LIQUOR SHIPS ,AT ANCHOR OFF ATLANTIC COAST 210,000 Cases of Rare Scotch Booze Piled High on Decks of Boats 12 Miles Out, By PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent Copyright, 1923, by United Press NEW YORK, June 26.—Piled high on the decks of fourteen steamers, schooners and sloops, twelve miles off Ambrose lightship today, are 210,000 cases of rare Scotch liquor, rye, champagne, brandy, cognac and fine liquors bought from the West Indies and Europe to be smuggled into the United States. It is thirty miles from Broadway via water to the nearest booze ship, but the speedy motorboats of the big international smuggling combines cover it in less than two hours. The speed boats and less pretentious craft of New Jersey and Long Island fishermen are running liquor into the United States at the rate of 5,000 cases a day. Nearly fifty boats are engaged in the business. I Worth $6,300,000. The stock of liquor now on the booze 6hlps is worth $6,300,000 at shipside prices and $16,800,000 to the bootleggers on land. The inner workings and complete details of this gigantic new business were ascertained by the United Press correspondent fr6m personal observation and information during a fourday cruise aboard the armed coast guard cutter Manhattan in pursuit of rum runners off New York. The figures are figured on the averages calculated by experts over a long period of time. The booze capacity of each boat is known. The date of its arrival with a full load is recorded. The date of its departure empty is kept. From these it is accurately estimated how fast the rum vessels dispose of their wares. Officials of the coast guard keep a daily chart of the position of each vessel and are exerting every effort to wipe out the business. With armed boats armed by efficient officers and a trained crew they have succeeded in stopping major operations of the rum runners in daylight. But it would take the entire Navy of the country to prevent smuggling at night. They have chased the liquor ships out to the twelve-mile limit. But they can go no further. American Boats Liquorless During the four days we halted and searched nearly a score of American boats, but no trace of liquor was found. They were either on their way fto the fleet or had tossed their liquor overboard as we neared them. Some of them were “innocent fishermen”— Innocent as the day is long, but when night falls they move on the booze ships and cart their liquor under the cover of darkness. We discovered three rum runners loading. One was a luxurious boat with racing speed. It was drawn alongside the Norwegian steamer Bru. We fired 150 machine gun shots at it in a fifteen-minute chase, but it outdistanced us and escaped toward New York. Another was alongside the French steamer Gerberviller with a launch. The biggest vessels in the fleet are the Bru, Gerberviller, Bernard M., A’.cyon, Wyfax and Mulhouse. All of them are steamers except the Gerberviller, which is a five masted schooner. They carry from 15,000 to 30,000 cases each.

Marian Holmes Makes Stage Debut; ‘Ruined Lady’ Is Not a Shocking Play

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. A STAGE DEBUT generally is an uncertain experience. The first appearance many times makes or breaks an individual. Sometimes a young woman “walks” right into success. A personality success is not an easy thing. Miss Marian Holmes, daughter of Ira Holmes, an Indianapolis attorney, is making her debut with the Grand Players at English’s this week In “The Gold Diggers,” a comedy by Avery Hopwood. As Trixie Andrews, one of the wise? little “diggers” in the comedy, Miss Holmes shows surprising comedy power. She reads her lines well, knows the dangerous business of walking properly across the stage, and above all presents a characterization. Some people, who are new to the stage, appear as their natural self, but Miss Holmes shows that she has aimed at charcter drawing. Her first part with the Grand Players is not just a “walking part,” but she has much to do in the first act. Her gowns are beautiful. Miss Josephine Beverly, also of Indianapolis, is with the Grand Players this week. In this comedy the stock company at English’s is required to give the biggest cast of the current season. Os the “regulars” there are at least five splendid characterizations,'as follows: The Mabel Munroe of Evelyn Watson—a fine slangy characterization. The Jerry Lamar of Jean Oliver — a difficult role, but she handles the famous “souse” scene in the second act In a satisfactory but original manner. The Topsy St. John of Ida Belle Arnold—here is a real gem of “rough” comedy work. She has only to walk across the stage in the last act to make every one yell with glee. Splendid. Miss Arnold is becoming one of the real leaders, from a standpoint of merit, in the Grand Company. The Eleanor Montgomery or Alice Mason —one of those ultra characterizations which ie done in the idea of a jest. Splendid. The James Blake of Larry Sullivan —a carefully drawn comedy study. Then there are many, many others, including Eddy Waller, Margaret Selkirk, Dixie Loftes, James Leßoy, Sydney F. Richards, Norman Wendel, Allan West, Harry Carter, Helen St. Clair. it a little more speed was given the first act and the beginning of the second, I believe that some of the comedy situations which are now lost would take on added importance. That is probably all' taken care of long before you read my idea of the show f Only one .get is used. It is adequate. The lights are handled better this week. The gowns worn by the women are all beautifulMy advice: Dig down into your pocketbook and journey to English’s this week. It is an ambitious undertaking and reflects credit. At English’s all week. -I- -I- -I“Ruined Lady” Is Well Acted by Byington and Others Some time ago Grace George needed a comedy vehicle and so Frances Nordstrom turned out a light little three-act affair called "The Ruined Lady.” Miss George used it for a short time. This week at the-Murat, the Stuart Company is giving this same vehicle with Spring Byington playing the Grace George role. It sparkles with bright lines. The situations are not so well developed in spots, but the whole idea is pleasing comedy. It is one of those well mannered comedies which calls for polite acting. Albert Hackett, Lucile Nikolas, Clark Hoover, Aldrich Bowker, Coates Gwynne, Judith Lowry, Miss Byington, Kay Strozzi and Florence Irving bestow much satisfactory acting upon it. “The Ruined Lady” runs along on its own power when it gets started. The laughs are nicely scattered over the entire play. It is really a satire upon compromise and circumstantial evidence. Many of the lines are brilliant and the acting is even more so. In the competent hands of Miss Byington, Mrs. Bowker and Gwynne, the main comedy idea —the efforts of s woman to compel her suitor to propose to her after she fiad kept company with him for eight years—is smartly developed. Miss Byington is the jolly fake in the hysterical scenes in the second and third acts. It is in the last act that Gwynne crashes through with some high lighted comedy work. He fits well into smart comedy. Bowker is cast a valet who has little faith in modern woman when it comes to safeguarding her health. This valet believes that mustard plasters will cure anybody of everything. Although Bowker’s role is a small one this week, he does it so well that you are bound to remember this quaint characterization. Albert Hacket hasn’t had much of a chance this season to do big things, but he makes the best impression so far by his work in the first act of the Nordstorm comedy It is a juvenile role* and he handles it in a human and natural manner. Although I found this comedy mighty light stuff, I enjoyed it because of the splendid opportunity it gives to Miss Byington. From a scenic standpoint, nothing more is desired. \ At the Murat all week. -I* -I- -I- ' Put Dehaven and Nice in the Hall of Fame If there was such a thing as a vaudeville Hall of Fame, DeHaven and Nice surely would be there. In these two men we have travesty at Its best. It is seldom that there !s so much common sense and comedy artistry displayed on the vaudeville stage as these men possess. The King Charles Brothers bit of DeHaven and Nice stands as a splendid example of what travesty should be. The two men appear in the weird costumes of the time when Charles was king. In this weird attire they dance while they toss and frolic with balloons. The idea is classical, but the method of delivery is rich burlesque. Their Roman gladiator number has some of the charm of the King Charles number, but it is their Blase Sister dance which is the hectic cyclone of ali their stunts. I am surd after ypu see this team at the Lyric you will place DeHaven and Nice,-In your own Hall of Fame.

The truth is the Lyric bill this week is a corker. Rudenoff has a unique offering, that of presenting “smoke” paintings. He places smoke on a table top, and by removing certain parts of the smoke, is able to paint several pictures. He whistles as well as he paints. A real novelty. “Little Cinderella” is a well-dressed, boiled-down musical comedy, with Eva Laßue, several other principals and a chorus of four. The women are splendidly costumed. The Oklahoma Four, remembered from other seasons, are again presenting songs and some clever dancing. Pat and Julie Le Volo have a sort of travesty on wire-walking acts. Clever material. Jack Doran sings well the better sort of songs. Affie Tranger and his girl orchestra closes the show with melody. The saxophone work is excellent. At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -IThree Women Dominate New Variety Bill at Palace y The women win at the Palace the first half of the week. The winners as I see them are:

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

# fiiiy •

Carol and Louise Dore In a piano and violin recital, and, Maureen Englin in songs of nifty syncopation. The Dore Sisters are first of all accomplished musicians. They have that element of class which is so needed on the vaudeville stage. Their program is wisely selected. The result is that good music, the real article, is stopping a vaudeville show at the Palace these days. In the case of Maureen Englin we have an artist in make-up. She too has that great thing, personality and class. Some of her numbers are along popular lines, but her personality lifts them up to individual hits. Her “Louisville Lou” vamp number is expertly handled. Another big hit. McDevitt, Kelly and Quinn are appearing in the rather well known affair called “The Plano Movers and the Actress.” At times the act is flooded with hoakum, but the dance number at the close of the act, puts it into the hit class. Harry Tsuda, a Jap, balances himself and two chairs on'a large ball. Pleasing On the bill is a min-

strel offering known as The All Star Revue. Some of the jokes possess triple pairs of whiskers. Gosh, they are ancient. The quartette does good work. A little reduction in 'running time would help, as they are giving too much. Fred Galetti and Mabel Kokin, with tha. aid of a trained monkey, close th£ bill. The movie feature is “Married People,” a dramatic offering. The bill 'also includes movies of the Indianapolis Shriners at Washington. At the Palace today and Wednesday. Choral Concert Is Postponed The Choral Concert to be given tonight by the Roberts Park Choral Society has been postponed because of the death of one of its members, Mrs. C. B. Sinex. -I- -I* -INew Management Presents Pleasing Comedy at Rialto Bowen and Medley's presentation, "The Angel Child,” which is the first offering of the new management at the Rialto, is much superior to the tabloid musical comedies which have been the custom in this house. A light comedian, whose name is not mentioned, holds the center of attention throughout most of the show. This young man has some real ability. A male quartette of harmony singers is a feature. They proved an asset to the show. There is a large and well trained chorus who dance well and make many costume changes. The principal women are capable. “The Angel Child” concerns a bet made on the world series- between two young married men. The one who loses agrees to do anything the other asks of him for one month. In this case the winner demands that the other disguise as a house maid. The trouble which follows makes up the plot of the piece. A Jail scene that is really a pickout number for the chorus girls is one of the best bits of the show. The company carries special scenery and wardrobe. The program includes Harold Lloyd in “Safety Last.” Great comedy. There will be a complete change of program Thursday.—-(By the Observer.) -I- -I- -I* The movies on view today include: “Children of Dust;” at the Circle; “Westbound Limited,” at the Apollo; “A Man of Action," at Mister Smith's; "The Hero,” at the Ohio,” and "Dead Game,” at the Isis. Rings Missing Miss Irene Wiley, 705 N. New Jersey St., told police that she left a lodge ring and a ring set with five chip diamonds, valued at S6O, in an uypatairs room Monday night and that they were missing when she returned twenty minutes later.
