‘lrene’ Returns to Murat; ‘Covered Wagon’ Booked
Dale Winter, who plays the leading role in the musical comedy “Irene,” coming to the Murat Monday night for an engagement of three nights and Wednesday matinee, is a Columbus, Ohio,*girl and the daughter of a distinguished physician of the capital city. Miss Winter has been playing “Irene” for the past four years, and she declares that she is continually finding something new about her. Incidentally, that is one of the reasons why “Irene - ’ has won the success that has followed it everywhere. How many musical comedies of the day can boast of as genuinely human, individually appealing character as the little shop girl with her quaint philosophy and her whimsical ways? Even without the songs that everybody hums or whistles, “Irene” would be a good comedy. -I- -I- -I“UOVERED WAGON” RETURNS SUNDAY TO ENGLISH’S Owing to the unprecedented interest caused by the two weeks’ engagement of “The Covered Wagon" last October and the many requests by patrons who were unable to secure satisfactory reservations at that time, this picture is booked for a return, engagement at English’s beginning Sunday night, with two performances daily at 2:30 and 8:30 thereafter for one week only. During the prior two weeks’ engagement English's enthusiastic o-owds were thrilled. They were not disappointed in the high expectations roused through the reports from other cities. The masterly direction by James Cruze more artd more appears the largest single factor in the work's success. His was the vision of anew Napoleon of the screen; “the world is before you! Go and take it.” Almost every great crisis of the Western world’s founding is caught in th f s picture of the trains of “covered wagons” or prairie schooners that carried the pioneers. The love story of the **Mexican War Captain,” and the pretty emigrating school teacher from Illinois strikes a human note quite different from “movie love-stuff.’ I- ’l’ -IAttractions on view today include “Searamouche” at English's. “The Extra Girl” at the Ohio. “A Million to Burn” at the Isis. “Her Temporary Husband” at the Circle. “Judgment of the Storm” at the Apollo, “Bits of Hits" at the Broadway, “Talk of the Town” at the Capitol, new show at the Palace, headed by Raffles: “In Transylvania" at the Lyric, Restelli at Keith's, and “Black Oxen” at Mister Smith’s.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
UNCLE SAM TURNS GUT TO BE HARD BOILEDEMPLOYER Postal Clerk, 71, Suffers Injustice Which Seems Beyond Restitution, By ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Great numbers of people throughout the United States are writing their Congressmen and demanding that justice be done George E. Taylor, aged postal clerk of Richmond, Va. After sixteen years in the postoffice service without a blen ish against his record, Taylor wrongfully accused of embezzling S3O back in 1911 and discharged. He was also arrested. That the accusation against him was groundless is shown by the fact *hat he has twice been exonerated; rst by Federal Judge Waddill, bf~ fore whom he was tried, and later by President Harding, who issued an executive order recommending his reinstatement. Judge Waddill stopped Taylor's trial and directed the Jury to tiring in a verdict of not guilty. “It was,” said Judge Waddill recently, “the most outrageous case brought against an official I ever knew of, and there is not the slightest justification or excuse for the refusal to give this man vindication.” Reinstatement Ordered After ten years of effort, during which the old man was often hardpressed by poverty. President Harding finally ordered his reinstatement in 1921. So Taylor gave up his job as watchman at the county poorliouse and went back to work at the postoffice. But his joy was short-lived. Two weeks later the Postoffice Department informed the old man that he was nowpast the age limit and would have to get out. And—it sounds unbelievable —the I'cstoffice Department also demanded that he return the $73.30 salary that had been y>aid to him for those two weeks. “Old Mr. Taylor told them.” says Congressman Montague of "that he couldn’t return the money as he had already spent it for food. And. too, his wife had been sick.” Taylor tried to go back to his old job with the county, but he found it had been filled by another. So he tramped the streets of Richmond, hunting for work, but notiody wanted a 71 year-old man who had never done anything but work In the postoffioe. His aged wife, unable to endure hardship any longer, died just a few months ago and left him alone. No Precedent Congressman Montague, former Governor of Virginia, introduced last year a bill designed to rectify the wrong by an appropriation to pay old Mr. Taylor's salary for the ten years he was wrongfully deprived of his position. The Committee on Claims, of which Representative Edmonds of Pennsylvania is chairman, disapproved it. There was no precedent for such action, the committee said. Undaunted, Congressman -Montague has reintroduced his bill at the present session, hoping for better luck this time. If he can get enough sup port from other congressmen, he may put It over. “The committee.’’ r-ivs Congress man Montague, “Is probably correct in saying that no precedent exists for such action, for the very simple rea son that perhaps never before was such a rank injustice aver done."
YOUNG SISTER SOUGHT Adopted Girl Passed From Fife of Her Family. Mrs. Charles O’Donnell, 41 Parkview Ave., today Is seeking a younger -slater adopted fifteen years ago by George Temple, then living on N.

Appellate Court Action Charges of fraud in construction made In the Worthington sewer case on appeal' from the Greene Circuit Court, have been overthrown in a decision of the Appellate Court reversing Judgment of the lower court.
