COMMON SENSE SUNDAYS ASKED BY LOCAL PASTOR Rev, Cunningham Pleads for Legislature to Pass Enforceable Laws, Declaring that it is the duty of the State to protect itself from moral decay and physical deterioration by legislation regarding Sunday, the Rev. Edwin Cunningham of the Central Unlversalist Church Sunday spoke on "Common Sense About Sunday.” "Unless man is an anarchist he will welcome some legislation in regard to the observance of Sunday,” the Rev. Cunningham said. "No one questions the right of the State to protect itself from ignorance and promote the intelligence of its people by a compulsory school attendance law. It is also the duty of the State to protect itself from moral decay and physical deterioration by legislation regarding Sunday.” Continuing, Dr. Cunningham said: "This legislation should have to do for the most part with the protection of labor. There are thousands of laborers in Indiana who have to work seven days a week. This number should be reduced by legislation to a minimum. For example consider the clerk in the cigar store. His hours are long. The goods which he sells are not perishable. The public can be trained to buy its tobacco supply on Saturday as it now does its groceries or clothing. But no owner of a cigar store is going to close his store while all his competitors are permitted to sell their goods. "The common-sense way of protecting the right of these cigar clerks to one day’s vacation in seven is by prohibiting the sale of tobacco any where at any time on Sunday. The great work of the press and the church is to educate the public to a better valuation of Sunday and its importance to t te stability of business and the character of our Nation. "Emerson called the observance of Sunday the core of civilization. It is the one day of the week related to rest, recreation, social service, the family and religious worship. With public opinion aroused to make a better use of Sunday and extend its blessings to a greater number laws regarding its observance will be found enforceable. States Views on Legalized Sunday Shows. "No Legislature should legalize Sunday theaters if the request to do so comes only from the managers or owners. Neither should they be prohibited in order to benefit religious organizations. If Sunday theaters are legalized it should be done with the approval of all those who have to labor to put on the entertainment, and with the understanding that they are to he given one day's vacation in seven with no reduction in pay. It should be further provided that no theater manager or owner be allowed to receive any profit from the performances of others on Sunday. With Sunday entertainments served to the puhlic on a strict ly cost basis, it is doubtful if there would be much agitation for Sunday movies.’ "But better than legislative acts is a real concern on the part of the community to organize and direct the leisure of Its peopl" on Sunday and other vacation days. These days should be the busiest of all days for such Institutions as the public libraries, art museums, community centers. The very best of musical entertainments could be given free of cost on Sunday afternoons, and repeated again in the evening. Large, downtown churches can include the motion picture machine as a part of their equipment and offer to the public a free religious picture service not only on Sunday nights but other nights as well. Makes Plea for Day of Rest, Play and Worship "The Sabbath 13 the Jewish day of worship. It begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday. Sunday, the first day of the week, became the day of worship for the followers of Jesus soon after his death. Common sense tells us that our day of worship could be much better observed if we had but the one. The late Dr. Emil G. Hirsli held public worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. He was one of America’s foremost Rabbies. May the trail he blazed lead the way to a common day of rest, and play, and worship, for all,” he said. Church Club to Give First Bill The newly-organized dramatic club of the Union Congregationa 1 *Chureh, Seventeenth and Rembrandt Sts., will present its first playlet, "The Snowball,” at the church parlors on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. "The Snowball” tells a story of how the husband played a practical joke of his wife, which gets him into such trouble that he became the prey of ail manner of petty blackmail schemes In his owr. household. The ludicrous part is that everybody but the husband is in the plot. The situation clears Itself before the final curtain goes down, and all are again happy. Anew playlet will be presented every two months after this initial production. CUTTING IS INVESTIGATED Charles Blackman. 28, of 411 W. North St., was under detention today at the city hospital on a charge of vagrancy. Sergt. Barrett Ball found Blackman near Indiana Ave. Saturday. Blackman had a long cut on his shoulder and arm, but refused to tell how he received the wound. GIRL DYING AFTER CRASH Two girls, one of whom gave her name as Laura Moore. N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis, were reported dying today in Cincinnati as a result of an automobile accident. Investigation failed to reveal any resident here by that name.

Horses to Make You Laugh and Horses to Make You Cry in Movies This Week

By WALTER D. HICKMAN HORSE-FEAR seems to be a more serious ailment than to be in love with a pretty girl. Horse-love and horse-fear appears to he the foundation upon which the authors created a comedy, “The Hottentot.” William Collier, who was recently here in “The Music Box Revue,” used “The Hottentot” on the stage for several seasons to big profit. Douglas Mac Lean has stepped into the saddle in a movie version of the play.

When this comedy was presented at English’s a season or two ago with Mr. Collier as the man who feared horses, I rated it as one of ten best r plays of that year.

At the present time I have the same feeling about the movie version. “The Hottentot” in movie form is a fast moving, clean, charming comedy. The scenes, as well as the titles, abound in real humor. In the first place, the story of the stage pi; ay yields nicely to the demands of the camera. The trick photography used to show MaoLoan being hurled

through the air to land on the back of a runaway horse make certain parts of the movie better than the stage version. Mac Lean, by his work in "The Hottentot,” stands in a position to take the place of the late Wallace Reid. Mac Lean has personality, which any audience loves. Breezy, that's what Mac Lean is. He is polished in comedy situations. He does not belong to the “pie-throwing” class of comedians. He can register laughs with his hands and with his eyes. If the proper vehicles are given Mac Lean to follow "The Hottentot," it is my firm conviction that vre will find Mac Lean soon in the position of being the screen’s most popular polite comedian. Charlie Chaplin does not compete with Mac Lean, as their work Is along different lines. -I- -I- -II believe that the race scenes in “The Hottentot" will stand for some time to come as one of the funniest episodes ever filmed. These scenes are not only funny,, but they ur>thrilling. Never have 1 seen a movie director accomplish so much with a race than tin- director of "The .Hottentot” has done. All of til*- scenic efforts reflect

REROUTING ASKED ESP, STREET GARS A petition asking the rerouting of the Northwestern Ave. car line over Illinois St., in place of the present route on Senate Ave., was to be prei sented to the board of public works today by the Better Business league of North Indianapolis and residents i of the northwestern part of the city. Northwestern oars now run on ; Twenty First St. to Senate Ave, then downtown on Senate. The change would make cars run on Twenty First St. from Northwestern Ave to Illinois sc. and thence to the downtown district on Illinois. St. City Councilman Walter W. Wise presented the matter to Mayor Shank several days ago and at the time the mayor expressed himself as favoring the plan. Whether or not the board of works favors the change depends on whether or not Illinois St., will hear the additional burden of traffic with the addition of the Northwestern cars. Under the plan it will be necessary to have a separate car line run on Senate Ave. to Twenty-First St. TWO MEN AND GIRL BROUGHT FROM JERSEY Wallace Fnom. 21, of Philadelphia: Charles Welch. 25, of Kokomo, and Minnie Mast, “alias Welch.” 19. of 30 W. North St., were returned today from Frchol, N. J.. by Detectives McGlen and McMurty. It is alleged the three took an automobile owned by Floyd Randall, 30 N Addison St., Jan 20, after ejecting Randall on a lonely country road near the city. They are held on charges of vehicle taking. Randall said the girl induced him to take the others riding. Automobile Confiscated Charles Proctor, 37, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was under arrest today on a charge of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, drunkenness and operating a blind tiger. His automobile is held by police awaiting court action. Sergt. Cummings said he found some liquor in Proctor’s automobile, which had Ohio license 604350. Shank After Speeders Mayor Shank again accompanied police on anew crusade against speedel's today. The squad and Mayor Shank arrested Ora Richardson, 36, of Rural Route F., and Mount Hall, 25, of Greenfield, Tnd., on charges of speeding. An additional charge of passing a street car while it was dischargingpassengers was placed against Hall.

TEXTBOOK FIGHT STIRS ASSEMBLY (Continued Front Page I) lie had no alliance with any hook publishers. He declared the fight in ilio Legislature was a fight between texttiook publishers. Alilgren, in defense of the motion to recommit, declared that the solo purpose for which he was asking the bill be recommitted was that of substantiating charges of influence. "If 1 have now or ever have had any connection with any book trust, may the Bird have mercy on my soul,” he shouted. Representative Wedeking demanded that the charges of influence be investigated. Harris relterrated that he had not told all lie knew and that If persons who had given him information could be called before the Legislature and made to repeat their-statements under oath, many would be involved. Roll ( all A' roll call was demanded with the result that the motion to recommit was lost 60 to 27.

tot,” renew my faith in the movies. The Mac Lean movie remains on view all week at the Circle in addition to a special musical program and other movies. -I- -I- IYou Will Love The Horses If You Care Not For Fires Fire! That word means poverty and ruin to some people while to others it is a symbol of entertainment. A lire either in the small town or

a city is sure “to play” to a good audience. In the old days when horses were used to hurry the fire fighting apparatus over the streets, the sound of fastly moving hoofs invited one to follow in pursuit. There has always been romance attached to a fire and the firemen. This spirit is reflected in a movie version

of “The Third RALPH Alarm,” which js LEWIS now on view at English’s. This picture is melodrama with the heart interest worked to the nth degree. Horses, mother love, fire, a swearing parrot, the love of a fireman for horses have been blended together into a corking good old melodrama. This movie is full of those little “home and mother” touches which make one beautifully sad. ’Pile director has done wonders with the fire fighting scenes. I believe that GIRLS!

you will agree when I say the scenes devoted to the burning of an apartment house have been realistically handled. Good showmanship has been used. When the young hero rescues his sweetheart from the burning buildings one gets the impression that our hero actually fought fire and death to save his sweetheart. Splendid realism. Ralph Lewis plays the role of a city fireman who has been in service for many years. He was the driver when fire horses were in fashion. When the motor truck replaces the horses, he is pensioned. The old man goes through many melodramatic struggles before he finds peace and quiet with the old fire horses on a ranch. I found much to admire in Johnnie Walker, who is the youthful hero of the story. He is a manly looking chap. The woman playing the role of the mother does natural and convincing work. “The Third Alarm” must be judged by standards of melodram- and realism. I found this picture interesting entertainment. There is also music and other movie features on tho bill. At English’s all week. 1 -I- -I- -IHoosier Girl Plays New Kind of Mapper Meet anew kind of a flapper.

that when she was a good girl nobody paid any attention to her, but when she became “notorious” she was sent to jail and got headlines. So we have the “emotional flapper" who has a business head. At times I became disgusted with her, but I enjoyed the way she obtained publicity. Os course, “Pigeon” was pure gold at heart. She learns in the end of the movie that it is better to be a good-poor-little-girl than a notorious person. In the cast are Rod la Roque, Mona Lisa, Richard Travers, George Hackathorne, Mary Alden and J. Barney Sherry. At times this picture becomes overburdened with too much sentiment, but the actors come to the rescue of the story. This picture is melodramatic, but it tells an unusual story in an entertaining way.

T l my first review of this picture I found it too morbid, although well acted. Since then I have had numerous discussions with patrons of the movies and of this department. A certain patron, who studies the stage and the screen with considerable understanding, told me that she considered “Trifling Women” a masterpiece in “artistic horror.” In other words, the rather gloomy and shocking ending of the “story” within a story is not only artistic but realistic. Numerous others have told me that they consider this Ingram picture an equal to any of Ingram’s best pictures. We can not agree on this picture. hut the fact remains that “Trifling Women” appears to have many champions. The engagement will close Saturday night, at the Ohio.

Sherlock Holmes Figures In New Movie at Isis A full length photoplay of Sir A. Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story, “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” at the Isis for the first half of the week, gives Eille Norwood, who plays the role of Sherlock Holmes, a greater opportunity to display his dramatic talents than when he was seen in the short Sherlock Holmes series. The story concerns an English family of title which had for years 1 been troubled by the appearance of a mysterious dog which heralded the death of some member of the family. Sherlock Holmes is brought on ■he scene and discovers that a distant relative is try.ng to dispose of all obstacles that are keeping him from a title.
