QUIRK OF FATE SAVES PAIR IN ODD ACCIDENT Runaway Freight Crashes Into Office; Occupants Out Temporarily. Two men narrowly escaped death or serious injury Wednesday when a runaway freight car crashed through the wall of a brick building housing the Niman Transfer Company, 620 South Senate avenue.

The escape of Frank E. Richey, 705 North New Jersey street, bookkeeper, was due to his desire to wash his hands. While he was out of the office, the crash occurred and his chair was demolished. Damage to office fixtures and the building was estimated at $2,000. Two Hit-Run Victims Their automobile sideswiped Wednesday night by a truck driven by a hit-and-run driver.

‘PARADE OF WOODEN SOLDIERS’ IS ON BILL Balieff Will Include Famous Number of His First Edition ' at English’s Starting Monday Night. SINCE the Russian revolution in 1906 a great deal has been written about Russia. It is estimated that if the energy expended in pounding typewriter keys on the subject could be converted into horsepower it would be sufficient to propel a 45,000 ton battleship at the rate of eighteen knots an hour continuously for the next twenty years. Yet, despite all these tons of manuscript, how much do we really ! know about Russia—the real Russia that thinks, and dreams and laughs! Not much really. You can't understand an alien race by reading books about them or studying statistics about them. You must some how forget of language and race and custom, and meet them as men affti women, find out j -

what they laugh about and what they think is beautiful. And it is in the realm of art—any art—that the world speaks this common language. It is a common meeting ground; but perhaps it is the drdma which provides it most conspicuously. For the drama is a public art. It is said that in Russia, under Lenin, the theater is the one medium of expression which has been left unmuzzled. They have said what they liked on the stage, wnile newspapers have been suppressed and novelists shot at sunrise. Only in the theater is Russia her old self, her real self, and that is the Russia the world wants to know about. So it was really a most important thing that Morris Gest did when he brought Balieff's thoroughly Russian “Chauve-Souris” to this country. , Nothing could be more subtly expository of the much misunderstood land than this essentially impromptu Greenwich Village of Moscow, which comes to English’s Mpnday night, Oct. 21, for an engagement of one week. The entertainment originated in the Little Bat restaurant in Moscow, where the actors of the town used

to gather after the evening's work and devise stunts to amuse themselves. The fame of these exclusive little shows spread, and finally the public was admitted to see them, and Balieff’s Bat theater became a fad. It is almost all in Russian, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Somehow, even through* this bizarre language, its wild gayety blazes its way. It is strapge, foreign, but it is gay. During the first phenomenal run of Balieff’s “Chauve-Souris” of a year and four months on Broadway,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

thousands went to see this remarkable revue. Since then it has toured America no less than five times under the direction of Morris Gest. And now, direct from recent triumphs in l%ris and New York, it comes to Indianapolis, and you wall find—Russia herself. You will see in the inimitable Balieff that Russia has her Ed Wynn; in the “Wooden Soldiers” her Fred Stone, and in the many sprightly numbers a sort of miniature “Music Box Revue” and there is a reminder that ftussia has, and likes, her jazz. In other words, you will find the Russia that laughs, and laughter is always laughter, no matter where it is found. a a a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “The Argvle Case” at the Lyric, "Illusion” at the Indiana. “Why Bring That Up?” at the Circle, "Street Girl” at the Ohio,' “Fast Company” at the Granada, “The Unholy Night” at the Palace, “Say It With Songs” at the Apollo. “Hello Paree” at the Mutual, and moviesat the Colonial. English’s is dark until Monday, when “Chauve-Souris” opens.
