Twelve of the fourteen body styles were displayed, all of them following entirely new lines and reflecting a decided foreign influence in the matter of radiator and hood contours. In higher priced closed cars, the top is modeled wdth a pronounced curve at the back, repeated in the back windows. Lines from the body top continue in a well-defined line to the radiator. Other features include barrel headlights, nickeled radiators on the sixes, beaded hoods on the fours, crown fenders, operating instruments designed in the same pattern as the headlights, and a noticeably higher

The power plant has been entirely reconstructed and will develop seventy horsepower as against fifty of last year, salesmen claim. The mechanical feature of the car ■which will be most used for advertising purposes is the newly designed four-wheel brake. It is operated the same as any other brake and prevents skidding, beside allowing the car to be stopped with ease In less space than formerly, It is claimed. The new building of the local company will not be fully in use for about thirty days, according to J.

Cohan Tells How He Gets Laughs in Latest Comedy

By JAMES W. DEAN. j "~1 EW YORK, Aug. 1. —A firstI I Dlshter said to me the other I * i evening, “It’s a strange thing, Isn't it, how Cohan's comedies always go big with the public, even though they don’t go so well with the critics?” If George M. Cohan’s comedies fail to “go big” with the critics the answer is simple—he doesn’t give the critics much to write about. Cohan can keep the play-goer in high spirits and the critics In good humor while they are in the theater. Then when the reviewer sits down a* his typewriter and begins to say something that will entertain his readers he finds he has nothing at hand. George Cohan knows how to make casual, familiar situations entertaining and the usual critic must have something unusual to deal with before he can make his stuff worth reading. Cohan’s Latest Is Studied for Laughs Consider “Two Fellows and a Girl,” the latest Cohan comedy. The biggest laugh in that comes when a young husband who has tarried a bit at the nineteenth hole at the golf course is late for dinner. When his wife calls his delinquency to his attention he sits down and begins, “Now. I’ll tell you just how it was!” I defy any juggler of words to set down that situation in type so that

it will appeal to the risibilities of his readers. It just can’t be done. On the other hand, Cohan can take a string of sentences that would sound like a monologue of a village gossip at a sewing circle if set down in print and put them in the mouths of his players in such a way that every line seems sparkling wit. It isn’t what is said in a Cohan comedy so much as how it is said. And no Impresario of the stage knows quite so well as Cohan how things ought to be said. It is a Simple Story That He Tells The story of “Two Fellows and a Girl” is very simple. The girl decides between the two fellows by tossing a coin. A space of five years and the unsuccessful suitor returns. The girl, though married, still feels a claim on the one she rejected. The difficult thing for each of the three is to stifle a natural Jealousy and envy and the situation nearly amounts to an unhappy climax when a flapper steps in and captures the rejected suitor. That’s the play. Conventional in situation and in line. Ruth Shepley and the two,fellows. John Halliday and Allan Dineha-rt, are called upon to behave rather unnaturally in several situations. Considering these factors the play is dull, but the technique of

staging must be considered. That factor is enough to assure the audience a diverting evening and the play a long run on Broadway. In Indianapolis Theaters and Movies Wednesday Indianapolis theaters today are presenting: “Enter Madame” at the Murat,” Princeton and Vernon at the Lyric, McCool and Reilly at the
