‘PREP STEP’ IS NEW DANCING CRAZEJN CITY Talking Picture Introduced Combined Ballroom and Stage Figure. And now the “Prep Step ’ craze has struck Indianapolis. To determine this, one has only to spend a few minutes in the Indiana Roof ballroom, according to Tcm Devine, the general manager, who states that the new dance is sweeping to popularity In an almost unprecedented manner. “Prep Step,’’ he explained, is the title given to anew and fast series of dance steps, which are being adopted almost over-night since the release of “Sweetie,” motion picture in which Helen Kane, Jack Oakie and a score of other youths do the routine in a collegiate scene. "The quick popularity of the dance is little short of amazing,” said Devine, “and our instructors are kept busy showing how it is done. And to say that it is .creating anew vogue in dancing is putting it mildly. “There probably hasn't been a dance more spectacular since the advent of the Charleston several years ago. The Prep Step is easiest described as a happy medium between a stage routine and a fast ballroom dance. “It has taps, fast turns, stamps, low dips and appealing walks. An adept couple at the routine can afford entertainment for the most exacting and dancers seem pretty nearly unanimous in the opinion that they like this better than any new dance for years.” Devine, who last year predicted that ballroom dancing the world over would be affected by the music of synchronized pictures, pointed

Start New Dance Craze

Although unintentionally, Jack Oakie and Helen Kane have started anew dance craze the nation over. It is “Prep Step,” a dance routine which the two do in their new motion picture release, “Sweetie.” Oakie is a well-known stage and screen star, while Miss Kane is the “boopa, boop” recording artist who sang her way to world-wide fame with such numbers as “That's My Weakness Now.”

out that this is only another example of the influence that presentday films are having on the country. “Take the picture ’Sweetie’ for example,” he said. “Jack Oakie, one of the leading characters, probably is the most popular young comedian of the day, so far as the movies are concerned. Playing opposite him in the picture is Helen Kane, the recording artist, who made a world-wide reputation with such songs as ’That's My Weakness Now,’ Get Out And Get Under The Moon.’ and others. “It fell to the lot of these two to do the Prep Step in the picture so that alone assured its popularity. With two such celebrities doing the dance before some fifty million movie fans, the result hardly could have been otherwise.” The Indiana Roof ballroom manager stated it probably will be necessary to make some arrangements for handling large classes in

the “Prep Step” if its popularity continues to grow. WORLEY IS BOOSTED Reappointment of Police Chief Is Urged. Letters to several Indianapolis business men recommending the reappointment of Claude M. Worley as police chief by Mayor-elect Reginald H. Sullivan are being sent by Andrew J. Allen, secretary of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis. Allen asserted that the letters are being sent by him as an individual and not as a representative of the employers’ organization. The population of the earth is said to double itself every 250 years.

The wind, which reached a velocity of seventy-two miles an hour in London, and as high as eightyfive miles in other sections, tossed and battered ships on the channel throughout the night. The Belgin government steamship Jan Breydel, with seventy-two passengers aboard, was forced to anchor near Dunkirk because of ruc.der trouble. It was lashed by waves thirty feet high all night. Thirty ships were in shelter off Ramsgate, unable to ride the hurricane seas of the channel. The giant British dirigible R-101, moored at Cardington, faced a gale of eighty-three miles an hour. The entire crew was summoned aboard the ship and it rode the storm splendidly, the air ministry announced. HONOR JEWISH CHIEF City B'nai B'rith Chapter to Entertain Cohen.
