BUILDING CODE OF ALL DEPARTMENTS IN STATE STUDIED Council Would Bring Entire Scope of Construction Under One Law. Tentative outline of a State wide building and housing code was under consideration of the State building council today. The outline was made by F. S. Cannon, chairman of the council advisory committee apixiinted by Governor McCray, composed of architects, contractors and engineers. According to State* Fire Marshal Newman T. Miller the code embraces building' rules of the State board of health, the industrial board and the fire marshal will contain codes for elevating levies, plumbing, jdectricity, power, heat and ventilation. All classifications of buildings, except farm structures will be regulated, Miller said. The council has been gra/ited legal power by the 123 General Assembly to adopt and to enforce code regulations. Concerning M'arcel Dupre One of the real treats of the musical season here was given last night by Marcel Dupre, organist at the Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, in recital at the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. He was presented byi* the Indiana Chapter. American Guild of Organists. The proof that this city appteclated organ music was seen last night when people stood for two hours to hear this great master, so great was the crowd. A feature of his program was Improvisation In the form of a symphony. Organists in the city and c l her cities submitted themes by which Marcel was to Improvise a symphony. Dupre did not know what the themes of the four movements would be until they were presented to him at the beginning of the second half of his program. He turned out a really brilliant and at times stirring symphony. Dupre is a master. My experience in organ music Is limited, but I enjoyed every minute of this marvelous concert. (By W. D. H.)

Rounding Round Theaters With WALTER D. HICKMAN D WYNN has been forced to cancel his engagement of three ■■■ days at English’s In April in “The Perfect Fool” because of 111 health- Ad' Miller, manager of English’s, was advised by wire as the strain has been so heavy upon Wynn since last fall caused by his coast to coast tour, that It was decided to end the tour. He was expected tr open here on Thursday night, April 3. Nelson Trowbridge of the Murat stated today that Ethel Barrymore, who was to be at the Murat on April 3, has been cancelled. No reason is given. Instead of Wynn, English’s will present Clara Kimball Young (in person) in the play “Trimmed in Scarlet.” -I- -I- -II have the following information from the Little Theatre Society: Rehearsals have begun at the Workshop for a dramatization of the story, “Alice in Wonderland,” by Lewis’ Carroll, to be presented by the Little Theatre, April 3, at two performances at the Murat. Special costumes are being designed by Mrs. Walter D. Baker. Special scenery is being made by Raymond Gregg, assisted by Arleigh Waltz. Robert W. Brewer, chairman of production, is not yet ready tr. announce the cast or director. The date, April 3, w'as chosen during the spring vacation of the public schools In order that children may attend the matinee peiformance. A special jrice is offered to children. Again w*e have the sight of a mighty good show nearly starving to death at the Murat. The play in question Is “The LacTy in Ermine.” I found it one of the real treats of the season. It has more comedy than “Blossom Time.” The cast of the “Lady” Is a splendid one. I am not going to blame any one for the poor business. I believe there is a reason for It. Here It Is—the majority of the public prefers to see Jolson, “The Follies,” Jeritza and Duse. PURDUE SEND? GREETINGS Bn Time* Special LAFAYETTE, Ind.. March 15.
