THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Addition of Adams Adds Strength to Infield of Bushmen. GRIMES NEW HURLER Team Still Lacks Good Southpaw Pitcher. P.n l nilrd Press PITTSBURGH, Feb. 21.—Another nine as good or better than the one which won the National League pennant last year will take the field on April 11, Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh Pirates, said in speaking of his 1928 club today. The Pirate owner, usually reluctant to speak of the club's pennant possibilities, feels confident that Manager Ownie Bush will pilot a better team during the coming season than he did last year. And a non-partisan by-stander might view the 1928 Pirates much in the same manner. Winter trading has strengthened the Pirates. Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler, outfielder who was kept on the bench most of last season because of his feud with club bosses, was traded to the Cubs for Earl <Sparky) Adams, second baseman and Floyd Scott, outfielder. The Pirates needed a second baseman, and thej got him in Adams. They did not need Cuyler; they won the pennant last year without him. Scott, a mediocre outfielder, may be used as a catcher. The Pirates engineered a lastminute trade with Giants, exchanging Vic Aldridge, pitcher, for Burleigh Grimes, pitcher. Grimes won nineteen games and lost eight last year and is expected to bolster the pitching staff. Old faces will spot the infield along with Adams. Third base will find the dependable “Pie" Traynor and Shortstop Glenn Wright, both oustanding players in their respective positions. George Grantham and Joe Harris will handle first base. The Waner brothers. Paul and Lloyd, stand head and shoulders above the mob in the outfield. A running mate for them in left will be chosen from Scott, Adam Comorosky, Fred Brickell and Clyde L. Barnhart, the veteran. John Gooch and Earl Smith, veteran catchers, will bear the brunt of the curves and fast ones. Their batting last season fell far below par which hurt their value as regulars. They will be supported by two recruits from the minors, Ralston Hemsley and Clpude Linton. Scott also may be used. Ray Kremcr, Carmen Hill and John Miljus and Burleigh Grimes probably will take the leading roles on the mound for the Pirates. Lee Meadows probably will be used as relief hurler chiefly. Joe Dawson is expected to show improvement over last year, when he had such bad luck. Pittsburgh must depend on rookies for left-handed pitching in the coming championship race. Fred Fussell, George Peery and Lester Bartholomew are the southpaws. Right handed rookies are Ervin Brame, James Lindsey. Lee Mnhaffey, Glen Spencer. Walter Tauscher and Charles Walsh.

JESSEL BRINGS HIS MINT TO THIS TOWN ts Star Tells Audience That He Has Played *Jazz Singer’ Hole More Than a Thousand Times on the Stage; Will Soon Have New Show. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN George Jessel, after trouping about three years in “The Jazz Singer,” finally landed in Indianapolis last night. We had “The Jazz Singer” in movic-Vitaphone form prior to the coming of Jessell to this town. “The Jazz Singer” has been a regular mint for Jessel, and bis emotional work in this play of both laughs and tears has made him one of the more promising of the young stars. 1 know
that you are going to ask me right off the bat whether Jolson is better than Jessel. Jolson is a “mammy” singer and and he would not, in my opinion, have registered in the movie version of this play if he had not had
the use of Vitaphone. Jessel is an acting star who has a voice that fits in with the small demand made by the author cf the spoken drama. You recall that I told you about “The Jazz Singer" last season when I saw it in Cincinnati w i t h Jessel. At that time I told you that it was effective theater, done
George Jessel
with feeling by Jessel. I still have that opinion. Since then I have seen and heard Jolson in the movieVitaphone version. You recall that I recommended Jolson in the movie version as a splendid form of entertainment. Both artists are supreme in their own fields. Both have different conceptions of the role. Jolson relies upopnp his voice to put over the role. Jessel stakes all on his ability both as a comedian and as an emotional actor. Jessel is completing; about the end of his tour with "The Jazz Singer." In a curtain talk last night he said that he has played the role more than a thousand times and that he is getting ready for anew show. I know that most people are going to compare Jessel and Jolson in the role. Let it be remembered that “The Jazz Singer” is Jessel's “baby.” because he created the role on the stage. And this play has been a regular mint for Jessel. Have always considered that the value of this show rests in the fact that it gives Jessel a human comedy opportunity and at the same time a powerful emotional and dramatic chance. He is a clevei comedian and it was only necessary last night to notice the large number of people crying to observe that
Verdict of Stage Events LYRlC—Frederick V. Bowers presents his Palias Royal Revue and Harry Shannon's orchestra. This is a good revue enhanced by by the band. KEITH'S—The main stay of (he bill is Dorothy Byton and company in a dance revue and a return to Indianapolis of Dixon and Holer’s act “The Wall Street Girl." ENGLISH’S—George Jessel gives us a chance to see "The Jazz Singer” before taking it off tour. Powerful comedy and emotional theater. MUTUAL —“The Bowery Burlesquers” is a very weak show with Hattie Beall trying to introduce the night club effect on the stage.

he is a powerful emotional actor. Besides Jessel the only outstanding member of the cast is Sam Jaffe as Yudelson. Here is impressive, strict character work done in a legitimate way. “The Jazz Singer” is on view tonight, Wednesday matinee and night at English’s. a st a GOOD REVUE NOW AT THE LYRIC Frederick V. Bowers presents his Palais Royal Revue and Karrv Shannon’s Orchestra in one act that embodied singing, dancing and “gag stuff." To open the act, the orchestra files down the aisle playing a catchy tune and goes on the stage. The main part of the act is the orchestra. which plays all the accompaniments to the dances and songs, as well as several novelty numbers. It is an exceptionally good band. Maxwell Carew seems to be the loading light as he gives several impersonations. His best was a burlesque on an Englishman. He gets rather tiresome after a while. The Six Tuller Girls give the presentation a touch of the revue with several chorus numbers. There are well matched and well trained girls. Bowers himself sits down to the piano and sings several pieces, one of which he says he wrote. This man is a real showman, although he acts mostly in the role of master of ceremonies. The Cole Brothers have some snappy songs and a hard shoe dance that is good. Edna Esmeralda is a solo dancer, as is Ivan Lenoff. a Russian dancer. All in all, this is an especially good revue. Ray Fern and Marie have a real hokum act. They do a burlesque on a minstrel show, the two acting evidently as the end men, although the impersonaltion melts away into something else. Then there is a burlesque on the war of 1776. I must confess that I got a real kick out of some of the comedy cf these folks. It is real pre-war stuff. Talbert and Fisher are substituted for Hilton and Hughes. But the substitute act is good, with some comedy songs. These two men dress
as sailors, just why I have not been able to figure out, but they have pretty good voices and some good songs. The Herbert Bolt Trio is an acrobatic act; most of their stunts are done in slow motion. There is a woman in the act that is a contortionist of some quality ar.d helps make the last part of the act very difficult to perform. At the Lyric this week. (By C. S. Garrison.) a a a NEW POLICY NOW AT KEITH’S Dorothy By ton and company have a snappy little dance act with a chorus of six girls who arc well
trained. The chorus also does some toe dancing that is not at all bad. The main feature of the act is a Colonial number with Miss By ton as the central figure in an enormous hoop skirt. The six girls hold the. skirt and all do a toe dance number that is beautiful. As an encore tc this number Miss Byton does the
>
Dorothy Byton
Black Bottom while dancing on her toes. The chorus assists her in the latter part of the number. I have told you before of Cliff Dixon and Tom Hoier and their comedy skit, “The Wall Street Girl.” This is a take-off on “Big Business." It is the story of a young man in love trying to win the favor of the father of the girl by putting up a bluff of being a Wall Street broker although he is broke. It is good stuff. The Two Daveys have comedy juggling act that is nothing but hokum, but it is a wow. It struck me particularly funny, as I have rarely heard a juggler with the line of patter that this man had. It’s all clean and he knows how to put it over. “Now and Then,” the skit of Joe McGrath and Elsie Travers, tries to show how the man of today will compare with the man of seventy years from now. There is some singing and a little dancing and a lot of fun. Bcbby Randell tries to do a lot of fast talking and be funny at the same time, and the combination was rather pitiful. There were spots that were good. Especially his musical conception of Kipling’s poem, "Boots, Boots, Boots.” This, in my opinion, was the oly thing in the act that was worth whiles “On to Reno,” with Marie Prevost in the leading role, is the feature movie for the first half of the week. At Keith's today and tomorrow. (By the Observer.) a a a CONCERNING NEW MUTUAL SHOW The show at the Mutual this week is rather under par. “The Bowery Burlesquers” seems to have the stuff for a pretty fair show, but there is lacking something. Morris Perry is the Jewish

COMMITTEE TO HEAR EVIDENCE IN SLACK CASE Koehring Charges Will Be Considered at Special Meeting. Millard W. Ferguson. Democrat, chairman of the committee investigating charges against Mayor Slack, Police Chief Claude M. Worley and board of safety members, today planned a special committee meeting to hear evidence. Council President Otis E. Bartholomew referred the charge of Charles Koehring, south side merchant, that the defendants caused arrest of innocent persons in the police gambling war, to the special committee, composed of Ferguson, four Republicans, and two other Democrats. Council can vote to impeach the city officials if the charges are found sufficient, the statute provides. Ferguson nominated Mayor Slack, a Democrat, Nov. 8, when council elected him to the office. “We’ll investigate this in the regular way. Koehring will be called before the committee to present whatever evidence he has in the matter.” Ferguson said. All councilmen except Bartholomew and O. Ray Albertson, Republican, who was absent, are ot* the committee. ‘Koehring was at the council session to witness action on his charges, but did not address the council. He declined to reveal his plans. ’ “I am sorry the charges are not taken seriously,” said Koehring. “I want this committee to handle these charges in an unbiased manner,” Bartholomew said, in naming the committee. comedian, but at times he forgets all about using the dialect and spoils the effect. He and his brother comedian certainly do not lack for pep, but they just don’t click. The main female role is carried by Hattie Beall, but Hattie tries to run her show as if it were a night club and the “give the little girl a great big hand” isn’t as successful as it might be. The show opens with a Bowery scene, the kind you used to read about, but there the name of the show and the performance part company. Would say that this is a fery weak show at the Mutual. (By the Observer.) Other theaters today offer “Serenade” at the Indiana; “Old Ironsides” at the Apollo; “Home Made” at the Ohio, and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" at the Circle.
