LETTER DENIES CHARGES MADE IN jAMPAIGN Hoover’s Record Open to Inspection, Associate Flatly Declares. The Times is in receipt of the following letter from a subscriber: “Will you kindly publish if Mr. Hoover received a salary, and if so how much it was, for doing his great humanitarian work of feeding the starving European people with Uncle Sam’s money.’’ The answer is furnished by Dr. Vernon Kellogg, a close associate in Hoover’s European relief work. Before the campaign got under way Dr. Kellogg wrote a magazine article for Outlook, in which he said: "One of the old members of the ‘remission for relief in Belgium’ has told in print the story of the first meeting of the commission at which Hoover said: ‘We are going to receive and expend millions. Some swine, some day, somewhere, may say that we grafted on this money. Therefore, I intend that we shall have such accounting, such checks and balances, such glass pockets, that nobody can ever harbor even a suspicion of our honesty.’ “That ‘swine’ has not yet appeared. Even in the bitter partisanship of political debate no such charge has been made, because financial accountings of all the money handled by all of the Hoover organizations, certified by the world’s greatest auditors, have been published and made available to every one. "Hoover himself has never had a salary for all of his relief work, and even has always paid his own personal expenses.” The national encyclopedia of American biography in its sketch of Hoover, after reviewing his relief activities says: “Mr. Hoover and his colleagues for nine years had been engaged in relief work and in the prevention of famine and pestilence on a scale never before attempted. To perform this services to mankind then abandoned their professional business and pursuits and refused to * accept any - compen setion, not even traveling expenses, being anxious that their humanitarian work should be conducted on a plane that raised it above personal interest or recompense. They themselves even contributed largely to the relief measures they adopted.” FIVE HURT AS RACE AUTO LEAPS TRACK FENCE Two jn Critical Condition After Accident at Ft. Wayne. Ry Times Special FT. WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 15.—Five persons were hurt, two seriously, when a race auto leaped a fence here Sunday afternoon and dashed into a group of spectators. Those most seriously injured are John Roth, 4, fractured skull, and William Scheele, brain concussion. The Roth boy’s father, Arthur Roth, suffered a broken leg, and the car driver, Jimmy Brown, had a lip and his nose cut. An unidentified woman suffered cuts. At the north turn of the track Brown’s car, after leaping the fence, went over one parked auto, but struck another about which those injured were grouped. De Pauw Co-Ed Leader Dies Hu Times Special CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 15. Miss Opal Williams, 20, a leader among women students at De Pauw university, Greencastle, is dead here at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Homer L. Williams, a victim of peritonitis following an appendicitis operation. She was president of the De Pauw Y. W. C. A. and of Delta Zeta sorority.

DAVIS BRINGS ’EM DOWN WITH A TUNE Master of Events at Indiana and His Band Score With a Hot New Tune, ‘ Tain’t So, Honey, Tain’t So.’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT’S the melodies this week at the Indiana that will catch the breeze and they will be whistled all over town. Charlie Davis and his orchestra have a wow in “Taint So, Taint So,” and Dale Young at the pipe organ playing “Half Way to Heaven.” Davis and his orchestra have worked out a corking arrangement for ‘Taint So.” His singers get busy and the result is that Davis and his men bring down the house. This tune is there and so are the lyrics. Davis .s so much the human artist now that he builds up the show until this number is introduced.

He plants this one as a solid hit and the audience loves it. Then he allows on of "the bad boys" of the

orchestra to do some c 1 o wning, pulling the old gag of the collectors coming and taking away the clothes of the “bad boy.” Smacks of burlesque, but it gets the laughs, if not the literary medal of the Theatre Guild for bigger and better drama, if* such a thing exists. But you get my idea. Might as well tell

' fHPI

Richard Dix

you right now that the Indiana is having the biggest stage show of its career. From a scenic standpoint it is a beauty. The dancing chorus is large and behaved splendidly. Well dressed. The finale is a flash, reminding one of the big legitimate stage revues. I did not catch the name of the girl who put over two wow numbers, the one about it being a grand night to spoon and the other a souse number. The last one is a comedy gem and delivered with great skill and artistry. This girl is a wonder. Her comedy and eccentric attack is different. She certainly smaks of the big revue time. Then there is Diszo Retter, the man who wrestles with himself. Corking good turn. Then there are many other principals in the big cast. I like the style of playing that Dale Young is doing on the organ. I like his idea of volume and the mixture of many tunes during the course of his “recital.” The hit number this week is “Half Way to Heaven.” It was composed by Russell Robinson, song writer of this city, who has become famous, and A1 Dubin, writer of the lyrics. Young knows how to get the “moonlight” and the sentiment into the pipe organ. Nice work this week, thus giving this show to big song hits. The feature movie this week is Richard Dix in “Moran of the Marines.” Featured with Dix is Ruth Elder, the woman who took an air flight to Europe and for no reason whatsoever became a movie player. Her easy job is to fly airplane and her most difficult task is to act. There seems to be one sure way to get into the movies—fly to Europe. Asa vehicle for Dix, “Moran of the Marines” gives him a pleasant comedy chance as well as to be the romantic sweetheart. Just light entertainment. Now at the Indiana. a a a THEY CHANGE A STAGE PLAY FOR THE MOVIES When the movie doctors were put on the job of transplanting “The Cardboard Lover” from the stage for the screen, they had to do a lot of operating. The reason for this was that Marion Davies, according to my way

of thinking, had to be the whole works. It is the man in the stage play that actually carries away the comedy - farce honors. It’s a fat part. And so the movie doctors took out all the fat and gave it to Miss Davies by virtually creating a special role for her and thus changing the story all around.

This play is smart dirt. It was done here by the Stuart Walker company this summer at Keith’s. It is not offensive dirt but just a modern story told in high speed. It is wise and very sophisticated. Miss Davies plays her role not in

that spirit. She tries to act cute all the*time while trying to give the impression that she will be “naughty” in just a minute. Nils Asther has the role of the stage version which heaped much of the big scenes upon the shoulders of the character. As this movie now stands, Asther is just a foil for the monkey-shines of Miss Davies. At times, I thought of Topsy as played by one of the Duncan sisters in “Topsy and Eva.” I couldn’t help thinking that Miss Davies might be attempting to do a modern bedroom Topsy in white face. I think the stage: version is much better. Os course be your own judge on this one. If you haven’t seen the stage play, you may get many a laugh out of the way that Miss Davies carries on. The photography is splendid. So are the sets. And Jetta Goudal wears some mighty striking clothes. And she knows how to wear ’em. •This woman knows how to walk before the movie camera. So few really do. The bill includes Metro Movietone vaudeville, a news reel, Lester Huff at the organ and other events. Now at Loew’s Palace. nun JOLSON IS BREAKING RECORDS It is easy for A1 Jolson to stage an all year run on Broadway in a big revue provided that his voice holds out. Jolson is now singing constantly at the Apollo. This is made pos-

sible, of course, by Vitaphone. Last week, the Apollo was not near large enough to accommodate the crowds. Midnight and even morning shows were given, and that did not seem to cause the waiting line of people at this theater to get any smaller. “The Singing Fool,” with Jolson, is breaking all records at this theater. 7*he

people recognize the fact that we have the real singing A1 Jolson in this movie. He is no different in this movie than he is on the stage. Many people have written me as well as telling me personally that

D ora can’t come! Today, and every day, a lot of women count their time to suffer. As regularly as the months come ’round, comes pain that is borne in silence. “It’s Nature,” women say. But it isn’t! Women who have always had the hardest time, have no pain at all from the day they discover Midol. Midcl is the special preparation of specialists, and is not a narcotic. It does nothing to the system. It does stop the pain—in five to seven minutes! So it is only common sense to use it. And it costs just fifty cents, at any drug store in tiny carrying case of aluminum. —Advertisement.

“The Singing Fool” is the best movie entertainment they have ever seen and heard. You know my verdict on this one—Jolson is as great on the screen as on the stage. That means you have the real singing Jolson on the screen by the aid of Vitaphone. “The Singing Fool” is now in its second week at the Apollo. ft a a GOOD ALL-TALKER NOW AT THE CIRCLE “Melody of Love,” the Circle's first all-talking picture, is just a trifle slow in getting started, but once it enters the swing of the story it is real, honest and, at, times, thrilling entertainment. A graphic, futuristic impression of the World war is given at the outset of the picture, which injects the right atmosphere into the story at once. Then America enters the great conflict and the war songs of ten and eleven years ago are brought back with all their old time pep and martial air. Walter Pidgeon, who has an excellent singing voice, is cast as a young song writer who can’t get his wits to working on the new war songs his boss wants. Try as he might, the inspiration is lacking, and finally a buddie comes into his office who has just enlisted. Jack, the song writer, gets his inspiration then, and promptly enlists, much against the will of his mercenary sweetheart, Jane Winton. Jack and his buddie got across and played around the muddy fields of sunny France long enough for the two of them to pick up several machine gun bullets. Lefty, Jack’s buddie, gets hit in the knee and as Jack is pulling him back to safety, Jack stops one with his arm. Then the long period of convalescence. But we are ahead of the story. When the two boys arrived in France they made the acquaintance of a little French girl named Madelon, played by Mildred Harris. Madelon startles the two former Broadwayites with her excellent voice and they assure her that, should she ever get to America, they will make her one of the hits of Broadway. But after his wound Jack is unable to play any more. His right hand is paralized. The armistics is signed and the two boys go home, but Jack’s sweetheart finds that she doesn’t care for him any longer when she sees his arm. That’s all we will tell. Mildred Harris has done exceptionally well with the part of the little French waitress. There is no reason why people will not want to see her in many more pictures, so she need not be worried about her comeback. Vitaphone short subjects make up the rest of the bill. At the Circle.

Verdict of the Screen CIRCLE—The Circle's first all-talking movie is a thoroughyl entertaining story of a young song writer and his experiences during the late war. INDIANA—Two songs are being made melody hits this week by Charlie Davis and his orchestra and by Dale Young at the pipe organ. The biggest stage show of the season at this house and a mighty good stage show. APOLLO—“The Singing Fool” with A1 Jolson is now in its second week. Hit of hits. LOEW’S PALACE—The movie version of “The Cardboard Lover” is not as smart nor as good as the stage version.

SMITH ON WAY TO PRESS FIGHT IN MISSOURI Democratic Nominee to Give Address in Sedalia Tuesday Night. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Stall Correspondent ABOARD SMITH SPECIAL TRAIN EN ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.—After four days of heavy campaigning in the doubtful border states. Governor Alfred E. Smith moved toward Missouri today to give his personal attention to the fight there. The Governor slept through southern Ilinois on the way to St. Aouis, confident that he would swing Missouri as well as the other border states. He told member of his party he was satisfied that he had won Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. His day’s schedule takes him to Sedalia, where he will speak Tuesday night. It gives him stops at Belleville, 111., at 10 a. m., and at St. Louis at 11 a. m. He will arrive in Sedalia at 6 p. m. tonight. Accompanied by a group of re-

porters and members of his family Governor Smith paid a visit to the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln at Hodgenville, Ky., Sunday. In the nation’s shrine the Democratic chieftain paid his homage to the great emancipator, doffing his famous brown derby he remarked to Mrs. Smith: "There is no royal road to greatness. Look at that.” (Pointing to the small log cabin.) After carefully reading the wall panels detailing the family history of Lincoln’s parents, Governor Smith purchased a number of souvenirs that are being sold to raise funds for the upkeep of the monument. Later in the evening he entrained, retiring before the train departed in order to be up for the strenuous day of campaigning ahead of him in St. Louis. He will be joined by Missouri party leaders, among them Senator Harry Hawes, state campaign manager. The streams and lakes of Florida occupy approximately two million acres or approximately onefifteenth of the State’s area.
