Moore. 49, wealthy broker and former president of the Kansas City Board of Trade. Moore’s mutilated body was found on the railroad tracks near the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul bridge, just outside the city. His pockets had been turned inside out. Bruises on the right side of the head. Coroner Smith said, were caused before Moore was struck by a train and his body severed. The broker apparently had been dead for several hours when a freight crew Sunday discovered his mangled form. The suicide theory was given credance. but business associates who talked with Moore a few hours before his death said he was in the best of spirits. He had suffered no financial reverses, friends and relatives said. C. W. Lawless, the dead man's business parther, said it was his belief Moore had been robbed and then thrown on the tracks. Lawless said Moore had carried a large sum of money when he left the office Saturday night. A ten and a one dollar bill and a wrist watch were found near the body, indicating it had been dropped by the supposed robbers when they hurried from the scene after placing ths body on the tracks. Moore’s motor car was still parked in the front of the office building Sunday.

Fighter’s Sponge Becomes an Iceberg; Ruth Page Does a Weird Dance Movie

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. A PRIZE FIGHTER is a fighter whether the mercury is “boiling” in the sun or "freezing” at 10 below zero. That was my impression after seeing Reginald Denny In the “Third Leather Pushers Series,” which opened yesterday as one of the features at the Apollo. The fight was staged in a northern log camp v here the mercury was considered tame when it registered 10 below zero. The fighters didn't seem to mind the cold, but the sponge froze up and turned into an iceberg. The “Leather Pushers,” first edition, paved the wa?> for the so-called “knockout” photoplay. Since then there have been various series. In the new series we see the “Kid,” played by Denny, trying to recover from some serious financial reverses. The first tight staged in the comeback is an open-air fight staged in mid-winter. Here indeed is a novel idea. 1 can easily see the great vogue of Denny and the “Leather Pushers” series. Each one I have seen has been a complete story in ffselr and all the fights have been scientific, not brutal knockout affairs, but nearly evenly matched touts. ' Every one likes a square fight and these series have championed clean fighting. The whole idea is pleasing and the movie population all over the country seems to like ’em. On the same bill is a movie adaption of HaJ Reid’s melodramatic thriller, “Human Hearts." King Baggot, who. formerly, was a matinee screen, idol, has turned director. “Human Hearts” is one of his pictures. The cast is full of well-known names, such as House Peters, Edith Hallor, Gertrude Claire, Mary Philbin. Russell Simpson, George West and others. * The piettire is full of “home and mother” touches. It is the small town and Main St. all dressed up like a Fourth of July parade. Even the old boys indulge In their favorite patime. thro win’ horse shoes. “Human Hearts" Is a melodrama with a heart to it. There/is much suffering, a wrecked home and a blind mother. There also is a fine gang of vlllainsIf melodrama is your liking, then "Human Hearts" is a good choice. At the Apollo all week. -I- -I- -I- j Our Own Ruth Page Does Something New Os ter hayp I asked mvself this question: Why doesn't some art director make a dance movie?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I best dancers, contributed to the world by Indianapolis, and Adolf Bolm. The result is @ being show this Douglas Mac Lean tlon.” The dance movie is a radical departur e fr->m the regular run of ment. It is arsame time very weird. The dance theme makes it weird. This movie shows great possibilities for the developing of the MacLEAN “ dance movie.” Such films give a musical director a great chance. It really means anew day for the movie theater which loves to do artistic things. Ruth Page is a great artist of the dance, and she photographs remarkably well. She can tell an entire story by her facial expression. That Is art. And she owns two expressive feet. Rather think you will enjoy this Page-Bolm dance movie. I did. Since Douglas Mac Lean made a home run In “The Hottentot,” we have been waiting for his return In another comedy. He has it In “A Man of Action.” It might be called “What Little Burglar Has the Diamonds?” It is a mystery comedy film. It has action and plenty of suspense. You will suspicion every one in the cast, even our hero until the diamonds show up In the proper place. I believe that Mac Lean has a good chance to become one of the dominating comedy figures on the screen. He knows how to develop a comedy situation. He doesn't over act any more. Lately he has been fortunate In obtaining worth-while vehicles. This Mac Lean comedy is light, but pleasing screen entertainment. The bill includes a Mermaid comedy. a news weekly and the Circle orchestra music. At the Circle all week. ' •M--I-A Few More Words On the Snow Movies. This department previously has given much space and time to the H. A. Snow pictures. "Hunting Big Game in Africa.” These pictures are on view this week at Mister Smith’s. I cannot recommend these pictures too highly. Snow has given us an animated wild animal book. Nothing finer and bigger has ever been done along this line.

Don’t get the impression that these pictures are “tame.” Gosh, the animals are far from being tame. R is not dull science, but a marvelous adventure in wildest Africa. Every parent should see that the children witness the Snow pictures. It is a combination of education and adventures. The city school teachers have a chance here to recommend a real picture. Don’t miss the Snow wild animal pictures at Mister Smith’s this week. That’s my idea. -|. -|. -|. Prize Fighters Live on Love and Sundaes “Fighting Blood” is another contribution the prize fightin’ fad which now is so popular on the screen. At the Ohio this week is the Seventh Round of “Fighting Blood.” On the same bill is “Lost end Found,” t-asag? with House Pe/py ters, Mary Jane Irving and Pauline S t ark e. : fSSMpW Youths are the principal fighters !*> mijM In ‘Fighting P Blood ” The whole ID ... lEjjjp atmosphere is c^ar " ec * with inOur fighting hero p seems to get his knockout blows i. . from kisses and b ice cream sundaes. Seems like v M a strange diet, but the “food” MARY JANE seems to do the IRVING work. The seventh round has a corking good fight between two youngsters. The fight covers lots of film footage and the fight is some fight. The square fighter always wins in these series, especially when his best girl is near the ropes to wink him on to victory. Several good small-time types are introduced. Good entertain ment. “Lost and Found” has so many people in its cast that one gets the Impression that an entire South Sea Island with several thousand natives were used. The big soeen is a fight between two bands of natives. Hundreds of fighters are used to advantage. The fight Is staged at night and the effects have been splendidly worked out. The title of the South Sea Island movie nearly tells the entire story. It concerns a father who rescues his daughter from an island people by savages. Pauline Starke is transformed In'o an olive-colored heroine. Little Mary Jane Irving does some pleasing work. I must say a word about the music

this week at tlje Ohio. Schuyler Alward and his orchestra are. jazzing up the atmosphere with some real syncopation. The saxophone players are real players. Every player knows how to play the music of the day. Alward has assembled a band of good players and they are making a home for themselves at the Ohio. At the Ohio all week. -I- -I- -IWell, Well, Tommy Meighan Parts His Hair in the Middle Who remembers when Thomas Meighan had dark curly hair parted in the middle? W r e had forgotten It ourselves until we saw him playing opposite Norma Talmadge, who is starred in "The Heart of current attraction at the Isis. Yes, Tommy with his "permanent wave” and Norma with her “youthful girlish figure,” make an interesting pair, after having seen each of them In starring roles. The story concerns the daughter of an Indian chief, a proud member of the Black Foot Tribe, who falls in love with a white man. She is chosen as the honored virgin of a com dance ceremony but refuses to go on with it and acknowledges her affair with the white man. This being a serious offense to the Indian tribe, they immediately prepare for battle. The white man, whose name the ; girl refuses to divulge. Is an expelled cadet from West Point who was given a position by the U. S. Government agent of the Indian reservation. The j chief follows the <girl to the government agent's home. Believing him to be the guilty one, the chief forces the government man to marry the girl, which he does willingly to avert trouble.

FEARED SHE HEART TROUBLE Mrs. Brown Suffered So From Indigestion She Could Hardly Breathe. Mrs. Charles Brown, highly esteemed resident of 215 Broadway St., Vincennes, Ind., is still another to find out by personal experience that the Tanlac treatment accomplishes wonderful results. "There is no medicine to equal Tanlac. I suffered from stomach trouble so bad I couldn't enjoy a meal, and everything I ate caused me terrible agony from cramps, pains and bloating of gas, which almost cut off my breath and affected my heart so queerly I thought sure I had heart trouble. I had such weak, dizzy spells I was afraid to go out doors alone. “Well, I was getting worse every day, but Tanlac has changed things right around for me. I eat three big meals every day now and enjoy them heartily, for my digestion seems perfect. I am so strong and well my housework is easy. What Tanlac has done for me surely is wonderful, and I’ll always praise it to the highest." Tanlac is for sale by all good druggists. Accept no substitute. Over 37 million bottles sold. Tanlac Vegetable Pills are Nature’s own remedy for constipation. For sale everywhere.—Adv.
