FRANCE RACES ITALY TO RUILD BORDER FORTS .War Clamor Grows Loud, as Both Rush Mammoth Defense Lines. :j. by rAlph heinzen, United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Oct. 16.—The fortification building race on both sides of the lofty French-Italian frontier in the Alphs testifies to the extent of the strained relations that have existed between Paris and Rome since Premier Mussolini came into power. Fascist Italy holds France to blame for much oi' the lost Italian Influence and territorial concessions Which Italian statesmen were obliged to make at the insistence of Clemenceau and later French statesmen in post-war peace conferences. Fascist leaders also dislike France for having given temporary asylum to the hordes of Italian radicals, anarchists and other opponents of fascism who fled the country, fearing Fascist revenge. France looks with distrust at Italy’s colonial ambitions, her desire to figure larger in the Mediterranian basin and in her emigration policy as it affects Tunisia. The newspapers of the two country have engaged in such biting and bitter malignancy that the wildest publications are shouting for war and hurling threats. Italy started the border fortification race, building tsrongholds all along the border from the Mediterranean to Mt. Blanc, the highest Jjeak in Europe, where the limits bf Italy, Switzerland and France icome to a meeting point on the piountain’s steep slope. Now France is retaliating. Recently M. Painleve, French minister tef war, told the United Press of the 'Certification plan, which will include the bristling with cannon of 11 mountian passes to prevent the passing of any armies. Ai. Painleve declared that France (Will keep up with Italy and will Jtnatch the Italian fortifications gun for gun. Thus the Alps race is on, at a cost of millions of dollars to (the taxpayers of the two countries. “Our plan of border fortifications, iWhich includes the building of a defense system from the channel to the Mediterranean, makes provisions for the protection of our Italian frontier,” M. Painleve said. “Our only ambition is to rest master of our Alpine valleys, for this frontier is far easier to defend than the eastern borders with Germany. Certain works have been started to protect the region of Nice, which is one of the nerve centers of that border.” Evansville Mayor Married 2?,i/ Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 16.

THE WORLD WANTS A DADDY FOR A BABY Even Two Playwrights, as Well as Pauline Frederick, Will Not Tell Us Who the Father Really Is. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN When two playwrights, an actress of the ability of Pauline Frederick, as well as a two buck and fifty cent seat check will not tell you who the father of the baby is—well, what can a poor critic do? That’s my trouble right now because I know the world, that part of it which was at English’s last night to see “The Imperfect Lady,” wants to know who is the daddy of that charming baby in the play. Several people came up to me last night and told me to find out the answer of that question which is not answered by the two who wrote the play or the star who is in it.

And Miss Frederick, as Agatha Marley, who suddenly shows up in her home town with a wee baby in her arms and refuses to explain, doesn’t explain either to Andrew Mason, a chap that she is wild over

for a husband. And so you can see that the audience which has been waiting patiently for the solution cries out from the housetops for the answer. AH I can tell you is that one of the sweetest babies I have ever seen is used in this play. And the little one smiles and acts, oh. so happy. This unique ending, a puzzle,

Miss Frederick

probably is answered by Miss Frederick the first few minutes on the stage, but you leave the theater feeling that it never has been answered. And probably it wasn’t answered—just who the father is. Once Miss Frederick tells you she doesn't know just who is the daddy. Am trying to tell you that Miss Frederick last night opened the season at English’s 'in a comedy of small town gossip called “The Imperfect Lady,” by Zelda Sears and Reita Lambert. Personally, I feel that Miss Sears, who is also in the cast as Hattie, did most of the writing herself, because it has the Sears’ trademark. This play is healthy entertainment. It is not near as naughty as the title suggests. I will not state that it is the best vehicle that Miss Frederick has had on the stage. But it does give her a chaiice to project for the first time her marvelous talents as a comedienne. We know' her emotional possibilities, but we haven’t had a chance until now to see her as a comedienne and a smart one at that. When a play can get into the hearts of people, although it is pretty much hokum at times, and make the world a happier place even for a few hours, well, I for one person am not going to cry it down. I liked “Abie’s Irish Rose” the first time I saw it and I told the world about it. And for the reason at least, I will never get in “Who’s Who.” “The Imperfect Lady” comes under the head of robust, healthy, good theater. When a play entertains, gives one a smile as well as a tear, I -am not going to condem it just because it is human. And I don’t care one rip if that baby takes a hundred curtain calls with Miss Frederick. It does sound pretty much like waving the flag, but I loved it last night and I think everybody else did at English’s. Here is human theater and dam clever showmanship. As for the company. It is a pleasure to see Miss Sears back on the stage acting again. This woman knows her theater and her triumph ranks right along with Miss Frederick in this play. The next outstanding hit is the wise crack-

ing and acting role as played by Paul Stanton. He certainly makes one believe that the character he plays "has been ‘with chickens so much that he cluck-clucks in his sleep.” Thomas Holding has the role which is generally termed “leading man.” The rest of the cast is pretty true to type on the whole. “The Imperfect Lady” is laughing theater and good theater at that. On view today, Wednesday afternoon and night at English’s. a a a NEW POLICY STARTS AT THE LYRIC THEATER The Lyric has the right to give evidence of pleasure in the way the theater is celebrating its sixteenth anniversary by starting anew policy. Although still keeping its char-

acter as a vaudeville theater, the Lyric now is booking bigger, and I may say by judging the first offering, better pictures. The policy now includes six acts of vaudeville, a feature picture, Ruth Noller at the pipe organ and an overture by the Lyric orchestra. The first show under the new policy puts this theater in a

more advanced position and it is possible now to show many big feature pictures. The first under the new policy is “The Scarlet Lady” wit It Lya de Putti, Don Alvarado, as the two lovers, and Warner Olando as the villain. It may be said in all fairness that Olando gives the best performance. The story of the movie concerns the stormy days in Russia that preceded the downfall of the Czar and the terror that followed it. “The Scarlet Lady” has been splendidly photographed and directed with intelligence except where Miss De Putti is permitted to overact. And yet this may be forgiven as part of the picture is melodramatic in nature. The movie has been made on a gorgeous scale. The element of suspense is well handled. Here is a picture that will hold your interest. Heading the vaudeville section of the bill is Jack Russell, the chap'Tn

blackface, who made such a sensation with his dancing in the act of Eddie Leonard some years ago. He is using the same makeup that he did with Leonard and does the outstanding dance of that act. He is assisted by four other fast steppers. The act has a novelty finish with four of the dancers doing a spark dance. I still think that if Russell would do more of his intimate dancing that the act would be improved. He is a splendid dancer of his type. Jack Richards and Billy Church still show traces of their former minstrel training. La Follette is a quick change artist and he has a routine that keeps one interested all the time. A good act. Heller and Lorraine get their stride when one of the girls play the violin. Ray and Stone offer fair hokum at times. France and Lapell have an interesting perch act.

The whole world knows Aspirin as an effective antidote for pain. But it’s just as important to know that there is only one genuine Bayer Aspirin. The name Bayer is on every tablet, and on the box.

So are colds, and the pain that goes with them; even neuralgia, neuritis, and rheumatism promptly relieved. Get Bayer—at any drugstore—with proven directions.

cipals slipped his mind for the moment. Result, a large amount of good looking scenery, a neat appearing chorus and a very weak cast of first line entertainers. “Dainty Dolls” tries to imitate the big Broadway girl shows and fails. Joe Moss, comedian is not as funny as he should be, in fact, his assistant and foil is the best comic of the two. TJie leading women do not have mum to offer and so the show is left to the chorus, and it is a good one, but the chorus can’t do everything. There are several undeniably good Rooking scenes but the lack of something to laugh about takes away the first kick of a burlesque show. At the Mutual. (By Observer.)

Why suffer with Rheumatism? ARE you one of those unfortunates who suffer with pains in your muscles and joints, commonly called rheumatism, making you miserable, less efficient, interfering with your working hours, ruining your sleep? You may have tried many things without relief. Why not try S.S.S.? S.S.S. is extracted from the fresh roots of medicinal plants and herbs and gives to Nature what she needs in building you up so that your system throws off the cause. For more than 100 years S.S.S. has been giving relief in thousands of cases, as testified to in unsolicited letters of gratitude.
