Radio SEVERAL TYPES OF RADIO GRIEF ON NORTH SIDE Interference Man Locates Trouble Sources in Long Survey. The Times Radio Interference Man has finished his survey in the northern sections of the city for a few days until the trouble that he has found is cleared up. Many letters have been received in the last few days telling of the improvement in radio reception. This interference, no doubt, covered a larger section of the city than any other trouble yet found by the interference department of The Times and has taken two weeks of careful testing of various lines and street lighting circuits. The trouble is not all cleared in every section of the north side, but reception is so much better that radio fans have in all the griefstricken areas noticed the change. Several Types of Trouble The trouble included several types of interference. Around Seventeenth street and College avenue it was street lights; around Central avenue and Twenty-second street *the trouble was power lines, street railway system and factory motors. Then far north the trouble around Fifty-second street and College avenue was a spark arc that covered the dials for some distance in all direction.s The Interference Man lias notified those at fault in all cases and will make a recheck later to see when all trouble is adjusted. The Interference Man Tuesday night started anew survey in the west side around 1800 W. Morris street, 1200 Kappes street and 2000 Jones street. Checks on West Side The fans have been waiting for The Times to finish the other surveys so they could get the trouble cleared around the west side. After the first night check the interference man finds that the trouble comes from many different sections of the west side and that there are many kinds of interference to check. This survey will take much time and study to clear completely this section of all grief, but as each case is found and cleared the reception will get better. On the first night’s study of this section the Interference Man made only the listings of each noticeable case, but has not yet found out the causes. This will take several nights of rechecking to separate each case of trouble and clear it. NATIONAL SWINE SHOW WILL BE HELD IN CITY Exhibit to Take Place Sept. 2 to 6 in Conjunction With Fair.

DIZZY SPELLS, STOMACH PAINS Constipation and Indigestion Relieved By the Use of Thedf ord’s Black-Draught, “I used to have dizzy spells real often until I began to use BlackDraught,” writes Mrs. W. M. Hill of 604 Climont avenue, Winston-Salem, N. C. “I find that Black-Draught gives me so much relief. “I would often have a roaring in my head, and also spells of indigestion when I would have sharp pams across my stomach. “I could hardly stand on my feet, I would feel so dizzy. “All my trouble seemed to come from constipation, which had bothered me all my life. It was not until I began to take Black-Draught that I got any kind of relief. It is the best purgative I ever took. “I give Black-Draught to all my children for colds and upset stomach. It is the first thing I call for when I get to feeling bad.” Thedford’s Black-Draught is prepared from medicinal herbs and roots of highest quality, carefully combined and packaged by automatic machinery. It has been in successful use for nearly 100 years, with constantly increasing popularity, by reason of its own value. Sold everywhere. pTgDfg

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
MOTOR CLUBS PLAN MEETING IN WASHINGTON Devote Program to Better Standardized Service; Auto Heads to Talk. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, March 13.—Intensified development of motoring services for the millions of car owners who will tour by motor this year will be undertaken at the fifth annual conference of executives of A. A. A. motor clubs and state associations to be held in Washington, March 20, 21, 22. Advance acceptances for this year’s gathering of motordom indicates a record attendance, including outstanding motor club leaders from all parts of the United States, from Canada and from Uncle Sam’s insular possessions. While the major portion of the program will be devoted to the further development of the reciprocal, standardized services of the 1,063 A. A. A. clubs in the United States and Canada, the needs of Americans touring abroad will come in for a great deal of attention, it is declared. Good roads, sign-posting, motoring facilities, fair taxation and numerous other matters of importance to every individual car owner will be completely covered, while at the same time, marked attention will be given to the problem of national safety. Emergency road service is another important subject that will come before the conference. Continual improvement of this major sendee on the motor club program, as well as its extension to every section, is also scheduled as one of the outstanding topics of the conference. On the imposing list of speakers slated to address the conference, are Edward S. Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor Car Company; Horace M. Albright, director, National Park Service; Professor C. D. Hardy, School of Speech, Northwestern university; Professors R. C. Borden and A. C. Bussey, New York university; Thomas P. Henry, president of the A. A. A.; Ernest N. Smith, general manager; Charles M. Hayes, president of fie Chicago Motor Club. A round of luncheons, state and territorial dinners and other features have been arranged, while the social and entertainment side of the conference will not be overlooked. The principal feature of this end will come on the second night when a real Spanish evening will be spent by those present, amid all the color of a pleasure resort in Spain. SIFT STUDENT RIOTS Backers of Strikers in Spain Sought.

CRAIG’S ‘MACBETH’ IS IN THREE ACTS All Star Cast to Appear in Shakespeare’s Great Tragedy at the Murat for Three Days Next Week. THE American stage, in back-door fashion, for long has availed itself of the genius of Gordon Craig. In this polite intellectual knavery it has not been alone. In fact, the back-door of international drama has undergone several alternations since Gordon Craig began to crystallize his dreams some twenty-five years ago. Yet, despite the enormous influence he has exerted and the host of pupils that have dogged his footsteps, few theaters have been honored by productions from his hand. All in all, his art has been too keenly independent to reconcile itself to the commercial conditions that have diseased the stage. ~
All of which makes the more interesting the coming offering of “Macbeth” by George Tyler, with Douglas Ross as director, and Gordon Craig as designer of the stage settings. Under such leadership it is not too far-fetched to predict that the cast, comix)sed of Florence Reed as Lady Macbeth, with Lyn Harding as Macbeth and William Farnum as Macduff, and Ross, himself, as Duncan, will create anew standard for Shakespeare’s somber tragedy. The entire production cries aloud of Craig and his art. His interpretation of the plot progression is evidenced not only in the scenery but in the very tempro of the acting. He wrote a number of years ago that he was no “pompous reformer,” no “hideous revolutionist,” and that his sole purpose was to indicate “anew way of looking at an old thing.” He has succeeded to a remarkable degree for Mr. Tyler was willing to trust his judgment when he approached him in London last year; Mr. Ross spent the summer working and planning at the Craig villa in Genoa, and the company that has been gathered together has been willing to accept his character theories and version of the plot. Asa result, reality and vital action clotne with splendor this latest edition of “Macbeth.” A glance at any of the drawings that Mr. Ross brought back to this country is sufficient to convince any one of the uniqueness of Craig’s craftsmanship. The famous series of designs that he made a number of years ago for a projected but never realized “Macbeth” are not included in the working plans for the present production. The first of Craig’s art that America has the privilege of seeing has to do with the malignant pleasure of evil and supernatural beings. The journey of Macbeth from early suedess to achieved ambition and, finally, to death, passes along a symbolical road of Craig’s devising that once again will lift the tragedy from a plaything for starred personalities into the realm of great and universal drama. The play has been divided into three acts and twenty-two scenes. The curtain rises on an astonishing bridge that sweeps across the stage and seems to rest high above the earth. Upon this the three witches first meet. Far below them is Macbeth’s

castle and a fringe of distant mountains. Great clouds hang in the sky, thunder is heard, and the low wind ever to be found on high and desolate spots moans about them. The play, from the first moment, exposes the tragic immortals tangling the destiny of a group of earth folk. Throughout the plot the supernatural theme remains dominant. So much str that in the final act one can feel nothing but pity for witch-driven Macbeth. Taken as a, whole, there is no single scene that is distinctly superior to the other twenty-one. They merge into the story and allow one to forget the necessary artificiality of their construction. The magic that is able to bring this about is emotional form. The actors move in front of castles, within halls, over briuges and battle-fields that do not attempt to express realism, but rather the plastic dimensions that are in harmony with the progress of the plot. In the end we grasp that Craig is attempting to force us to witness the spiritual travail of the characters by conspiring with form, color and rhythm to do away with weary and realistic materialism. Gordon Craig for years has brooded over his versions of “Macbeth.” He has summoned up within his Imagination the successive scenes so often that he knows them by heart and sees them entire with his inner vision. No one who has had the privilege of looking at the firm and decisive line of his drawings can doubt the virile beauty that he has lent to George Tyler’s production. His stage has more than three dimensions for he has added to height, breadth an)i thickness the unlimited power of tia spirit. He feels form as Cezan. j did, and perhaps he knows something of Rembrandt’s alchemy of souls. It is doubtful if Mr. Tyler could have chosen to produce anything that would have given greater impetus to his movement for a National Theater Foundation than this latest version of Shakespeare’s tragedy. This edition of “Macbeth” opens on Thursday night, March 21, at the Murat for three days. a a a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “This Thing Called Love” at English’s, Labero at the Lyric, burlesque at the Mutual, “Children of the
