TIMES GOLDEN RULE MOVIE DUE AT LYRIC Several Thousand Indianapolis Children to Be Seen on the Screen Saturday in “Forward Pass.” THERE are three outstanding features on the Lyric show which will begin its week's epgagement at the Illinois street playhouse Saturday afternoon. The personal appearance of Tom Brown and his brothers at the head of a stage show is one ' Big Time,” an all-taiking feature picture, is number two, and “Forward Pass,” The Indianapolis Times-Golden Rule Safety Club movie, with all local kiddle cast, is the third. It was Tom Brown who put the saxophone over on helpless America. He was the first to really play the “sax” and despite neighborhood horror and even police interference, he persisted in playing it and finally per-

sistency, combined with that peculiar mental make-up that considers the saxophone music, won. Just to prove that he is original, Tom will, when he appears at the Lyric next week, display and claim ownership of the first saxophone ever made. Adolphe Sax, from whom the horn derives its name,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ists, gave a concert before the king of Norway. The king in appreciation, presented the saxophone to Dr. Wav ner and he, upon his return, made his friend Tom Brown a present of the treasure. The sax is silver, hand-hammered and almost human in its soprano tones. Tom has it insured for $5,000, carries it all over the country under his arm and buries it, together with an affidavit establishing its authenticity, under his pillow nights. Tom, as the head of the Six Bror.’n Brothers, will play it at every performance here during his engagement at the Lyric. Among the other stage features are to be found Kelly and Jackson in a comedy playlet called “Oh May.” in which Dolores Griffin, a pretty singer and dancer is featured. E. and Jey McCrea open the show with an arerial novelty, “Up She Goes.” While “Big Time,” the all-talking drama, is hailed as a back stage story, it is said to be one of unusual human interest and well spiced with comedy. Lee Tracy,

late star of "Broadway” and of “The Front Page,” New York stage productions, and Mae Clarke, another favorite from Broadway, play the leading roles. Daphne Pollard, Josephine Dunn, and Stepin Fetchit are at the head of a notable supporting cast. “Signals” and the Panthers and Bearcats are off in the big football game of the year, which is a feature of “Forward Pass.” The Indianapolis Times Golden Rule Safety Club movie, which is to be shown at the Lyric on this bill.
