GOMPERS WRITES IN LEGION PAPER Labor Leader Points Out Opportunities, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, is the author of the leading article'in the August number of the Hoosier Legionnaire, official organ of the Indiana Department of the American Legion, circulated today. "Relations between the labor movement of our country and the American Legion have been cordial and helpful,” says Gompers, "largely because both of these great movements have much the same concern for our future and the same high aims in dealing with the affairs of the present. “We have in America the institutions and agencies through which to achieve every good thing. We need but to understand our surroundings, utilize our opportunities and go forward through mutual agreement. “Let us have knowledge and Little else will be denied us.” COUNTY METHODISTS WILL RALLY AUG. 7 Central Avenue M.

Madame Arrives With Parrot and Dog; Something New in Dances at Lyric
By WALTER D. HICKMAN Ii ADAME carried her own M scenery and effects with her. I When Madame entered her home the stage was all set. Even the parrot, the pet dog. a screen, pictures of her friends were all present when Madame sailed in with her ten tons of temperament. You will meet Madame, the dog, the parrot and all the other effects in Stuart Walker’s production of "En ter Madame.” at the Murat this week. This is the comedy of temperamental grand opera life which made Gilda Varesi a success. I always have had a desire to see Miss Varesi in the role of Madame Lisa Delia Robbia. In the Walker production. Spring Bvington is Madame. And what a Madame she is. She not only looks the part but acts It with splendid knowledge of the opportunities offered. I believe that “Enter Madame” is Miss Byington’s best contribution to the current Walker season. “Enter Madame” is magnificent theater. It is full of atmosphere, and at times delicately pointed comedy. Two of the “delicate” situations are when the divorced husband of Madame’s decides to forget that he and Madame are divorced and when Madame’s son in the last act asks, “Why was I born, now I ask you?” This is delicious comedy with a nifty kick. Nothing wrong because the comedy is done in ultra fine taste. This comedy is a delicious adventure into the temperamental outbursts of a grand opera singer. It Is in the first act that Spring Byington registers so splendidly. In her temperamental cyclones. Miss Byington Is marvelous. In the second act Miss Byington, during the exquisite table scene, shows that Madame has a real heart. In the third act. Madame lets you know that she again has conquered her divorced husband, and that everything will be happy until Madame becomes “crazy” again. Coates Gwynne is Madame’s husband, who at first rebels against Madame’s theatrical existence, and In Ihe end husband Is again happy to carry Madame's pet dog as she embarks upon another concert tour. Kay Strozzi again proves her worth to the Walker organization by some really fine work In the third act. She Is cast as Mrs. Flora Preston, a widow, who was so nice when she thought she had a chance to capture Madame’s husband following the divorce. Judith Lowry Is playing the colorful part of Bice. Madame’s maid. Is It necessary to say that Mrs. Lowry is excellent? No, because it Is Judith Lowry. Others in the cast are William Ev arts. Beulah Bondy, L’ Estrange Millman, Lucile Nikolas, Corbet Morris and Norvin Gable. From a scenic standpoint, nothing more could be desired. At the Murat all week. T -I- -IA Bit of Clever Travesty on Current Bill at Lyric The Elliott-Johnson Revue at the Lyric this week is*presenting a clever bit of dance-travesty. Thro of the women offer their conception of a Spanish dance. One of the women dresses the character in a weird Spanish outfit, including some noisy overshoes. The other one uses a shawl for a dress and fans hercelf with what was once a fan. In place of decorating the dress with lace, she wears "fruit.” This dance travesty is the high light of this team. Hugo Lutgens announces that he is “The Swede Billy Sunday.” He uses a telephone book as the source of his text. The subject of his discourse is “The Sins of Ravenswood.’’ Lutgens explains that the act is done in the spirit of fun. Princeton and Vernon engage in some exquisite slang while falling in love during “Brown Derby Bill.” The man of this team delivers his slang In a breezy and refreshing sort of way. The woman is cast as a broke actress of the stranded “Road to Ruin” company. This act has no trouble in gett ng over. “Marriage vs. Divorce” Is a noisy, silly and at times a foolish offering. It is not up to the Lyric's standard of headline attractions. The Giuliani Trio, composed of two women and a man, are singers. They are billed as "Society Soloists.” The Hori Trio, Japanese acrobats, open the bill. A good offering. Paul Klelst closes the bill with his offering In pantomime, “In the Land
Chinese Singer Pleases on New Palace Bill
m ' LADY TSK.V it El One may not be able to pronounce the lady’s name, but one can enjoy her singing and barnyard Imitations. She Is pleasing patrons at the Palace the first half of the week with her songs. of Dreams.” This act will tickle and please the children. At the Lyric all week.
100° in the Shade or 10° below Zero! One hundred degrees in the shade or ten below zero, meat deliveries to your retailer go steadily on, so that you may be assured of just the kind and quality of meat that you desire. No city is so far removed from live stock production that it cannot receive its regular supply of fresh meats. Compare this with the meat supply of thirty or forty years ago. Summer weather then meant salt or pickled meats in the country, and a limited variety of fresh meats in most cities. Refrigeration, developed by scientists, has made it possible for Swift ft Company, and other packers, to prepare fresh meats and ship them long distances in refrigerator cars, so that today, without regard to heat or cold, meat reaches your dealer fresh, clean, and wholesome. In addition to the fresh meats thus available, Swift ft Company prepares a variety of tempting meats for hot weather: Swift’s Premium Cooked Ham, mild and sweet, smoked over hard wood fires, is always delicious. Swift’s Premium Frankfurt*, from our modem sanitary kitchens, offer a choice blending of meats and spices. Swift’s Sausage Specialties and Swift's Dry Sausage, ready to serve, help lighten the housewife’s summer task. In addition to these, a score of other Summer Specialties are made available by Swift ft Company’s research and development work. Our profit from all sources averages only a fraction of a cent a pound. Swift & Company, U. S. A. Indianapolis Local Branch, 223-7 Kentucky A vo, R. D. Murphy, Manager

“Boston Blackie” Story on View at Mister Smith’s "Boston Blackie,” the picture which opened at Mister Smith’s Monday, Is made from Jack Boyle’s story "The Water Cross.” Tho story deals with Blackle’s struggle for prison reform. The picture opens with Blackie, played by William Russell, "doing a stretch” In prison. The warden of torture called the ® sure stream of |p on the offender $f ; Wj until he Is almost • > ' crushed. sL - J When Blackle’s ‘ M pal is killed by this. Blackie If?JfI’IP swears to get the f warden his just ? dues. When his 9 A term Is served he Wm/M J W-k.A'.'-j acquires a news- wsf paper and makes WILLIAM prison reform its RUSSELL issue. He arranges to be caught in the distrclt attorney’s home In order that he may be sent bgt-k to prison to get evidence against the warden. He breaks into the house and findk the attorney dead. The police find him there and he Is sentenced to life imprisonment. There he narrowly escapes the water cross hiryself. After a thrilling escape and chase he is recaptured. But the real murderer, who Is shot in the attempt to escape, makes a deathhed confession which exonerates Blackie and brings about the downfall of the warden. William Russell Is right at home In this type of picture, and so is E%-a Novak, who plays opposite him Both do some good work Frank Brownley also is well cast as the brutal warden. Round Five of “Fighting Blood” and a news reel are also shown. At Mister Smith’s the remainder of the week. (By Observer.) -I- -I- -IJulius Caesar Mas (leopatra’s Old, Ihiar Historical Sweetie Do you know who Julius Caesar really was? Well, he was Cleopatra’s "sweetie.” How do I know? My authority Is Dan Stanley and A1 Blrnes at the Palace at the present time. They admit this historical "fact.” These two men are the ones who re registering a complete victory on the new bill at the Palace. These men are eccentric dancers and they tie up their hoofing with some of the smartest patter I have heard this summer. In one of their dances they give
their conception of Ruth St. Denis in a classical dance. Here is a travesty gem. These two men have something new in the dance line and they deliver it in splendid style. Lady Tsen Mei is on the bill. I pay my respects to her under picture. Jim McCool, Tommy Reilly and Katherine Murray register a hit with their Irish songs in "Those Were the Days.” The ability of Reilly to sing Irish love songs makes this act good entertainment. Stanley, Tripp and Mowatt are hat jugglers. The Seven Arabian Knights have an acrobatic offering along the whirlwind idea.. The movie feature is Eva Novak in "Dollar Devils.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. -I- ‘l’ -IThe movies on view today include; “Boston Blackie,” at Mister Smith’s; "Trilby,” at the Circle; “Backbone,” at the Ohio; "Trifling With Honor,” at the Apollo: “The Birth of a Nation,’’ at the Rialto and “Shoctln’ for Love,” at the Isis.

How We Are Helping You to Get Good Coal A few days ago an Indianapolis dealer advertised “Pocahontas” lump coal at $9.75 per ton. Investigation, instituted by this Bureau, revealed the fact that this dealer had made no purchases of “Pocahontas,” did not have any in stock and had none coming in. The coal advertised as “Pocahontas” was a somewhat similar coal, lacking some of the most desirable qualities of “Pocahontas,” which had been purchased at such a price that the dealer could well afford to sell it at $9.75 per ton. The newspapers promptly refused to run further advertising of this coal as “Pocahontas” and it is now being truthfully advertised under its proper name. Things like this are constantly coming to our attention, either directly or through the Better Business Bureau, and we are working together in investigating and correcting these evils. The Better Business Bureau will confirm our statement that we are cooperating with them closely and whole-heartedly in a relentless war against false advertising and unscrupulous dealing of any kind. We are all battling together to _ Force All Dealers to Play Fair With the Public Before you yield to the temptation of any alluring but possibly unscrupulous coal advertisement, call either this office or the Better Business Bureau and let us investigate it for you. We’ll find out the facts and give you an honest report on it. If you. have already yielded and have any doubts about the coal that has been delivered to yon, tell us about it. We’ll be glad to investigate and make every effort to secure a proper adjustment if any unfair dealing is found. In thus serving the public we make no discriminations. Our fight is against tha dishonest dealer, whether he be a member of this Bureau or not. Buy from Reliable Established Dealers However, the coal merchants who are named below, as members both of the Better Business Bureau and the Commercial Credit, Audit and Correct Weights Bureau, are pledged to these organizations and to the public to deliver to every customer full weight and measure of exactly what is ordered and to give you a square deal in every respect. A square deal means conscientious counsel as to the kind of coal that will give you tho best service, and reliable representation as to the quality of the coal that you buy.

You can also make doubly sure of getting the kind of coal you want by buying early, when you have the choice of the market. If you wait until cold weather comes, when the demand will exceed the supply, your selection will naturally be limited to whatever the dealer can furnish.
