HERE’S CHANCE TO BE CRITIC AND WIN CASH Just Review ‘Weary River’ Movie and You May Be Awarded Prize. Like to review a picture? One of the most envied persons in the world is the motion picture critic, whose jot) it is to tell you of the merits, or otherwise, of the current cinema attractions. Quite often the critic, to your way of thinking, is wrong. Pictures' he likes, you don’t—and vice versa. Now, The Times has arranged for you to review a motion picture, and, if the judges so decree, you will be well repaid for your pleasure and effort. The picture chosen by The Times for you to review is “Weary River," in which Richard Barthelmess sings, talks and plays the piano. Asa matter of fact, it is Richard's first Vitaphone production. Coming to Circle “Weary River" has been playing on Broadway at $2 but will come to the Circle theater here Saturday at regular Circle prices. Dick is the first of the old line of popular screen stars to come to the audible screen. The sweetness of the story, the widespread interest in the type of story and the success of the picture in New York influenced The Times in applying this contest to “Weary River.” In addition to Richard Barthelmess, the picture features Betty Compson, who will be remembered for her remarkable work in “The Barker.” This review contest will be conducted from Monday, March 4, to Saturday, March 9, inclusive. The Times will publish one of the reviews submitted daily and pay $5 for each review printed. The publication of a review r , however, will have absolutely no bearing on the major prize award, which will be $25 for the best review submitted.

Three Will Judge The Times will select a competent committee of three to judge the contest daily, as well as the major prize winner. Every one is eligible, except professional writers. So, if you have never written for financial compensation, this is your opportunity. Reviews must be received not later than noon to be published in the following day’s paper. Reviews must be limited to approximately 200 words. Literary composition will be of secondary consideration. The principal thing is constructive criticism, and judgment on merits of the picture. Address your communications to the “Weary River” contest editor of The Times. The shows starts at the Circle Saturday, so be on hand with your wits, and pencils sharpened. And may we advise that you mail your review as early as possible, to avoid the last minute rush. The Times will give you additional information on this contest, so watch the paper daily.

It makes my hair easy to dress and holds it in place wonderfully. It has gotten rid of my dandruff. It keeps my hair and scalp so comfortable, that I don’t shampoo half as often as I did before.

GADSKI AND LIPPE TO SING IN OPERA Great Singers Will Both Be Heard as Bruenhilde in Wagner’s Famous Opera-Drama at the Murat. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE out-of-town demand for seats for the German Grand Opera Company at the Murat on Friday and Saturday, is way over the local demand. T am told that over 300 seats have been sold to students and others at Indiana university. Even people in long-distance calls from other states have ordered tickets. Although the sale has been very heavy, yet it is necessary for this organization to have absolute capacity at every performance. Remember that the night performances begin sharply at 7:45 o’clock and the Saturday matinee at 1:30 o’clock. I urge those who want to

hear the entire operas to be in their seats at least ten minutes before curtain time.

I have before me the renews of the leading music critics of Chicago regarding the work of this company a few days ago in that city. They certainly were most laudatory. Special praise was given Johanna Gadski and Juliette Lippe, the two Bruenhildes with this organization. Both will appear here, but in what operas, the management has not announced. I have been asked to explain the meaning of “Der Ring des Nibelungen” of which “Die Walkure” and “Siegfred" are parts. The following data has been obtained : The Kiprantic tetralogy of "Der Ring des Nibelungen” was projected as early as 1848. The music, however, was not commenced until 1853. and not completed until 1874. It was first performed on Aug. 13, 14. 16. and IT. 1876. at Bayreuth. "Das Rheingold." which forms the prologe to the trilogy proper, was completed in 1854. and contains the key of the entire tragedy. The prelude is perhaps the most original of all Wagner’s preludes. It is a musical picture of the mighty Rhine and as the curtain rises we are transported to the lowest depths of the river, where the three Rhine-maidens are disporting themselves in the waters. Presently appears Alberich. the chief of the Nibelungen, a race of dwarfs who Inhabit the bowels of the earth. Ugly and malicious is he. cruel and crafty to boot. Clumsily he tries to make amorous advances to the maidens, but they easily escape his clutches as he slides about on the slippery rooks. The light has gradually grown brighter and suddenly a sunbeam strikes upon the point of one of the submerged rocks and the depths are Illuminated by a golden glow.

It is the Rhein-gold, the treasure of the Rhine-maidens. They, foolishly tell the dwarf that who so possess the gold may by its power become the ruler of the world, but he must first renounce love. Alberich’s cupidity is excited beyond measure. With frantic haste he scales the rock, curses and forever renounces love, and, clutching the glittering metal, disappears into the depths below'. Darkness once more falls, and the maidens are heard disconsolately lamenting their loss. As the darkness disperses, a mighty castle is revealed on a high eminence; .in the'foreground the god Wotan and Fricka, his spouse, lie sleeping on the grassy mound. They awake, and gaze on the castle. it is Walhalla. the palace that Wetan has commissioned the giants Fafner anti Fasolt to build for him. But, now that the work is finished the price that must be paid weighs heavily on Fricka’s mind. At the instigation of Loki. the embodiment of shiftness and: craft. Wotan has promised to the giants Freia, the goddess of youth and beauty Fricba's sister. Fricka herself had persuaded Wotan to build Walhalla: she hoped thereby to keep the roving god more closely to her side, marital constancy not having been one of the strongest characteristics. But she has been not a part to the agreement to surrender Freia. and she bitterly upbraids her lord for what he has done. • The helpless Freia now rushes in tears, pursued by th.e two giants, who demand their reward. Wotan endeavors to temporize, but the giants are obdurate, Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Good News’ at English’s; vaudeville and movies at the Lyric; burlesque at the Mutual; Charlie Davis at the Indiana; “The Canary Murder Case” at the Circle; “The Singing Fool" at the Ohio; “In Old Arizona” at the AjmMo; “The Lady of the Pavements” at the Palace; “Alias Jimmy Valentine” at the Ritz.

SCULPTOR OF STONE MOUNTAIN IS REHIRED Artist Who Was Dismissed in 1922, Taken Back, Bu United Press DES MOINES. Feb. 28.—Gutzon Borglum, whose refusal to take suggestions brought about his dismissal as sculptor of the great Stone Mountain Memorial project, near Atlanta, says he is going back to complete the task he began nearly seven y.ears ago. “I am going back and resume the project without interference,” he declared in speaking of the matter, although it was his demand that he rule with unquestioned authority that brought about his dimissal three years ago. Augustus Lukeman, who was commissioned to carve the gigantic figures on the face of Stone mountain after Borglum was dismissed, will be dropped by the Stone Mountain Confederate Monument Association, Borglum declared.

OPEN CHURCH HOUSETUESOAY Presbyterian Center Is Completed. Formal opening and dedication of the new recreation building of the First Presbyterian church at Delaware and Sixteenth streets, will be held next Tuesday night at 7:30.

Huesmann was chairman of the building committee when it was first organized and since his death William L. Elder has been chairman, BOOTLEGGER TRIES TO HIDE LIQUOR IN CHURCH

Children Discover Scheme and Dealer Forced to Move. By United Press WARRENSBURG, N. Y., Feb. 28. —The law of sanctuary is not recognized in this country, but an ingenious bootlegger at Sodom, near here, decided that Union church constituted the safest cache for a liquor load while his car was being repaired. With some companion;-, the bootlegger lifted the carpet from the floor of the church, pried loose some boards and stowed away the contraband. Somehow noisy urchins discovered what was taking place and banged upon the door of the church. The bootlegger proved himself a diplomat by bribing the children to silence. Nevertheless, the news seeped out and an interested audience watched while the liquor was carried out and whisked away in the car.

SPEED, MORE SPEED KEYNOTE OF AUTO SHOW This Year’s Crowds Know What They Want, Must Be Fast. Visitors to the eighteenth annual motor car show at the state fairground Wednesday and today find in the exhibits the courtliness of Europe, the practicality of American economy in design, the era of aviation and the continual demand for more speed within bounds of safety. With the opening of the fourth day of exhibition—the show ends Saturday night—morning dawlers and afternoon vacationists of the city are struck by the blending of influences in chassis that might easily be seen on a French pike traveling at airplane-speed.

A Le Baron town car in the Blackhawk booth is an example of a car for nobility with its regal lines. In the Auburn booth is seen the influence of speed in an Auburn 120 which is built with the Vshaped rear of a Florida speedboat and the wing-glasses similar to airplane ailerons. Speed—“ How fast will it go?”—is one of the universal show questions and toppling upon it is the added request for information as to “what kind of brakes has it got?” Dealers commented today on the record crowds attending the show and differentiated between the characteristics of the 1919 show crowd and that of 1929. “The crowd of today wants to know the ‘why’ of everything before buying—but the crowd of yesterday was more meek and willing to believe the ‘hooey’ of any salesman. They know no wall motor cars are well-built and they hunt that ‘it’ in the special car that will serve their own needs,” explained one old stager in the auto exhibition world. REVIVAL. AT NEWCASTLE NEWCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 28.—Final plans for an annual simultaneous religious campaign here from Sunday to March 17 have been announced in fourteen Protestant churches. The churches, members of the ministerial association, request that the city give right-of-way for the revival by not planning any conflicting programs. Each church will conduct its own services, with special pastors in some, and with special music and song features. Last year more than one hundred conversions were obtained in a similar revival.

Indiana Girl is a Winner Every mother realizes how' important it is to teach children good habits of conduct but many of them fail to realize the importance of teaching their children good bowel habits until the poisons from decaying waste held too long in the system have begun to affect the child’s health. Watch your child and at the first sign of constipation, give her a little California Fig Syrup. Children love its rich, fruity taste and it quickly drives away those distressing ailments, such as headaches, bad breath, coated tongue, biliousness, feverishness, fretfulness, etc. It gives them a hearty appetite, regulates their stomach and bowels and gives tone and strength to these organs so they continue to act normally, of their own accord. For over fifty years, leading physicians have prescribed it for half-sick, bilious, constipated children. More than 4 million bottles used a year shows how mothers depend on it. Mrs. A. Huber, 1539 l /2 Madison Ave., Indianapolis, says: “My daughter, Helen, is a prize winner for health, now, but we had a lot of trouble with her before we found her trouble was constipation and began giving her California Fig Syrup. It fixed her up quick, gave her a good appetite, made her sleep fine and she’s been gaining in weight right along since the first few days, taking it.” To avoid inferior imitations of California Fig Syrup, always lock for the word “California” on the carton.-r Advertisement,
