NO SIATE POLICEINIS SESSION BY VOTE OF SENATE Measure to Establish Rural Constabulary Dies in Upper House. Indiana will have no State police, at least, not before the next Legislature. Meeting a storm of opposition the Moorhead State rural police bill was lost In the Senate late Monday when a motion of Senator Harmon to postpone indefinitely further consideration was carried 32 to 14. Senator Moorhead defended his bill alone. Senator Lindley objected because the bill “allowed too much freedom for State police,” Senator Hodges objected, saying the difficulty was not in catching criminals, but in courts to sentence them. Senator Batt said rural roads were no more dangerous for night travel than Indianapolis streets. “If this bill goes through and Lew Shank should become governor of Indiana. we might expect to see Herman Rikhoff head of the State police force,” he said. In answer. Senator Moorhead said the system here would be the same as that successfully worked in other States. He said the expenditure would be only a transfer of funds in the State. He predicted that a State police system would reduce rural crime, stop speeding, and make all roads “safe for night travel.” • The vote on Harmon's motion. FOR POSTPONEMENT Republican*—Barker. Brown.

Four-Leaf Clover Brings Luck to White; Proof That Art Is Art When Art Is Art

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. WHITE has found sucw cess in a four-leaf clover. There is a haunting melody in George White’s Scandals which spells success. It is called “I Found a Four Leaf Clover.” The melody has reached this city long' before this show arrived, but it remained for Pearl Regay and Richard Bold" to teach us the real beauty of that song. Sure, it took some scenery, a song idea and some real showmanship to make this song a hit last night at English’s. like George White’s Scandals because White seems to say when the curtain goes up, “Adam promises you nothing, but Eva always has an apple to tempt one.” White's show is different trom the Follies, the Music Box Revue, Ed Wynn, A1 Jolson and the others. White surprises one. He gave me a thrill last night and I haven’t had a real one for weeks. I- -I- -IHere is the thrill. Nearly time for the last scene in the last act. Something was bound to happen. One of Paul Whiteman’s orchestras had jazzed up the atmosphere until something had to happen. These musicians “blued” the ozone until we all had the "blues.” Emil Seidel at the piano and the numerous talented others had put their magic fingers into the very being of all present. Something had to happen. The stage went dark. The orchestra was there. Curtains parted. Lights went on. The orchestra was still there, hut Seidel and all the others were surrounded with steps. The Whiteman crowd played “I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise.” George White and others appeared. They were all bound for some place. They swayed and strutted. The intoxication of the orchestra reached^the audience. The curtain went down. Applause. More Whiteman’s music. The curtain went up. The maidens in the front row on the stage swayed until their garments dropped to the stage.

Don’t get excited. Nothing inde cent, but the audience kept on ap- , plauding. .It was a surprise. Nicely j put over. We all laughed and appiauded. -I- -I- *!- I first want to make myself clear regarding Whiteman's orchestra. Paul Whiteman is not this organization nor was he promised In the advertisements. The orchestra is better than I expected. Emil Seidel of Indianapolis is the pianist. Not because he is from this city, but this man knows how to “jazz” a piano. Even if you don't remember him, you are bound to realize his worth in this show. I am quite “wild” about “Three O'Clock in the Morning." Here is the grand opera of jazzland as, played by this Whiteman crowd. ' Nothing better offered today. White’s Scandals should not be : compared to last. year. I mean the i way last year’s show was presented j here. Last year. White substituted for ■ Lester Allen, if I am not wrong. This year Lester Allen is well, happy and | eccentric. He is a great clown. More than that, he is a great eccentric artist. As Rudolf Valentino In a burlesque on an Argentine dance, he is a comedy triumph. tVhite's dancing shines like a dla- ! mond during the show. W. C. Fields i (How we like that man here, again introduces his funny automobile and j his family. He is a “riot” in an im- ! possible something calird “The Radio Bug.” -I- I- IThere is much natural comedy in j White’s “Scandals.” but I must not forget the melody and the beauty. A

beautifully mounted song is “My Heart Will Sail Across the Sea.” Here we have beauty which appeals to the eye as well as the ear. Here we see the lavish hand of George White’s artistry'. Also, in the same class is “Just a Tiny Cup of Tea.” Pearl Regay and Richard Bold do this numi ber and then a deluge of sudden de- : lights. I must not forget Winnie Lightner, who knows how to sing the songs of the day. If you have any faith In my opinion—Georfcre White’s “Scandals,” now on view at English’s is a real jazz delight. More than that, it is universal entertainment. Gay, , dashing, sudden, tuneful —all of that ind more, it is smart entertainment. At English’s all week. -!• -I- -!- A Ticket To The Palace / Will Buy Some New Jazz Tell us about the Lopez orchestra at the Palace this week. Sure. Let us get right on this subject. Dell Lamp directs this orchestra, i Lopez Is not present. He was never announced. This orchestra la using his material and Ideas to great advantage. Lopez has found something new in the Jazz line. His Idea was too good to keep for one organization. So Dell Lamp, pianist of magnetic power, was selected to direct a hand of players under the Lopez banner. They play jazz as only few organizations can play It. They do not bur jazz but discover the hidden beauties in a swaying score. They play more serious selections hut inject a novelty touch into every number. The “Pinafore” number is a symphony of hats and melody. Something entirely new. Nothing better on the vaudeville stage today. I. remember every orchestra I have heard on the vaudeville stage ami I say this with all

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

]my reason present—Dell Lamp and | this orchestra are giving the best valj ues for the money ever offered at I popular prices. This treat awaits you | at the Palace. | The Three. Romano Sisters offer reI fined and pleasing dancing. A real .treat. Refined ballad singing is offered by Bertram and Saxton. Charles Rogers and Company in “The Iceman” present something new in a comedy line. The act drags at times, but the result is more than pleasing. Miller and Frear come Into their own triumph when they dance. The bill includes Billy Beard and Lionel Barrymore in a -movie, “The Face in the Fog.'’ Remember, I am at least honest when I say 1 missed these two.

The rr embers of the company dress plain- ) , hut pleasingly, in carrying out family idea. Here is an act of ' merit. Their singing of “Three I O’clock” is one of the high spots of | the act. ; Prosper and Maret are billed as “College Athletes,” and they look the part, ]as they wear the regulation college i sport attire.

Sosman And Sloan engage In some patter In act called, “In Between Dances.” They introduce several song numbers. Travesty is included in the act. of Kennedy and Rooney entitled “Can You Imagine.” It is flavored with Oriental “hoakum.” The Singing Three sing well, but their comedy appears aged. Mile.

I have more respect today for certain recreational members of the city force (if I am not all wrong) than I ever have had. This is the reason. Art Is sensible whether It has lots of clothes or not. If one remembers art for tho absence of clothes, then It Is not art. The Morgan

Morgan dancers In the flesh until yesterday afternoon. We have all seen pictures of them in high-priced magazines. Art Is art and the Morgan Dancers do not violate the real laws of art. They appear In a dance drama, “Helen of Troy.” Here we hava artistic lighting, splendid directing and various dancers in more or less attire. These dancers are not vulgar. They are not indecent burlesque. You may not like this dash into suddent art, but I believe In the honesty of all people—that the Morgan dancers are not mere sensationalists. I am not afraid to recommend the Morgan dancers. A beautiful story is told. If anything is wrong, lam sure the Morgan dancers take art seriously. Speaking of real things, I muet mention Josef Diskay. The program declares that he is “the famous Hungarian tenor.” I know this, that he could have flopped yesterday at Keith’s because the audience seemed to be restless waiting for the Morgan dancers. He sang real songs. Not jazz, but songs with a message. He triumphed and it was an honest triumph. / Will sum up tho rest of the bill as follows: Burt Gordon and Gene Ford—They offer eccentric nonsense. Nothing to get excited about. Eight Blue Demons—An act which makes an exit on the last act impossible. Marion Murray and Company in “Likes and Dislikes”—A sketch which is funny at times and then not so funny.
