■DEVELOPMENTS IN THEATRICAL CIRCLES GOOD Merging of Interests and I Building of Zaring Outstanding. By Walter D. Hickman Two important theatrical moves during 1925 will make this year have effect upon 1926. The merging of the Shubert interests at the Murat with English's, and the placing of all legitimate attractions in English’s and the building of the new Zaring community theater in the north part of the city, are the two elements which will have much influence upon the new year. The Immediate financial and artistic success of the Zaring Theater, modern and beautiful, opens the way for the building of more real community theaters in Indianapolis. The “store room” theater is giving way all over the country to expensive and modern buildings. The Zaring is the first attempt, and a most successful one, to build a costly modern theater outside of the business district. Needed Concentration The merging of the Shubert interests with the interests at English’s makes possible the needed concentra-

tion of legitimate forces in Indianapolis. One great advantage of this merger is the elimination of costly and useless competition between the two houses. The “Music Box Revue” and George Artist never should "buck” each other in a city of the theatrical size of Indianapolis. This merger has brought a certain change of opinion in the minds of the bookers In. New York. Nearly every attraction playing English’s this season has done satisfactory business, and in some instances like “Topsy and Eva” and “No, No, Nanette,” played to absolute capacity.

Ed Wynn, considering the time of his engagement, did alee bus.ness. y Sensible Bookings And this merger Is no reflection upon thfte city’s ability to support good shows. It permits d*n**Me bookings and the concentration of interest upon one house. In the piuslo world, great progress lias been made. There has been more community work than ever this past year, caused to a great extent by radio entertainments. The Times by its WFBM programs oijce a week has Introduced some marvelous Indianapolis talent. This policy will be continued during 1926. There has been a great reawakening In choral singing here. The various choruses of the city have had their mo.it progressive years, including the Mendelssohn Choir, the Maeijnerchor, the Indianapolis Oratorio Society and others. Capacity for Concert Ona B. Talbot at the beginning of this season had the delightful experience of seeing a capacity house for an orchestral concert. She is now experiencing her greatest and biggest season. The Matinee Musicaje, by Introducing new artists here and the encouraging of local, appreciation of better music, 'has* had a most profitable twelve months. In the vaudeville field, the Lyric and Palace have registered with marvelous success, probably their largest year. Keith’s maintains Its standard and not only has held its regular patronage during the year but added a definite “new" public. The movie field has been most encouraging. Some of the best pictures did not “cash in” as they deserved but on the whole the Apollo, Circle, Ohio, Colonial and the Isis have had a good year. The general average of picture! has been much higher In an artistic way. Burlesque Is represented at the Broadway. The Berkell Players last summer "cleaned up” so much money that. Berkell could afford a real vacation this winter in California.

'THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SPEED IN RAZING OLD RESIDENCE SURPRISES MAN Work of Reliable Workers Is Lauded by Passing Motorist. "I’ve been watching the Reliable Wreckers take down that house,” remarked a man who passes FortyNinth St. and Michigan Rd. In his machine every day. "It’s simply amazing—the rapidity and order with which they proceed. I see that house wrecking is an art, as well as house building.” The house he referred to is tne old home of Dr. Thomas Noble, Jr., which will, through the systematic work of the Reliable Wreckers, be "as a tale that Is told” in a few days, making way for the doctor’s new home. The quick, clean work done at this point is Just a typical Illustration of the way that the Reliable WYeckers proceed. As soon as the last scrap of wreckage Is removed, the wrecking company will turn Its attention to Riley St., near the city hospitall, where it has contracted to remove a number of small houses for the park board. But, small houses or large, the policy of the Reliable Wreckers is the same: attention to details, quickness and order. Lumber from the buildings they raze is supplied to customers In any amount desired, hut only the best of the lumber otbained from the buildings razed Is sold to the Reliable Wrecker customers.

Carri carries and recommends the Sands hot water heating system, and customers report that even in''this cold weather, their houses are comfortable. He also has an excellent line of the Kohler and Standard equipment. The high grade materials and equipment la only half the story, however, for Carr also has skilled workmen, with years of experience behind them, to see that the Installation and repair work is well done.

HOUSEWIVES IN CITY PLEASED WITH INVENTION Water Softener Economical as Wei! as Convenient, They Say. Practically all housewives find the hardness of city water, a real problem. A good .water softener in the home, eliminating the necessity for using chemicals and large amounts of soap materials for toilet, loundry and cooking purposes, is both a great convenience and decided econohiy. The Puritan water softener, handled by August Busohtnann and Sons, Inc., dealers iri wholesale plumbing supplies at 1036 College Ave., has been tested and is recommended by many Indianapolis householders. It has also given decided satisfaction in public buildings. It can be Installed at a nominal cost. The softening material of the T’u ritan, which is called doucll, represents the greatest and most advanced step In the art of softening water. Doucll is not a chemical, and affects the quality of the water In no way other than to remove the hardness by a filtering process. From time to time, doucll is rejuvenated by the addition of common salt to the tank. No further attention is required, as\ doucll lasts forever. In auto service stations, the Puritan water softener Is widely used, furnishing water for radiators; In beauty parlors It Is highly appreciated, and In dry cleaning establishments it la almost Indispensable. A demonstration, which will convince any one of the merits of the Puritan, can be arranged through the local plumber or through August Buschmann & Sons, Ino.
