CIVIC HEAD GIVES SUPPORT TO CITY MANAGER MOVE Snethen Warns Government Must Be Free From Politics, “If the city manager form of government can be divorced from politics, I feel it would be a much better plan than the present system,” said Edward O. Snethen, president of Federation of Civic Clubs, today. “In order to separate it from politics the men who run for commissioners should be interested in the city rather than just politics,” he said. "I should suggest they be chosen from active civic clubs, so the city manager selected by them would not be a politician. “The present movement for com-' mission, instead of city manager form, seems to have been started by a political faction, and is a bad beginning for anew form of government, which should be free from politics. “In traveling through the west I have noticed the city manager plan has been very successful in most places. However, the cities with which I am familiar are smaller than Indianapolis. “The Federation of Civic Club feels this is of utmost importance and a committee has been named to investigate. Reports will be heard at the next meeting, Feb. 27. FARMER SHOOTS SELF Not Determined Whether Death Was Accidental or Suicide. Bu Times Svccial NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Feb. 3.

Cranolene Healing Cream, used externally, is based on this discovery. In this cream the cranberry juices have been combined with soothing, cooling, healing oils. It instantly stops the itching and speedily restores the skin to its natural health and color. Cranolene Is sold by druggists, 35c, $1 and $2:50, or sent postpaid on receipt of price. Samples free.

Rosa Lee Walden, of Berlin, Ga. “It always, got results, and that was what father wanted. • “After I married and went to housekeeping , we continued to keep Black-Draught in tour house. A body just' has to have something of the kind to relieve indigestion and bowel disorders, and I have never found anything so effective as BlackDraught, although I have tried many, “With a family of growing children it is absolutely necessary' •to have a good, reliable, simple medicine to keep them straightened out when they get a little upset. I always want something mild and something I am sure will not injure the system. I have found BlaekDraught to be reliable and we are never without it. The 'Old Dependable’—that's what my husband calls It. “I make it into a tea for the children and give it to them for bad colds. It relieves the system of impurities and so relieves the cold. For sour stomach and gas on the stomach, I have found it especially good."

‘The Gob’and Swift Are Same People; Marie Gives Women a Few Pointers

By WALTER D. HICKMAN ADIO bedtime stories somei |-ci times tell us of the sailor who L •' s the sheik of the ocean. Upon that idea Paul Gerard Smith has based the idea for the new sketch used by Thomas F. Swift and his assistants. Swift is one of those pleasant and worthwhile personalities who had arrived somewhere on the stage because he has used clean but wise material. Swift is at Keith’s this week in a sketch called “The Gob.” Thomas is the gob who dates up three different “dames” on a bright afternoon, never forgetting to put the time of calling at the dinner hour. So this gob, with his sob stuff about baby shoes, and his poem and song about each girl, * finally is assured three square meals. Suddenly the chief petty officer arrives on the scene and tells him the big boat with the guns leaves for China that night. The gob does not give up, but pulls out his address book, only to discover that he. has the address of a dame in China. Smart and wise fun, splendidly done by Swift, Jacqueline Mason, Peggy Daugherty, Virginia Dale and W. Francis Clark. Henry Santrey has an orchestra with him this season which is a corker. As usual there is toe much Santrey. He is on the stage too long. That is my personal objection to Santrey. Be your own judge. He knows all the little tricks of how to stay on the stage forty-five minutes and pass the responsibility to the audience. The pianist in this act is a natural comedian. He could walk away with the act, as could the harpist and one of th violinists. “The Tin Roof Blues,” as played by the orchestra is hot southern jazz. As usual, Harry and Anna Seymour are on the bill, which includes Santrey. Miss Seymour and Harry do about the same routine as usual, but have the assistance of the crack pianist in the Santrey act. Miss Seymour is still one of the best comics in the business. • Margie Coates has gathered together most of all the new hot jazz songs and hands ’em out to great applause. Charles O. Ditmer is a baritone of good voice, but he does not seem to be at ease on the variety stage. John Regay and Vera Delores,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

tlcal, but the standing on the head stunt. It is simple for Marie, but I doubt if it will be popular with the women in the audience. Miss Marie then does some stunts in perfect form (not a joke either) on the rings and on the rope. She is a splendid showman and registers with ease. The Welder Sisters have a song, dance and instrumental revue which possesses class and merit. The sisters play the violin, banjo, the piano, dance and sing. Such accomplishments seem to indipate that they are not as young and sisterly as they try to make the audience believe. If the sisters would not try to be so darned sweet, they would register more firmly bemuse they have the talent. They should take a look at the Duncan Sisters and check some of this sisterly attitude In their dressing rooms. The man dancer in this act is a marvelous toe dancer. Splendid.

TfcGOAL WITHIN |>r A Til REACH ~THEN lIE AI 11

CLIFFORD, HOLLAND is the engineer whose brain supervised the construction of the vehicular tunnel between New York and New Jersey. And two days before the completion of the tunnel he died. To struggle a life-time for a goal and to fall by the wayside just when it is within reach is indeed a tragedy. This great engineer doubtless believed that the construction of this tunnel—the connecting link between two great states—was the culmination of a life-time of strenuous work given to his profession. But he did not live to see the results of his herculean efforts in active operation. There are literally millions of Clifford Hollands in the whirlpool of business and professional life who are making the same mistake that he made. They forget the most important factor in life —health! They are all scheduled for a similar tragedy. Just in the midst of some unusually important activity they are liable to extend themselves a little too much.

R. 4?” is a good singing organization. Am thankful that they do not try to be comedians. They have well selected songs and they permit the song story to get the laughs. Barber and Jackson have poor material but a natural gift in getting the attention of the audience. Camilla’s birds are well trained. A mighty good act of its kind. Have seen none better this season. The movie feature Is “The Narrow Street.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. -I- -I- *l- - BARREL, A MAN AND GIRL GOOD COMBINATION Years ago in another city, I saw Chester Spencer and Lola Williams. Yedfrs ago, Chester followed Miss Williams on the stage rolling a barrel. There was nifty and rapid conversation with Spencer doing the nut stuff. Years have passed, but Chester and Miss Williams have kept the barrel, the conversation and the same old line of talk. The years have not changed the result as it remains just-the same. This ccuple is still a hit. You will run across Spencer and Williams at the Lyric this week. Here is a couple that knows how to deliver eccentric material. Juthough the material is years \old, yet it seemed new to me

yesterday at the Lyric, because Chester Spencer knows 1 how to put life and personality into mere words. His trick of explaining the beginning of the act to those who arrive late is a sure laugh getter. This couple doesn’t seem to get old. Spencer seems to know the formula. Still a corking good eccentric act. Dave White is one of those youthful persons who dances well, but is wise enough to place not only goodlooking but talented girls in his act. He also knows the value of smart scenic beauty. One of’ the girls is a good toe dancer. Little Lord Robert is one of the shortest comedians in the business, but he does female Impersonations just the same. Has a rather clever idea in introducing his act. He also has an interesting take-off on Valentino. cr Wilson and Giles indulge in a conversation and some danalng under the title of “Darktown Frolics.” Doyle and Dunn have an act about sailors'. They sing a bit. Bob, Bob and Bobbie, two men and a dog. close the show. The men juggle. I missed Joe St. Onge, as I arrived too late. At the Lyric all week. HERE ARE WOODEN ACTORS THAT TALK I have seen a few actors that

seemed a little blockheaded but not until Monday afternoon did I see any real wooden heads really act. This troupe of wooden pleads (I presume they are wooden) is Tory Sarg’s Marionettes and they presented a program that made several hundred school kiddles howl with joy and pleased the many grown ups present. So far as mechanics are concerned I can not see that Serg’s dolls are superior to several acts in vaudeville. But the choice of material, the use of music and voice and lights and the beautiful costuming and scenery lifts this marionette show into the class of things well worth while. On Monday the feature of the performance was the “Pied Piped.” Needless to say the piper thrilled the kiddies as he led the horde of rats out'from the. town. But more amusing were the divertissements which preceded. Best of these was the well- known “parade” done by real wooden soldiers and a piano solo by a marionette -who bore a striking resemblance to Paderewski. In fact from the time the black face announcer made his first appearance there was not a dull moment. Any one who has not seen these little actors has a real novelty

Then the cold finger of death grasps fhem by the hand. Their balance in the bank of vitality has been exhausted. The body once alive with energy becomes a mere lump of clay. And it is all due to the mistakes made through not recognizing the requirements of that wonderful machine, the human body. You should work in harmony with the laws of nature, not against them. Learn more about your body. The chances are that you will then realize how you have been abusing it and with that realization will come the desire to take better care of yourself. Every issue of Physical Culture contains authoritative, interesting information for your physical well-being. It shows you how the weak have become strong—how those with chronic diseases haveconquered their ill health—how those in good health keep themselves that way. It will interest you, it will awaken you, it will inspire you with a desire f orperf ect health and then will show you how to get it

treat in store for themselves. Sarg's marionettes will perform "Treasure Island” this afternoon and tonight at Caleb Mills Hall (By the Observer). The movies today offer: “The Devils Cargo,” at the Ohm; “Inez From Hollywood” at the Circle; “He Who Gets Slapped” at the Apollo; “North of 36” at Mister Smttk*’. “Hurricane Kid” at the Isis tfc* first episodes of anew serial, “Galloping Hoofs” at the Alamo and the Regent. The Capitol this week is presenting another stock burlesque show under' the title of “Follies and Scandals.” Two-Week Revival Opens The Rev. C. P. Greenfield has opened a two-week revival service at the Southern Ave. Baptist Church, 1166 E. Southern Ave. A corps of personal workers will assist. Services will be held each night except Saturday.
