LABOR UNIONS TO OPPOSE CRAVENS , IN STATE RACE Candidate Declared Unfavorable to Legislation Affecting Workers. Because his legislative record is regarded by labor leaders as “highly unSenator Joseph Cravens, Madison, candidate for Democratic nomination for Governor, is on the labor “black list.” Through the State Federation of Labor he will be opposed by the 130,000 organized workers. At a meeting Monday night, Senator Cravens’ candidacy was opposed by Central T ,abor Union delegates, following a speech by Adolpfc J- Fritz, secretary of the Indiana State Federation of Labor. Cravens’ candidacy was opposed on ground sthat he “voted unfavorably on one amendment to the -workmen's compensation bill and refused to vote on another amendment that was of vital importance” and “that he opposed a school attendance law” and other bills favored by labor. Delegates were to send letetrs to congressmen asking support of a bill pending in Congress which would al low manufacture of beveridges containing 2.75 per cent alcohol. A request from the international organizeFtion of the brewery and soft drink workers had been made.

Flo and Lester Give Great Fun Parade; Variety Theaters Present Real Bills

By WALTER D. HICKMAN l" , ILO LEWIS uses the funniest I j-T I language. 1*• J She asks Lester Lee “Why do do what you do?” Poor, nervous, bashful Lester has a terrible time to "do do” anything while the active Flo is around. Flo and Lester (who starts out as a pianist and epds up as a foil for un ' honoi " s on individual weighs but how she bears down on the stage. The result ’.or is that she and '•*. * Lester stage a grand fun riot, JIOLLIE FULLER Miss Lewis calls her act, “Burnheart to Heartburn.” Her flapper characterization is not equaled on the stage as far as I know. To me it is the funniest bit, (even including the dolls) that I have bumped into at Keith's this season. The act has a million dollar look and it sure lands solid. , Mollie F.uller was famous years ago. Today she is blind but still acting. The insert picture is Miss Fuller taken many years ago. With the aid of Leila Romer and Bert Kelley she is appearing in a playlet called “Twilight.” I liked this “come-back” stai better than many others who have attempted to come back. This act really makes one glad that Miss Fuller is back on the stage, although she is stone blind. In this act Kelley does a mighty clever impression of the late Bert Savoy. Fred J. Ardath, Eitrl Hall and company offer “The Explanation,” in which Ardath stages a good ‘‘souse.’ Eddie and Frank Monroe are known as “Bouncing Babies” and they live up to their title. Charles Harrison, Sylvia Dakin and Billy Hogue appear in “The Three of Us.” Here is a novelty offering well done. Pietro was missing from the bill at Keith's when I attended. His place was taken by Sharkey. Roth and Hewitt from the Palace. These men more than made good. Ernie Golden and his orchestra of ten men are present with their idea of what a modem orchestra should be like. They bring an individual touch to each number. At Keith's all week.

THE REAL RUSSIAN STUFF IS ON VIEW AT PALACE We have had a lot of Russian stuff this season on the variety stage, but it remained for the Palace to bring the rea! article to town. Theodore Stepanoff is present the first half of the week in “Yarmark.” This might' be called an individual Russian revue. It opens with a vivid sieigh ride and then goes into Russian folk songs and steps. Stepanoff is a splendid dancer. He knows his Russian steps. He is sur 4 rounded with a large company who engage in a frolic of old Russia. The costumes are beautiful. The entire.act has been carefully mounted. If you want the real Russian article, then don’t pass up this act. This act has been a long time getting here, but it has arrived and it was worth waiting for. Billy Sharkey, Ed Roth and Jack Hewitt offer melody. The pianist sings, wnich is the best offered by this team. Their comedy song about Kokomo gets the laughs. Johnny Coulon, former bantamweight champion of the world, defies anyone in the audience to lift him when he doesn't want to be lifted. Two strong men attempted to lift Johnny, who weighs only 110 pounds, hut they failed. Johnnv and the audience have a good time while the demonstration is on. Don’t ask me how he docs it because I haven't the slightest idea. Dunley and Merrill offer “Much Ado About Nothing.” Dunley is seen as a census taker who inherits a farm and marries a girl before the act is ever. Here is some nice fun done in good taste. The movie feature is Fritz! Frunette in “Cause for Divorce.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. .J. GOOD REVUE TOPS NEW BILL ON VIEW AT LYRIC Andre Sherri has a pretty “Revue of 1924,” at the* Lyric this week. The act is well mounted and the leader of the ensemble is comely and dances with more than the usual alaci rity. A specialty dance by two members of the company while good in some regards, appeared to consfst for i the most part of the furious spinning |of the girl. Melvin Stokes sings weU. ; Os equal beauty as to mounting was I the novelty by Baraban, Grohs atid i company. First in Arab, then in Indian costumes, this little company of three staged some rather clever dances. The singing in the Indian scene is especially effective. A skit of Huck Finn, by Evans. | Mero and Evans stopped the show

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

when we witnessed the performance. Good fun, if tending a trifle toward hokum. A hick Sketch that does not revolt is introduced by Lynn and Una Wesley. Really funny. Dallas Walker must have started twirling the lariat before she got out of the cradle, but her parents surely were English, for her running fire of commeent lags far behind the technique displayed by the ropes. We liked her act. Morgan Davis and Lulu McCoy have filled their act too fulj of hokum. Parts are funny. Lulu plays the accordion well. Bill is closed by Rafayette’s dogs, a better-than-average dog act. Film bill includes “Smile, Please,” a Mack Sennett comedy, and a serial, “The Telephone Girl.” (By Observer.) •I* -1- -IMODERN VERSION OF “PECK’S BAD BOY” In a modern “Peck’s Bad Boy” at the Lincoln Square this week, Henry Peck, the bad boy, played by Harry Richards, has an overwhelming desire to hit whoever offends with a whiffletree, and toward the close of the performance brings in the almost forgotten member of the one-hoss shay to beat the villain. The cast follows: Henry Pack (a modern bad boy i Harry Richards Josiah Bumble B. K. Kilburne George Tucker Charles W Mercer Samantha Beese . .Miss Kathryn Van Esse Rev.

Marion in his own Columbia wheel show. I understand that Marion purchased the scenery of one of Ziegfeld’s Foliea of several seasons ago. This equipment, if I am not wrong, has been re-arranged to meet the demands of burlesque. There is no show on the Columbia Wheel circuit which dan come within a mile of the Marion show from a production standpoint. Many of the scenes are beautiful. No gaudy or vulgar show, but extreme good ta.ste is discovered. The girls are beautifully gowned. The chorus girls go in for individual stunts. Even a toe dancer is found In the large cast. Chief among the important women are Lillian Elliott, May Marvin, Mary Connors and others. The comedy end of this burlesque revue is furnished in good measure by Marion and Walter McManus. Their materijal is individual and their method of delivery is essentially their own. These men know how to get laughs legitimately. And what a climax Marion has in this show. He introduces two reaily old-timers —Miss Josephine Sable, 62, and Charles Diamond, 79. Marion himself is no spring chicken in the show business, as he wrote song hits over thirty-five years ago. Marion’s own show is at the Capitol all week. No other burlesque show I have seen this season comes within a mile of this one Here ia a burlesque show that I recommend to everybody. At the Capitol ail week. -I- -I- -I- ---( ONCERNING “KANDY KIDS” AT BROADWAY A specialty clog dance on roller skates by Arthur Brooks is one of the features of “The Kandy Kids,” at the Broadway this week. The comedy is somewhat clumsy at times, and some of the dancing is in bad taste. Cast includes Jack Ormsby, Sammy Spears and Betty Palmer. Cleo Miles does a specialty dance. (By Obrerver.) Other attractions on view today include: "The Enchanted Cottage” at the Circle: "The Governor’s Lady” at the Apollo;” “The Rendezvous" at

THIS is the era of the prevention of disease and sensible people do not wait until sickness has actually come before remedying the trouble. The crowded hospitals everywhere are sad examples of the results of neglect. Be especially watchful of children. Restlessness, lack of normal appetite and feverishness usually indicate constipation. Stop it that instant with a spoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and you will have Krevented real sickness. Mrs. la Williamson of 1637 Pine St., Long Beach, Cal. and Mrs. Lou Brawley of Self, Ark., never have illness in the family because of their prompt use of Syrup Pepsin. A Great Family Laxative It may be difficult to decide just what medicine to use out of the many that are offered, but it would not be if you knew the facts. There are laxatives, cathartics, purgatives and physics, and they vary in their reaction on the

system. Naturally, the S -onger the medicine e more it shocks the system, so wise parents never give anything but a laxative to children. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a mild laxative, a vegetable compound of Egyptian
