ATTACK ON LABOR DELEGATES FAILS Resolutions of Condemnation Defeated After Speech by Schwartz. A resolution introduced by members of the Marion County Building Tracies Council at a meeting of the Central Labor Union Monday night, condemning Democratic delegates for their favorable vote on ;tn amendment to the appropriation bill in the recent Legislature, was defeated. The resolution, although not stating any names, was aimed at Representatives Edgar A. IVrkins and Lewis C. Schwartz, labor representatives, members of the C. L. U. said. Representative Schwartz, invited to attend, explained his vote. Perkins Wits not present. Questions Authority Schwartz questioned the right of the business agents of the Trades council in assuming to “take higher authority than the State Federation of Labor in legislative matters.” The agitation grew out of the assertion of members of the central body that, under the amendment, convict lal>or would have been used in the erection of the reformatory at Pendleton. Schwartz attacked the assertion that, convict labor was to be uced. “The original motion as presented to the Speaker of the House did not call for the use of convict labor.” he asserted. “It called for cancelling the present contracts under the cost plus system and letting the contract on the flat contract b;isis.” Charges Hasty Action The action of the ('. L. U. in condemning him was done on the spur of the moment before any consideration was given the measure, he asserted. Argument centered around the costplus plan, which members of the Building Trades Council favor. Members of the C. L. U. legislative committee favoring the resolution were Robert Fox, \V. E. Holmes, Z. F. Carrigan and E. E. McKamey. Opposed were Russell H. Gilmore and Adolph J. Fritz. The resolution in part: “We bitterly condemn the action of the minority members of the recent General Assembly, who participated in this rotten political play, and those labor politicians who have attempted to condone their actions, and that full responsibility for their actions be accredited to them.”

‘Shuffle Along’ Hottest Show 7 on Earth; . Harris, Aug, Holt and Leonard Big Hits

! By WALTER D. HICKMAN CHECK YOUR OVERCOATS because the “hottest” show on earth is now on view, j It is called "Shuffle Along." It’s loj cation for the week is English’s Theater. “Shuffle Along” is an all colored organization. There ; is not another | colored troupe on ./* * ' the stage today : that can come A* ' within a mile of and comedians they dance and when they sing m# Y they really sing. \ There is a spirit of complete aban- K. i--1 donment to this show. Artistic RUTH WALKER abandon ment. This show’ is not an accident because it has the melody, the dance, the sway and the musical intoxication which acts like a tonic during the lengthy j proceedings. These people did not impress me : that they were working for mere salaries. They seemed to be on the | stage because they know how to entertain. When I am for a show I am for it and when I am not, I am not and that’s the end to it. I had enough | on my side last night who expressed approval of the efforts of these players. In the first place “Shuffle Along" is not a hand-me-down show. It is the Ziegfekl of color. Miller and Lyles conceived the show and they are present. Sissle and Blake composed the music and the lyrics. The melodies ; are haunting, pleasing and every one !of the many are put over with a bang. Near the close of the show, Eubie Blake, who is at the piano In the pit during the show, goes on the stage. How that man can tickle the ! keys! Splendid. In song he has tlf assistance of Sissle. These two J stop proceedings. No wonder the cur- I tain didn't come down hist night until j 11:20 o'clock. Noble Slsslt has the aid of Ruth Walker and others in the colorful j “Oriental Blues” number. This song is beautifully costumed. Edith Spen-1 c<-r lands with a big hit, “Wild About i Harry,” in which . he has the aid of : as nifty a bunch of male steppers) ami strutters that one would want j ito see. They stopped the show. The j ] truth is any one of the company can j : do that little thing. Sissle gives the audience a splendid wallop with “Honeysuckle Time." I j must not forget Arthur Porter and I company in "Bandana Days." Then j there is a quartette, known as the, I Four Harmony Kings. Here Is real i i singing. Stopped the show. There are j many other hits, but haven't the space.

Yes, the Eccentric Dancer Is Right on Front Row You are going to hear a whole lot about an eccentric member, a woman dancer who works now and then with the chorus. She Is really a principal, the way she stops this show with her eccentric dance movements. When she starts, one is bound to see only this woman. A real scream, this woman Is. This show is loaded down with comedy. which is centered around three nun running for the office of mayor. Two of them are partners in a grocery store. For comedy, that is genuine comedy, the scene in the grocery store and the one in the mayor’s office is not equalled any place on the stage today. I am not too enthusiastic over this show. It has been a recognized legitimate attraction for all people for many, many months. If I didn’t tell you about this really remarkable show in the terms that I have, would eonsider myself a cheat. The truth is, I enjoyed every minute of “Shuffle Along." These people attempt only what they know they can do. They’ are specialists in their particular line. This show has speed, class, talent, marvelous dancing, splendid singing, and above all, it is refined and c;usay entertainment. I am not afrnid to Indorse “Shuffle Along” as presented at English's this week. This is the original company with Sissle and Blake. Miller and Lyles and the many others. At English's all week. -I- -!- -ITwo Queens of Stage on New Keith Bill There are two big names and two interesting personalities at Keith’s this week.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Last season Marion Harris crashed across the vaudeville horizon, leaving an Impression which assures her of a real welcome this season. Edna Aug has been before the public for years. It is she who has made a “scrubwoman” a great artist. Miss Harris is known in every home which has a phonograph. She is closely connected with the “daddy blues" kind of song. She doesn’t crash into her own until near the close of her act when she sings a song inviting daddy to call every night. Then she delivers J. Russell Robinson’s gem of the blues, “Aggravatin’ I’apa.” The result is a panic and a riot all rolled up in one. She then silences the applause with “St. Louis Blues” which starts the riot all over again Robinson is her accompanist. He was given a splendid reception yesterday. Miss Harris is the best singer of her class. I believe she is the most popular. She is a great showman. She knows how to “feed” blues music to an audience. She is just the kind of a popular sensation that I thought she would become. She i3 mighty wise in having Robinson at the piano. He comes from Indianapolis, you know. To me Edna Aug is one of the most interesting personalities on the variety stage. She has an elaborate act called “Day Dreams” which Is just as sweet as is the personality of this really big hearted woman who always gives her mighty best to an audience. She has the assistance of several people. This woman never cheats, she gives all. If you have longed to see a big character artist register with a bang, then don’t miss Edna Aug as the scrubwoman who dreams she Is a tempermental singer with an attack of nerves. Tills “nerves" song is a classic, made so by the artistry of Edna Aug. “Senator” Ford has an individual way in presenting a clever monologue. He discusses Ford and allows that King Richard must have been riding in a sliver when he remarked, “My kingdom for a horse.” The original Four Phillips have nn interesting demonstration in forehead balancing. Good act. Grace Huff and company appear In a farfetched comedy affair called “The Trimmer." This sketch Is an extreme pattern In advanced fun. I didn’t care for it, but the audience seemed to. Vincent O’Donnetl is making his annual visit to Keith’s as well as hts annual hit. The Four Ylk-rons. acrobatic offering, opens the hill. With Marion and Edna (excuse the familiarity) on the bill, Keith’s is a great amusement buy this week. Dig Out the Crown, (live It to Holt and Leonard Want to hear old time tunes as well as some newer ones put over the way they should be? Then take a little tip from me and hear Vivian Holt and Myrtle Leonard walk away with a vaudeville bill. These two women capture the very roul of melody. They know how to frame a tune in its most alluring style. They take the "Last Rose of Summer,” and, with their splendid voices and personality, lift this old melody into a commanding position before a “blues” educated public. Holt and Leonard have come Into their own on the vaudeville stage. They do not strut and prance. They sing. Sounds funny to hear real melody without having It butchered by shouting and movements. These two singers know how to create a melody symphony out of words and a tune. And the way the Palace audience are receiving them! Gosh, it’s good to hear real singing on the

vaudeville stage. The longer I write about them, the more I will rave. Jarvis and Harrison have some informal and amusing patter in an act called “Lonesome.” Even a cat and milk bottles are used in this act. The cat reminds me of the closing minutes of “Tangerine.” The Hardy Brothers present hat and Indian club manipulations. The Wilson Sisters, especially the one who offers a travesty on ballet dancing, prevent “A Broadway Revue” from being tiresome. Stanley of this act is all out of place while in a baby carriage. Turner Brothers know how to mix acrobatics and dancing. Good act. Hazel Green and her Beau Brummel orchestra closes the show. It is nicely mounted and dressed in the opening number. I was unable to see all of this act. The movie feature is Mary Miles Minter in “Drums of Fate.” Don’t Miss Holt and Leonard if you enjoy the real article. At the Palace all week. •I- -I- -I- ---“ French Models" on View at the Broadway Johnny Weber, who has become well known in burlesque for his “silk kid” character, is the feature of j the “French Models" at the Broadway this week. He is especially funny in a bit where he plays the part of a sculpture’s son. Another entertaining feature of the show Is the work of Jim Leonard, the second comic. Unless we are all wrong, this chap is a comer in burlesque. Leonard puts over a song fairly well (something unusual for a burlesque comic), and is also quite a ! “hoofer.” j The show, as a whole, runs smoothi ly, has speed and a capable chorus, j Others who tire featured in the cast are Harry 1.. Beasley, Wallace Jacki son, Ruby Wallace, Grace Tremont j and Rose Gordon. (By the Observer.) •!- -I- -!- Rialto Springs New Idea in Show Line To the Rialto goes the credit of j being the first in Indianapolis to apI propriate the title "King Tut” and In I the musical comedy this week, which ; they have named “Hall, King Tut,” 1 they have not only used the title, but have made it the theme of one ..f the best little comedies offered in this house, under the present policy. During the show several song numbers and vaudeville specialties are ; offered. The photoplay offering is “Smilin’ Thru.” starring Norma Talmadge, i which is considered one of the real pictures of the year. (By the Observer.) Eccentric Team Best on Current Lyric Rill The outstanding feature of the new bill at the Lyric is Bensee and Baird in "Songlflage ” The woman of this j team is an eccentric comedienne who knows her business. She knows how jto put over a song Everything she ■ does Is done with splendid knowledge i r,f showmanship. This act easily be ermes the big feature of the show The Six Musial Nosses play a number of musical Instruments well. Act id cel y costumed. Foster and Ray in “After Dinner” engage in some smart patter. Little Pipifax. announced as I the sailor clown, having the assistance of Elsie and Eddie Panlo, open the bill. Pipifax presents some clever acrobatic clowning. One of the Waller Sisters attempts the eccentric comedy stuff. She does fairly well. The other sister is pleasing to see and has a cute musical comedy manner about her. Long and I Jackson show speed when they start to dance. They are colored. They

have a unique way in introducing their dance material. The Jackson Three present some dances. Their work is fair. Bill includes Wood’s comedy mules. At the Lyric all week. T i ~r | On the Screen Today The movies on view today Include: “The Pilgrim," with Charlie Chaplin, at the Circle “Mad Love," with Pola Negri, at the Ohio; Douglas Fairbanks, in “Robin Hood,” at Mister Smith's; “Thorns and Orange Blossoms,” at the Apollo; “Adam and Eva,” at the Colonial, and “The Forbidden Trail,” at the Isis.
