'INDIANA UTILITIES COST LESS THAN U. SEWERAGES’ About $1,500,000 Saved as Result of Stable Rate for Electricity, Because electricity rates were not Increased In Indiana during the war, consumer ewere saved In the neighborhood of 1,500,000, John W. McCardle, chairman of the public service commission, said today. McCardle said he based his conclusion on statictles recently compiled through attaches In his office. Reports from thirty-six States In which regulatory bodies similar to the Indiana commission operate show that Indiana, in 1921, paid 18.1 per cent less in telephone rates, 88.8 per cent less for gas and 18.9 per oent less for electricity than the average cf other States. These figures are from the present rate scale In this State, with the exception of recent gas and telephone Increases, he said. Despite these Increases It Is probable that Indiana’* rates are still considerably lower than the average of the other States, hesaid. BALLOON TIRES LAUDED WQI Become Standard Equipment in Future, Speaker Says. Balloon tire* eventually will become standard equipment for pleasure cars, J. F.

Bernard and Carr Open Engagement Monday

In re-unljtlng Barney Bernard and Alexander Carr for “Partners Again,” the new Potash and Perlmutter comedy by Montague Glass and Jules Eckert Goodman, Arch Selwyn accomplished a managerial feat In fifteen minutes, other theatrical managers have striven In vain for three years to accomplish. Barney Bernard and Alexander Carr have Indulged In a sued since their last appearance together In “Business Before Pleasure” for two seasons from 1917 to 1919, No manager has since been able to bridge It with either argument or diplomacy. In such a situation there didn’t seem much chance of bringing together the two men who made Abe and Mawruss nationally famous stage figures In the comedy which finds them quarreling as hard as ever, in the automobile business, until the Selwyns became interested In the production of “Partnery Again." "It’s the funniest of all the Potash and Perlmutter plays, but it must have Barpey Bernard and Alexander Carr, back In the popular characters.” said Arch Selwyn to A. H. Woods. Selwyn accomplished the trick. Bernard and Carr will play the leading roles when "Partners Again” opens a week’s engagement Monday night at the Murat. The shrinera will give a theater party on the opening night. + -|- -JToe Dancer at Palace Shows Real Class and Talent It is not a hard Job to find the outstanding feature on the week-end bill at the Palace. It is the work of a toe dancer In the act of Babb, Carroll and Syrell. Am unable to give the name of the dancer but she stays on her toes longer than the average artist of this class. She made me move forward and watch what was going on. The man Is a good dancer. The entire act has class and reflects real talent. _ Harry Walman and his seven piece lady orchestra Is far from being a knockout attraction. Why In the world Walman plays "Yes, We Have No Bananas” so many different ways Is a mystery to me. I have been handed this banana song so often on the vaudeville stage since Labor Day that I am getting sick and tired of it- Surely there Is at least some other tune In the world besides this banana thing. Mack and La Rue dance nicely on roller skatea.' The Four Entertainers are singers of average ability. Wheeler and Potter open their act with the woman of the team doing a scrub woman characterization. She later appears in a marvelous evening gown. The screen feature Is “You Are Guilty” with James Kirkwood. At the Palace today, Saturday and

Sunday. (Reviewed by Walter D. Illckman.) + -I- + Other attractions Include: "Tb* Covered Wagon” at English’s; Joseph E. Howard and Ethelyn Clark In “Etchings From Life” at Keith’s; Warren and O’Brien at the Lyric; “Potash and Perlmutter” at the Circle; “Why Worry?” at the Apollo; Richard Talmadge In “Putting It Over” at the Isla; “Queens of Paris” at the Capitol; tabloid burlesque at the Broadway; “The Destroying Angel” at the Ohio; "When the Desert Calls” at tne Rialto and “Hollywood” at Mister Smith’s.
