LOUIS LIJOLOW ANNOUNCES FOB CONGRESS RACE Believes Long Experience in Press Gallery Aid in Serving People. Because he feels that he can use his long experience in the Washington press gallery to F-erve the people of Indianapolis to advantage, Louis Ludlow, former Indianapolis newspaper man and veteran Washington correspondent, today officially announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Seventh District. Ludlow sent a statement of his candidacy to Boyd M. Ralston, who had joined with other Indianapolis Democrats, in requesting Ludlow to make the race. Ludlow first was mentioned as a possible candidate after publication of his book “Spiffledink,” a satire on the hedging politician who forever puts opportunity for political security above honest principles. He has the backing of Thomas Taggart, who has declared that he will interest himself in the Ludlow campaign for Congress and the Woollen campaign for President. Deplores Corruption The newspaper man was one of the speakers at the recent Democratic Editorial meeting here. Ludlow's letter to Ralston reads In part as follows: "I have your letter in regard to the Seventh district congressional nomination and I thank you very kindly for the expressions of confidence therein contained. “I have had scores of other letters from citizens of Indianapolis and Marion County, inviting me to present myself as a candidate for Congress and whole-heartedly pledging their support to me. For all of these I am deeply grateful. "It is indeed, most deplorable and, to my mind, one of the saddest stories of modern times, that a splendid city like Indianapolis, the capital of a great State, with citizenship that deserves the very best, should be dragged down, as Indianapolis has been in recent years into the quagmire of official degeneracy and political corruption.” Pledge of Honesty He then related his attachment to this city, where he came from Fayette County when 18 and was long engaged in newspaper work before j going to Washington and closed as ! follows: "Answering your- good letter, and : also the letters cf the great number : who have written to me in similar vein. I now state that I will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Seventh Indiana district and I pledge myself to the principle of honesty in government and absolute sincerity in all public and private relations. IVhat the State of Indiana needs in its public sendee is more homespun honesty of the Bluejeans Williams brand; more candor and less camouflage; more sincerity and less spiffledinking.” DELAY BUS FARE CASE Hearing on Petition for Reduction j Is Set for March 8. Postponement on the hearing for the reduction in fare of the People’s Motor Coach Company, set several weeks ago for March 1, to March 8 has been announced by Howell Ellis, Public Service commissioner. Due to the absence of Robert I. Todd, president of the coach company and the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, the case has been set back upon representations by attorneys that Todd desires to attend the hearing. The petition was filed by Joseph Schaub Jr. and fourteen other patrons of the coach company. Normal Plans Travel Courses By Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 24.

SICK WOMAN SOON RECOVERS By Taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound *'A neighbor advised me to try E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound, which she said helped her so much. So I bought a few bottles and tried it out. It sure helped me wonderfully. I felt much better. My work is no longer a dread to me. If I hear of any one who is troubled
t Li
the way I was, I will gladly recommend the Vegetable Compound to them and I will answer any letters in regard to the same.”—Mrs. Bertha Meachan, 1134 N. Penn. Ave., Lansing, Mich. “‘I had been sickly every since I was fifteen years old. After taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound 1 got so I could do all ray housework and 1 am in good health.”—Mrs. Marie K. Williams, Ketchikan. Alaska. From Michigan to Alaska, from 'Maine to Oregon and from Connecticut to California letters are continually being written by grateful women recommending Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. The Compound is made from roots and herbs and has been In use for over fifty years. —Advertisement.
ETHEL WATERS IS HIT OF HER REVUE The Colored Star and a Dancing Male Chorus Is About All There Is to Earl Dancer’s ‘Africana,’ Now at English’s for Short Stay. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Ethel "Waters and a male dancing chorus are the really only two big hits in “Africana,” a colored -revue by Earl Dancer. It is niv opinion that “Africana” is not in the class of “Shuffle Along” when it was first new. “Africana” is not a heavy show from a scenic standpoint and when it is all said and done it is Miss Waters who makes
the show. Here is a colored singer who is about the last word among her people in stage business. She knows the soul of a song and can put that dark blue double meaning in an artistic way in a daddy song that makes one laugh with the blues fever. We first see her doing her “Weary Feet” number. Here is real artistry of song because she does not have fine clothes to aid her, but just the human quality of her song. She is at her best while singing many of the numbers which helped to make her famous on the phnongraph. One feels the throb of pathos while she sings "Smiles.” Here is a number with a soul. Well done. When it comes to dancing she has her own little tricks of movements. And yet at no time last night did I approach the shouting stage. She admitted that she was suffering with a cold. And yet she is a unique artist, probably the most commanding of her race at the present time. It is the second act that makes this show. It is in this act that Miss Waters does her best work. This act also has the service of the Africana Bell Hops. These lads are hot dancers. They stop the show and should. The best I have seen in fancy step dancing for several seasons. There are only two sketches in this revue, one in each act. The first one has its moments. The better sketch is "Jedgment Day” and it is given a violent ending that is a surprise. The ending is modern burlesque. Paul Carter is the main comedian with the show. Carter is a wonder while singing "I'm Satisfied.” He reminds one with pleasure of the late Bert Williams. The girls in the chorus are not great dancers and they attempt no complicated formations or steps. They are used mostly for background. Os course the orchestra is a peach and the woman cornet player can stop the show any time she pleases. The orchestra is dark and warm.

Good band this. Walter Richardson is the chief male singer. At English’s today and Saturday. THE OBSERVER IS VERY FOND OF SARAH I have seen a lot of hokem acts, but Jack McLallen makes a fair j bid for the leather medal. Jack is j a very droll sort of person and j seems sort of listless, but he has a line of comedy that is a knockout. With him is "Sarah” who is the butt of many of his jokes and incidently reads some poetry that is killing. Jack is continually worried : about the whereabouts of Sarah. Fred Sanborn, who Is also with j this company, has a different sortj of comedy. He didn't say a word j when I was at the theater, but he | finally plays some tunes on the j xylophone. These three surely have ] a wow act. “Clinging Ivy” is the story of the i small town woman, engaged to a man for twenty years, who went to J the biy city and got some new ideas.! as the conceited small town "guy,' I and Mrs. Jimmie Barrie as “Cling- j ing Ivy.” In the cast is William Richards, who runs the poolroom i and June Grey who takes the “sheik's" eye for a time. Here is personality expressed | through song. Miss Bobby Adams i has a repertoire of songs that ex- ] presses the personality of several : different persons. She has a song about scandal, "as she is told,” that is especially good. Louise Mann | plays her accompaniments and a ; solo of her own. They are both very good. "Southland,” the presentation of Jack Russell and his Piccaninnies, is to me a minstrel danced act. The whole company are dancers of some quality. Russell shows one of j the dances he used to do when he ' was with Eddie Leonard. The novelty of the act is a dance done on a electric plate causing sparks. Very j effective. Julius Schiclitl presents a modem | marionette show. There are several different varieties of these figures. | There is one that does acrobatics j on a rope, seemingly without using ( wires. If wires, or strings, or whatever it is that is used, were present they would have been most hope-
