Lynhurst, the tiny Indianapolis suburban town with two alleged treasurers and a scandal growing out of SSOO in borrowed funds, is going to lose at least $23 of town money as a result of the investigation of its books to be conducted Tuesday by the state board of accounts. Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state, board of accounts, declared today an examination could not be made for less than that sum. Examiners get $12.50 a day, paid by the governmental unit being examined, and Orr has assigned both Thad Major and Ure Frazer, field examiners, to the work. Examination was asked by C. C. Smith, 306 Gerard drive, one of the alleged treasurers. Major set the date for Tuesday on the grounds he had to have time to locate Lynhurst, It is a thirtytwo family, less than fifteen-acre, incorporated town, less than a year old. located just west of this city. 4-H CLUB GROUPS TO ATTEND STATE FAIR

BUDDY ROGERS HAS TARKINGTON ROLE Youngster of the Movies Grows Up Into a Pretty Good Sort of Romantic Talking Actor at the Indiana. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN ALL young actors seem to feel that it is an honor to have a chief role in a Booth Tarkington story. Although “Magnols.'’ by Tarkington, did not click on Broadway as a play, at least two movies have been made of this play. It was done some years ago as a silent movie and now it has been brought to the talking screen under the title of “The River Romance.'’ I might tell you that Charles < Buddy) Rogers has given up his campus ways and has settled down to the job of being a romantic talking actor in one film at least.
You probably will have the feeling that Rogers is not quite suited to the role of a southern lad who lefused to fight another southern
gentleman, and when turned out of his home began a career of a bad gambler and a tough fighter who scared his victims about half to death by his voice and the bragging of his companion, splendidly played in a comedy way by Wallace Beery. The ham and egg scenes staged by Beery and Rogers are done with a
Buddy Rogers
fine comedy understanding of the talking screen. Buddy grows sideburns and a mustache, said to be the first that he has ever supported. Rogers looked dashing enough in his costume of old southern days, but the voice doesn’t carry the conviction of sure death that Tarkington intended. He handles his love scenes with Mary Brian in a fine, romantic way. You probably will agree with me that Wallace Beery walks away with the comedy honors. Some of the conversation rather drags until Beery gets into action in the first gambling house scene. It is then that the story gets red-blooded and interesting. It is an all-talker. The photography is splendid, direction able with the exception of the start of the picture. You recall that Stuart Walker did this play at Keith’s one season. I missed the stage show because it was necessary for me to get the picture in advance because I was out of town over the week-end looking over Chicago shows and Ravinia opera. The stage show is callled “Castle of Dreams.” Now at the Indiana until Friday.
DRESSER WALKS AWAY WITH HONORS j Although Dolores Costello is cast ■as the good little girl who broke out of a fashionable girl's school, got mix 1 up with a handsome rum runner nd a devil with the gals, | it is Louise Dresser, as her mother, I "ho ran a gin dump and a ques- [ tionable house but posed as a Park | avenue woman of wealth to her own | daughter as well as the heads of I the fashionable school, who walks I away with the acting honors. I Miss Dresser gives an honest and ! a realistic portrayal of a women
who tried to be an honest as well as a. fashionable mother to her daughter.' As the grand dame who does not even let her own daughter know the bad racket she is in, Miss Dresser is just aloof enough and restrained enough to put over the impression that she is a grand woman. She keeps her daughter for years in a fashionable

j school, determined that the girl will never know the truth about her j mother. i But the girl breaks out mildly, ; gets caught by the federal raiders at a time she was visiting the rum boat thinking that it was a government boat. Her boy friend deceived her about his real profession, but | admitted that the government “was i interested" in the boat. Grant I Withers is the boy friend and what | a great performance he gives. These 1 singing and talking movies are all o. k. for Grant because he knows how to talk and sing. This boy is j bound to be a great favorite. The performance of Miss Dresser ! in her suicide scene is masterful. In fact, she really makes one be- | lieve that it is the only way out to save her daughter from a ruined married life. Miss Costello as the sweet, young I innocent girl at the fashionable i boarding school looks the part, acts jit and talks it. She is a very interesting young woman when she ! falls in love with Withers and gets mixed up in the rum raid. She is the pathetic little thing and remains that way when she discovers the truth regarding her mother. Fine acting on her part. Although as fine as is the work of Miss Costello, it is the work of Miss Dresser that you will remember “Madonna of Avenue A" as interesting and well acted theater. It is an all-talker. And the talking is right. The picture has been wisely directed. Now at the Apollo. LEWIS STONE TIRES ' OF A CERTAIN WOMAN You probably never would suspicion Lewis Stone of being a great lover but he is all that and a very temperamental one in j "Wonder of Women." It seems to be the fad just now for directors to east some of their leading male stars as tempera-

1 mental pianists, composers and symphony orchestra directors. Stone is cast as a German pianist and composer who marries the wrong woman. That is he
thought she was the wrong woman for him. Eva. his wife, was one of those women who had several children by a former marriage. She loved the children as dearly as she loved her new husband. She was too careful with him. In trying to please and protect his genius, she only irritated him to such an extent that he had many affairs, one
'
especially with a great singer. Eva is played by Peggy Wood. Miss Wood gives a poweiful representation of a wife who went to her death not complaining. In fact, she is so exacting in her work that she probably will get on your nerves, just as she did Stephen Thomholt, played by Stone. The composer did not realize that Eva was his inspiration until after her death. Then it was too late. The only thing he could do then was to refuse to play around with any of his grand women friends. Leila Hyams is cast as the opera singer, who thought that she was Stephen’s inspiration. Nice work, rather vampish in spots. Other notables in the cast are Harry Myers, Sarah Padden ar.d George Fawcett. Sounds very near like a legitimate cast. “Wonder of Women” is silent as to talking in the first part and becomes a talker toward the last. They all know how to talk. The story is often too sentimental. It will get the tears. Not a world beater as a movie, but the cast is worth \ ; le. The bill includes the first of the “Our Gang” talkers. Nice fun. And these youngsters can talk. The children will love this one. Now at Loew’s Palace. (By Observer.)
LOOKING OVER CIRCLE FEATURE MOVIE Big things were expected of Billie Boyle in the talkies. But as yet nothing big has happened, and “The Man and the Moment”' is her second talking picture. I am inclined to think the directors rely too much upon Miss Dove’s fatal beauty, which is not at all fair to her. “The Man and the Moment,” taken from the book by Elinor Glyn, is a story purely of the Glyn type,
with its wild parties and high life among the rich society set. The man in this picture is Rod La Rocque This is the first time I have heard Mr. La Rcoque’s speaking voice. It registers very clear and distinct, which is much in his favor. Love certainly has a funny way of acting on some people, as proven
Billie Dove
by the actions of Billie and Rod. Some of the scenes are not fay from ridiculous. For instance, Billie swims home from Rod’s yacht with very few clothes on. and is turned out by her guardian, without even being permitted to put something around her. Then, too, other scenes are too overdrawn. When Rod is making love to Billie on the yacht, he has for an aid a group of singing Hawaiians, but why the sea gulls or what help they had in his love making, I do r.ot know, unless perhaps it was mating time. Still the picture is not without some interesting moments. When Rod proposes, you can not help but smile at some of the questions and answers with which they finally decide to marry, not for love, but for freedom. Billie to be free of her cruel guardian and Rod of a blonde mama, who is after his money. The boat-polo game in the beginning of the story is rather spectacular in its appeal. While the undersea ball is something a little different from the ordinary. Beyond doubt, “The Man and the Moment" is good box office Not only the title has appeal to the general mass of theatergoers, but also the names of Elinor Glyn, Billie Dove and Rod La Rocque. Aside from this I personally can see no good reason for this film unless it

SHIFT BLAME FOR SMUGGLING BORDER LIQUOR American and Canadian Officials Charge Each Other With Fault, Bv Bcrlvm-Hoicard Ketcspaver Alliance WASHINGTON. July 29. Hope of an agreement for halting the rum trade on the northern border was farther off than ever today as prohibition authorities of each country tried to lay the blame for conditions on the other. The reaction here was distinctly unfavorable to the statement of W. D. Euler. Canadian minister of interior, that changes in American navigation laws would check rum running and also induce Canada to impose further restrictions. Euler asserted almost 100 per cent of the smugglers were Americans, and It was incumbent on the United States to tighten its enforcement net. Blames Small Ships Most of the contraband, the Canadian official said, is carried in small American ships which are not required to obtain clearance papers. It is his opinion that amendment of the navigation laws to force these craft to take out papers would eliminate most of them. He also declared Canada might grant our prohibition authorities’ long-standing request to refuse clearance to liquor-laden ships bound for American ports if the change were made. For the present, however, he said it was almost entirely an American problem to be cared for by measures that could be taken by the treasury 7 or congress. Discounts Value of Plan Prohibition Commissioner Doran countered with the statement conditions were not as described by Euler. Though ships under five tons are not so carefully watched as larger vessels, Doran said they had to have clearance papers. It is the opinion of treasury officials such a step as Euler proposes would not help much. Moreover, it was denied Americans alone were in the rum-running business. Bootleggers give fictitious names when they are caught and rarely furnish correct information as to their ship, home port or their citizenship, according to American officials. Several rum ship skippers have shown a sense of humor by using such names as “Lincoln C. Andrews,” the name of the former “dry czar,” and other high enforcement officials. Data collected from those in the smuggling game, it was pointed out, is extremely unreliable. No attempt to carry out Euler’s ideas will be made, according to American officials.

Radio RADIO TROUBLE IN GREENFIELD 1 DUE TOTREES Power and Traction Lines Also Contribute to Bad Reception. Several letters have been received by the Times radio interference engineer from Greenfield, Ind, complaining of the many interferences the fans are having in different locations of that city and asking that he aid them in finding and clearing up the troubles so that reception can be enjoyed as in the past. The Times engineer made a complete test survey In Greenfield and surrounding territory, including the power lines running in and out of the city and the interurban lines passing through. In this check many cases of grief were revealed by The Times interference car, but due to the shortness of the check, W. A. Jacoby stated he had only time to map out the different types of interference and their locations, so that at a later date the source of each individual case will be revealed through a thorough survey of these troublesome districts. Interference in Greenfield in many cases in the residence district' was caused by power lines running through trees. In many instances; tree limbs were found to have grounded power lines, causing a loss of current to the power company-, and an interference to the radio user. Another troublesome case was found along the traction line pass-* ing through Greenfield. Cars could be heard approaching and leaving the town, this proving that the grounding system is in poor condition, as the same cars were checked in Indianapolis and found to be in good mechanical condition. Numerous other cases of interference were revealed in all sections of Greenfield such as filling station air pumps, motors and traffic signals control boxes.
