‘RIGHT TO WORSHIP’ DECLARED IN NOTE ’ TO UNITY LEAGUE County Political Chairmen Answer Queries on Klan. Answers to questions asked by the Marion County branch of the American Unity League have been made by Clyde A. VYalb. Republican State chairman, and Walter S. Chambers, Democratic State chairman: Walb said: “Replying to your letter of Nov. 9, in which you ask. ‘Are you for the American republic and the Constitution of the United States?’ I beg to advise you that I am." Walb did not answer other questions asked him. Clianibers’ Answer. Chambers wrote: "I have delayed replying to your letter because there has been no meeting of the Democratic State committee, and I desire to consult with some of the members. "Your first query is ‘whethed your body as a representative of the Democratic party of Indiana is for or against the Invisible Empire of the Ku-Klux Klan?’ "That question has not been discussed in any raeeUng of the Democratic State committee. All committee meetings for more than a year have been open to newspaper reporters and to any Democrats who desired to attend. If any discussion had been had or any action taken it would have at once become public. "You are mistaken when you say the Peommittee represents the party on this or any other question of principle. The State committee does not make a declaration' of principle. Thai function belongs solely to the State convention I would call your attention further to the fact that the present State committee goes out of existence next May. before the State convention, and anew body will be elected to conduct the 19"4 campaign. For Constitution In another paragraph you ask: ‘Are you for the American republic and the Constitution or- for the Invisible Empire and the secret obligation of that order:’ “While the first part of the question is offensive to any citizen of the United States. I shall answer it courteously by saying that I think Senator Ralston expressed the sentiment of the Democratic party in a recent speech when he said, as reported in the public press: “ ‘The Democratic party has always stood for the Constitution of the United States and in standing for it. it stands for the nght of every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience.’ ” , 4-WHEEL AUTO BRAKES Engineers’ Society Will Discuss Their “Pros” and “Cons.” Automobile engineers will discuss the four-wheel brake question before the Indiana section of the Society of Automotive Engineers at the Severin tonight. • Talks will be made by J.

Little Theatre Pays Tribute to Booth Tarkington in Best Work of Season

By WALTER D. HICKMAN rzn UCCESS is a glorious word and I I It explains what the Little Theatre Society accomplished last night at the Munit when "The Wren,” a comedy of the New England coast during the summer time, was presented at the Murat in tribute to the author, Booth Tarkington. It must have been a source of real Hoosier pride to Tarkington to hear the many laughs and applause given hi§ comedy and the Little Theatre players. It was just the home folk honoring a son of their own. The largest audience ever assembled, as far as I know, to see a Little Theatre play here was present last night to honor Tarkington. The author was the audience to see his own play. I firmly believe that the Little Theatre has brought new honor, credit and faith in its work by presenting “The Wren.” The cast was excellent, the setting was what one would expect in the legitimate theater, and above all the players seemed to have been directed by a man who knew .his business. The curtain went up promptly at 8:30 o'clock and the audience was leaving the theater at 10:30 o’clock. The trouble with some local performances is that one feels the need of taking either his breakfast or midnight lunch with him. Not so in this case. Dr. John R. Newcomb directed the play and I believe that much of the success of “The Wren” falls to him. I can say out loud that I never have seen the Little Theatre players better directed. It looked like a real show, and that is Just what It was. Newcomb also played the role of the old sea captain. John I. Kautz was stage director; Thomas E. Hibben. scenic director: Helen Eaglesfield. property master; Lillian F._ Hamilton and Arleigh Waltz, properties (assistants;) Eunice Peirce, scenic artist; C. Felton, program advertising; Gertrude M. Shields and R. C. Winslow, puhliety, and Mrs. George C. Finfrock, box committee. I am not going into the individual merits of the players. They all deserve it. Enough to say “The Wren” was given the best possible acting by the cast. The cast was as follows: Captain Old* Johta R. Newcomb Mrs Freehart Marjorie B Sherwood Frazee Larry Fletcher Francis Frank S. Chance Mrs Frazee Helen Catherine Ward Roddy Robert M. Brewer Seeby Marjorie Chiles The Little Theater has every reason to be proud of the success of last night. The play is one of those delightful little Tark ngton affairs done In a gay comedy manner with some
