.firSTHY M*T TO CHASE 1929 RUM RUNNERS U. S. Tries Out Armored Speed Chaser for Florida Coast Work. BY ALFRED P. RECK United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Rum runners who ply up and down the south Florida coast, will receive a new year’s greeting from the coast guard in the form of a triple-threat, mystery rum chaser. This boat, now being tested out at Baltimore, will be dispatched to Miami on Jan. 1, to make the south Florida peninsula as dry as possible. According to coast guard headquarters, the mystery boat carries a three-fold warning to rum runners It has speed, greater than ever before placed in a boat of its size. It has machine guns and one-pounders, and it is equipped with an armorplated bow, knife-edged and capable of a wicked ramming blow. No vessel known in the rum running trade can touch the new coast guard craft for speed. Expert marine engineers have taken a sixty-foot speed boat with a wide curved and dominating prow. They armor plated the hull and the pilot house with half-inch steel, capable of withstanding machine gun fire. At first the engineers tried the boat with two 245-horse power Liberty airplane engines. It worked successfully so they added a third engine which gives the vessel 1,275horse power and pushes :t through the water at better than fifty miles an hour with a roar like that of a hurricane. _

CIRCLE WILL START BIG MOVIE MONTH ‘The Barker,’ With Milton Sills in the Title Role, Will Begin New Feature System in City. ARRANGEMENTS have been made at the Circle to start the new year with “Big Picture Month,” featuring the latest sound and talking productions of the indqftry. It was made known by the management today that Indianapolis theater patrons, beginning with the first week of 1929, will have a barrage of talking and sound pictures such as were not thought possible even by leaders of the industry two years ago. The bringing of these films to the Circle comes as a result, it was said, of the entrance into the “talkie” field of the larger producers.

For more than a year the larger producing organizations looked with fear and misgiving upon the “talkies,” refusing to venture in this field without further proof that sound and talking films were not merely a fad. Each succeeding sound production gave evidence of materal improvement over its predecessor until now every concern in the industry is devoting its energy toward the production of these new entertainment films. As the first picture of “Big Picture Month” the Circle will present First National’s widely advertised talking and sound picture, "The Barker.” In this film Milton Sills, Dorothy Mackaill, Betty Compson and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., as v 'll as others, are heard talking. In addi* tion the carnival setting for the story is made very realistic indeed, according to critics, as a result of the calliope, merry-go-round organ, and other sounds which are characteristic of a carnival, having been reproduced and synchronized with the film. As an example of the manner in which Paramount and First National are going into the “talkies,” the following are only a few of the new sound pictures which now are being produced in their studios:

“Sins of Fathers;” George Bancroft’s first all-talking picture, “The Wolf of Wall Street;” “The Letter,” an alluring all-talker with Jeanne Eagles, stage star; “The Canary Murder Case,” an all-talking mystery drama; “The Girl on the Barge” and “The Last Warning.” From this program theater operators believe that producers are now convinced that the “talkies” are here to stay and as a result are making extensive plans for their exploitation. It is in celebration of this, the advent of the talking film, that the Circle is holding its “Big Picture Month,” stated the management. “Intereference,” Paramount’s first all-talking picture is scheduled to follow “The Barker.” Indianapolis theaters today offer; Noodles Fagan at the Lyric; Charli* Davis at the Indiana; “Dream of Love” at the Palace; “Dry Martini” at the Apollo; “Synthetic Sin” at the Circle; burlesque at the Mutual, and Buddy Kane at the Colonial.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CITY BOARDS TO TALK OVER BRIDGE TANGLE Delaware Street Problem to Be Aired at Park and Works Confab. A joint meeting of the park and works boards, to consider a plan to relieve traffic congestion north of Delaware street bridge on Fall creek, has been called for Jan. 17. On motion of Michael E. Foley, park commissioner, the park board Thursday voted to invite the works board to sit in Joint session. The Delaware street bridge tangle has troubled officials for several years. The city plans to widen and straighten several streets north of the bridge and construct suitable aproaches. The plan temporarily was blocked several months ago when Jose-Balz Company refused to sell a tract north of the span for the appraised value of $85,000. The company asked $125,000, which city officials declined to pay. Mayor L. Ert Slack attended the park session Thursday, revealing some of his general plans for park improvements. Slack indorsed the proposal to buy ground along Fall creek to “pro • tect the bank” and to ask the county to purchase the banks outside city limits as a beautification program. Completion of the original Kessler boulevard project over Fifty-ninth street to Millersville was urged by the mayor. He expressed belief that the government some day may be willing to build anew road to Ft. Benjamin Harrison, connecting with

the Millersville road, and the boulevard system. “I would not have laid out Kessler as it was built because it was too much of a real estate promotion project. But there is a moral obligation on the part of the city to carry out the original agreement,” Slack said. Foley told the board that exGovernor James P. Goodrich was interested in seeing the fort road built by the government and had promised assistance in obtaining appropriation. Dissatisfaction with the Delaware street bridge project and the approaches was voiced by Slack. “I think that bridge will fall down some day. I don’t know anything about the engineers who built it, but there are cracks an inchwide in the span,” Slack said. Slack said he believed that

He reiterated his stand for busses on Meridian street. “There should be a good, wide boulevard north of the bridge, with a concrete wall to protect the drive. We should provide a sidewalk.
