SCR IPPJ- HOW AMD

The Marching Mayor Mayor Duvall boldly threatens to mob the office and the plant of the Times. He announces that his “boys" are organized, and thinly veiled his threat of attempting to start a reign of mob violence in this city in order tq silence the newspaper which is attempting to save this city from chaos. No member of his cabinet to which he made this declaration on Saturday rebuked him for what is as yet his most serious blunder. His resentment is aroused by approval in the Times of the action of the Real Estate Board, which certainly has a very deep and legitimate purpose in trying to preserve not only an orderly government but conditions which will not destroy the values cl properties in the city. The Real Estate Board announced that it proposed to send committees to plead with the mayor in person to do one decent thing for Indiankpolis by resigning and turning the office over to someone upon whose tenure rests no shadow of illegality. The Times very mildly, and certainly most properly, suggested that other groups of citizens should send similar committees to impress the mayor with the seriousness of the present situation. That, says the mayor, is anarchy. Someone should remind him that there is in this country such a document as the Constitution, and that in it is written indelibly and for all time the right of citizens to peacefully assemble and to petition. The organizations which have demanded that the mayor resign can by no stretch of the imagination be called “anarchistic.” They represent the most conservative element of this community. Their members are the most stable of the citizens, at times almost too static. And yet the maVor threatens that if these leaders of conservative thought representative of the com_ merce and industry of this city dare to call upon him in the City Hall he will turn loose his organized “boys" upon the Times. Who are these “boys” that the mayor says are so organized that he can march them Against this newspaper? Certainly they are not the city employes, policemen and firemen who are paid to defend and protect the city. The Times would feel safe to send out its office boy to shoo off all and any of the policemen and firemen who would rally to the call of the mayor for any such purpose. Who, then are these organized “boys” that he says will march upon this newspaper office? The people may wish to know. And if the mayor feels that he must march somewhere, he should know by this time that‘there is but direction for him L o go and that is OUT. Why Hoover In 1918, when Woodrow Wilson issued his plea for the election of a Democratic congress that his international program might be successful, Herbert Hoover signed the call, thereby flying in the face of the Republican campaign committee and of all those to whom party success means the beginning and the end of politics. In 1920, when Hoover was being prominently mentioned as a possibility for the Republican presidential nomination, he suddenly announced that he would not declare his party affiliation (whether Republican or Democratic) until he was informed as to what the platform makers of the two major parties intended to stand for. At a time when the leaders among the Republican politicians were turning against the League of Nations, Hoover came forth with a declaration In which he characterized the league as a paramount issue. When the Jacksonville mine conference was on, Hoover sponsored the wage agreement, against which the employers had so strongly set themselves. With Dwight Morrow of the House of Morgan, contending that the government had no right to scrutinize loans that American bankers are willing to make to European .countries (whether such loans might be for powder and poison gas or for farm machinery and rehabilitation), Hoover, contending that loans to non-paying foreign debtors except for “productive purposes” were dangerous, opposed approval of a $100,000,000 loan to France. ** * f This newspaper has expressed the belief that Hoover, of all mentioned to date as having a chance for the 1928 Republican nomination, is the best in the list. The events in Hoover’s public life, cited above, constitute our reason for that belief. Not that we agree with Hoover’s position in each of those events, but— Because we think they typify what the Republican party today most direly needs—independent thinking and courage in its leadership. * * * The Republican . party is a long way down the hill from the high peak of Lincolnian or Rooseveltian idealism. Its political philosophy has come to represent one thing and one thing only—that which is. The weeds of political smugness have grown rank in the garden of its party success. Its sole slogan is the status quo. To stay in the saddle and to let well enough alone—beyond that, nothing matters. Newberryism niay flourish, the Falls and Dohenys may plot, Vareism may thrive, Jess Smith and Daugherty may go as far as they’like, and Stephensonism may dominate Indiana—so long as the party remains in power. In the conduct of convention af_ fairs, what happens in the committee on resolutions amounts to little, but what occurs in the committee on credentials counts for everything. Poliical and social progress are not bred in such an atmosphere. Yet that atmosphere most certainly has surrounded the last eight years of Republicanism. The reason, this newspaper believes, has been a lack at the top of just such qualities of independent political thought and action as those demonstrated by Hoover when he flaunted the party brand, offended the party leaders, went against the power of the mine operators and irritated the House of Morgan. . * / While Hoover is not by any means a political

idealist in the twenty-four-HBur-a-day sense that characterizes a Norris, he is nevertheless an idealist, weaving though he does into his idealism a wide web of the practical. He does do his own thinking. He does not wear a party collar. He is not for “the program” that suits the politicians whether for the good of the whole country or not. And he does have A chance for the nomination, despite the fact that most of the professional Republican politicians, the boys that “play the game,” are against him. / That he possesses the qualities in very grett degree necessary to a competent day-by-day conduct of the presidential job has been amply demonstrated by his public life during the war and in the Department of Commerce. While it is conceivable that the Panorama may change between now and next June, and that other desirable Republicans may loom forth, as things stand today those now figuring as practical possibilities for the nomination are limited to the following: Lowden, Dawes, Longworth, Hughes, Hoover. Os that line-up, for those who desire something more than the soddeu political complacency that has characterized the last eight years, there is just one answer—and that is Hoover.

An Excuse or An Alibi? The reason given by Governor Jac ; ;son for‘'refusing to call a special session of the Legislature Is interesting rather than convincing. It is interesting because of its omissions, and that lack of frankness which the governor has so often displayed on important matters. It lacks conviction because the reason assigned is so utterly at variance with such expressions of public opinion as have been made not only in Indianapolis but in other parts of the State. The governor says that he has received many letters of protest against the holding of a special session at this time but he refuses to make public the names of a single signer to these protests. Surely the people of the State are entitled to know the names of those who do not wish this session and who have appealed to him to prevent it. Can it be that those who made this protest are too cowardly to take a public stand? Or is it that the governor fears that were the names of these signers to be made public they would in themselves furnish a State-wide and imperative reason for such a session. The Governor assumes much when he says that there is reason to believe that no member of the legislature would vote differently now than he did a few months ago. He assumes that the members of the Legislature who voted to prevent the people of Indianapolis from changing to the city manager form of government until the term of Mayor Duvall should have expired in 1930 would vote to keep in office a man under sentence to jail and convicted by a jury of corruption in obtaining that office. By that assumption the governor indicates every member of the Legislature who voted for this most I vicious law of being not only corrupt but the willful protector of corruption. He indicates every member who cast a vote for this law of being so degraded in conscience, so lacking in sense of morality, so to all shame that they would deliberately stand at the side of a corruptionist in an assault upon self-govern- j ment. | It is a rather grave and serious charge which the governor makes against the legislators when he nonchalantly assumes that they have not changed their minds. It is a fair inference to likewise assume that were Governor Jackson faced with the duty of signing or vetoing that same measure today he would again sign it and saddle upon the people of Indianapolis as mayor, the man who now stands in the shadow of the cell. The governor says that the cost of a special session which would be borne by the people of the whole State is too great, and he throws in as an additional excuse the fact that a special election would have to be held in one senatorial district. He forgets that it is costing the people of Indian, apolis directly in taxes, and indirectly through the tremendous loss of business which comes from its shame thousands of dollars to every dollar it would take to right the wrong perpetrated by the Legislature and approved by him. * In defense of that Legislature let it be said confidently that there are enough honest men in that body who would oday vote very differently not only upon the measure which shackles Indianapolis buc upon at least one other matter than they did in tha regular session if they were given an opportunity. Does the Governor believe that it would be possible today for the leaders and lobbyists to force the Republican members into a party caucus and make suppression of the secrets of the “black boxes” a. party measure. Does the Governor believe that any force or power could prevent that Legislature if given a chance to repent from probing not only the crimes which have been investigated by grand juries, but the equally infamous political scandals of which proof is now available. The demand for a special session came from sixty thousand men and women who voted to adopt a new form of government which they hope will forever prevent a recurrence of present conditions. ,It was presented by men who stand for hohesty, integrity and decency. It came from men and womerf whose motives are not open to question. It was based on a plea for justice, it was urged as a public .necessity. It was designed to save Indianapolis from shame humiliation and chaos. The answer of the governor can not be accepted, he must reverse himself, the people will interpret his explanation of a refusal not as reasons, not even as excuses, but as a pure manufactured “alibi.” ( Don’t marry trombone players, girls; they always let things slide.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: With All Our Colleges and 1 Universities We Ought to Have Produced at Least a Score of Men in Each Party, Any Qne of Whom Would Be Worthy of the Highest Office in the Land .

Showing how easy it is to steal does not prove that honest folk are thieves, yet that seems to be the sum and substance of Dr. Dorothy Logan’s logic. She fakes a channel swim and says it proves what others could have done, or might have done. Asa matter of ordinary Common sense, it proves nothing of the kind. The fact that she climbed into a boat two hours off the French coast, stayed in it until she was within half an hour of the English coast and then swore falsely that she had swum the channel merely proves what she was willing to do. Mexico’s Mussolini The figure of Calles has grown by leaps and bounds within the past two weeks. The collapse of the revolution leaves him almost solitary in his bigness on the Mexican horizon. Were he has been regarded as a strong political leader, he is now looked upon as a virtual dictator. He can become a Mussolini if he chooses. Already a movement is on foot to change the constitution so that he can serve two additional years if not an additional term.

Obregon’s Candidacy The most interesting feature of the changed situation in Mexico is its effect on the candidacy of Former President Obregon. He has been the candidate for the Calles faction, and the full strength of the administration has been placed at his support. Since he has served one term, the constitution would have to be amended for him to be eligible for another, and the Calles administration h&s advocated such an amendment. If the constitution must be amended, however, a good many Mexicans are wondering if it would not be more sensible to amend it in favor of Calles rather than Obregon. Cal Our Own Calles Though lacking the fireworks, we face a somewhat similar issue in this country. If some Mexicans are ready to change their constitution in order to keep Calles in office, some Americans are ready to abandon a custom of 130 years standing in order to keep Coolidge in office. Senator Fess of Ohio is the latest to raise his voice in favor of such a proposition.

Bad Case of Hero Worship Senator Fess simply cannot think of anyone else for the Republicans to nominate. He has not a single word of commendation for even such a close associate and prominent figure in Ohio politics as speaker Longworth. He is so far gone as to believe that public sentiment will stampede the Republican convention in favor of Coolidge if party leaders fail. It is a bad case of hero worship but the Senator is not alone. Reflection on Education The Democrats are quite as bad> off as the Republic;.ns when it comes to inability to think of more than one candidate. Neither party admits that It has more than one or two presidential possibilities. Perhaps, that is true, but if so, it is a sa<t reflection on our costly system of education. With all our colleges and universities we ought to have produced at least a score of men in each party, and one of whom would be worthy of the highest office in the land, and we ought to have produced intelligence enough to recognize them. Arson by Firemen Once more Long Island volunteer firemen engage in arson to strut their stuff. . This is another reflection on our costly system of education. In this instance, as in several others, the boys who set fires in order to show what good work they could do putting them out, come from good families, have received the benefits of public school training and were regarded in their home community as eminently respectable. They failed to realize their responsibility as servants and members of society. Job for Public Schools We are teaching our children how to do things, but are we teaching them what to do—what is right, what is important, what is sensible? It takes the same kind of technical skill to make a safe as to crack it. Something detei mines the direction in which that technical slSffl etsll be used. Are we paying enough attention to that aspect of education? Back of the law are certain conceptions of justice and ethics. How can we have law abiding people, much less people who understand the law, if these conceptions are not imparted to each generation? ' Children \-.sed to get them through contact with churches and Sunday schools, with that Icontact growing les /M less, our Jpublic schools must take up the work.

Babies They Sure Are but the Emil Seidel Crowd Wears Baby Hoods While Playing Some Hot Music

Just sing me a baby song is the recent invitation of a song writer to make the world a happier place to live in. Taking the idea of that “baby” song, Emil Seidel has made his own arrangements of this tune now heard much about town. Emil turns himself and others of his orchestra in “babies” just for a minute of fun ypgygmap while playing “A Grownup Baby transformation is Ig accomplished not by any special ] hospital treatjjtjp ~ fl ment, but by BR. * & members of the orchestra placing gtfLl An Baby hoods upon ** *JH their heads. Here ,' ' > 'lifSj just a minute T MM of wild and exw treme fun, but the ■fat idea g oes over with a bang at the Aileen Pringle Apollo this week. Seidel may have had the fear that this event of becoming babies again in appearance might be too extreme, but he should be satisfied with the applause and laughs that this number gets. It keeps an orchestral director busy and even a little “wild” these days to dig up novelty events. Remember chat this sort of thing is all in fun, and as fun it wins. During this same number slides are thrown on the screen showing father playing golf at 80 and grandma wearing short skirts and going a bobbed blonde. * Since Thurston Spangler started to make professional appearances as a singer, he has made an honest effort to learn the art or trick oi putting over a popular song. This I was sure of on hearing him at the Apollo yesterday. He has a pleasinig voice and is possessed with a certain personality which aids him to assume a sort of an intimate at. titude with the audience without being actually intimate. That is a difficult thing to accomplish. Seidel is at the piano for his two iiumbers. In considering “Body and Soul,” the feature movie, one must bear In mind that drama on the stage often becomes character melodrama. And that is what, this photoplay really is. There is really not a laugh in this play because its theme is concerned with a drunken old doctor in Switzerland being married to a very young girl. The doctor, through drink, becomes crazed to the extent that he brands his initials upon the bare back of his wife so that all men might know that she is his property. Here is a grewsome idea done in melodramatic realism by Lionel Barrymore, who specializes in men who totter, both mentally and morally upon the stage and screen. It may be great acting, but the idea is terrible. Aileen Pringle is the girl who wears the brand. Others in the cast include Norman Kerry and T. Roy Barnes, As far as I am concerned the jury is still out on this melodramatic mess of thrills and horror.

Another Milestone

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

Bill includes Ben Turpin in a comedy, and a news reel. At the Apollo all week. WHAT? NO FEMALE CHORUS IN THIS REVUE A corking good revue without a female chorus? Can it be possible? My answer to that inquiry is “Jazz ala Carte” as being presented at the Indiana this week. I have seen and studied all of this band presentations at this the-

ater since this new form of entertainment has become a commanding factor in movie theaters. Am sure that I can tell you at this time with all sincerity that this revue has more worth while music and better individual talent than other presentations at this theater. This is due to the fact, I take it, that the female chorus

Richard Dix

has been eliminated and that different sets of principals do their stuff between feature numbers of the orchestra. There is real musical quality to many of these numbers, such as “Shadow Song” from “Dinorah,” as done by Miss Rosemary Pfaff, who has taken the stage name of just Rosemary. She is truly a fine artist as to voice, because she has been not only splendidly trained, but has had the experience of several years’ engagement with high powered and salaried entertainment. This is the song which most peoplfe remember Galli-Curci, because it is filled with flute high notes. Beautifully done by Miss Pfaff with orchestral background. The opening number has that better quality because a group of six men to orchestral music sing choruses from “The Student Prince,” and “The Prince of Pilsen.” A1 and Ray Samuels are tap dancers of real class and ability. The eccentric dancing of Paul Howard is a gem. Here is a man with real mean feet and even “meaner” kicks. He stops the show. Peggy English is well known on phonograph records and she sings several numbers. Charles Rozalia is an eccentric musician, who plays musical instruments done up in strange attire. The finale is well done as it blends jazz and clas; ical music in which nearly all of the principals take part. Charlie Davis as master of ceremonies is feeling more at home each week and this is bringing a clever smoothness to everything that he does. The orchestra is doing the same thing. “Shanghai Bound” is one of those fighting Chinese things which has invaded stage and screen since “The Shanghai Gesture” caught on with such telling box office effect. In this story we see modern China as the movie story writers understand it for screen purposes. Here we see a gang of bad Chinese bandits making if mighty unpleasant for both good Chinese as well as foreigners. Here we see Richard Dix as the supposedly captain of a Chinese freighter. He protects some Americans from the bandit mob and the rest of the picture shows how he fought and outwitted the mob while the boat was going through a narrow pass. Here we have some good underwater fighting, but I got the idea that the climax was not long enough to warrant the length of the preceeding action. Much attention is given to the way that our hero tames a bunch of society snobs, who seek shelter from the mob on his boat. Mary Brian is chief in support. Maurice shows how many instruments a pipe organ has concealed. A good ngrve'.ty well playud. Bill includes other events. At the Indiana all week.

“RED” LEAVES HIS ICE WAGON FOR A RACING CAR The ice wagon certainly started Red Grange on his way to fame after he tied up with university football. And so Grange, after leaving his ice wagon for good and jumped into fame as a football player, also jumped into the movie game. To my way of thinking that because a man is the world's greatest ice peddler or the Nation’s most fa-

mous foot ball player, is no reason that he would be even a fair movie actor. In the first picture that I saw Grange in I told you at the time that “Red” didn’t play enough football. In this picture “Red” doesn’t even touch a football, but he pilots a big racing car to victory. Movie acting is not the stronghold of Red Grange and

Red Grange

probably never will be. In this story the director has given Grange a story well within his possibilities as an actor. Much of the picture is concerned with auto racing upon a track and, of course, the picture in its climax rests for glory more upon the mechanical end of the directing staff than the actors. One may question the fact if “Red” actually did all the wild driving. 'That I cannot answer. Grange is a goodlooking human, natural sort of a real man. As such he photographs pretty well. He does not attempt “great” acting or even character impersonation. In that he is wise. Personally, I think he shows up better in “The Racing Romeo” than he did in his first picture. But "Romeo” is more a mechanical movie than a star role. The comedy part of “The Racing Romeo” is furnished by Trixie Friganza and Walter Hiers. “Red” has a comedy scene when he is attempting to dress for his wedding and his new suit doesn’t arrive. He does this scene well. The love element of course is furnished by Grange and Jobyna Ralston. Connie and his band Is again playing. The soloist is Jimmy Hatton. Other events. At the Ohio.

WE HAVE ANOTHER IDEA OF "CARMEN” The devil became tired oi commonplace things and wanted imbued in one being the heart of a child, the body of a wanton and the soul of a woman. That being was Carmencita. The cards showed that she would fall in love with a giant of a man who would be very rich and give her everything that her heart could desire. But he spurned her and treated her a pest, but finally he loved her. Dolores Del Rio

plays Carmen as the vivacious girl of the cigar factory who goes after what she wants. And she wants Escamillo, the bull fighter. As the carefree girl of the cigar factory and the gypsy camp she takes the love of all and returns none. With her flashing eyes she has the whole police’ force of the town after her. 1

Dolores Del Rio

Jose (Don Alvarado) is the young member of the police force who falls madly in love with Carmen, and is the cause of her death. As an infatuated lover he is perfect. So madly in love with her is Jose that he commits murder and treason for her sake. And she snubs him. Victor McLaglen, of “What Price Glory” fame, is Escamillo, the bull fighter. It is he who throws her to the sand, and it is he who tells her

To the Editor: An open letter to the Rev. J. A. Long, pastor North Park Christian Church. In the face of the grave questions which are before a startled and dazed citizenry, at the present time and in keeping with a cause and certain men whom you are apparently championing. I ask you openly through the Press to answer the following twelve questions: 1. Does the present political controversy embrace religious questions of any kind? 2. Do you believe in. and uphold American Courts of Justice? 3. Do you believe that Mayor Duvall was given a fair trial, by an unprejudiced and unbiased Jury? 4. Is a Protestant Klansman a better Protestant and Christian, than a non-Klansman who is also a ProtestanJ? 5. Do you believe that public opinion favors the mayor in his desire to keep his wife and himself in office? 6. Do you believe that hand bills of the type that were recently distributed disclose the truth? 7. If an organization political or otherwise is instrumental in driving people from Christianity, Instead of expounding the beauties of Christianity do you believe such an organiaztion to be representative of Christianity? 8. Can a member of the clergy follow his calling conscientiously, and be a member of the K. K. K.? 9. Do you believe in a free press, and in free speech? 10. Do you believe that the bringing of United States Senator Thomas E. Heflin of Alabama, to Indianapolis at this time wise? 11. You say that the mayor was framed; will you say that you know this to be the truth beyond all reasonable doubt? 12. Do you believe the policy of the Indianapolis Times to be detrimental to the best Interests and welfare of Indianapolis? Sincerely. DANIEL A. ROSOFF.

To the Editor of The Times: Some philanthropic and benevolent individual could, right now, do John L. Duvall a signal favor by rescuing him from his friends. His voiced declaration that he will "stump” the city and convince the voters that he is a very much per_ secuted man. and that he is entitled to their confidence, shows him suffering a hallucination that is pitiable in the extreme. Doubtless this ill-conceived gesture has been wished upon him by friends (?) whose daily income Is dependent on contact with the city pay roll. There is not a voting preeinct in * the c;ty in which a respectable sized audience could be mustered that would be in a frame of mind to give him respectful consideration to any of commiseration and commission. From the street urchin to the Naopleons of finance and industry, people in all walks of life regard him as a man who has been "weighed and found wanting.” His present status is aptly stated by a well-known passage from Bobby Burns: "Oh! wad some power the gif tie gi’e us, To see ourselves as other see us; It wad frae many a blunder free us. And polish nation.” E. O. P. McCaslin. 5901 Dewey Ave., Indianapolis. To the Editor: Have been taking "Times” number of years, but now quit. You never print the truth abou| anything.

she is a pest, and it also is he who buys her as many bracelets as she can lift. He is the rough, bighearted idol of all Spain. While not commonly presented in the opera the cigar factory fight is an integral part of the development of the character of Carmen. In this fight the wantonness of the girl is shown. Carmen and the girl who worked by her side are always quarreling and finally come to blows. Much hair is pulled and clothes torn to pieces. She shows that she is a wildcat and sweeps all opposition before her. And then the captain of the police falls before her wiles. The vamp of today had nothing on Carmen. In fact, she knew little more than they do today. But the soul of the woman finally triumphed, and when she had been stabbed by Jose and was lying on the promenade of the bull ring she bids the young man save his life by fleeing, and she smiles, for she knew that the bad luck signs she had seen that morning could not hurt Escamillo, who had now triumphed over another bull. “The Loves of Carmen” follows closely the opera, “Carmen,” and is not a jazzed up product. It has the same fire and virility that it had years ago and the performance of Delores Del Rio, Victor McLaglen, and Don Alvaro in the movie version chow great strength. On the stage is “The Fiesta’ with Barr-Willey-Shell, Anthony Noreca and Evelyn Wysong. The Circle Concert Orchestra plays “Stfg della” as the overture. Comedies and news reels complete the program.
