G. 0. P. CLUB IS ORGANIZED TO FIGHT COFFIN 400 Join Protest Group in First Ward, Says Chairman. Organized efforts to fight the George V. Coffin faction of the ReDublican party were disclosed today, with announcement of the formation of the First Ward Independent Republican Club. About 400 persons in the First ward disgusted with leadership of the city charman and his lieutenants, have formed the Anti-Coffin organiaztion, according to Wfiliam H. Hert, 2143 North Rural street, chairman of the advisory committee. George Schillinger, druggist, Bloyd and Roosevelt avenues, is club president. A drive to obtain 1,000 ‘•i--r-bers is under way. ‘•We don’t leel that +h people in this ward have had a square deal. We’re tired of having the people’s wishes overridden by the Coffin faction. Our club stands for clean politics and desires new Republican leadership,” Hert said. Hert said the club has a hall at 2762 Vi, Roosevelt avenue, where a meeting will be held April 5. City manager league speakers are expected to discuss the new form of government, which becomes effective in January, 1930. Use of the hall has been offered to Democrats interested in boosting the city manager movement. The club is endeavoring to co-operate with the manager league, with the view to defeating the Coffin candidate in the fall election. Hert said the club is back of Governor Leslie in ousting Coffin henchmen from the state pay roll. William Edwards, former public service commission employe, the first Coffin man to feel the Leslie ax, is Coffin’s First ward chairman.

PLAYWRIGHTS SOLVE ANOTHER MYSTERY “Out of the Night” Turns Out to Be Good Entertainment In Hands of the Berkell Players Here. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE playwrights have killed another man and as usual they solve the mystery. * The job is done in “Out of the Night,” a mystery comedy, by Harold Hutchinson and Margery Williams, which is the week’s offering of the Berkell Players at English’s. We are concerned this time in the murder of Robert Hartwell in his Maine state lodge. We find his murdered body near the end of the first act and he is brought back to life near the close of the third act by the means of the flashback to show us just how the murder was done. You know my rule, I do not tell you the story or the solution of murder

mystery plays. I would not want any one to tip me off and I take it that you want to discover the mur-

der e r yourself. “Out cf the Night” is not a brilliant affair, as few murder myste r y plays are. There is a lot of mystery business which gives one a thrill and a shock or two. And the ending is entirely different than you would suspect. The acting hongrs this week go to two men Earle Jameson as Ichabod Blivens, the

i

Mary Louise Walker

silly constable, who is actually funny in his dumbness, and, to Harold Wilson, as Captain Monohan, a police officer. Wilson keeps up the mystery tempo when he lands on the stage and Jameson

puts over his co nedy strokes with a sure knowledge Df the stage. James Blaine as -Tom Holland gives a pleasar.t performance although the demand upon his talents is not great. Miss Mary Louise Walker gives a nice performance as the girl who is bent upon solving the mystery. Others in the cast include Arline Althoff, Robert Blakeslee, Raymond Appleby, Doward Harvey, Harry Hoxworth and Beatrice Savelle. All the action takes place in one scene which is more than adequate. It has been done in good taste. The lights didn’t cue right at times on the opening night, but I know that this has been corrected long before you read this. “Out of the Night” is entertaining mystery theater. At English’s all week. LOOKING OVER* * NEW VARIETY BILL I have never been interested in the hokum offering “Amateur Nite

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In London” for several reasons. It is not comedy to me to see actors make themselves act ridiculous in giving an extreme performance. I may be all out of step with this act, but I do not even consider it fair entertainment. Talent is talent and I do not care to have it made worse than it should be. Here is one of the most tiresome acts I have ever seen. I have my own opinion and you have the same. The bill at the Lyric this week runs too much to hokum comedy. A class act would have no chance on this bill. Leonid Martov, a fair

I Everymove counts H when you uses [I Kitchen Klenzer if and cleaning worries are soon over r

Russian baritone, attempts to sing songs heard on the concert stage. It just can not be done on a hokum bill regardless of what possible merit the linger has. O’Dette, Charles and Mack increase the hokum quality of the bill. The alleged travesty of the two men in this act on Russian dancing is very sad. Walmsley and Keating also have a hokum offering,, good in spots because of the extreme eccentric work of the man. Just fair dancing is offered by Lowe and Sargent in their radio idea revue. Penny, Reed and Gold

have a corking good comedy introduction and their comedy work along the lines of a ventriloquist is good. Probably the only real solid hit act on the entire bill. The movie is “United States Smith.” At the Lyric all week.
