V THE MOVIES seem to affect those who produce them more than they affect the small boy about whom the censors worry so much. A METHOD has been found to bring Grover Bergdoll back to the United States, according to* imports. Who wants him over here? “ the DEMOCRATS don’t intend to slight any one. They seem to have put all the members of the party on the editorial banquet reception committee. THE SUGGESTION that the German debt be cancelled is made by Eddie Rickenbacker. What’s the difference?

Evidently they do not intend to attempt to change public opinion this time. ' ' A GOLF CLUB exclusively for women is being formed in New York. I* is reliably reported that there will be no rule forbidding talking while a member is making a difficult shot. — > The Soldiers Back Pay The United States Congress has again taken up the question of back pay to the U. S. soldier, drafted to fight in the late European war. If Congress was in earnest it would not disgrace the soldiers by calling it a "bonus bill.’’ It should be called a back pay bill. Either the whole U. S. owes our boys for fighting for our country at one-fourth the price paid for common laborers, or our country owes tnem nothing but gratitude for their services. The thousands of (families with Gold Stars in their windows care little about what Congress does; nothing will bring home their dead. The hundreds of thousands of gassed, shell-shocked, wounded and drugged young men are still with us and need their back pay, and it s a crying 6hame they have no chance of getting it, except through politics. I expect this Congress will pass some bill, for vote-getting purposes, providing something, but don’t you wait to get the money. It s an old trick worked by many a Congressman, to get a bill through to put up a postoffice building or dredge a stream, or spend some United States Government money in his district, and go home and be elected on account of his "hard work for his district,’’ and then Congress never appropriates the money and the work is never done. There will be some string tied t the “soldiers’ bonus’’ bill, although the string may not be in sight. the rch IrKC 'ho w <ula have to pay the taxes, like Secretary jjwkie Treasury Mellon, have made up their minds they will not do It, 4*2®hat ends it. 3i*g*ie most unfortunate class, however, are those who came home from wounded or unable to work again, from a thousand and one irF&ts. You cannot doubt the real desire on the part of our country to da Ke right thing by these men, but so far the results have been nil the amount of money spent millions and millions. There was and still is one practical way to take care of our wrecked men, and that is to turn them over to the Red Cross and our Government appropriate whatever money the Red Cross needs in this department. An army organization is only a wrecking crew—it is only organized to kill and destroy, and is wholly unfit to build up and restore The Army is always a machine attached to the party In power—the Red Cross is not a political organization, but functions to restore and save life. By all means let us turn over all our United States hospitals to the Red Cross and support them by Government appropriation. My advice to the ex-soldier is; Don’t spend your back pay tin til you get it. Dqn t count on it for the next four years at least. You may get it some day farmer and middle classes in the United States can foot the bill, but you know how hard up they are at the present time. I have not heard of a single farmer who has been able to chip in $700,000 to grand opera the *past year, but the head of the Harvester machinery trust has not only been able to do this, but also to get a divorce, which is quite- expensive when a man is very rich. Naturally this class is opposed to back pay for the soldier. —\V. D. Boyce in the Saturday Blade, Chicago.

The Railroads * Condition Those citizens of Indianapolis who have been induced by lying propaganda to regard as plausible the statements that the Government-returned railroad property is in worse condition than when it took it over for war purposes need not leave the city to see how mistaken they are. For, as W. G. McAdoo points out in his recent statement to the Senate committee, the railroads boasted that in 1920 they handled the greatest volume of traffic in their history, and that boast was made in In-, dianapoiis as elsewhere. Mr McAdoo very effectively calls on them now to explain how it was possible for them to function so well in 1920, as has been asserted, if the Government turned back their equipment in a wrecked condition. Further, Mr. McAdoo points out that the railroads, under Government control, were operated by the same experienced railroad men who had charge of them under private ownership and who are now in charge of them, and he raises the point that to charge them with wilfully wrecking the properties Is to question their loyalty not only to Government but also to the owners of the railroads who have -evidenced confidence in them both before and after the period of Government control. Here in Indianapolis we know that in addition to having sufficient equipment in good condition to handle an increased volume of business at the end of the Government control, the railroads also had better facilities for handling it. For the track elevation work that was begun before the war was pushed during .the war period under the direction'of Mr. McAdoo, regardless of the fact that the council of defense, with Will H. Hays at its head, acquiesced in a plan to delay it. Mr. MeAdoo’s administration of the railroads during the period of the war when victory depended upon their efficiency needs no defenss. The victory shows that he did not fail. The record shows that the railroads themselves did not suffer sufficiently to be prevented from handling the greatest volume of traffic in their history immediately upon being returned to private ownership. And, it is not strange that in disclosing the falsity of propaganda to the contrary Mr. McAdoo has madp it plain that he is defending not himself, but the railroad executives who actually handled the roads and made them function efficiently in war time. Mr. McAdoo is that kind of a man. To Help ex-Service Men Mayor Shank's efforts to make immediately available for the relief )f ex-service men the property purchased sot the war memorial site meets with the commendation of the majority of the people, not excluding a lumber who will be called on to make personal sacrifices. But, it is characteristic of the mayor that he has started plans for m equitable distribution of the land or its proceeds a part of t has already been set aside for the use of one organization. The problem now is to arrange that other.organizations may partici>ate in the use of this land, as the American 'Legion will participate, owng to the designation of the Chalfant apartments as legion headquarters. The turning over to the legion of the Chalfant will not, however, be any Inancial relief to that body, as the expense of its headquarters here have ieen borne, with considerable trouble, by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. * Mr. Shank yesterday organized a committee consisting of representaives of many organizations engaged in relief work among the ex-service nen which will meet with the board of works for the purpose of workng out a plan to make use of the rest of the ground now held by the :ity. The legion is represented on this committee and the board of works •esolution turning over the Chalfant to it remains on recoTff. Evidently, the committee,and the board is going to have no small unount of trouble working out a plan that will satisfy all organizations.

BERT SAVOY IS A DASHING REDHEADED VILLAGER Venita Gould Is a Great Artis t—Marcus Show Here—Bush Tells Stories

A flaming red Leslie Carter wig, some dashing gowns, a pencil applied over and under the eyes, a dash of powder and some paint on the cheeks transforms Bert Savoy into the most dashing of the “girls” in the Greenwich Village Follies. Bert in his dashingly modern female attire rushes on the stage explaining that he “won’t Qo It, no matter what it is’’ because a “girl can’t be too careful.” Jay Brennan as ihg sculptor accompanies Savoy on his first entrance, asking Savoy to pose for him. Balancing his picture hat, Savoy exclaims, “I went to the loveliest funeral. Oh, It was grand. Bigger than Mecca. I talked to the widow and then I went.ln to look at the corpse. O, yes, I did. And when I touched his cheek, It Was warm. Yes, I did. I went right to bis wife and told her that her husband was still wkarm. And guess k what she said to me. She said, ‘Hot or cold, he goes fight out of the house in the morning.’ ” And Savoy is well versed in art. He admits that Venue de Milo Is an unfortunate lady. “One lady who was next to me In the art gallery—she must have been next to me—said the funiest thing when she saw Venus de Milo. She said. ’The Germans, must have treated that poor Belgian" woman something awful.’ Yes she did.” Bert Savoy cracks some keen remarks. He puts his stuff over in a smart way. His gowns are regular beauties. He makes numerous appearances. Some of his remarks are rather broad but they do not seem out. of £laee in JJreeuwich Village. Oh’ mercy no. Brennan asks Savoy, “Hidn't I see you at the Black Cat Cale last night?” “Oh, yes, you did,” answers Bert. “M ho was the man you were with]” “Don’t ask me," Savoy replies. “Don’t ask me. I am as uncertain about It as you. It was rate and one can t be fussy.” Savoy and -Brennan are two of the many who appear in the colorful, exotic, bizarre and fantastical Greenwich Village Follies as revealed at the Murat last night. Among other individuals wtn make decided impressions are Russell Scott, who sings “Just Sweet Sixteen;” Alice and Mary McCarthy, Julia Silvers and Russell Scott while singing ‘1 11 Be Your Valentine,” t James Clemons In “Danse of the Inebriate,” Ford Hanford while singing “Tam," during which tambourines are passed out to the customers (meaning the audience); “Less I‘art’ums," a ballet of exquisite beauty, in which Ada Forman appears to advantage during a dance: Ada Forman in “An episode With Benda Masks" (one of the cleverest bits of tbe show), Phil N’aker with his remarks and his accordion, and Pee Wee Myers and Ford Hanford in their Arkansaw chatter and their musical saws. John Murray Anderson staged these Follies and he has created many beautiful plciures. The blending of colors, the handling of the cast to produce a colorful, pleasing and 'often-a tuneful picture all aid in reflecting the ability of this Anderson person in turning out a smart revue. He dos not parade his company around to any great extent In naked limbs He drapes his people in beautiful colors The Russian dance seeSe is one of much beauty. The “Parfurne" ballet Is a treat, a feast in the beautiful blending of colors. Personally, The Greenwich Village Follies approaches my idea of being nearer what a revUw should be. it is not too long. It does not tire you out by forcing too much scenery on an audience. Some may desire more humor, but what the show offers. It stacks tip In good fashion with the brand usually heard in a revue. At times the show reminds me q£> a huge vaudeville show. And another thing—the members of the company actually work. Not a single one gave me the impression that it was just horrible to play any place but New York. Those performers seem to realize that some people actually pay real money to see a show and they have decided to give their beat. What a pleasant feeling that Is. My taste and your taste in revues may be entirely different. I am not "wild" over the average revue Far but last night I actually enjoyed seeing something different In the revue line done In a smart and pleasing manner. As i have stated, I enjoyed the smart and even rapid repartee of Savoy and Brennan. These two caused me to laugh out loud several times. If you like smart revues with at least some brains behind it. I recommend “The Greenwich Village Follies." If you don't like this kind of stuff, then leave It alone. These “am” my sentiments. Agree with me or not, that's your grand and giorious right. But In the words of Bert Savoy—“ You must come over.” At the Murat all week.—W. D. H. again Tine M.tkn s show IS ON VIEW AT ENGLISH’S. The Marcus show at English’* this week Is the tired business man's kind of a show, but he would have to be mighty tired to enjoy some parts of it. The show 1* the usual disjointed type of re view with an extravagant display <f more or less shapely limbs, some ordinary songs, and an exceptionally good dancing team. In fact, that dancing team, together with a comedy quartet known as the Runaway Four, arc the principal excuses for the show’s existence. The management is wise In working the dancing team, Stanley and Byrnes, from the beginning to the end of the performance. They appear in six distinct numbers by actual count. The quartet appears In almost as many and is almost as good. The show is in two acts and twentyfour scenes, opening with a “chicken farm” reminiscent of burlesque performances, and including n doctor's office, scene of somewhat the usual type, an In dlan scene of rather unusual beauty, a bathing scene in which extremely scanty costumes are displayed, nrf aviation field scene, a scene on the Century roof, a fashion parade, an Egyptian scene lacking for some reason the usaial nearly nude dancer, a scene in a divorce court and numerous specialties. In most of these scenes Charlie Abot, a low comedian of some merit, plays a leading part. Abot is somewhat original In his performance, but. as mu h cannot be said of most of his lines. He appears at bis best as the patient in the

HOW THE VILLAGERS LOOK TO AN ARTIST

Tolu eg , 1. LZ* A UU /H - M (ft' Ff My*/*- SS& . <23

Here Is an artist’s conception of “Th e Greenwich Village Follies.” The favorites of this smart revue are shown In the drawing as they appear at the Murat this week.

doctor's office seeno and ns the Judge In the court scene. Not a great deal can be said of the feminine principals. The parts are taken by Bee Winsome, Polly Lay and Gertrude Parish. All attempt a number of song nnmoer with varying degrees of success. Perhaps If the show had better music tt would go over better, but there is not a song in It that sticks in the memory. Hut 'li never may be said of the show, the fact remains that the house was packed and it probably will continue In that -condition for the remainder of the week. -I- -I- -ICONCI RXIXO A (-KUT \KTIST. It always is a pleasure to write concerning a woman who elevates vaudeville to the realm of artistry and who by sheer talent, ability an I careful study accomplishes nearly the Impossible., Sometimes It appears that “Jazz” Rnd •he should, r shaking exponents are in he lend ami when we sre about ready to admit It as a fact, along cornea an ortist like Miss Venita Gould, who drive* the shimmy and the jazz song off of the boards, I have never admitted that cheßp Jazz and noise Is the peak of enter; .'tlnment. Pure artistry will win out. That was proven yesterday nftertioon when Miss Gould wou her audience by the merit of her Impersonations. Miss Gould and Elsie .lanls rank side by side tn giving their Impressions of stage people. S ■ i.e aecTalm Miss .Innig as 'h*‘ “best” but I place Miss Gould at the side of Miss .lunis Miss Janls is at the head of her ( own revue. Miss Gould faces a vaudeville audience twice dally and the fact is that her artistry always wins. She works until she conquers her audience. She never gives up. If the fttidlouco does not yield at first. Miss Gould does not give up. If her really remarkable Impressions of Mrti. Flake In “Wake l'p, Jonathan” falls to get over, she shifts to her Eva 'Gfhguay lmpersor.atlon. Miss Gould does not antagonize her audience. If her artistry •ails to capture uu audience In one iin personation. Miss Gould becomes Leuore i irie in “The Sun Daughter,” or A1 Jolson, or If neceseary George Cohan In 'The Meanest Man In the World,” and Julian Eitiugc will be added if It Is necessary for Miss Gould to exhibit her artistry further. The realty remarkable thing about the impressions of Miss Gould is that she Is able to recreate the voice of Miss Plric, of Jolson, of Mrs. Flake, Grace La Rue, 'iud the others. It is seldom that an lm-i-crsonator is Hbl- to produce the voice of (ho person imitated. Miss Gould easily presents the mannerisms of those she tm personates, but the height of her nrtfctry is reflected in the voice. Personally, I think that her Mrs. Fisko impression is the most finished thing she does) It is not Venita Gould who stands on the stage, it is Mrs. Fiske. Wh il finer compliment can I pay to Miss Gould ? After devoting all of this space to Miss Gould, and 1 could write much more, 1 will consider the remainder of the bill at Keith s tliis week. The Four Casting Mellos close the bill. Here is on act which will hold the audience ir its so.it. Will Mahoney be■•ngs to the “nut” variety of comedians. Asa ru'e when a nut comedian rushes on the stage, I want to exit. Mahoney does not offend me nearly as much as the usual “nut” comedian does. In fact, 1 had several hearty laughs us. Mahoney’s antics. That is some concession coming from me. Lou and Jean Archer have an act of class and refinement called “Tailor Maid.’ The song numbers are claverly introduced and as capably handled. Weaver Brothers are back with their handsaws and other rural musical instruments. Again they are u solid

popular hit and they deserve to be. Mr. Richard Kean announces on the program that he is "The Distinguished Legitimate Actor,’’ and In addition to that a gentleman announces from the stage tijsri Mr. Kean is “a distinguished legitimate actor.” Mr, Kean is at his best as Sbylock. If he would refrain from ordering "lights” at ’he close of the character impersonated, his efforts would ap[>er less theatrical. 1 know that the electricians at Keith’s ari. perfectly competent to manage the lights without Mr Kean shouting to them. Carlisle and Lamal offer what is termed "The Interview.” it Is of a light nature. Bob Lee and his spendldly trained dog, Tip, opens the current bill which shapes up on the whole as ft winner. Don't miss Venita Gould. She 1* the treat of the Reason. At B. F. Keith’s all week.—W. D. H, -I- -I- -!- JtfK BRODERICK .t:08 FOR FAVOR Af LYRIC. "Wit and Wisdom" i.i a nicely con structed dancing act withs lug!ng plan Ist and Jack Brodi ck of Indianapolis. Broderick Is sn exceptionally clever violinist and dancer. The two dancing girls are attractive and do tome clever dancing. This act is the featured offering at the Lyric thl* week. Maliey and Mack have an entertaining comedy and tuofcni:: • ratal act iu which they Show their Tersactut* by dancing, singing and playing the cornet, taxophone, banjo, clarinet and French harp. Their work was appreciated by the audience when we saw the show. Tommy Allen and company consists of four girls, one of whom plays a porter and checkroom boy part. This girl has some good line* and handles them well. The act has some good material, but a new song would strengthen the net. Frank Bush has established hlmtelf as teller of atorlea. He has an amusing routine. He is a recognized vaudeville attraction. Gene and Kathryn King sing several good songs and their “Just Imaglns” number Is something different. It Is well done and furnishes plenty of wholesome laughs. The Kltnmura Japs appear In ft clever foot-juggling act and Is worthy of closing any bill. Copeland and Stralne are two entertainers who are weak on comedy as well as voice. I'pjdde Mlilette opens the show with some daring headbalancing on the trapeze. At the Lyric all week. -I- -G/-I----LOTS OF PEV IN “REALTY REVT7B.” Bep In big letters describes Jimmie Cooper’s "Beauty Revue" now on view at the Bark. Cooper Is the kind of a manager who keeps his performers on their toes all the time and the result Is a snappy, peppy and w-ell drilled show. Eddie Hall, the principal comedian, Is assisted by Fred Harper and Lew Free*, who furnish plenty of comedy and dancing. Victor Kaplan Is a young chap who* shows great promise. His Frisco dance Impression was well done. Ruth Osborne is a prlma donna without tile "Tra, la-la" stuff and the nudlcnce liked her t*etfer for It. Betty Burroughs Is a blonde and Is good looking, Anita Stone and Betty Belmonte are good to look at and they put over their stuff nicely. Special songs, (layby costumes and plenty of dancing and a peppy chorus make the Beauty Revue orth seeing. The Bask next week snifts to the Columbia No. 1 wheel. This will give the Bark the big city shows that Chicago, Cincinnati and other large cities have. "Beauty Revue” remains on view all I week at the Bark. -I- -!- ON THE SCREEN. The following movies are on view today: “Polly of the Follies’’ at the Circle; “Saturday Night" at Loew’s State; “Her Own Money" at the Alhambra; ‘Conflict.’ at the Ohio: “My Boy” at Mister Smith's and “The Ruse of the Rattier” at. the Isis. ■

'Lost City’ Tour Includes Visit to Temple of Jazz Reporter Spends Night With Night Riders and Obtains Local Color.

BY DONALD HOOVER. The night riders are abroad in Indianapolis I always have desired to know where and what "lost city” was. That desire and others were satisfied Friday night, when I toured the city with Sergeant Russell’s squad of “night riders," one of the new forms of police protection. We started out from police headquarters at 8:30 o’clock at night In the auto-' mobile formerly used by Charles Jewett, ex-mayor of Indianapolis. In the'squad were Sergt. Charles J. Russoll and Patrolmen Ed Ball, Andy Clary and Joe Klaiber. Andy drove the car. From 9 o’clock until 10 we roved over the south part of the city, stopping at police substation 4 to call headquarters. Each squad leader Is required to call the police captain on the half hour. Then the sergeant surmised “lost city would be going," and, in accordance with Inspector of Police Cletus Weaver’s instructions that I be “shown the town,” we headed out Indiana avenue and passed the canal. On the farther side of the canal was a rough path which we took Into the bottoms for about a hundred yards. Here we left the automobile and proceeded on foot, through back alleys and over stubble and rock to the rear entrance of the famed "lost city.’’ The building itself is a two-story ramshackle, insecure “hangout” for the negroes who would rather not be seen in the more frequented places, where police officers make nightly inspectious, PAYS CALL TO TEMPLE OF JAZZ. As we ueared the narrow steps, Just wide enough for one man at a time to climb, the tinny tone* of jazz music played on a "has been” piano, accompanying a husky, blatant tenor solo, “Tuck Me to Sleep," struck our ears. We heard sounds of stamping feet and clapping hands. Silently we mounted the rickety steps, Sergeant Russell leading. He opened the door suddenly and we entered. An oppressive siience lit once fell over the crowd of about thirty negroes and negresses. It was the “police.” The night riders distributed themselves through the place. The keeper of the house, who was known to the officers, vouched for each negro who had come to "lost city.” He said “Saturday night the place is wide open, but tonight everybody here Is boy.” E.-teh room was searched for fugitives The main room, where the dancing is held, Is about twenty feet wide and eighteen feet long. In this space the ne=. groes were huddled. An old piano, some chairs and a stove also helped to fiL the room. And yet, the police told me, on the next night, many negroes would gather there and dance and sway to the savage tom-tom music which they like so well. After a thorough search we departed. As we stumbled back to our car, we heard the piano thump-thumping and the shouts of the negroes-floatiug out Into the night air. The “police” had gone. The gayety was resumed, SERGEANT GETS ANOTHER CALL. After leaving “lost city” the sergeant made. About twenty suspicious eharwas told to Intercept ’.he lnterurban car which would soon be In Indianapolis from Greenfield and search It for a fugitive who had Just left Greenfield. We sped from "Buektown" to the east part

of the city. The lnterurban car mi seen approaching. The members of she squad and I alighted from the auto and flagged the car. It stopped. All of us with the exception of Andy, the chauffeur, boarded the car and searched it. I The wanted man was not there. A j On calling headquarters it was learned another limited interurban and a railroad train, both of which stopped at ‘ Greenfield, were due to arrive here/within ten minutes of each other. Sergeant Russell then directed the driver to leave Ball and Klaiber at the Gray street switch on East Washington street while he met the train and watched the alighting pa. scngers for the fugitive. He was not on either. After the fruitless s*arch for the man the squad members began their nightly rounds of all-night lunch bouses and poolrooms, South Illinois street places, known as part of the “levee,” were visited and suspicious characters questioned. The squad then drove througa the eastern part of town. From here we went through known so-called “joints” over the northeast part of Indianapolis. By this time it was after midnight, so a comprehensive sweep of the town was made. About twenty suspicious characters were stopped and searched. At one residence on North Pennsylvania street, an open window was investigated. TAKE NO CHANCES OF LOSING CAR. The men then suggested the negro cabarets and tafeß would be in full sway by that time and upon finding out I had never been In such a plhce. Immediately drove to a fire station on Indiana avenue and left the automobile. I believe the car was left here in order thst it could be watched. It will be remembered thmt once uron a time not long ago, the very automobile In which we were riding, was stolen from our valiant night riders. Up Indiana avenue we went Our first visit was to a case which the better class of negroes patronized. Here the police placed a damper on tbe spirits of the negroes by their visit. Sergeant Russell asked me If I wanted to hear some “real” music. I did. He called to a tall negro, dressed in a Tuxedo, without any tie, and whispered something to him. In a moment the colored orchestra of three pieces, piano, drums and banjo, was twanging out “Tuck Me to Sleep." This piece was played at every cabaret we visited. Negroes came out into an open place between tables and sang the song to the accompaniment of flinging and twisting | of drum sticks. We left the case by the back entrance after the officers had seaiehed some ot (he negroes and looked in the kitchen ; for Illicit liquor. Now came what the men had been telling me was the supreme treat of the evening. I was to b, taken to a place known as “The Bucket o’ Blood.” This we also entered by the rear way. Before going Into the main floor we stayed back in order tha£ I might watch, i I saw negroes and whites seated around taffies. From table to table flitted dtfsky w-Atresses. This was the most deep pit place of all, yet more “real class" was displayed here than at any other case-cabaret. Alleged soda pop was served in wina glasses. POLICE MAKE SEARCH OF CROWD. A negro, evidently one of the Beau Brummels of tbe cosmopolitan gathering, seemingly affected with ennui, arose to fleave. The sergeant believed the man was wanted _ln connection with a cutting earlier in the evening, so we stepped from concealment. Sergeant Russtll com- , minded: “Everybody stand still and keep your hands out of your pockets." and the men Went through the crowd After (his was done Lieutenant Anderson. who has charge of that section ol the city, came An and ordered the white people who were in the cabaret to leave. He also told the proprietor if any more whites were seen there his place would be "closed up ” After a negro with a craving for publicity had insisted on singing a solo (it was “Rock Me to Sleep") for my be'neflt we left this, the last cabaret we “made,” and resumed our riding around over the city, devoting particular care this time to the northwestern district. We passed another squad of night riders near Crdwn Hill Cemetery. I stayed with the squad until almost 1:30 o’clock Saturday morning, when they went Into headquarters.
