FOX TO LEARN FATE OF FILM HOLDINGS SOON Federal Judge Slated to Make Ruling Thursday on Bankruptcy. B-u Vnited Press NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—William Fox will kqow Thursday whether the Fox Film Corporation and the Fox Theaters Corporation, which he founded, are to go into receivership or continue under a reorganization plan. After hearing of the reorganization plan, involving $65,000,000 in securities, which has the approval of Fox and the majority of the board of directors of both corporations, Federal Judge Frank J. Coleman expressed the opinion that receivership was the only alternative to the new financing scheme. The financing plan was announced by Robert T. Swain, attorney for a group of bankers, consisting of Lehman Brothers, Dillon, Read & Cos. and the Bank of America. It is proposed the film corporation Issue $40,000,000 worth of 7 per cent debentures. Twenty per cent of the net earnings of the debentures would be set aside for the redemption of the debentures at a premium of 10 per cent for the first three years, 7 H per cent for the next three years and thereafter at •" oer cent. n addition, $25,000,000 would be raised by the issue of 7 per cent cumulative preferred stock, convertible into Class A common stock. The underwriting syndicate’s commission would be 9 per cent. An issue of $40,000,000 of securities of the theaters corporation also is called for under the bankers’ plans. Objections to the plan were made by attorneys for the stockholders on the ground that it is “too costly for the corporation.” Judge Coleman adjourned the hearings until Thursday, when one course or the other probably will be taken.

SKINNER WILL OPEN THURSDAY NIGHT Noted Star Comes to English’s in “Papa Juan,” Under His Own Management, for Three Days. OTIS SKINNER is said to give the finest portrayal in detail of characterization, of any role presented by him during the fifty odd years he has been an actor, in the part of Papa Juan, in the play of the same name, in which he will be seen at English’s the last three nights of this week. This play was produced for the first time in this country at the Harris theater in Chicago, April 22 of last year, and it ran there for a period of ten weeks, which shows that the public of Chicago liked it and Mr. Skinner as the old Spaniard of the play. He is said to have a fine cast and a production. No more than twelve

characters are represented, but each one is a character study in itself. The Quinteros of Madrid, who wrote the play, are remarkably adept in drawing their characters true to life among those who people the smaller villages of Spain. a a tt Ethel Barrymore will close her engagement by giving two performances at English’s in “The Love Duel.” tt tt tt Other theaters today offer: Frances Kennedy at the Lyric, "Burning Up” at the Indiana, “Behind the Makeup” at the Circle, “Show of Shows” at the Ohio, “Chasing Rainbows” at the Palace, “Happy Days” at the Apollo, burlesque at the Mutual, “Daring Damsels” at the Rialto, “Steppin’ High” at the Colonial, and movies at the Granada. $832 for Flood Relief nu Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE Ind..

‘l’m Chuck’

“No, He’s Not,’ Says Real Wiggins, ‘but I Can Lick Him/

“OUCH is fame.” o A man shot and wounded I at Columbus, 0., Tuesday night, when he attempted to beat up a i police officer, claimed to be Chuck Wiggins, Indianapolis | pugilist. But Wiggins, from a hotel room here, denied being shot. “I don’t know who the fellow is who claims to be me and I don’t want to know', “Wiggins, familiarly known as “the Hoosier play boy,” declared, “but I can lick | him.’* The man -wounded in Columbus j was shot when, with another j man, he was stopped by PatrolI man W. J. Terrell of that city, after all policemen in Columbus had been ordered to halt all suspicious characters on the street after a lunch stand holdup there. When Patrolman Terrell stopped the two men, one grabbed the officer’s night stick and slugged him with it. The second drew a revolver, it is alleged, and Patrolman Terrell fired one shot. The Columbus wounded man declared he fought Billy Duke to Chicago last week, getting $25,000 for the battle, and had gone to Columbus “to drink it up.” Indianapolis police believe the wounded man to be Wiggins when first reports were received at 2 this morning, but found Wiggins in his hotel. Wiggins last was in the public eye when he was arrested charged with assaulting a police officer in a local hotel, Byrd Ship Runs Aground Bv T nitrrf Pres* AUCKLAND.

HOOVER BAITS HOOK TO LAND HUGEJAILFISH President Is Determined to Make Fighting Catch in Ocean. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Pres* Staff Correspondent LONG KEY, Fla., Feb. 12President Hoover is determined to land a fighting sail-fish even larger than the six-footer he caught Monday and selected the warm waters of the Gulf stream as the most likely spot to find it today. President Hoover’s determination was stimulated, perhaps, by the decision of the Long Key Fishing Club to mount his largest catch and hang it alongside the 125-pound monster sail-fish caught here by Zane Grey twelve years ago. The President's first sail-fish, weighing forty-five pounds has been skinned and sent to a taxidermist. It will be hung in the lodge unless President Hoover hooks a larger one. one. President Hoover’s spot today Is in the Atlantic ocean, about six miles east of here. The warm Gulf stream waters there are said by local Izaak Waltons to abound in sail-fish. These giants, characterized by a sail-like group of fins arising a foot or more from their backs, put up the stiflest fight of any game fish around here, fishermen say. Often three hours or more is consumed in playing them before they, exhausted, can be dragged into a boat. President and Mrs. Hoover fished together Tuesday in a salt-water creek eighteen miles above here. They hoped to land a number of red snappers, mackerel and other fish for their houseboat larder. They caught only one mackerel, but brought in three barracudas and four bonitas. The latter two species are not table fish.

On the parrot’s cage was a note which read: “It breaks my heart to give Caesar up, but my husband and children are afraid of parrot fever.” “Well, on my doorstep and now an orphan,” said Sullivan. “Doorstep orphan,” agreed Caesar, “where do we go from here?”
