKES REAL PATIENCE Purchaser Must First Get I iss From His Majesty’s Office of Works. LONDON, Jan. 10. It befeil that I | wanted to buy a map. It was a map of Richmond Park, one of the great beauty J spots on the outskirts of London, the pilgrimage of every American and the spot whither Turner proceeded to paint his immortal sunsets. And I d.scovered ; that the British government had for sale ; j perfectly charming map. So I went to the institution known as Ilis Majesty's Stationery Office. And certainly it did not seem to move much. | Anyhow, after a long wait, a young gentleman, complete with half consumed cigarette behind ear and out of elbows coat, came forward and asked my business. I told him. j “We don't sell maps,” he replied, ; somewhat acid y. Go to His Majesty's i oflice of works." i And there 1 went. On the doo- v there was a somewhat belligerent genf.eman. : resplendent in medals. lie asked my business. 1 said I wanted a map. “You want a pass.” said he. “No,” I said, “I want a map.” “Well,” said be, "you can’t have a map without a pass.” IIE APPLIED FOR PASS. So 1 succumbed and duly C. led in a form, giving my name in full, private and business addresses and place of birth, and was formally warned that I could not leave the building again unless same document was produced to a properly accredited official. Then I went np to the first floor and found three important gentlemen, who disclaimed all knowledge of the sale of maps in that building. But then I met a fourth who had an inspiration. “You ought to see the bailiff of the royal parks." he said. And I liked this title. I had read and heard a lot about bailiffs as people who would grab one's household goods on ! the smallest provocation, but it seemed I that one with a title like this must be a ! real kindly, expansive personality. Finally I found him. And I said: “I want ! a map.” He took his eyeglass out of his eye. “When do you want it?” he asked. “Now,” said I. "But,” he said, "this is really unusual. We don't usually sell maps here on the spur of the moment. Your proper procedure is to write to us and say the nature of the mnp required, and then In due course we reply stating the price of tho map and Informing you that on receipt of your remittance the map will be sent to you at our early convenience.” “But we want it now,” said I. “Well, of course,” said he. “if you really insist, you had better go g:id see my second chief deputy assistant. He knows all about these things.” A MAP—AT LAST. Accordingly I climbed three more floors —lift not working—wandered through several enormous, but mainly vacant drawing offices, and, after waiting half an hour, I saw the second chief deputy assistant, I told him my requirement. "Yes," he said, “it Is a beautiful map. I did it In 1918. But would you rathe* not have the map I have Just completed of Greenwich X’ark? That is a real gem. Or look at this man of Hampton Court? Now, I’m proud of that!” “I want a map of Richmond Park,” I said. “Very well," he replied, “if you really ! Insist. Would you like the thin paper I edition at two shillings (about 38 cents) ! or the folded one on linen, at two shil- i lings and sixpence?” I took the latter and gave him a ten- j shilling note. After a quarter of an ! hour he returned with three shillings and sixpence in sliver and four shillings In coppers. "There doesn't seem much change about here," he said. I agreed. But I got that map ir a little under r.n hour and twenty minutes.

orchestra and only recently had It produced by Kathleen Partow. the violinist, and even then without the orchestra. I.ouis Gruenberg's winning of the SI,OOO prize for the bee* orchestra symphony given by the Angel of the New York Symphony orchestra ought to demonstrate that great talent is domiciled ia the United States. His “The Hill of Dreams,” is a work of art. WORK OF AMERICANS REJECTED. When one contemplates the pain of having to sit for hours through the playing of “Old Stuff,” written by Europeans, most of whom had their works played when they were young, the realization that probably equally fine orchestra scores written by native-born Americans are being constantly rejected is not pleasing, especially in view of tho knowledge that the subscribers and supporters of the various orchestras are the best American families. Fnnny Hurst, the writer, and her husband comprise only one of an increasing number of “dual household” couples in Manhattan. John Kitchen, friend of John Drew and former leader of cotillions In Chicago, also maintains a separate home Irom that of bis wile, Frances Cameron, who succeeded Ethel Jackson in the original “Merry Widow” oompany, and an rttraclve brunette seen last year in “Ax'gar.” They have a common address, 157 West FiftySeventh street, but Mrs. Kitchen is the occupant of an apartment on the tenth floor. while Mr. Kitchen holds rnidifp”ted sway in an apartment on the eleventh floor. The Kitchens have rules governing their marital existence. One is they rarely meet before midday, the head of the family, if not the house, commuting in for luncheon from the floor above. Before his marriage last June Mr. Kitchen was considered Chicago's champion bachelor. He is a broker and is 65.

In the same street with the Kjtehens at 38 East has been established a resfauraunt where one can be waited upon by a Russian general, the former military governor of Moscow. I dropped in there this afternoon to verify the report, and was agreeably surprised at having our “Zabouska” (hors-d'oeuvre) and “bortch” (beet soup) served by Maj. Gen. Theodore Lodijen-ky. late of the imperial Russian army, a distinguished looking man of about 50. Mr. Lndijensky. as he prefers to be called, for he is on the road to full American citizenship, arrived in New York two and a half years ago. He came in flat broke. If he had been In the steerage instead of the first cabin ha nrohabiy would have been held up at Ellis Island and deported for the lack of the necessary SSO. Once landed, he immediately set himself to the task of finding a job. In Russia before the advent of Lenin and Trotski he had owned a string of race hones. Fie knew the care of horses from Its direction. Thus It came that went to work as a stable man for tho American Railway Express. He afterward worked in a shipyard. Meantime his wife opened a millinery shop at the address where the restaurant is now located. He waited on the customers in the evenings. Then they leased the entire building and took in roomers upon the throe upper floors. Finding that there was still a hiatus In the common purse covering the overhead, they have opened the restaurant. All three industries are running—millinery shop, boarding house and Russian restaurant. In contrast is the life in America of Baron Leopold Popper of Vienna, where he was regarded as a Beau Brummel, riding in the Schonbrunn Park with members of the imperial Austrian family, and clicking his heels along the rlng-strasse in the company of Franz I.ehar. Emmerich Kalman and other Viennese composers. Bar. n Popper is the husband of Madame Jerltza. the sensational prims donna of the Metropolitan Opera House, and they live in a surup'uous suite upon the tenth floor of the Hotel St. Regis, looking out upon gay Fifth avenue. They are often in the afrernoon promenade on the avenue. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
