RED LIGHT MAN GIVES TESTIMONY IN TRUCK CRASH City Employ Makes Statement Concerning Replacement of Safety Lamp, Elton Newhart, 633 Riley Ave., city red-light man, made this statement today In connection with the motor accident early Sunday at Pratt and Meridian Sts., in which Fireman Louis C. Lauth was killed when a fire truck struck an unlighted mushroom safety light: “I received a call from police about 11 p. m., Oct. 6, that the mushroom lights at Pratt and Meridian Sts. and Twenty-Second and Meridian Sts. were out. I reached Pratt and Meridian Sts. shortly after 11 p. m. I was unable to repair the light and set next to it a red lantern in plain view from all corners. “I then went to Twenty-Second and Meridian Sts., repaired the light there and started for the city yards. As I crossed Pratt and Meridian Sts. again I saw that some motorist had destroyed the light I placed there a few minutes before. I put another in its place, determined that It was working properly and returned to the yards. "The end of my workday Is 2 a. m., at which time I went home. I used to work to 4 a. m., but it made too long a day and the city reduced my pay and hours, and Instructed the police department to take care of all calls after 2 a. m. At 3 a. m., I am told, a call came In that the light at Pratt and Meridian St. was out again, but police were told the red light man had gone home, off duty. The accident happened after I had gone home.” CITY COURT CASES SHOW BJGINCREASE Traffic Violations Blamed for Business Rush, Indianapolis need another police court if the docket continues as heavy for the remainder of the year as it has the first nine months, court attaches say. Statistics obtained from Judge Delbert O. "Wilmeth shew that 25,559 cases have been tried by the city court to date, as compared with 20,267 for the same time last year. A large percentage of the Increase is attributed to the convictions for minor traffic violations, Judge Wllmeth said. Records in the city clerk’s office show $156,202.65 collected in fines and costs this year. At the three-quarter mark of 1922, $128,207.30 had been taken in through convictions. A measure providnig for an additional city court was vetoed by Governor McCray at the last meeting of the Legislature.

Howard Brings Best Revue to Keith’s; Haig at Palace —Hamp Scenes Funny

By WALTER D. HICKMAN [“T") OSEPH E. Howard and EthelI I yn Clark in "Etchings From Le—l Life” have brought the best revue that Keith’s has housed since I have been taking the artistic temperature of actors and acts. I am measuring and watching my words because these so-called vaudeville revues generally give kne *a terrible pain in the head. The company is generally one-sided but not so with the Howard-Clark combination. “Etchings From Life”- is rich in pictorial color. There are five complete changes of scenery. The revue opens with “Brunswick Town,” phonograph number, during which a dancing maiden does some fancy stepping upon a machine. Then Howard and Miss Clark appear singing from the music box. Between each scene, James J. Morton, that very droll Individual who looks like an undertaker, sadly announces the glory of each scene. Morton is good for many laughs and he gives this act lots of interesting personality. In the second scene, we meet eight of the Wooden Soldiers, dancing girls in a splendid impression of the Russian vaudeville craze. Here we have perfect stepping. It is in the third scene, the concert number, that we get acquainted with the Concert Lady Orchestra. The costumes, the scenery and asong by Miss Clark make this scene one of rare beauty. Tillis and La Rue, two magnificent dancers, have a ballet number here. These dancers would bring credit to any act. It is in the fourth scene that Howard introduces many of his famous song hits. The revue ends with a Louis XI •wedding\ a really beautiful tetagl? picture. Howard has .brought to Keith’s the best mounted and best acted revue that Keith’s has ever housed since I have been here. This act is the real thing. Jack Inglis and Gene Winchester go In for nonsense, mostly along the travesty order. Charles Irwin has Individual material and a delivery which is ajl his own. He even causes the ochestra to disappear. Jim and Betty Morgan-—what a team this is. Miss Morgan knows how to select a song and then put it over to telling effect. Jim knows the piano and is on more than speaking terms with tha violin. They stopped ! the show “cold” yesterday afternoon, j Jane Dillon accomplishes the impossible. She impersonates male characters—an old man from a small town, the oldest citizen of Posey County and a Klondike gold miner. Here is finished work. A really splendid artist, each characterization is complete, from voice to costume. Larry Meehan .and Gertrude Newman have a smart introduction. Meehan lands solid while dancing to his own harmonica music. The show is opened by the Three Original Blanks, a juggling act which can teach alj the others some new things. A really big, classy show Is on view at Keith’s all week.

Plenty of Talent on New BUI a* Palace The melody of an exceptional male quartette, an artistic seeing and Trixie Hicks, a dancer and singer, make “IJttle Driftwood” a pleasing headline act at the Palace. This act has a light plot and the songs carry the actio. Trlixe is “Little Driftwood.” who has wandered to Greenwich Village and applies to four artists for employment. Jaod dancing and well arranged songs. A pair of youthful entertainers nearly snatched the headline honors with an act that is full of pep and novelty. Byron and Haig were these two performers and they were really entertaining. They used a “book of vaudeville” to introduce their numbers, some of which were well executed burlesques of vaudeville acts. Their voices were above the average, and their personalities would rank high. And William Haig and Betty Byron are exceedingly good to look upon. Brooks and Morgan have a clever dialogue on the objections of father to the suitor’s singing. Morgan has a good voice and he gets good support from Miss Brooks. A1 Ross of Ross and Foss, astonished the audience with his versatility, playing six different instruments. | Miss Foss has a pleasing voice. The bill was given a good start by the Five Avalons, who had an entertaining tight-wire act. Three worn-

98 OUT OF EVERY 100 WOMEN BENEFITED An Absolutely Reliable Statement Important to Every Woman Remarkable "Results Shown by a Nation Wide Canvass of Women Purchasers of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. 50,000 Women Answer

For some time a circular has been enclosed with each bottle of our medicine bearing this question; “Have you received benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound?” Replies, to date, have been received from over 60,000 women answering that question. 98 per cent of which say YES. That means that 98 out of every 100 women who take the medicine for the ailments for which it is recommended arc benefited by it. This is a most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it. Think of it —only two women ont of 100 received no benefit —98 successes out of a possible 100. Did you ever hear anything like it? We must admit that we, ourselves, are astonished.

Such evidence should induce every woman suffering from anv ailment peculiar to her sex to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and see if she can't be one of the 98. The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Lynn, Maw, Atiftto—t.

(By the Observer.) •I- -I- -I* It Might Be Reunion Week at the Lyric There are a number of well known vaudeville players on the current bill at the Lyric. Gautier’s Animated Toy Shop, in which trained ponies and dogs go through their many stunts, is the headline attraction. The ponies, by' their work in a drill number, prove they have been well trained. This act is a standard vaudeville attraction. Splendid for the children. Vera Sabina is a dancer who is well known. She has a partner this season. He is not named on the program. Their best number is an Argentine dance. The act Is nicely costumed and mounted. Major Rhoades, who is we\J known av “The Street Urchin,’’ is back with Ills tantalizing violin. Still registers heavy. Charles Lindholm and assistants offer a playlet called "The Man From Minnesota,” in which every one gets mixed up with everybody in the

ASPIRIN Say “Bayer”-Genuine! j§&) Genuine “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" have been prescribed by physicians over twenty-three years and proved safe by millions for Colds and grippe misery. Handy boxes of twelve tablets cost only few cents at any drug store. Each package contains proper directions £or Colds and tells how to prepare an Aspirin gargle for sore throat and tonsilitia. MOTHER! Children Cry for “Fletcher’s Castoria. ' —Advertisement.

Os course we know thatpur medicine does benefit the larfe majority of women who take it But that only two out of 100 received no benefit is most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailments—not a cure all —one that is made by the most scientific process ; not from drugs, but from a combination of nature's roots and herbs, can and does do more good than hastily prepared prescriptions. You see, we have been making, improving and refining this medicine for over 60 years until it is so perfect and so well adapted to women’s needs that it actually has the virtue to benefit 98 out of every 100 women who take it. Its reliability and recognized efficiency has gained for it a sale in almost every country in the world —leading all others.

Another well-known act Is the Gallerinl Sisters, who play the violin, saxophone and other instruments. Stone and Wood offer a number of travesty stunts. Their best is Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean. The Mcßanns in “Fun in a Farm Yard” open the bill. At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -tIlamp Turns Out to Be An Interesting Comedian I. B.

learning to be a hold-up man. There is some excellent comedy in this scene and in a specialty act by Hamp and Lou Denny. Gertrude Beck is a singer who seems to be overflowing with pep and personality, and she puts all of her numbers over strong. She deserves headline honors. Miss Roselia did not have as many songs as her unusual soprano voice deserved. Ann Myers was well chOßen for her specialty act, but was miscast in several othei parts of the show. IvOu Denny filled in well in some of the scenes, and Arthur Young appeared in minor roles. The Frasier Trio played stringed instruments In the first scene and in a specialty act with Miss Beck. This was one of the most entertaining events on the bill and stopped the show.
