CLATTER OF STEEL AS THEATER RISES Laborers Toil, Machines Grind on and Modern Temple of Art and Amusement Begins to Take Shape.

By Edwin V. O’Neel Batter of a steel riveter high above the roar of city streets...a mechanical woodpecker solemnly gnawing at a tin r00f...a giant skeleton reaching scrawny hands to the sky ...ghastly in the early morn light .. .standing against the sky by broad clay. The new $1,225,000 Indiana theater is under construction on \V. Washington St., between Illinois St. and Capitol Avcn. Insignificant grains of sand... huge steel beams.. .a touch of man’s skill.. .humble workmen laboring unconcerned above the clang' of street cars and tbe shriek of taxicab brakes.. .people passing indifferently through ''the barricade... the dream of an innocent child building sand castles. Following specifications of Rubush and Hunter, architects, the William P. Jungclaus Company is erecting one of the finest picture houses in Hoosierdom. Newness, Beauty and Art Guidance of a master mind....the elements are cemented.. i .rising up is a gigantic building... .optimism ... .newness... .beauty... .art... ,ac-

tivity .... aspiration .... finance.... twentieth century amusement. Immediately on the west is the old Park, now the Capitol, Theater, scene of many a gay burlesque performance, converted into a lu-cent picture house. Cracked brick walls scowl at the fresh timbers and .running mortar ...the historic structure smiles cynically at the infant building.... smoky walls recall they once were bright....a vacant saloon stands a monument to days of yore....a pawn shop keeper's reveries... .a hotel guest.... dreams of the musty past....a fluttering pigeon lights to rest Its pinion... .wires ready to illuminate monster singns. Day after day the old site takes on more of the appearance of a modern temple. A concrete hoist 120 feet ta11.... a Negro in a cage suspended high dumping buckets of mortar.... warm concrete running down a chutje into forms....the puff of a steam engine the buzz of electric saws.., .the beating of hammers.... burning salamanders driving away Jack Frost at night... .tarpaulins protecting concrete from the weather

...<mere men struggling with heavy forms—human beings risking their lives for wages large trucks dumping washed river gravel. Bold Signs In all this is romance—young “Mac,” a John Herron Art Institute graduate, left his canvas and found the romance here bending over blue prints. Bold slgijs chronicle the story . . . Indiana ... a great theater . . .in honor of a great State ... to be operated by Circle Theater Company . . . a magnificent, tremendous ballroom ... a warning, “danger, keep out.” Soon scintillating lights will convert the drab sight into a mecca for amusement hunters; thousands ■tfill admire the Spanish architecture and brick terracotta front; the screen will flash world happenings; girls will pace into a street shop to purchase fags” and orchestras will play the latest melodies. A blue-coated traffic policeman soberly turns his * semaphore . . . the Statehouse flag floats In the breeze . . . and the great engineering feat goes on. FRENCH TRADE • PARIS —During the first nine months of 192S France's trade with other countries aggregated 39,243,000 francs for imports and 36,297,000 francs for export. Trade with colonies of her own amounted to 5,048,000 francs for imports and 6,411,000 for export. The visible balance shows a deficit of 2,846,000 francs for foreign trade, while trade with the colonies shows a surplus of 1,363,000 francs.
