BIG BUSINESS BACKS AVIATION TO THE_ LIMIT Hard-Headed Financiers to Invest Millions in New Field. ALFRED P. RECK. United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—'This year in aviation will see' a tightening of one of the strangest unions in history—big business and aerial pioneering. Regardless of spectacular flights planned, or proposed record-break-ing attempts, the outstanding development in aeronautics during 1929 will be the fact that aviation, as a money-making field, is recognized by organized capital. Four important a* iation mergers, involving millions cf dollars and bearing the hallmark of Wall Street, have been consumated within a few months, giving a forecast of the important, if not dominating, part dol- j lars will play in the future of commercial aviation. Other mergers are in the making. Fokktr in Merger Prominent among these combina- I tions are the $10,000,000 merger of the Fokker interests and the Western Air Express; the combination of the Trans-Continental Air Transport, headed by C. M. Keyes, the Curtiss comporations and the ; Sikorsky Airplane plant; the merger j of Keystone Aire: aft Corporation and the Loening Aircraft Engineering Corporation, and the merger of the Pratt & Whitney Engine Corporation with the Boeing Airplane Manufacturing Company of Seattle, and the Bement, Pond interests of Hartford, Conn. These mergers, backed by millions of dollars, will be devoted mainly to production of large multi-mo-tored planes and necessarily will come into active competition with Stout Metal Airplane Company, backed by the millions of Henry and Edsel Ford. Thus 1929 will see aeronautical engineering brains, with almost unlimited capital behind it, striving to produce bigger and better airplanes at a reduced cost. Will Increase Mileage Airplane corporation stocks already are listed on Wall Street and more probably will find recognition in the stock exchanges during the year. There are other important developments on the calendar. The 6,900 miles of improved airways now in active operation will be increased by 4,600 miles in 1929. The 45,000 miles, which were flown daily in 1928, are reach almost 100,000 miles in 1929 and may exceed this number. Airplane manufacture. which totaled between 10,000 and 15,000 machines last year, is expected to double this year, with many of the larger plants turning out standardized planes by mass production.

RUTH URBAN MAKES A GOOD BARBARA Luana Alcaniz Deserves Credit for Being a Great Dancer as Well as a Marvelous Beauty, Now at Lyric. ' BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN a show has been in town before, the question that most of us want to know is—ls it as good as last year? We now apply the question to “My Maryland,” which opened a week’s engagement at English’s last night. My answer to the* question is—That in some respects 1 like it better than last year. It is just as good an entertainment on the whole as j last year. I am sure that this company can deliver. I have seen several companies during the history of the life of “My Maryland.” I will tell ! you right now that I consider Madeline McMahon the best of all the

Sue Royces that I have seen. She is a cute little thirfg who never seems to run out of energy and acting as well as singing ability.

Shegets right into your heart. Ruth Urban to my way of thinking is a better Barbara Frietchie than several others that I have seen in the role. She has a fine sense of drain at i c qualities and her climax at the close of the first act is masterful. She has a good voice and a most adequate personality for the role. Alexander Clark is again

Alexander Callam

Zeke and as I have said before, he is the best of the lot of Zekes, Alexander Callam is Captain Trumbull. He has a good singing voice and knows his way well about the stage. His song numbers with Miss Urban are well put over. Rollin Grimes is the Jack Negley. He takes every advantage of his dramatic opportunity in the first scene of the third act while singing “Won’t You Marry Me?” His work although brief is one of the bright spots. The company on the whole measures up very well and both the male and girl chorus can sing. They put over the big numbers in fine shape. The production is all that you would expect for such a show. “My Maryland” still is mighty pleasing theater. At English’s all week. n an PAYING RESPECTS TO A GREAT DANCER Right at the start let me tell you that the dance offering of Luana Alcaniz is one of great beauty and great talent. I had the feeling yesterday at the Lyric when the final curtain fell on this act that I should get to my feet and applaud this dancer and her associates. Rather guess that such things are not being done this season and so I reserve my applause in print. So there can be no misunderstanding, if students of the dance want to get an eye and an ear full of what makes up a great danee act, I refer them to Luana Alcaniz. In the first place this dancer is a marvelously beautiful woman and she backs up this quality with mas-

terful dancing ability as well as a pleasing singing voice. She has the services of two men, Juan Puertas and Ector Cortez as well as Betancourt’s Marimba orchestra. The services of all of these people is placed before a background of art. Whoever was responsible for staging this act knew his business. Without any fear of contradiction, I will place this Luana Alcaniz dance offering among the ten best dance offerings I have seen since I have been telling you about the theater, and that has been a bunch of years. And I might say right now that the Lyric has a corking good show The Pearson Brothers are dancers along acrobatic tap lines. They are splendid. Oliver and Lee live up to their title of “The Girl and the Boob.” Mighty good work on the part of the man. Lowe and Dunn Sisters have a mixed offering of song and dance. Well delivered Their review of popular songs of the year is the real article. Tobey Wilson and company present “Oh Henry” with Wilson doing his wild old man stuff just as successful as ever before. This man Wilson knows his theater from a laugh standpoint. The cold weather slowed me up yesterday and I missed the opening act. The movie is “The Floating College.” Now at the Lyric.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

burlesque show at the Mutual boasts a good number of comedy scenes that are mirth provokers of first water. Billy Foster and Marty Semon are chiefly responsible for the fun and their activity carries the weight of the attraction. Leading women are a little bit scarce, at least such was the case in the first act, but the work done by the chorus and several specialties are highly pleasing, judging from a “warm” dance standpoint. The show is well put up in every way, everything looking as fresh and snappy as one could wish. Included in the list of principals are Tom McKenna, straight man; Tim Benson, Italian character comedian: Evelyn Ramsey, soubrette; Violet Hilson and Tenny Hilson, ingenue and prima donna. At the Mutual. <By Observer.) Indianapolis theaters today offer: “On Trial” at the Apollo; “A Lady of Chance” at the Palace; Charlie Davis at the Indiana; “Interference” at the Circle, and movies and girl revue at the Colonial.

Verdict of the Stage ENGLISH’S—“MY Maryland” still gives you mighty good theater, splendid melodies and good acting. A mighty safe buy. LYRlC—Luana Alcaniz has one of the best dance offering that the vaudeville stage has had in the last ten years. A corking good show. In fact a knockout. MUTUAL—“Bowery Burlesquers” a first rate burlesque attraction with many good comedy scenes and dances galore.

powers are known throughout the width and breadth of Indianapolis and vicinity. Konjola’s amazing record of successes over the most stubborn and chronic cases is based on achievement and results—not on promises or claims. Its thirty-two ingredients work together, cleansing the system, eliminating poisons, banishing aches and pains-prepar-ing the body for the ever-welcome tenant—new, glorious and permanent health. All who are suffering—who believe their case to be hopeless, are asked to visit the Konjola Man, who is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, and lay their health problems before him. He will 1 explain Konjola to you, give you personal advice and describe how thousands of others have found the open road to glorious health. There is no need to be ill—just see what Konjola has done and is doing. The Konjola Man, is explaining the merits of this medicine daily. He will make no promises, claims or theories—he will tell you facts—point out triumph after triumph of this astonishing medicine. The statement of Mr. Johnny Perry, 1626 Holliday street, this city, holds a wealth of hope and cheer for all * who suffer. Mr. Perry is the wellknown leader of Johnny’s Golden Hart orchestra, which broadcasts over local stations and is a popular dance band. “In Konjola I found the medicine I always needed and it certainly is worthy of more praise than is accorded it. Constantly being up at night, getting improper sleep and my meals irregularly—made me rundown in general. About a year ago I began losing all my energy and vitality. I lost weight and strength. In fact, my general condition was extremely rundown. I decided upon Konjola as the medicine needed to build up my system. I took a full treatment—to assure myself of complete recovery and permanent relief. Six bottles and I am like a different man. The boys in my orchestra tell me that I look so much better. I have gained five pounds of good solid flesh. New vigor and energy are mine. My appetite has increased and food tastes much better. In every way I have benefited from the Konjola treatment. It is really remarkable the manner in which Konjola worked on my system—l have nothing but praise and gratitude for this medicine.” Konjola is anew and different medicine containing the juices from 22 roots and herbs, combined with other recognized medical ingredients. This supercompound works with the sufferer’s own food, restoring a more normal, healthy action to the important functionary organs of the body—the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. There is no secret about the success of Konjola—it is simply a remedy that Nature, the great healer, would recommend. It contains no heart-depress-ants, nerve-deadening drugs nor alcohol. Every drop of Konjola is medicine and every drop works. The Konjola Man Is at the Hot* Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this master medicine of all medicines. —Advertisement.
