The gentleman overseas who has revived the old “Spanish prisoner" swindle recently should revise his mailing list, said Orville P. Humes. 2130 Barrett Ave., today. The swindler writes as if he were a prisoner in a Spanish jail and that he will split equally with, his benefactor if the latter will send him enough money upon which to get out of prison so he can go to some secreted treasure. Humes said the “Spaniard” addressed the letter to him at 1102 N. Illinois St., where he operated a drug store several years ago.
SEEKS RICHMOND UTILITY Indianapolis Company Offers $1,500,- j 000 for Municipal Plant. By Time* Sprrial RICHMOND,\Jnd., April B.—-Harry ' Reid, president of the Interstate Public Service Company. Indianapolis, made formal offer Monday for purchase of the Richmond municipal electric light plant at a price of $1,500,000. The city council referred the offer to its public service commission and instructed Mayor Handley to appoint a citizens committee to cooperate in investigation of the offer. The Richmond plant is considered one of the best in the State. Large Circular Saws Built Circular saws, said by lumbermen to be the largest inserted tooth saws ever manufactured, were recently completed by E. C. Atkins & Cos. of Indianapolis for an Oregon lumber company. The saws are eight feet in diameter. They will run at a speed of 425 revolutions per minute.
blood-filters. Well kidneys do their work thoroughly. But weak, sluggish kidneys allow poisons to accumulate in the system and upset the whole bodily machinery. Then is apt to come backache, rheumatic twinges, headaches, dizziness and annoying kidney irregularities. One feels constantly tired, lame and achy; nervous, irritable and depressed. Don’t wait! Help your weakened kidneys with a stimulant diuretic. Use Doan's Pills. Doan's have helped thousands. Are recommended by many Indianapolis people. Ask your neighbor!

MRS. H. WINCEL, 111 N. Minkner St., Says: "My back ached and the pains that darted across my kidneys were hard on my streagth. I felt tired and wornout and was nervous, too. The pains In my head bothered me and my kidneys acted too often. I used Doan's Pills and they rid me of the trouble.”

Earl Carroll’s ‘Vanities’ Go to Head of Class; ‘D. D. H. ’ Tells Why George Chopped Down Tree
By WALTER D. HICKMAN EEACHER, teacher, name your best pupil. Then teacher would advance Earl Carroll to the head of the class in “pleasant amusement” and anatomy and hand him the gold watch on commencement day. § Carroll, in creating his first “Vanities,” first saw to it that tons of comedy, real and hokum, was present. The crying need of revues the past three years has been comedy. In i Ziegfeld failed utterly providMA ing enough com- ' wMk edy. “The Music 'rajA ijK 1 ;, ' v Revue” ws Ml'lf jj&y t rich in human comedy, and was JOE COOK the winner in this line until Carroll landed at English's with his “Vanities.” This man Carroll is clever. He engaged Peggy Hopkins Joyce of *he big front page type for box offb' purposes. No better selection could have been made for that purpose. For comedy, he grabs Joe Cook and his “four Hawaiian chatter,” with the clown of clowns, Charles Alexander, known professionally as “The Senator.” Frank Leslie, the undertaker of song: Don Barclay. Brooks Hall, Charles Callahan and others with funny ways, were enlisted and the result is tons of comedy. It might bo called burlesque, but it is the “bur" placed in a million dollar setting. No revue is complete without its exhibition of lovely women. Carroll has supplied them in large numbers, with clothes and without ’em, in certain places. Where Carroll excells as i a producer is in the surprising way , j in which Yie handles curtains, lights I and art. There is no vulgar parading, | but when a human form is exhibited, natural in parts, the setting is a masterpiece instead of a cartoon. Among the many beautiful scenes are: *. “The Birth of a New Revue,” “The Soul of the Harp,” “Cretonne Girl,” "The Slave Mart: the finale of the first and last acts: "Chasing Little Rainbow's,” “The Silver Fountain" and "Adagio,” as danced by Renoff and Renova. Joe Cook is to my mind the best comedian on the stage today. He sells human comedy and when he has to be a real juggler, he can juggle. His "one-man vaudeville act” is a classic. Joe has a funny burlesque
on the naughty drama in which he has the services of Miss Joyce. This “bunk drama" is to my way of thinking one of the chief delights of the whole show. After the customers get Into the theater, Joe pleases them and gives them their money’s worth. Miss Joyce makes her first appearance in the “Pretty Peggy” number. She has no real voice and doesn't claim to be a prima donna. She is a boxofflee draw. And she is the prettiest woman 1 have ever seen in my life. In her first number she has the services of ten or twelve clever chaps who know how to dance and pep up this number. All of her gowns as well |as her jewels are marvelous. Carroll has called upon her to do only what she can do. And she does just that and nothing more It is worth the price of a seat just to see Peggy. Following the “Peggy” number, Don Barclay. Harry Burns, Charles Senna and others stage a really funny burlesque on Miss Joyce. It is a fun riot. Carroll has given us a revue with real comedy. 1 didn’t care for the jazz band stunt although the audience I howled with joy. “Vanities” is worth the money. It ! is the most human of all revues and
J. S. LEAMMAN, Prop, of Grocery, 101 N. Harding St, Says: “Sharp pains darted across my back and when I stooped, I got a kink in mj back. My back was lame and sore, too, and my kidneys acted too frequently. I used Doan's Pills and my back is all iflght now and my kidneys haven't troubled me since.”

it is my choice of the whole flock of revues I have seen this season. "Vanities” is on view’ all week at English's. AN HISTORICAL MYSTERY IS CLEARED I P AT KEITH S Why did George Washington cut down the cherry tree -7 D. D. 11. tells you why at Keith's this week when he introduces his hip- | sized encyclopedia. Why did Georgie do that little j trick? Well, the man with the three | initials as a name declares that George saw into the future and knew that in 1924 we wouldn't Wave any; use for the cherry. D. H. brings anew brand of comedy to the variety stage. He has an individual way about him. He has new jokes and that is a real something these days when jokes with beards on are taken to the barber, shaved and turned loose on the public. This man is a positive delight. Some day a big revue producer will see this man and D. IX H. will do a "Joe Cook” and then the New York critics will de clare that they discovered him. The name draw on the bill is Miss Patricola. These who like their jazz songs of the day done in a noisy way with gestures will discover that this woman fills the bill. There was no doubt that ■ she was a favorite St Keith’s yesterday. She knows the variety stage and is a wonder when it comes to forcing the audience to ap-
plaud for more. Hermine Shone and company offer a comedy called. “Window Shopping.” Here is an artificial sketch which actually lands. It wins because of the work of Miss Shone. It is interesting theater and it has some real laughs. It requires fou'* scenes to present it. Laura Ormsboe sings and plays the violin while Jack Neal pianos. Miss Patricola also plays the violin. So we have two of a k:nd on one bill. “Juggleland” serves to introduce some comedy juggling. Toni Bryan and Lillian Broderick

letic countenance as he plunks out entrancing melodies on his mandolin, one would suppose he had a rattling good joke he was aching to tell if he could only find time in his act to tell it. YVe will remember this jovially silent little clown a long time. Kate and Wiley present an unusual posing act: Lucille and Cockie are parrots that talk, and Mary Blank, who opens • the bill, does some clever juggling. The film bill includes “The Jazz Weekly,” described as the “Unreal News Reel,” one of the new “Leather Pusher’ series, and a Bruce Barton editorial. At the Lyric all week. (By Obverser.) -I- I- I“TANGO SHOES” STILL CONTAINS MAGIC STEPS Billie Burke’s “Tango Shoes” will never wear out. This act has been before the public for years and yesterday afternoon at the Palace it received as many laughs as It did when it was still a variety infant. The “shoes” in question are supposed to have a mechanical device which will make a person do a tango or any other kind of a step the second the shoes get on the feet. This fun is worked out in a clever and. natural way. When the act starts there Is one person on the stage and when it ends there are six. It has coined laughs for many years and is still going strong. Clarence Coley and Hattie Jackson, with the aid of a dog (a common looking hound), have no trouble in gaining attention and applause. Miss Jacksou has a natural flapper way about her. When the dog. after aiding in some nice fun. makes his exit. Coley and Miss Jackson sing. Easy winners. "The Enchanters” turn out to be a female orchestra. The act also has the services of two girls who dance. Act is well staged and the melody is what one expects today on the stage. The man in the team of Eadie and Ramsden has bis own way to play a piano. He might be called an aero batie pianist. The woman sings now and then and aids In the comedy sit nations. Warren and O’Brien found trouble in landing with their comedy, but the minute they started dancing, it was evident why they were on the \arlety stage. They do clever team dancing. The movie feature is Mary Carr in "Broadway Broke.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. \
MAN WITH A FUNNY GLIDE AT CAPITOL ■ Funny feet are present at the Capitol. Danny Murphy Is the owner of the funny feet. Many times during "Temptations of l'>23" this man stages n mighty funny glide. It seems to he the by-product j of a hop and a Jump. Murphy has several funny scenes. I The china, breaking stunt is an old | one, hut it registers better than anyI thing else in the show. Murphy has ' n chance to glide all over the stage | in this scene. Murphy and Charles Fagan (has funny eyes) do their best teamwork in | "The Baby" scene. This is a typical overdrawn burlesque, but it is human I and lands easily. Murphy and Fagan make a good combination. This “Temptations" show is strong lon comedy. Much more so than the average burlesque show. Miss Lillian I Fir has a number of jazz songs. Miss i Georgia Emmett gets a rather had | start in her specialty, hut she snaps j out of it and puts over her material I with ease. This show Is rather spotty, as It re- | lies upon the two comedians to carry the show. When they are present, it lis easy to say that all is well. Chorus I is about the average. | At the Capitol all week. -I- I- -I“FROLICS OK 1924” ON VIEW AT BROADWAY “Frolics of 1924" at the Broadway j this week is a better show than the j average on the Mutual circuit. The | settings and costumes are very good and the principals are on a whole adequate for this type of show. Harry | Myers and Hap Freyer are the I comedians. With some newer and a | trifle cleaner material I believe these j hoys could be really funny. As it is j they seem to he struggling along in | the accepted burlesque rut. Out of j the ordinary numbers in this show | are an eccentric dance by Doris Stone and Helen Davis, and r wax j doll number by six of the chorus. Richey Craig Jr. does a single Is-peoialty, wherein, what might have been a good dancing act is about ruined by a had monologue. Cleo j Miles is doing a specialty dance again this week. (By Observer). •i- -V -iOLD FASHIONED MELODRAMA' ON VIEW AT LINCOLN SQUARE If you are one who likes to recall the “good old days” when melodrama was the thing, a visit to the Lincoln Square this week will bring back fond memories. “St. Elmo,” one of the j regular old favorites. Is the bill for I the week. Tom Coyle gives a very j acceptable performance In the title role and the rest bf the cast supports him in a regular melodramatic style. I The play was directed by Charles Mercer. At the Lincoln Square all week. (By Observer.) -I- -I- + Other attractions on view today Include: “The Whipping Boss,” at the ! Apollo; “Painted People,” at Mister I Smith’s; "'Why Men Leave Home,” at I the Circle; “The Great White Way,” i at the Ohio, and “The Wolf Man,” at | the Isis. Stolen Car Recovered Sheriff Clark of Hendricks County this afternoon arrested men giving their names as, Alvie Dewitt, Raymond Gordon and Leo Overshimer at Stilesville Tnd. Detectives said the automobile of Sheriff Ervin Ray of Green County, stolen from near the Statehouse this morning, was recovcfti. r
STATE UNABLE TO PURCHASE PARKS Estates on Northern Lakes Proposed, In the support of Indiana citizens lies present hope of creating new State parks, according to Richard Lieber, director of the State conservation department. Word has been received that the Failllng estate of 600 acres on Lake James, Steuben County, is being proa State park. “Because of general financial conditions and the State’s desire for economy, there is little possibility now for the creation of new parks out of the State’s money,” is Lieber’s opinion. The beautiful 120-acre estate of Gede Stratton Porter, novelist, on Sylvan Lake, near Rome City, has been offered for sale to the State, Lieber said. Mrs. Porter has moved her residence to Los Angeles. Cal. Ft. Wayne citizens may back a niov. ment for purchase of the estate as a State park. . Radio Programs Chicago—KYYV (Central, 536) 11:35 A.

INGROWN TOE NAIL TURNS OUT ITSELF
A noted authority says that a few drops of ‘lOutgro” upon the skin surrounding the ingrowing nail reduces inflammation and pain and so toughens the tender, sensitive skin underneath the toe nail, that It can not penetrate the flesh, and the nail turns naturally outward almost over night. “Outgro” is a harmless antiseptic manufactured for chiropodists.
