CENSUS WILL HIRE 100.000; RUSH FOR JOBS $39,000,000 Will Be Spent on Count; Republicans Want All Positions, B<f Timet Bpcfial WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. —The biggest federal patronage pie in history will be cut next November, or the following January, and In anticipation thousands of job hunters in every state are beginning to smack their lips. The pie will be the decennial census that is due next year and, according to census bureau officials, will employ approximately 100,000 persons in the field service and several thousand more in Washington. The legislation ordering the official population count and the assembling of agricultural, industrial and other data is now pending in congress. Approximately $39,000,000 will be expended to complete the count, of which amount $16,000,000 will be made available for next year. The prospect of so many jobs is appealing strongly to that ever ambitious group of persons who want to work for the government and likewise to politicians who want to help them connect with the pay roll. Ten years ago, according to Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania. most of the census employes were Democrats. Next year, if Reed has any influence most of the employes will be Republicans. But in the meantime Senator Ashurst of Arizona proposes that preference oo census jobs be giveito World war veterans seeking employment, regardless oi their politics. Civil service organizations also want politics disregarded. Democrats, on the other hand, are demanding an equitable distribution i&i the jobs. > ; 3he actual task of enumerating will not take more JF lwo weeks or a month, but the g|*rvisors’ jobs and those of the clynpilatlbn o'ieiks will continue for many months. It may be late in 1930. probably early in 1931, before the complete population census is announced. It has been proved that lightning starts from the clouds and the ground at nearly the same instant.

A CRITIC GOES TO HELL IN NEW YORK Belasco’s Stage Mechanics in ‘Mima’ Have Set the Whole Town to Talking About the Devil. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—1 have been to Hell, that if the edition that David Belasco has created so that we mortals may see it at high prices at the Belasco. The Hell of Belasco is not so hot as one would expect from the flame standpoint but the sex life in this Hell is as hot as the furnace. The main generator of the sex heat in this play of hell called “Mima is Lenore Ulric who has to her credit such roles as “Lulu Belle ’ and “Kiki Kiki.” My seat was right down in Hell because the theater has been done over to permit the genius of Belasco to create Hell on the Belasco stage.

Don’t take “Mima” too seriously because Mima seems to raise more Whoopee than hell. This play commands capacity interest because of the stage mechanics. 1 have never seen anything like it on the stage. We expect in the movies to see vast machines blown to pieces on the screen. But we seldom get such realism on the spoken stage, but Bleasco has come nearer to bring movie effects to the stage than any other producer in New York. Belaseo destroys his entire infernal machine right before your very eyes. “Mima” is the ?nost realistic thing

on the New York stage from the mechanical standpoint. Steam and fire hisses from the holes in the stage. Flames play all over the front of the tage and His Highness the Devil comes right down the aisle with his court and takes a seat in the audience to see the new invention of the Magister, an inventor. The Devil is interested in the invention because it can send a mortal to hell in an hour's time instead of taking a life time. Os course his highness is interested. And so is the audience:. And for more than three hours

we see the Magister attempt his; experiment. Miss Ulric is cast as Mima who is the Magister’s chief manikin. The inventor has to keep his manikins on ice and so Miss Ulric makes her first appearance from an icebox under the stage of the theater. Mima is quite a vamp when the violet rajs of life play on her. She with other manikins are placed in the Red Mill, the strange invention, in which the Devil is interested. Mima is modem when she exercises her charms. And Mima generally gets what she wants from her victims, but of course she fails to land Janos, a forester and a good man. Mima nearly makes a wreck of Janos in an hour, but he remembers God and the ten commandments and this causes the machine to explode. We last see Mima climbing over the terrible wreck, crying out for her human lover. Then the Magister takes her in his arms and Mima is ready to be taken back to the ice box for months to come. That is “Mima ” the most costly staged show in New York. I am t.Vnt, it mnet run at $5 a seat

for three years before it will even start to pay for itself. The cast is larger than most operas at the Metropolitan. I think that you can go to hell safely by seeing “Mima.” a a a One of the greatest problems confronting the American Telephone and Telegraph Company today is the difficulty of a person in one country understanding the telephone conservation of another person in another count ry. Such is the statement of Walter S. Gifford, president of this concern, in the interview which is being reproduced in the Fox Movietone News at the Circle theater this week. Gifford, j r oung president of the world’s largest corporation, stated that his concern at this time is attempting to “make a community of the entire world” and that- the above probably is the greatest of problems which are being encountered at this time. On view at Indianapolis theaters today are: “Bellamy Trial” at Loew’s Palace; “My Man” at the Apollo; “Abie’s Irish Rose” at the Circle; George Jessel at the Indiana; vaudeville at the Lyric; “Trial of Mary Dugan” at English's and burlesque at the Mutual.
