FEDERAL HEADS START MOVE TD SLASH EXPENSES i Coolidge Stirs Up ActivityDemands Pay Roll Be Cut, Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Summoned by President Coolidge to new efforts for economy, administrative heads of the Government today took stock of their departments and prepared for another drive to cut expenses. Immediate goal, which the President set Monday night in a speech at the semi-annual business meeting of the Government is to bring expenditures for the current fiscal "year within $3,000,000,000. A smashing drive to weed out the unnecessary and inefficient on the Federal pay roll will be undertaken at the President’s direction. Harding’s Wish The President’s request to bring expenditures within the $3,000,000,000 limit is to fulfill wish of the late President Harding to reduce cost of Government to that sum. It will require an additional saving of approximately $62,000,000 under the present contemplated expenditures. Coolidge vigorously announced determination to cut the Government pay roll. “We have superfluous employes, he said. “It is an unpleasant and difficult task to separate people from the Federal service, but it can be done. I advise Federal administrators to plan to operate with a smaller personnel than is now employed.” More Economy The President’s address was centered on a warning that the nation’s prosperity and consequent ability to pay more taxes waa not to be taken as any indication that the Administration’s economy policy was to be in the slightest degree relaxed. On the contrary, the President said, economy is just beginning. “Loyalty to the taxpayer of the nation demands a reduction in taxes," he said. Realtors to Hear Shank Mayor Shank will be the principal speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, Wednesday noon at the Chamber of Commerce. He will speak on civic affairs.

Dick Henderson Got Many Degrees When He Graduated From College

By WALTER D. HICKMAN SHERE are many kinds of degrees that a fellow may get when he graduates from college. f That is what Dick Henderson, singing comedian, admits at Keith’s this week. “Oh, I graduated with many degrees,” he allows, “because my temperature was 102.” Understand that Henderson is an English comedian who is making his

first tour, of the Keith-Albee theaters in this country. In a curtain talk, made necessary because of the size sincerity of his reception, stated he had been in this country only fifteen weeks. Henderson is an individual comedian who is actually a sensation on the Keith time. He has a rich singing voice. He knows how to wear and create eccentric clothes. He has anew way of an-

.-'s

GLADYS AHERN

nouncing laughter at his jokes, hnd always warns the audience not td laugh too much. He is a millionaire when it comes to material. He has delivery. Stopped the "show” when I was present. If he remains a vaudeville attraction, I am sure he will be a strong drawing card. Better not miss Henderson this week at Keith’s. Will and Gladys Ahern spin ropes, crack jokes and do some fine rope dancing. They make good with ease. Elly is a woman who balances a sofa on her forehead while ghe climbs a ladder. Splendid juggler. Walter Newman and company introduce the jazzy stenographer. The "steno” lets fly such an expression as "Now, won’t that jazz you.” Well acted. Chock-full of laughs. George MacFarlane, with a pianist and a danger, again is present. His songs are well selected. A real singing act. A splendid favorite here. Lillian Shaw is an artist who is famous on the stage because of her character studies. Some of her material is “wild,” but rich in a certain brand of comedy. -Her wedding number and the "result” of the wedding are comedy scenes which panic variety patrons. One of the biggest sized hits this house has had this season. ' • Patti Moore with her orchestra and two youthful dancers have a dance revue which runs at great speed. Miss Moore is a splendid trained dancer. This act will keep you in your seats until the very last minute. Another comedy show which you cannot afford to miss at Keith’s. -|. -j. -1TRY AND GET SEATS FOR “BLOSSOM TIME” TONIGHT You will not believe this, but “Blossom Time” on its fourth visit to the Murat is selling out and standing them up. Last night this success opened at the Murat for the fourth time. Every seat was taken. . Even while this is being written every seat is sold for tonight. The Wednesday and Saturday matinee advance sale is very large. Our tip is: Get seats at once, because capacity seems to be the rule. It is not necessary to go into detail about "Blossom Time.” It deserves to be a success. The cast is as gocjd as ever and the Shuherts see to it that the production matches the cast. You will see just as good a performance this week at the Murat as on the previous visits’of the show r . Many 'well-known names are in the present cast. It is as follows: Mitzi Edith Thayer Be.labruna Laura Arnold Fritz i . * Alma Keller K'-tzi Virginia Danfortn Mrs. Kranz Mary Stock well oreta . . Feme Newel! Baron Kranz Schober Roy Cropper Franz Schubert Bertram Eeacock Kranz William Danforth Count Sharntoff Yvan Servais Vorl Georre Hackett Kupelweieer Paul Ker Von Sen wind Townaend Ahearn Binder Clement Taylor Erkman Lawrence Roberts Bonsy .\., Frank Noyes Novotny David Andrada Roai Pegy O’Donnell Mrs Coburg Erba Robeson Waiter .-. Phi' Keimar. Dancer . . . Peggy O’Donnell The w*rk of Danforth as Kranz, Peacock as Franz Schubert abd the Mitzi of Edith Thayer is wel' k.’ wn on previous visits of “Blossom Time.” This assures good singing and splendid comedy. We have a new tenor in Roy Cropper and anew Bellabruna in Laura Arnold. Both satisfactory. “Blossom Time” remains just as big a favorite as ever. The capacity house of last night proves this. At the Murat all week. (By Observer.) -I- -I- -IZOE AKINS TALKS BEFORE BIG AUDIENCE. Zoe Akins, playwright and author, talked to a large audience, last night

ROY CROPPER The leading tenor with “Blossom Time” now at the Murat is Roy Cropper. He leaves the company Wednesday night to go to New York to join the Chicago company of “The Student Prince,” which is such a success on Broadway. The tenor who will take his place in “Blossom Time” has arrived.

at Hollenbeck Hall under the auspices of the American Association of University Women, The large audience attracted by Miss Akins proves that Indianapolis does attend lectures. Miss Akins told of her experiences in writing “Papa," “The Magical City,” “Declasse,” “Footloose,” .“Daddy’s Gone A-Hunt-ing,” "The Varying Shore,’ “The Texas Nightingale” and others. She told of Ethel Barrymore, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Harrison Grey Fiske, Emily Stevens, Elsie Ferguson, Margaret Anglin and others with whom she has had many experiences. Ethel Barrymore appeared In her biggest success, “Declassee.” She admitted that an earache was the sign that she could write well. Previous to her talk, Mrs. Walter Flandorf with her husband at the piano, sang & group of songs.

SPLENDID REVUE TOPS NEW BILL AT LYRIC |fj|'Revue De’Art, the headline attraction at the Lyric this week, is one of the prettiest vaudeville revues we have seen in some tim& It is full of color,, music and! a refreshing’ vitality of Its own. With one exception, that of arranging one of the violin solos in a cheaply sentimental * way, the act holds interest until the end. The first part of the act, and the opening, is in a Spanish setting. The costumes and music are in perfect harmony. The four male voices are shown to their best advantage in this part. The other features of the act of the most merit were a toe dance, a soifg by one of the women, and the ensemble of the whole com--pany in a kind of minuet. To repeat, it is a very entertaining act. Maureen Englin made quite a hit with her rendition of “Hinky Dinky Pralez Vous.” She sings the song as written and with Maureen Englin’s variations. Quite clever. With her personality injected into each one Miss Englin sings several other hits, among which was one about "Old Maid Jim” that was new to the writer and was full of fun. Miss Maureen is another one of those people that have entertainment at heart without the slightest desire to "hold out” on the audience. Liked her very much. Beehee and Hassan open the bill with some intricate feats of balancing. The surprising thing about this act was when one of the two members admitted they were acrobats. Ross and Mae Bell have many “wise cracks" for the benefit of the audience. Dove and Wood have a song and dance act. Dobbs, C|ark and Dare entertain with much nut drollery. * . “Fred's Flappers,” . meaning Fred’s Seals, are areal talented bunch of animals, or fish, which ever they are. One of the seals plays the melody, "Where the River Shannon Flows” on some electrical bells. Consider this quite a feat. At the Lyric all week. (By the Observer.) -I- -I- -ISONG PICTURE HAS ITS PLACE ON VARIETY STAGE It has been the contention of some that “song pictures” are too slow in action for the vaudeville stage. I admit that it takes atmosphere and time to develope the song picture as presented in the big revues. , ! / Those who are in doubt that such entertainment is for the vaudeville stage, should drop in'at the Palaee and see Mills and Campbell. They first appear in a costume song picture, singing the songs of our grandfathers and grandmothers. Then comes the ballads of the eighties and last the songs of today. such as "June Night,” “Mandalay,” and others. Mills and Campbell have good voices. They reflect refinement and ’aste. This act went over so big when I was there that there , was no doubt in my mind that song pictures cqji be presented successfully upon the variety stage. Mitzi (not the Mitzi of the musical comedy stage who visits English’s) and her dancers, have a colorful dancing act. Act is presented in a pleasing manner. Paul, Levan and Miller go in for comedy acrobatics with a man in blackface doing some good falls. M£ry Mayfield and Harry Golson make their hit with a modern travesty on "Romeo and Juliet.” A step Ladder is used for a balcony and Romeo wears a tabfe cover for a mantle. “Station J. O. Y.,” suggested by the radio erase, introduces an instrumental trio, two girls and a man who about ruins the act by attempting to be a comedian. The movie feature is Agnes Avres

Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—tlje substitute for calomel-*-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver la almost instantaneous. These little olive-colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.' The pleasant ’little tabrets do the good that calomel' does, but no bad after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth ? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to .take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take it a place. Headaches, “dullness” and that laiy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel "logy” and “heavy." They "clear” clouded brain and “perk up” the spirits. 15c and 30c.

For Catarrh , and Colds 1 To relieve catarrh or check a head cold, melt a little Vicks in a spoon and inhale the vapors of Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Thyme and Turpentine. Also put a little in each nostril and snuff well back up the head. Another way is to heat a tin cup, put in a teaspoonful of Vicks and inhale the vapors that way. As fast as the vapors lose their strength, throw out the melted Vicks and add fresh. Millions of mothers find Vicks the ideal remedy for croup and children’s colds because it not only brings quick relief but avoids dosing delicate little stomachs with so much medicine.
