Walker Theater Review

With sparkle, dazzle, and elaborate stage setting in keeping with its title. “High Speed” at the Walker this week, becomes the premiere production of the famous Whitman Sisters, of musical comedy fame. The writer saw the performance Monday night while seated with Mabel Whitman. who has spent a useful life developing one of the cleanest, larges* and most talented aggregations or Negro actors. Mabel is more of a mother than director of the entire group. 'High Speed” is built, around the personalities of both Alice and Bert, the Whitman dancer*. After years of popular acclaim, in their eccentric dance skit, these girls are still the beloved favorites of their public everywhere. When Bernice Ellis sang, “Macushla,” she registered in easier and sweeter harmony than was her effort of last week.

PLEA IS VOICED THAT ROMES BE GIVEN CHILDREN 541 Dependents Reported in Institutions of Marion County. A plea for good homes and sos- ! ter parents for at least some of thq, 541 dependent children in Marion county institutions is voiced by Secretary John A. Brown of the state board of charities, in a report on dependents made public today. “Many of these children are bright and capable,” Brown's report states, and continues, “they ! ought not to be in institutions. The | state board of charities will be glad I to communicate with anyone willing to give one of them a home. There were 2.572 children in fos- | ter homes throughout the state on September 30. 1928, according to a ! survey just completed by the chil- | dren's department of the state board I of charities and incorporated in tlie j secretary’s report. The survey covers the last thirty-one years, •within that period (from 1897) in addition to regular visiting of children in foster homes, which is their main activity, the state agents

themselves have found homes lor 5,138 children, according to Brown. Os every 100 placed, seventy-one did not appear again on the records as dependent children. Three hundred forty-nine have been adopted and 376 still are being visited. Each one of the 2.572 children in foster homes was visited by a state agent at least once during the year. Altogether, 2,700 visits were made, and in only 2.4 per cent of the eases were conditions surrounding the children found unsatisfactory, the report states. Os these 2.572 children, 376 were placed by the state department and 2.196 by the county boards and institutions. In addition to the children in sos- | ter homes, there were 2.150 on the mothers’ allowance lists of the ; boards of children's guardians on 1 Sept. 30, 1928. This last group has been increasing steadily since enactment of the 1923 amendment to the board of guardians law, according to Brown. At the same time, there has been a steady growth in the population of children’s institutions and in the number of children made public wards year by year. Between 1923 and 1928 there was an increase of 33.8 per cent in the population of the children’s institutions and of 46 per. cent in the number of children made public wards. The argument frequently advanced that a mothers’ aid law would decrease the institution population has not been proved, it is pointed out.
