IMPORTANT H EW MOVIE RELEASES DUE NEXT m ‘Spanish Dancer,’ Little Johnny Jones' and ‘lf Winter Comes’ Booked, | EXT week’s movies in Indianapolis theaters will include some of the more important ne *• releases. ‘ If Winter Comes,” a Fox production, will claim attention at the Ohio, beginning Sunday afternoon. The Circle will present Pola Negri ‘ The Spanish Dancer.” The Apollo .11 feature “Little Johnny Jones” wi!h Johnny Hines. "Big Dan” will be at the Isis the lii st half of the week. “Rupert of H'ntzau” will be at Mister Smith’s. The Lincoln Square will offer “The h air Chest.” “Spanish Dancer” with Pola Negri at Circle Pola Negri comes to the Circle Sunday hi “The Spanish Dancer.” a romaT ;ic etory adapted from the story. 'TX**! Cesar De Bezan,” by Adolphe D'Ennery and P. S. P. Dumanoir. The star appears as a leautiful young dancing girl, who belongs to a roving band of gypsy entertainers. She meets and falls in love with a young Spanish nobleman, and is plunged into a whirl of events involving the King and Queen of Spain before she is finally married to her noble lover. A special feature of the program next week will be the playing of C. Sharpe-Minor, who is remaining at the Circle for a limited engagement, and who is presenting two more of his original compositions: the first, “A Musical Tale,” a romance told in song titles and first lines, and the second. “Smiies,” a paraphrase on the once popular fox trot. The orchestra will play “Morning, Noon and Night.” by Franz V. Suppe, as the overture, and the Circlette of News completes the program. “Little Johnny Jones” Booked at the Apollo Packed with Tankee-Doodle pep, “Little Johnny Jones,” George M. Cohan’s greatest stage hit, produced on the screen with Johnny Hines in the title role will be next week's attraction at the Apollo. It was in “Little Johnny Jones” that Cohan endeared himself to playgoers throughout the country. Quite naturally he took a keen interest in the film version with the result that it contains the Inimitable Cohan touch, and is very much Cohnnesque in action. “Little Johnny .Tones” is a romance of the paddock. Its hero is an American jockey who goes to England to ride a mount owned by the Earl of Bloomsburg in the annual English Derby. He falls in love with Edith Smythe, a pretty heiress. Fearing Johnny’s prowess as a jockey, Robert Anstead a notorious turf gambler plans to “frame” Johnny and make it appear as if he intends to throw the race by holding his own horse in check. Edith learns of Anstead’s designs. but is kidnaped by the plotters before she can warn him. The cast contains Windham Standing, Margaret Seddon, Molly Malone, George Webb, Pauline French, Robert Prior and “Brownie” a dog actor that has heretofore been featured in comedies.

1 F interest to local theater goers /’'Xl is the announcement that Ruth W| Hammond, who appeared at the Murat Theater with the Stuart Walker company during the past summer season, has been engaged for one of the important roles in the Stun I Harris production of F. Scott Fitz- ! geraid's new comedy. “The Vegetable.” 'which has its premiere at Atlantic City on Nov. 19. I I- -IAlhert llackett, who also appeared |at the Murat with the W alker comI pany last summer, is playing in New I Vork in “The Nervous Wreck.” a | comedy that appears to lie the most pronounced success of the season thus far.

That “Spice of 1922” conies I r-n Nov. 26 for the week. Also that “Wildflower” has been booked for next month. •I- •!• -!- The question of censoring a, show before it is presented in Indianapolis is to me iust a silly attempt to do something without any foundation. “The P. ug Show of 1923” has never been subjected to any complaint, either in New York. Detroit, Chicago or elsewhere. It is my business to know what is happening in the large producing centers of the city. In the nearly four years that I have been associated with this department, J have stated straight from the shoulder objections to some shows. One show in particular, not more than a year ago, I objected to and not a word of official action was taken. Even the public didn't attend. The nex't day after leaving here it was closed up in Cincinnati. The only way to do business is to see a show

Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku-Klux Klan, in Indianapolis Friday to confer with local Klan officials, left this morning for Ft. Wayne where he was to be one of the principal speakers at a Klan meeting. Asked whether the Klan would support certain candidates in the coming primary election, Evans declared the Klan is not a political organization. “The Klan will support no individual, but a principal,” he declared. “The only effect the Klan will have is through Its influence in making the voters realize their responsibility.” There is nothing to rumors that Klan headquarters will be moved to Indianapolis, Evans said.

The company is constructing a super power plant at the Wabash River and will deliver current to Indianapolis by means' of the transmission line. The line will require 480 steel towers, it is said. Difficulty has been met in erecting towers on certain farms in Putnam, Hendricks and Morgan Counties. State Saving on Cement Seen Officials of the State highway commission today estimated the 10 cent reduction in barrel prices of Portland cement will save the State $400,000 in its 1924 road building program. The Indianapolis price, including charges, has been reduced from $2.71 a barrel to $2.61. The mill base price was $1.85.
