LIBRARY ASKS i ENDOWMENT I OMWILLION Tax Funds Fall Far Behind Amount Needed, Assertion of Librarian. Funds from taxation are falling far behind the needs of the Indianapolis public library service, Librarian Charles E. Rush asserted in a statement today, asking publicspirited citizens to consider a proposed $1,245,000 endowment. This sum, Rush says, would bring an annual income of $62,250, sorely needed. In outlining the needs, he points out that an initial $9,000 would be necessary to inaugurate the extension program, by taking care of establishment of basic collections. Pointing out crowded conditions of branch library structures. Rush says buildings could be erected for $45,000 each. He does not include this in the endowment figure. List Services, Collections Among the items and funds listed for endowment, Rush includes the following special book collections and services: Music. $20,000 endowment, bringing an Income of SI,OOO a year; automotive engineering, SIO,OOO endowment, SSOO Income, and $3,000 initial fund to establish collection; maps, $10;000, making a SSOO income; local history, $20,000 endowment, SI,OOO income, and $3,000 initial fund; education for citizenship, $25,000 special fund, drawing $1,250 income; school co-operation service, $200,000 endowment, SIO,OOO income, readable books for post-school children, SIOO,OOO endowment, $5,000 in-*-come; Indiana writers’ collections, SIO,OOO endowment, SSOO endowment. Other special fields listed by Rush and included in the round sum for endowment would require expenditures ranging from SSOO to $3,000.

Special Fields Listed Among the mare illustrated editions of children’s books; standard and fine editions of classics and belle lettres; furniture ancf interimdecoration; art and illustrative methods; architecture; research facilities in print on modern city government and civic improvement; extension of service to hospital patients; fine working library on typrography and printing; completion of large poetry, drama and biography collections; acquisition of files of journals and periodicals to complete much desired sets of industrial and historical literature; provision of discussion group leaders for those engaged in self-educa-tion; collection of original manuscripts of great historical importance and literary value for reference and display. A public lecture course in cultural subjects is recommended, needing SIOO,OOO endowment, making $5,000 annual income; book collections for factories, $40,000 endowment, $2,000 income; adult education, $200,0C0 endowment, SIO,OOO income; pictorial decorations for children’s room, etchings and the like for Central library, SIO,OOO endowment, SSOO income; educational fund, $300,000 endowment, $15,000 income; book wagon, $3,000 initial fund, $40,000 endowment, $2,000 income.

TWO BIG OVATIONS GIVEN IN ‘CARMEN’ Thunder of Applause Causes Martino Rossi to Repeat ‘Toreador Song’ at English’s Last Night in Bizet’s Opera. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Two big ovations were accorded singers with the New York Grand Opera Company last night at English’s during ‘ * Carmen. ” , To Martino Rossi by singing the Toreador Song falls the credit of receiving the biggest personal ovation of the opera season here so far.

He put so much zest, power and throbbing beauty into this number that the audience gaVe him such a storm of applause that Michael Feveisky, conductor, signaled for the orchestra to repeat the number. And its repetition resulted in Rossi bringing back the same beauty and power that he did on first singing the number. This is the first time that a singer this week has been forced to repeat a number. This one number was the high light of the work of Rossi in tills opera. The other big ovation came to Luis Ibarguan as Don Jose, a brigadier, in the second act when he sang of his love to Carmen. Ibarguan made a tremendous impression Tuesday night in “Cavallerid” and much was expected last night. He seems to get deep into the heart of the characters he sings. In other words he can act with fine nervous energy, always keeping the purity of voice. When I consider the Carmen of Eunice Harper the problem before me is a serious one. I have seen many Carmens and it seems to me that there are as many different Carmens as there are brands of sardines. The Carmen of Miss Harper lacked many, many things from the acting standpoint. Up until the last act, she failed to dress Carmen as she should be dressed. Carmen, to me, is not a cabaret entertainer. She is a wild cat, a working girl in a fp-fnrv. She fights women and she taunts any man of her fancy. She is a Spanish gold digger in her own way and she never c.ass until she becomes the companion of the bull fighter. Up to that time Carmen is a superstitious girl. She reads the cards, but does not heed the warning of sudden death. Carmen flaunts her love making in the face of many men. She is around $400,000, Rush declared. Fines add about $9,000 annually. The State Tax Board sliced $29,000 from the proposed budget for next year, he said, which will prohibit much-needed repairs and extensions.

sort of a stool pigeon for a gang of smugglers and she causes Don Jose to give up his duties as a brigadier and become a smuggler. Carmen is a wild creature, savage and selfish at heart, according to my ■idea of the role. I have seen Carmen as Farrar does it as well as many other brands, but the best Carmen, along realistic lines, is that of the Russians who came over with their idea of Carmen under another name. Miss Harper lacks a careful understanding of the many changes in the mood and the development of Carmen. She is all wrong, my idea, in regards to Carmen from the acting side. As to voice? Splendid. Wednesday afternoon, the New York Grand Opera Company presented “Faust” and I think it takes first position from all round production standpoint. The chorus was never better and the principals were about evenly matched. Miguel Santacana made a powerful Mephisto both as to voice and acting. He knows this role and was able to put over every scene with consummate artistry. Maryla Granowska was a beautiful Marguerite when love came into her life and a real sad one when she sinned. Splendid voice and good understanding of the dramatics of the part. Salvatore Sciarret.tl makes a singing part out of Faust. He was impressive as the elderly Faust. He was more animated as the younger Faust than as Radames in “Aida.” It is the voice of this man that puts him across so securely. Elizabeth Hoeppel was the Siebel, nice work. Tonight at English's. Verdi’s “La Forza Del Destino” will be given with Emilia Vergeri, dramatic soprano, who made such a tremendous impression in “Cavalleria,” heading the cast. “EVERYMAN” IS GIVEN AT BUTLER “Everyman,” a morality play, was presented last night at Butler College by Thespis under the direction of Mrs. Eugene Fist. Those taking part were Arlo Kilpatrick, Donald Higgins, Vo'ney Hampton, J. Parker Wheatley,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

George Weiser, Ruth Agnew, Mark Ashley, David Clarke, Helen Castland, Martha Cowdy, Hamilton Clarke, Esther Durbin, Virginia Bailey, Helen Dennard, Ruth Ben jfiel and Nola Leet. The story is of Everyman, who represents any person, being called before liis Maker to give account of himself. On his journey he wants his friends, but they desert him. All but his Good Deeds. The messenger appears and reads the prologue, telling what is to happen. Then God sends Death to find Everyman, who comes from the back of the auditorium as do his Kindred and Cousin and Fellowship. Goods, Good Deeds, Knowledge, Confession, Beauty, Strength, Discretion and the Five Wits appear as he calls them. Tire Angel who bids him enter God's presence appears high above the scenes. J. Parker Wheatley is Everyman and does fine work. The part of Goods, taken by David Clarke, while a minor one is splendidly done. Clarke has an excellent speaking voice. Volney Hampton has a most difficult part as Death. He speaks his role in words that are halting and broken. A men’s chorus, behind the scene, at intervals, intone chants in Latin. This lends a spiritual atmosphere to the presentation. There is but one act to the play and the stage is set when the audience iarrives. The auditorium is filled with incense and candles burn throughout the performance. The costumes of the players and the setting were made at the university and were well done. They .vere perfect historically and had the color that the play was noted to have. (By Observer.) - Other theaters today offer: “Two Arabian Knights” at the Indiana; “The Irresistible Lover” at the Ohio: “The Gay Defender” at the Apollo; “East Side, West Side” at the Circle; “Amy of the Circus” at the Colonial; “Moonlight Maids” at the Mutual; Jim McWilliams at Keith’s; Parisian Red Heads at the Lyric and anew movie bill at the Isis.

FORT MAY GET NEW BARRACKS $300,000 for Harrison to Be Included in Bill. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—An item of at least $300,000 will be included for construction of barracks at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in the army housing authorization bill soon to be introduced in Congress, according to Representative James of Michigan, chairman of the appropriations sub-committee on military affairs. James, who toured the United States and Hawaii inspecting army housing last summer, expects to ask a bill which will authorize use of at least $11,000,000. Once this bill is passed, the Indiana Senators and Congressmen should be able to get quick action on actual appropriation of the money, he said. The $300,000 will be sufficient to

start construction of the most sorely needed barracks, James said. Senator Robinson of Indiana asked for $715,000, but James said he does not believe an item of that size could be pushed through Congress in view of the bad housing conditions virtually everywhere. The permanent program, he said, embraces barracks for 814 men, homes for twenty-one officers, sixteen noncommissioned officers, a forty-seven-bed post hospital, and a dormitory for eight nurses.
