C. L [). SUPPORTS SUING CRAFTS Central Body Hears Report From Three Unions, ' Motion picture operators, musicians, stage hands and electrotypers, on strike in Indianapolis, today were receiving ‘‘moral support” from the Central Labor Union, following action of the central body Monday night. The theatrical men employed by the F. i. Rembusch Enterprises, including the Lincoln Square, Manhattan, Gem and Gayety Theaters, are waging a fight against the ‘‘open shop,” strikers told delegates. This charge has been denied by Rembusch. The electrotypers are striking to maintain a forty-four hour week, Louis F. Crandall, Chicago, special representative told the delegates. Employers want a forty-eight hour week, he said. The C. L. U. repudiated the FarmerLabor party when it refused to hear a communication from the party addressed to the delegates. A report condemning the police and firemen’s hand was accepted Auto Passenger Injured Miss Ann Johnston. 1433 N. Pennsylvania St., Apt. 207. was in the Methodist Hospital today, suffering from a cut on the head and slight bruises, received Monday when a car in which she was riding with Andrew Hepburn, 1439 Broadway, was struck by a machine driven by James Bohannon, 3569 Central Ave. The accident occurred at Sixteenth and Meridian Sts. Bohannon was charged with assault and battery. School Session Thursday The school board meeting scheduled for tonight has been postponed until Thursday night out of respect to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. It was announced by Frank L. Reissner, secretary, today. Prison Factory Is Idle The Mexican revolution has caused a shortage of sisal resulting in a shutdown in the binder twine factory at the State Prison, which imported the Mexican product.

r? ' Pimply Skin and • Impure Blood Due to a Torpid Liver Blood Carries Body's Poisons. Which Quickly Disfigure the Complexion. The liver is the body’s wonderful purifier. All of our blood passes through the liver every 15 minutes for purification. Everyone’s blood is constantly poi soned by body toxins formed In food waste. When the liver becomes weak, or torpid, it cannot fully perform its task of purification and our systems are at once tainted by blood toxins. These are poisons that, if not deatroyed by the liver, are carried direct to the skm and cause sallowness, blotches, redness, eruptions and pimples that disfigure the skin. Doctors know it Is absolutely true that a good complexion comes only from within the body. Blood Impurities cannot be rubbed away with creams or ointments. Science also knows that the liver—hhe body's complexion maker—cannot be regulated by drugs, but a safe Nature substance has been discovered which will act directly on the liver. The discovery is purified ox gall. Get from your druggist a package of Dioxol. Each tablet contains ten drops of purified ox gall. In 24 hours the poison toxins will be removed. Tour liver will he regulated Blood purification will begin. Sallow skin will clear. Pimples will pass away, leaving the complexion clear and soft. Skin Improvement will be so rapid that you will know you ha ve found the cause of an ugly complexion. Dioxol tablets are harmless, tasteless and cost less than two cents each. —Advertisement.

Eddie Leonard Has Fastest Stepping Act in Captivity; ‘lrene’ Is Still a Tuneful Girl —Good Revue at Lyric

By WALTER D. HICKMAN Ff AST moving syncopated feet. Feet with melody in ’em that i___J tap at the window of your Imagination. Those are the feet you will see in perfected syncopated time in Eddie Leonard’s most valuable contribution to the American variety stage. Leonard owns a pair of feet which have stepped into the inner chambers of every heart in this land. He has surrounded himself with a bunch of blackface banjo players and at least a half doz§n boys who own the fastest feet in captivity. At Keith’s yesterday afternoon Leonard ar.d his hot bunch c# melody makers and steppers held the stage. The years will not permit Eddie to he as young as the boys he has with him, but his spirit and feet are just as young. There is something about this new Leonard act which is so spontaneous and so lively that I was afraid for a brief second that the act was going to run away with this veteran. But I found out I had no cause for worry. Leonard is a great showman. He always gives his best and he gives it in great measure. Leonard has with im a lad by the name of Gus and a chap who dances “Oh, PJdin’t It Rain.” This “rain" dance just tier up this act in a regular knot. Time and time again this lad did the “rain” step. He is a young man with a dancing personality which radiates heat. Never have I seen his equal. Tho l .an jo pjlayers. banjos all over the stage in perfect harmony. They recall memories of the old days and jazz up that memory with the jazz of today. Above all this fast steppln’ and warm melody, Eddie Leonard towers head and shoulders above them all. Here Is an artist with a soul of love—the kind of love that makes the whole world happy. I have seen many acts In vaudeville the years that I have told you about the theaters, but It remained for Eddie Leonard to bring the real Yankee act to vaucrevlil.e It is American and it Is glorious. By the time you read this there will be a constant line of people before the box office. I know you want to see Leonard and his great bunch of men. The sooner you get your seats the better off you will be. This is not a box office plug, because I know that capacity is going to be the rule at Keith’s this week. And there is a real bill of class around Leonard. The Medint Trio do some wonderful things on ladders. Mae Francis knows how to sing a song. Bryan Lee and Mary Cranston revive pleasant memories in “The Honeymoon House.” Duel De Kerekjarto is a violinist of rare ability. He brings the charm and the intelligence of the concert stage to the variety theater. A really great artist. Brown

Are You a Slave to Your Stomach? He art bam, got, toerr itomoci retieetd quickly by Haley’a Magnesia- Oil If tout stomach is easily apart; if you suffer with indigestion, headaches, heartburn, dizzy spells, hiccoughs, you can depend on it —Acidosis (too much acid in the stomach) is to blame. Thousands have found quick, pleasant relief from all these ills by taking Haley's Magnesia-Oil, the new scientific combination of pure mineral oil and milk of magnesia. Get a bottle of Haley’s at your druggist’s today and keep it handy on the bathroom shelf.

At Keith's all week. ” -I- -I- -I“IRENE” HAS AGED A BIT, BUT YEARS HAVE BEEN KIND “Irene” has aged a wee bit, but the years have been rather kind to this musical comedy of the little shop girl who married a nice millionaire chap. At- this late date the thing of interest about “Irene” is regarding the condition the girl is in today. Just now “Irene” is returning from a tour which has taken her to the Pacific Coast.

There are only three others of the company who actually stand out —they are Flo Irwin, Mary O’Moore and Jane Gilmore. Howard Freeman has fallen into the bad of not talking loudly enough at times. Os course, one cannot expect the company to have the dash and the personality that Is possessed when the show was younger. As the show stands now, it gives Miss Winter a glorious chdnce to "walk away” with the show. Do not misunderstand me, "Irene,” as being presented at the Murat the first half of the week, is still good entertainment. Everybody is more or less familiar with the songs, but It seemed to me that the comedy work of Miss Winter and Flo Irwin were the things that last night’s audience liked best. Jere Delaney Is playing the Mme. Lucy role. “Irene” is on view today and Wednesday at the Murat. -I- -I- -IGOOD MUSIC OF MANY KINDS OFFERED AT LYRIC Were we consulted by the booking agent of a vaudeville circuit what, in our modest opinion, would help materially toward bringing the “S. R. O.” sign into more active use, we should say: “More melody—real melody, of course.” Although we were not consulted, the Lyric obliged this week—the bill overflows with good music of several varieties, to the audience’s evident satisfaction. Billy Sharp, the headllngr, has a

rattling good jazz band, an accomplished toe-dancer, Mile. Marionne, and is himself no mean hoofer. The mounting of the act Is bizarre and effective. The pipe organ operated by the opening and shutting of drawers in the letter-files of an attorney's office and by the tilting of legal tomes in tne library, presented by William A. Weston and company, created somewhat of a sensation when we attended the performance. The typewriter turned out to be a set of bells, as did another letter file and tho portiers. Rhoda and Broshell appear with strange hexagonal accordions which produce astonishingly good tunes. The instruments seem little more than toys, but they “make good.” Mary Reilly, she of the pleasant voice, sings, among other songs, “Lovey Came Back” and “The Kind of a Girl That Men Forget.” The I turn goes over well, but we feel Miss Reilly is making a mistake by putting in too much of the kind of song calculated to produce heart-throbs. Only our idea, though. A pretty spectacle is “Golden Visions.” in which gilded sprites and an equally golden surfaced gladiator present posses of famous sculptures. Ward, of Ward and Raymond, convulses with “I couldn’t see what I was saying because I had my tongde in my eye-tooth.” Nester and Vincent open the bill with a juggling and balancing act. The screen comedy is "A Monkey Mixup.” (By Observer.) -I- -|- -|- PUZZLE—WHEN IS AN INDIAN NOT AN INDIAN AT ALL? The Indian is rich by Inheritance. Sometimes the best advantage of this Inheritance is not taken. Chief Blue Cloud and some other Indians from a reservation are present at the Palace the first half of the week. If the question is asked me, “when is an Indian not. an Indian?” my answer would be: Whon he plays Jazz. The chief has attempted to offer something different by presenting nn Indian Jazz orchestra. The time is coming when somebody is going to be clever enough to bring the Indian of tradition as well as history to the vaudeville stage. I admit that the chief and his players are unique, but fT also must, confess that they are juzzlng up the atmosphere Just as we do. The chief is just giving us a pattern off of the musical bargain counter of the day. There is a well of material surrounding the Indian which has never been used on the stage. Johnny Singer and his dancing dolls open the show with an act which lives lip to Its title. During the course of' ihe routine of Bayle and Patsy one

Give the children a piece of WRIGLEY*S after exery meal They all like something sweet after eating. WRIGLEY’S has the sugar to satisfy this craving and the chewing of the gum will help digestion, clear their teeth of food particles and act as a pleasant, antiseptic cleanser of mouth and throat. You would M give almost anything” if the children would keep their teeth clean. Why not reward them with after every meal and have the very reward itself do the work!

hears again “That Old Gang of Mine.” Frank Whittier and company offer a sketch which reminds ore of the days when the bedroom farce was the leading form of entertainment on the stage. It concerns a mixup of rooms of two married couples at a hotel. The material used by Ben Marks and Ethel Pick is hopeless and the manner of delivery even worse. This team needs material and some hard study In the art of delivery. The movie feature is “Lights Out.” At the Palace tod/iy and Wednesday. -|- -|- -IA REAL OLD TIMER IS PRESENT AT THE CAPITOL Will H. Ward Is among those present In “Happy Days” at the Capitol this week. And Ward Is very much in evidence and this becomes more wonderful since I understand that this veteran is 73 years old. I can’t swear to It, that Ward is actually that old, but some of our oldest citizens tell me that they remember him way back in the old days. Ward, with the aid of Mildred Campbell, offer a specialty under the title of "The Equalizers,” which stops the show. Miss Campbell has her triumph while singing "Aggravating Papa" and "Mamma Goes Where Papa Goes.” The effect Is helped along with a. running line of talk on the part of Ward. Even at his advanced years, Ward works through the entire show as only a real trooper can. Most of the comedy of this sho\4 is the old slapstick stuff. The material does not compare to the best In burlesque. The chorus is active and the costumes are pretty and numerous. Several of the women are clever. In addition to Miss Campbell. They are Fay Tunis and Kitty Glasco. The Four Dancing Demons are clever dancers. At the Capitol all week. -I- -I- -I* "GEORGI A PE VCHES” IS ON VIEW AT BROADWAY Members of a police department are like electricity In that they are “an Invisible force,” according to I/w Rose, In "Georgia Peachea," at the Broadway this week.

Among featured songs of the show are “My Baby,” “Struttln’ Jim,” “Steal a Kiss,” "Mltzi” and "How She Can Dance.” Assisting Rose are Dottie Bennett.
