AUTO SHOW WILL REVEAL BUSINESS TRENDIN STATE Display Space Reduced in Proportion as Exhibitors Increase, Throughout the business world the annual automobile show of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association, at the State fairground March 3-8, will be carefully watched as providing a dependable barometer of trade conditions in the Middle West. Observers from lines of business in no way connected with the automotive industry and not particularly interested in motor cars have come to watch the show with the greatest degree of care. Experience of the past twelve years has proved to them that when business is good at the show, business throughout this section of the country will be good in all lines of industry. Conversely, a poor show, from the standpoint of business done, means a lean business year. Show officials say advance indications are that the show this jear will be a record breaker, not only from the standpoint of completeness of displays, but also as to actual business done. Space in the Auto Show building, which measures 60.000 square feet long was over subscribed, necessitating reducing many space allotments to accommodate all exhibitors. In addition more general Interest has been shown by the general public than ever before this far in advance of the show. If these things mean anything, they mean a good business year in Indiana, is the opinion expressed by Andy Hutchison, secretary of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association.

O’Neill’s Message Rings True in Film; Wister’s Story Is Real Man’s Movie
By WALTER D. HICKMAN ftTTI AME of "Anna Christie” has In | been linked with that of Pau1* * 1 line Lord. To lay Blanche Sweet is also associated with that of "Anna Christie." The spirit and intelligence of Eugene O’Neill was regEaWMBjMMMHBj fleeted in his > , r -.v - I stage play bearing the name of MRa ’ Anna Christie.” TANARUS Miss Lord became IS,' v -&■ •■■■■■■ one of ' the few l ** I commanding flg■jH k ■ ures of the stage M *| I by her work in HIL *!£!**' A this dranVa of souls. “Anna” will make Blanche -S.'jsK&gfte-y Jl Sw>- ■ ; is: ass i muus a-- she made Pauline a” L I’rubalfiy nobody world has the WILLIAM real voice of RUSSELL Anna but Miss Lord, and yet, Miss Sweet has caught the spirit of Anna and has made Anna “talk" op the silver screen. In doing this she has the marvelous services of George Marion, who was the original Chris on the stage; of William Russell as Matt Burke, the Irish lover, and of Eugenie Besserer as Martha, just a member of life’s scrap pile. The movie cast matches up to the dramatic and spiritual intensity of the play as written by O’Neill. The cast of principals is a small one, and every one in the movie proves that he or 3he is a great artist. I saw Miss Lord in the stage version and Miss Sweef has nothing to- fear by comparisons. The work of Blanche Sweet as Anna will go dow-n in film records as one of the few- really great dramatic and emotional creations that the screen has ever produced. O’Neill has a message for people who are not afraid to think and for those who are not afraid to rub elbows with real life. Anna Christie has sinned in flesh. She has paid the price by becoming a painted woman of the street. She hates men and brands ’em as being all alike. The author shows that men want their wives to be lily white In soul although man has sinned with other women. O’Neill proves that an honest love can cleanse the woman of her sin when it is gowned in faith. O'Neill is not sentimental. The Ann of the street is always knocking at the door of the real Anna Christie. That is the message of O’Neill. It may not be pleasant, but there Is more than a grain of truth tucked away in this great play. It was great on the stage and as convincing on the screen. It is a story wjth backbone because the souls and destinies of men and women of the world are all mixed up. Be not afraid of O'Neill and his “Anna Christie.” This story has brains behind it, power and truth. It
His Name Draws Big Crowds to the Lyric 1 ALEXANDER The drawing power of the name of Alexander, billed as “The Man Who kncws” was proven yesterday when he opened a week’s engagement at the Lyric. It was impossible at times to get a seat there yesterday. is lofty in theme although its human characters often fall into the gutter. And that is life. Miss Sweet rises to the highest peak of acting during the famous scene in the water front saloon in New York. Martha is there in the “ladies’ j>art of the saloon. She Is “Anna twenty years from now.’’ Martha is a hard animal. She has landed in the ditch and will never rise. Anna has fallen, but the spark of real love is tucked away in her heart although her face is covered with paint and her lips are deep red in color. Then in the barge scene where she tells Matt and her father just howrotten she has been, Miss Sweet mounts again. Here is dramatic acting that equals anything you have or ever will see on the stage or the screen. It isn’t my duty to howl about supporting the real honest things of the theater. I am old-fashioned enough right now to feel that the real article with brains and backbone to it will challenge respect and patronage. If you have any faith in my opinions then go to the Circle this week and see Blanche Sweet in “Anna Christie.” This picture proves that a great stage play can be brought to the screen just as it was acted on the legitimate stage. Nothing has been lost in transferring “Anna Christie” to the screen. And while this drama is being unfolded on the screen, Bakaleinikoff directs the Circle orchestra through a score w r hich reflects the spirit of the play. Wonderful cooperation. At the Circle all week. -I- -|. -|. “THE VIRGINIAN” IS A MOVIE FOR REAL MEN AND WOMEN Owen Wlster wrote “The Virginian” some years ago. It appealed to men who liked backbone in their fiction and to women who enjoy something besides a shelji story. The movie version of this novel has that same appeal. The story Is strong
movie director wisely decided not to re-write the stcry. Most of us will recall the story because of two incidents —the baby changing episode and the man hunt part of .the storyIt is no easy job to bring the real West of any period to the field of liteurature or the stage. The public has been fed up on a rather unreal West. The regulation Idea of the West is all bunk. Wlster knew it and he attempts in “The Virginian” to people his story with real men and women. The public recognized that Wister had successfully brought the real West into the realm of literature. People to do not forget and that probably is the reason that capacity houses greeted “The Virginian” yesterday at the Apollo. Wister spins a romantitc story before the real background of the West. The movie director has placed actors who are types in the chief roles. The cast includes Kenneth Harlan as “The Virginian;’’ Florence Vidor as the school teacher; Russell Simpson, Pat Simpson, Pat O’Malley, Raymond Hatton and Fred Gambol. The characters as conceived by the ruthor seem to step from the printed page on command of the actors. It

There is a corking good fight staged by Charles A. Post and Frank Mayo. It is the real article In fights and rather repays one for waiting for the end of the picture. And yet we shouldp’t be too hard on pictures of this sort because they can not ring true as the author only wanted to smother you with thrills.
