BIG DOWNTOWN COLISEUM BOOM AGAIN LAUNCHED Mayor Sullivan Asked for Eady Consideration of Proposal. The question of constructing a hug#* downtown coliseum for Indianapolis has been raised again at city hall by William L. Elder, prominent Democrat, and realtor. In a recent conference with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, Elder asked that early consideration be given the proposal, discussed for several years, and reaching its height under the administration of John L. Duval), ousted mayor, after the state legislature authorized cities to build coliseums. Duvall Named Board Duvall set up a city coliseum board headed by J, Edward Krause, owner of the Washington hotel for several years, who has sponsored the coliseum movement in co-operation with ‘lie Chamber of Commerce and convention bureau. The coliseum board studied types of buildings in use in other cities and gathered data on downtown sites. Before a site was agreed upon the reins of government were turned over to L. Ert, Slack, who filled out Duvall's unexpired term, and the coliseum idea was pigeonholed. “I'm not going to do anythin about, a coliseum or any other majo: expenditure until I know something about it. It, would be nice to have a coliseum if Indianapolis could afford it," said Sullivan, citing the fact that the city already has the state fairground auditorium, Cadle Tabernacle and Tomlinson hall for public gatherings. Expenditure $3,000,000 The original Idea was to erect a spacious building on a downtown block, the total expenditure amounting to more than $3,000,000. Under the statute, the city could buy a site and lease it to an operating company, or rent, the building with an option to buy, attorneys say. With the city’s bonding margin, at, approximately $3 000.000, it is thought unlikely that the Sullivan administration would give serious consideration to such a major project a t this. time. Elder told the mayor that he had no site in mind and didn't care where the building is located, except he believed it should be downtown Advocates of the large building for public gatherings contend that its construction is essential to boost the reputation of Indianapolis as a convention city.

AN OFF COUSIN IS THIS ONE OF VICTOR ‘Hot for Paris’ Is a Long Shot From the Dizzy Heights Reached Once Before on the Talking Screen. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. RATHER like to consider “Hot For Paris" a long shot away from the thing that it should be. I expected much better from Victor McLaglen and El Brendel after seeing them in “The Cock-Eyed World.” Somebody got It into his brain that these two\could get the coin through the box office by some more team work. And so they took a story of no account, mixed it with some broad burlesque with double meaning, tossed in a dame by the name of Fist Dorsay with a lot of movements, then bunched a lot of dancing dames for no reason whatsoever—that is "Hot For Paris.”

And why in the world they want McLaglen to sing or attempt it Is beyond me. It Is a box office title and enough of that, double meaning joke stuff to put it across In conversation cr word by mouth talk. To me the production is cheap and a far cry from that real hit “The Cock-Eyed World.” This ‘“Hot for Paris” thing is lust another attempt to go as far as possible in the realm of double meaning burlesque. When the

brains of the | comedians goes dry the director j tosses in a flock ! of dames to twist the like. My opinion is ! hat “Hot for : Paris” is an off | jusin of “The I Cock - Eyed World.” Here is \ '.resent some stuff hat is double j meaning and not j to good. It doesn’t go far enough to be indecent nor is it clever enough to

Victor McLaglen

set the world on fire. Again have your own opinion of "Hot f<3r Paris.” I have mine. You have yours. This may be the “kick” picture of your life. It may be the burlesque of the movies. The new day in what have you. Think it over, I have. Now at the Apollo. a a a “YES, SURE, CERTAINLY” SAVES DAY FOR “KIBITZER” “Yes, sure, certainly.” These are the w'ords of the old Jew, the kibitzer's brother. The kibitzer is the role played by Harry Green in the

picture, “Kibitzer.” These are the only words the old man can say. And luckily he says them at the right time. It saves the day for Harry. Green plays the type of man that gives out oil sorts of advice, but really does anything himself. Funny. Well. I laughed and plenty. If you go to see this picture and

Harry Green

do not laugh, at least three or four times, I think my advice would be go see a doctor. At the races Green is a riot. Nobody can keep him from the front lines, and if he desires to borrow the man's field glasses next to him, he I just reaches out and takes them. When he goes to visit Mr. ; Livingston, a man made wealthy by ! the stock market, he askes the i servant to bring in some dishes. You I see. he wanted to find out if they were made of solid gold, such as he had read about in the magazines. To his great disappointment, they were not gold. But when Green gets in the stock 1 market, himself, then the run really ! starts. The excitement of the ticker, I he has placed in his cigar store, proves to be almost too much for him. He becomes suddenly rich, ; and then when the market falls he ; is right back where he started. B\h he isn’t really at all. In the excitement the telephone rings unnoticed to all. except the old Jew, his brother. He answers the phone, and says his three words “Yes, sure, certainly.” The party on the other j end is Green’s advisor, and he askes it if is all right to sell the stock. And all this when the stock is at it’ss highest point. The love interest in this comedy is furnished by Mary Brian, as Green's daughter, and Neil Hamilton. an ambitious garage mechanic. Harry Green proves himself a very apt comedian in this picture. He is funny, and I think you will I agree with me. The stage show, “Sky Harbor,” | though nothing sensational, is good entertainment. The high spot here is Hershel Henlere, who proves himself very clever on the piano. Separate from the stage revue Charlie Davis and his band are presented in a sketch called “Fifteen Minutes of Whoopie.” Charlie and his boys entertain, and they really do. Good work, Charlie, do it again sometime. Enjoyed every minute of | the fifteen. Other features are Dessa Byrd in an organ solo and Newsreel. This week at the Indiana until Friday.

in a strange role which will give you the creeps; great acting on the part of Roland Young as to the spoken word and the great idea of getting one all confused. “The Bishop Murder Case” is a beautiful attempt on the whole, w’ith some lost motion, to give you an entertaining experience in mystery. When the murderer and the cause of all the trouble is really found, you will be surprised. This sort of a story is hard to do. I had many thrills and a bunch of chills. Rather jolly, chilly fun. Here Is lot of mysterious fun in the theater. I recommend “The Bishop Murder Case” as corking entertainment. Now at Loew’s Palace. “Sally” Is in its second week at the Circle.

SLASHES ARM, DIES City Salesman Kills Self in Hammond Hotel. Paul H. Chester, 38, Wesley hotel, 1559 North Capitol avenue, committed suicide by slashing his left wrist with a safety razor in a room at the Savoy hotel, Hammond, Sunday night.

Chester had contracted a serious fever while serving with the United States army in Haiti, which left him in a weakened, nervous condition, she said. Besides the widow he is survived by his father, A. M. Chester of Hall Summit, Kan., and a sister, Mrs. Gilbert Nettleton of Ashtabula, O. The body probably will be taken to Ohio for burial.

Amelita Galii-Curci, one of the greatest of modern opera singers, believes that grand opera is “slow, old fashioned—out of the spirit of the times.” On the eve of her departture from this field of musical endeavor, the noted Metropolitan opera star presented some pointed views regarding the compatibility of modern times and grand opera. “I think a good, snappy show is more enjoyable in 1930.” she said. “Grand opera belongs to another age. It will survive. Grand opera is being carried along by its inertia. It has lost its living interest.” Given Audience by King Bv United Press MADRID, Jan. 20.—Professor William Shepherd of Columbia university, New York, in an audience with King Alfonso discussed the proposed creation of a course in American history, which he will direct in the University of Seville.

Hips, Thighs Should Be Reduced Until Correct Proportions Are Effected

f I r .r* f

BY JAC AUER Written for NEA Service ONE of the first steps in “rounding the 1930 curves” consists in reducing the hips and thighs until they are of the desired proportions. New standards of beauty in feminine figures call for curved contours, it is true, but they should be only slightly curved. The hipline should avoid excessive fullness; tiie thigh, heaviness. Moreover, the body should have a lilt to it that can come only from suppleness. There are several exercises that take off the flesh and limber up the body until it is thoroughly supple. All of these hip and thigh reducing exercises that really are efficacious aer done on the floor. The best exercise to start with is called the “side-scissors.” It should be done as follows: 1. Stretch out on the floor, on your right side, with your right arm extended as far above your head

MAYOR PROMISES ‘HANDS OFF’ POLICY

Sullivan to Take No Part in County Primary Election Race. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan will maintain a “hands off” policy in the spring primary preceding the county election this fall, he said today, nipping reports that he is endeavoring to build a city hall political machine. “They’re all welcome,.to run. I’ll be neither for nor against them. I never have dictated nominations and don’t want to begin now,” Sullivan said. Several candidates for county posts have sought Sullivan’S support in recent conferences. “I suppose the city hall folks will vote sixty different ways but I'm not going to try to dictate what they shall do. “We’ll give Democrats jobs at city hall, of course. I ran and was elected on the Democratic party ticket and the Republican precinct committeemen should give up their jobs to Democrats. When I have given Democratic workers their places I have discharged my responsibility to my party. There are some capable Republicans in positions requiring skill and of course they will remain,” Sullivan said. The new mayor is stampeded con-

Raise both legs an nich or two from the floor, and with a quick swing thrust the right leg back and the left leg forward as far as you can stretch both of them. Bring them together and repeat. 4. Turn onto your left side, stretch out your left arm and begin the exercise again, always swinging the under leg backward and the top leg forward. Begin this exercise with three “scissors strokes” on each side. Increase the number to five the second day, and by the third, take ten strokes on each side. No benefit accrues from overdoing exercises. Women are apt to rush into exercises enthusiastically, overdo them for a day or two, become lame, and stop altogether.

You may be one of the thousands with a low blood count—to this may be attributed “run-down” systems, skin troubles, and even more serious ailments. Did you know that every cubic millimeter of the normal, healthy person's blood should contain about 5,000,000 red corpuscles? They are the tiny red particles which give blood its color and are carriers of nourishment to the cells of the body. Rich, red blood wards off disease. It is very dangerous to let the blood count remain below normal. With an increase in the red-blood-cells you will be on the right road to Health. This is Nature’s way to body power and to clear skin. Naturally, with your strength restored, it is easier to fight disease and infection; to enjoy your food and to sleep soundly. When, firm flesh takes the place of that which was once flabby, you will feel strong—your nerves ■will become steady—more happiness and friends will follow. You owe it to yourself and friends to give S. S. S. a trial. It helps Nature build rich* red blood. For more than 100 years S.S.S. has been helping people regain and retain their strength and charm.
