PARENTS CLING T 9 HOPES FOR VANISHED GIRL Search Continued, Without Single Clew to Fate Being Found. By United Press NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Jan. 24. —A blind hope that their daughter Frances disappeared from Smith College because she sought privacy and quiet kept up the falling spirits of Mr. and Mrs. St. John Smith today. The girl has been missing eleven days without leaving a trace. Searches have extended over every section of the East. A reward of SIO,OOO has been offered. The family and Governor A1 Smith have broadcast letters to the girl. “I have only a desperate hope that she is safe somewhere and will let us know,” the father said today. The parents came to Northampton shortly after the girl’s disappearance was made known. They have helped direct State police in the search. v Both have held up well under the strain. Smith, a well-known New York broker, scouted reports from Washington that his daughter had been seen there and identified because of initialed baggage she carried. “I know that Frances bad no initialed luggage,” the father said. The increased force of State police, brought here shortly after the girl’s disappearance was made known, probably will be diminished somewhat, immediately. A 20-mile area about the school has been searched by State police and there was little indication that further searches in this territory would be of avail. Extend Hunt to Chicago Bn United Press / CHICAGO, Jan. 24.—Chicago policy searched apartments and rooming houses on the south side today, seeking trace of Miss Frances St. John Smith, missing Smith College student. Inspector Leahy of the New York police notified Chicago police last night that the -missing girl might be found “with a woman in apartments 15 and 16 at 115 W. Eighteenth St.” Only a vacant lot was found at that address, but the search continued.

SAYS THE ACTION OF THIS KONJOLA WAS SURPRISING This New Medicine Banished Constipation and Cleansed His Whole System. "I’ve been helped so much by this Konjola that I can’t help talking about it and praising it to people who are suffering,” said Mr. H. Hockersmith, a well-known Indianapolis citizen, living at 1636 Bellefontaine St., this city, while talking

MR. 11. HOCKERSMITH

a few days ago with The Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Stor6, Illinois and Washington Sts., where crowds are calling daily to find out for themselves about this surprising new Konjola compound. “The action of Konjola was surprising in my case,” continued Mr. Hockersmith, it cleansed my whole system and built me up in so many ways that I am feeling better than I have for the past five or six years.” “My main trouble had been constipation, from which I suffered for twenty years, and I am stating the facts when I tell you that Konjola proved to be just what I had needed to banish the poisons which caused my whole system to be upset for years.

“My stomach was also giving me a lot of trouble, and I could hardly find a thing to eat which would agree with me. My food would sour, ferment and bloat me so that I felt stuffed up and sometimes had a hot, feverish sensation frgm my throat to the pit of my stomach. Frequent headaches and bilious attacks would overcome me, and besides, I very seldom got a decent night’s rest. In the mornings I •would get up feeling like I was all beaten down. Finally, all these miseries sapped my strength so that my health was a complete wreck. “As soon as I found out that this Konjola was made up of juices from plants, such as roots, .herbs, etc., I decided to try it, and now that I have taken a course of this medicine I can say with confidence that my constipation is ended, my stomach is again working in the best condition and I am feeling better in every way. Yes, the action of Konjola certainly surprised me, as I didn’t expect such quick relief from all my health troubles and I am glad to indorse this medicine to the public.” The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold by every Hook store in this city and by all druggists throughout this section. — Advertisement.

FAMILY LIFE IS’A RIOT IN ‘TOMMY’ William Janney Will Bring Back to Many People a Fine Memory of the Beloved Gregory Kelly as He Was Known on the Stage. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN ‘‘Tommy” is filled with as'many theatrical tricks, quarrels and yells as a leopard has spots. But “Tommy” is fine fun in the theater. It brings one back to the days when the theater was theater because it was theater. There is no pretense to this little play, maybe a sort of a twin to “Kempy,” and the other monkey wrench yells of stage, but it is fun and even truth that you and all of us will recog-

nize be.cause it is our language. It is the language of everyday tragedy done in the tempo of a laugh. This little yarn of a

play really holds up the mirror to married life. All overdrawn, but the truth is there reflected in the mirror of theatrical fun. The proof of the dish was demonstrated last night when the play and the cast obtained one laugh after another. I became so wild with the fun that I found myself yelling and slap-

ping my own knee, my right one. It is plays like “Tommy” that brings us back to the Main Street theater. Here is, universal fun because life is just Main Street, whether you ride in the highest priced auto or use a buss. Main Street is just around the corner.

Here is a sweet play done in all the bitter intensity of the theater. Here is just a family group—the Thurßers, with Mrs. Thurber’s brother, David Tuttle, living under the same roof. “Uncle” Dave is a politician who might be versed in a certain political system that may exist in Siam or some other place outside of the boundary of Indiana. Anyway the audience yelled and applauded when Uncle Dave showed his fine hand in selling the Thurber land for public improvement. But Uycle Dave was equally successful in straightening out the tangled front room and front porch love affairs of Marie Thurber. The way he does it is a scream. That is enough of the story of “Tommy.” Tommy’s rival is Bernard, a nice boy who made an enemy of Uncle Dave when Bernard did not understand Lincoln—then the affair became a private matter. (Have told you enough of the story to make you want to see it.) I am sure that you will find in the Tommy of William Janney a beautiful memory of Gregory Kelly in “Seventeen.” And that I am sure is enough to compensate anyone in seeing “Tommy.”- Janney is a lad who yields naturally and intelligently "dumb” (meaning the part he plays) to the demands of the theater. Here is real freshness in acting. Splendid. And Sidney Toler as David Tuttle knows he has wow lines and he delivers them in the best theatrical style. You will enjoy the sweetness of Regina Brown as Marie Thurber. And you will pass out with the Dr Thurber of Lloyd Neal. Here is nth degree theater, but what theater on the part of Neal. The cast is as follows. e arJ hU . rber . .V.V.V.V.— Re l', n af 1 & - Florence 1 Walcott You will love "Tommy” and you

At English’s today and Wednesday. nun ANN MAKES A HIT WITH THE OBSERVER This Ann Codee is a marvelous person, she is very, very clever and a comedienne in a subtle sort off way. She absolutely dominates.her audience. ' I am raving over this woman who has brought to Indianapolis some

comedy of anew kind. It has been said that there is nothing new, but Ann Codee can safely say that she has done the impossible and presents here the results. She has an act in which she sings some French song:* and then translates them into English. She also ends the bill with

Ann Codee

a “surprise.” This is a lot of things. This something new that I have been talking about is a scene in a graveyard and has a high comedy percentage. Then Miss Codee does a scene that she says she saw in an Apache place in Paris. It is all done in French, so that none of the effect is lost, but so great is the dramatic value that it needs no interpretation. Florence Vernon and Company are connected in some way with Miss Codee. Miss Vernon is a dancer of some talent and she is assisted by Jack Deakin and Billy Byron in a skit that they present. There is another fellow who clowns through his act and is with Miss Codee. # "The Four of Us,” a quartette, do some yodeling and songs of the old time kind. They also put words to one of the better known of Rigolette songs. They also help out in Miss Codee’s acts and play the part of some of the dead persons and are in the case scene. That is why I say that Miss Codee is a marvelous woman. On the same bill are Eileen and Marjorie who have some new ideas to put forth in regards to tumbling. These two young ladies do most of the turns on their heads and have some novelty falls that are quite amusing. Avery good bill at Keith’s. (By the Observer.) nan NICE ARE SISTERS, THESE CRISP SISTERS You know that I hate “sister” acts as such, but I admit that I throw away the challenge and admit that the Crisp Sisters know their stage. There generally is so much of that awful sweet sickness to such acts

that it becomes unbearable, but the Crisp Sisters are different because they have dancing ability, real duo dancing ability. They do not sing nor do they attempt it. They know how to wear clothes, look not too sweet and then do some more dancing. Their wooden shoe soldier number is done in true artis-

try, no sugar smiles here, just real dancing and the spirit of the fun in dancing. The two men with the act sing and dance. A woman presides at the piano. Here is an act of pleasing headline quality. Russell and Wynne Sisters open in a burlesque on a balancing act with two members of the team going into a scream of a burlesque on the classical ballet dance. Evelyn Vee and Jack Quinlan have the aid of an old man on a park bench who indulge in human fun. This part of the act is good. Carol and James have broad burlesque chatter, sometimes too 'broad. Bobby Van Horn dresses up like a man graduate and talks wise and loud. He knows how to deliver his material to get-ap-plause. The Royal Sutcliffe Family are back with their bagpipes. The bill includes movies. At the Lyric. it tr it LOOKING OVER FAST BURLESQUE “The Girls From the Follies” is billed as the fastest burlesque show on the circuit. I believe it. In fact

LENGEL TRIAL . BOON TO TOWN Ohio City Dresses Up for Murder Drama. B.y United Press LISBON, Ohio, Jan. 24.—'This Columbiana County town next month will furnish the background on which will be painted the last scene of the now famous Don R. Mellett murder case. Scorned by her sister cities of East Liverpool and Wellsville, because of her old fashioned serenity and failure to keep apace with the times, Lisbond soon may atttract national attention as prosecutors and defense lawyers fight over the guilt or innocence of former Police Chief Seranus A. Lengel of Canton as one of the murderers of the former Canton editor. _ z; Now, after many yearg"of this quiet and nonchalance, Lisbon is dusting the doorknobs and putting out the welcome sign. Decision to hold the new Lengel trial here came when Common Pleas Judge Edwin W. Diehl of Canton allowed the former police chief’s motion for a change of venue after the Ohio Supreme Court granted him anew trial by overruling the conviction of the Stark County Common Pleas Court. Judge Frank L. Jones, Wellsville, is expected to preside. The case will be prosecuted by Henry W. Harter, Stark County prosecuting attorney. ASSERTS SHAKESPEARE NEVER SAW A HEBREW Terre Haute Rabbi Criticises Portrayal of Shylock Character. By Times Special , TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 24. William Shakespeare never saw a Jew in his life, and for that reason was not qualified to portray the character of Shylock In “The Merchant of Venice,” Rabbi J. Marshall Taxay declared in an address at Temple Israel here. There were no Jews In Great Britain .until half a century after Shakespeare died, the rabbi asserted, concluding with this statement: "Having no facts before him, the poet was free to revel in the slanders and prejudices of the age. How easy it is to traduce and defame people one has never met.” HOOSIER WILL LECTURE* George W. Purcell, Bloomington Editor, on Northwestern U. List. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 24. George W.

Ind., Jan. 24. Orville Mattox v/as assessed a fine of $25 and costs in Vigo Circuit Court for “beating up” Sarah Hollingsworth. He said she had gossiped about him. it is so fast that it is nearly impossible to distinguish the words of the songs. The redeeming feature* to it is the action is swift and that is something. Gladys Clarke is nearly tHe whole show. She is a very versatile young woman playing musical instruments and singing and many other things. She instills some art by doing a classical dance and having the chorus in some poses that border on the classical. This show is rim somewhat differehtly than most of its ilk, having all the leads, that is the women, on the stage at the same time. Not just once, but in nearly every ensemble do they lead the chorus. Fred Bender is chief among the comedians and although he gets into the risque more than once, the show is clean. At least when I saw it. This is good burlesque. At the Mutual. (By the observer.) it tt tt Other theaters today offer: Mae Murray at the Indiana; “Grandma’s Boy” at the Apollo; "Seventh Heaven” at the Circle, and "Sharp Shooters” at the Ohio.

On the other was Dr. Honorio Puerreydon, Argentine ambassador, asking a reduction of trade barriers and customs duties among the nations. Hughes’ speech was directed toward the Mexican proposal for revision of the Pan-American Union.
