COUNCIL TO NEAR PLEA OF RAILWAY Jameson Indicates 7-Cent Fare Is Last Resort, The Indianapolis Street Railway will carry its fight for financial relief before city councilmen tonight at 7:30. Although Charles E. Coffin, presi dent of the board of works, promised assistance in any reasonable plan to aid the company, councilmen said they would hear the company’s case before taking any stand. A 7-cent fare with continuation of the 2-cent transfer likely will be asked from the public service commission if other revenue can not be had Dr. Henry Jameson, chairman of directors of the company told the board of works late Monday. He said receivership was certain if conditions were not relieved. “We have been operating on a 5-cent fare since 1914—a thing which no other city in the country has done, and we have reached a point where repairs and additions are needed,” said Dr. Jamescn. The car company is receiving from •> to 4 per cent less daily revenue than in 1923, Eh-. Jameson said. Bus and automobile competition was given as ;he reason.

Take Shock Absorbers to English’s; Julia Is a Hit —Big Thriller at Murat

By WALTER D. HICKMAN I T TRAP on your shock absorbers. -1 1 er than smelling salts you will need that, too, when you visit English's to see ‘“The Last Warning.” T left my shock\ absorbers at home last nig&t and the result was that the old boat nearly rocked me all over the theater. Am not accustomed to have police walk down the aisle and look me and all the others over. Haven't had the delightfully secure experience of beitig informed by an actor that all doors are guarded and that the "guilty person,” if he be in the audience, need not try to escape. Neither'am I familiar with the trick of having an actor come down from the stage and take a seat near me during the show. Then all the lights go out. Suddenly weird forms and lights appear on the stage. The actor near me got so excited that he pointed a revolver over my head (am sure that is what happened, but I am not sure because I didn’t have a spare tire with me or my shock absorbers) and fired the bloomin’ thing. When that happens to you at English's you will thank me for telling you to go prepared. Weak heart never sat through this show and lived. This is just my way of telling you a few of the things that happen at English’s during the course of “The Last Warning." Here is good old melodramatic hoakum all done up in modern style. There is a murder or two which helps the action and the thrills to increase the suspense. It is not fair to the actors, the playwright or the audience to tell any more of the story. I found it mighty good theater. It is so different, a sort of a chummy drammer with the audience and the actors all getting mixed up. Heading-the cast is our very good friend. Byron Beasley. is a man who knows how and when to act. His job is to shock you nearly to death and he does a grand and glorious job of it with the aid of the playwright. Jessie Buslev does a great piece of comedy acting, as the would-be burlesque queen who Insists that she can't play a chamber-maid part because sha has never had bedroom experience. Here la jolly fun and It Is this woman who creates all the fun. Ruth Saville does her part to increase the mystery. Rest of the east do their work well. “The Last Warning" is Jolly fun. At English's today, Wednesday and Thursday. ,

WE EXPECTED TO BE SHOCKED AND WERE AT “CAT AND CANARY” A corpse fell. We expected something ghost-like to happen and a whole "corpse” fell right out on the stage. You guessed the time—lt was about 12:15 p. m. and the place was In the next room. And we are here telling you that the other room was not such a quiet place either. Can you sense such a situation. A man is talking to a woman about an estate. Suddenly part of the book case opens and two hands appear. These white hands grab the man by the shoulders and drags him out of view. When the man evaporates, the girl rushes out of the room because a ghost gets on her trail. And that is the quiet little place called the library in the first act of “The Can and the Canary.” Do not have to tell you that this is a thriller. It was made to shock and stun an audience, and It has been doing that little trick for nearly two years. And suppose: You were in a room

Is Backache Keeping You Miserable? Are You Dragging Around Day After Day, Lame, Stiff and Achy—Tired, Weak and All Worn Out? Then Follow the Advice of These Indianapolis Folks!

ARE YOU worried all day long with that nagging backache ? Do stabbing twinges torture you at every sudden move? Are you lame, stiff and achy; tired, worn out and miserable? Then you should give some attention to your kidneys! Kidney, weakness makes thousands of young people old, and thousands of old folks unhappy. And the pity is, the cause is so often un- . suspected; the weakening of the kidneys 'so often overlooked. The kidneys are the blood-filters. They filter every drop of blood in the i body every seven minutes. Healthy kidneys do

R. B. HAYSLETT, 725 Dorman St., says: "My back ached so 1 was in misery. When f bent over, such sharp pains caught me I could hardly straighten. I felt dull and didn't have any energy. My kidneys ivere disordered. Doan’s Pills, from Haag’s Drug Store, rid me of the trouble and I haven’t been bothered since."

with necklace around your neck. The doors are all locked. Suddenly a mysterious hand darts out from nowhere and removes the necklace. We are sure that you would have more than nervous prostration. We had such an attack while sitting in the theater watching the show. “The Cat and the Canary” is clever theater. It was written for the purpose of going “The Bat” one better. Every known tiling is used to shock and mystify vyj in the show. It is a cofkng good thriller. It certainly brought out the cold sweat upon those present last night at he Murat. The acti rs fit into the mystery and they go through their bag of tricks in fine style. Os course your interest centers upon the play, but the actors are so good that you forget the mechanics of the show. The cast is as follows: Koffer Crosby John Stokrß "Mammy' Pleasant Sue Van Duzer Harry Blythe John C Klnif Susan Slllsby Anne Sutherland Cicely Younr Gwyneth Gordon Charles Wilder . .Earl House Paul Jones Louis Kimball Aunabelle West Emily Taft Hendricks Clifford Dempsey Patterson William Macauley If you think you haven’t a thrill left in you, then visit*the Murat this week and get a real thrill. (By Observer.) -I- -I- -IGOOD COMEDY HIM. ON VIEW AT LYRIC THIS WEEK For silent, risible-rousing antics the palm should go to one Joe Jackson that unassuming individual who finds himself upon the stage quite by accident and sneaks off as if it were a mistake. Jackson does not need speech to aid him. Motives which prompt this ‘ park tramp” are so human and the action so carefully portrayed that even the children in the audience “caught on.” The bicycle episode is extremely laughable. The tango, said to be due for a return to vogue in the ballroom, is presented in a pretty act called ”The Lard of Tango." Some good comedy in the turn, and a Spanish version t>f the “rough and-ready" Apache dance is included. The sun may shine all over the

the job thoroughly. But weakened kidneys allow some part of the body-poisons to remain. Blood and nerves are upset by these toxins and the whole system put out of tune. The bjprek aches, fine suffers sharp, stabbing pains and feels dull and “draggy,” nervous, irritable and depressed. The head aches, there are dizzy spelis and there are apt to' be annoying kidney irregularities. Heed these early warnings! Help your weakened kidneys before serious kidney sickness develops. Use Doan’s Pills a, stimulant diuretic. Doan’s are recommended by thousands. Ask your neighbor!

MRS. S. R. RANDOLPH, 207 N. Fulton St„ says: “My kidneys were weak and my back felt lame and stiff. My work tired me and 1 often had headaches and felt weak and dizzy. 1 got Doan’s fills at tlie Hook Drug Cos. and they removed the trouble.” Mrs. Randolph gave the above statement Sept 20, 1922, and on Nov. 2, 1928, she added: “Doan's Pills rever fulled to relieve me of kidney complaint when 1 have used them.”

An unusual skit on married is well handled by Robison and Pierce in “No More Saloons.” From them %ve learn that “the best way to get along with your wife is to stay single.” Ei Cota might well be called “the one-man Marimba Band.” His capers over the xylophone are amusing. The way he covers the keyboard of his “wooden piano" is startling. A “human calliope.” steam and all. is the piece de resistance of the “Brooklyn Comedy Four.” Besides the Barnum auxiliary. he quartet throws in considerable hokum. We wonder why they sang the now wellworn song, “Tomorrow.'’ Excellent once, it has not slumbered long enough to be resurrected.

"Sweet Lady." [ 'y v - Frank Cr limit I<• v* i ' 1 wrote it and aided \ . ' : -s hi putting it over. V * He is present at JULIA Keith’s this week SANDERSON with Miss Sanderson. Crumit plays a guitar or a "euke" or whatever you want to call it. Miss Sanderson calls him her .“plunk plunk." When they do this number together, nothing else matters until they tackle "Jazzy Little Tune" and the result is a big, sincere ovation. Miss Sanderson, with the help of Herman Rupfeld, composer and pianist, has individual songs. Rup feld Is at the piano and helps in putting over the act. Julia Sanderson Is a Messing to the vaudeville stage. She is a big artist of song. Her .personality gets over the footlights and she makes the two-a-day audience love her Just as much as her | legitimate audience does, because she ! Is giving her best every minute she is ! on the stage. Yes. that is the secret of her sue- ! cess—always her very best. If you have any faith in my Judgment of 1 what’s what in the theater, then don’t ; miss Julia Sanderson at Keith’s this week. Haven’t the space to dwell upon Crumit. He also does an act by himself and he stops proceedings. No body puts over a song like this man does. Hear him. Towa and d’Hortys, with the aid of a dog, offer a Juggling act. Fred Bernard and Sid Garry open with a poor start, but make up for it by their Impressions of A1 Jolson and others. Ted and Kathryn Andrews have a

neat dance and song offering which they call “Clippings.” Steve Kretzmer "is at the piano. A real act. Harry Holman is back with his company in the time-honored playlet called “Hard Boiled Hampton.” Most of us know every line in the act, but it is still the comedy classic (as Phil Brown would say) of the vaudeville stage. Ask me not about Alexandria. It is a nut surprise act. At Keith’s all week. -I- I -IMUSIC, DANC E AND COMEDY FOUND ON NEW PALACE BILL Some pleasing music presented in costume by a number of musicians is found in “Carnival of Venice,” one of the acts on the new bill at the Palace. Most of the interest should be centered upon the music, but gets sidetracked by a female impersonator. The act is nicely mounted The music rather gets into one. Rather a pleasing act on the whole. Johnson and Hayes tro in for *'<•- centric fun in “Hokum A La Carte.” These two men are dressed like tramps, two dandies of the road. It is the kind of comedy one expects on the burlesque stage. Eddie Stanley, with the aid of Patricia Kennedy, Leo Leah and Babe Burns offer a song and dance turn. Two men do some nimble stepping. Stanley presides at the piano and introduces the members of his company. The Tlnee Lees open the b.ll with a juggling act in wh.cir clubs and hats are well are well handled. One of the men with a club knocks a clay pipe from the mouth of another man without breaking the pipe or damaging the “map” of the holder of the pipe. Jean Middleton with the aid of short skirts gives one the impression that she might be a young girl. You never can tell these days. She plays the violin well. Pleasing.

ing daily appearances in person at the Capitol this week in “Chuckles.” The Kid's other name is Cliff Bragdon, wife; he says, is a gopher, in that “when the boys order beer, I go fer it.” Coo Coo Morrisey, Bragdon’s apologetic silent partner—he of the restive eyebrows and furtive ■manner —makes an excellent partner for Bragdon. He is as funny as Bragdon, but in an entirely different manner. Seldom has it been our pleasure to sink back comfortable into a seat and enjoy a burlesque as we enjoyed this one. If there is a weak spot in “Chuckles of 1923,” we failed to find it. No old jokes to rise up and smiu: one; no salacious humor. Miss Norma Barry’s singing of humorous songs is infectious; the chorus seems to enjoy itself hugely; the saxophone quartet is above reproach, and the “Four Pashas” are whirling dervishes deluxe. Above all, the §cenery and costumes are refreshing.Lßy Observer.)

BILLY HAGAN AND ANNA TOEBE IN “BROADWAY BELLESV “The Broadway Belles,” a Mutual burlesque show, is the current offering at the Broadway. Billy Hagan, a comic, and Anna Toebe are featured. Our remarks are confined to the second act only. The scenery is above the average of shows seen at this hoUSe. The chorus is lively and exhibited some clever stepping. The second act is an Egyptian affair. It is a King Tut idea, although the old king is not mentioned. That is some relief. Hagan discourses on mummies and the -like. There is a woman in the cast who presents a song of bad taste in which she declares that this is a free country and she can “shake” in a dance what she wants to. Show would be better off without this number.
