MOTOR DERBY DIRECTOR CAN'T DRIVEHIS CAR Edenburn Refuses to Learn How to Pilot Auto, But Bosses Racers. The chauffeur at the wheel of the Oakland Eight In which W. D. (Eddie) Edenburn Is dashing about Indianapolis, arranging the countless details of the 500-noJe Memorial day motor derby, serves an entirely utilitarian purpose. Edenburn. whoee association with automobile racing, motor boat contests, speed trials or what have you, involves exactly twenty-two assorted titles, joh • and responsibilities, might be condoned for putting on the dog and treating himself to the luxury of a chauffeur. But the truth of the matter is that he can’t drive and refuses to learn. True, he probably is connected with more automobile activities than any other man in the world. Here are a few of them: Chief steward of the Indianapolis race and official representative there of the American Automobile Association contest board; zone supervisor for the A. A. A. contest board in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan; manager of the Michigan Automobile Trade association; vicepresident of the International Conference of State and Provincial Automobile Trade Association Managers; manager of the Detroit Automobile Dealers’ association, and member of the Detroit Automobile Club. Owns Two Autos Also, Edenburn is a former automobile editor and he owns two automobiles. But motoring just isn’t his personal sport. Years ago, about the time he first became an official of the Indianapolis race, back in 1911, he did a little unenthusiastic driving. But soon relinquished the wheel. Paradoxically, as his business interests became more and more closely identified with automobiles, he lost interest in driving. Now he says he's entirely forgotten how to drive. He has no objection to riding, as evidenced by the fact that he recently rode an Oakland Eight at more then eighty miles an hour while testing the Daytona speedway to determine whether the beach was in safe condition for Kay Don to attempt anew world’s record with his huge Silver Bullet car. Gives Him No K'ck “I get no kick out of taking the wheel myself,” he said. ‘‘lt leaves me cold.” Edenburn’s chief lieutenant at the Indianapolis race is J. B. Smith of Buffalo, second official representative of the contest board. The latter also rushes about Indianapolis on race business in an Oakland Eight, but he does his own driving. With Smith’s aid, Edenburn supervises an organization of about 150 men before and during the running of the big motor classic. Among this group are included the umpires, timers, expert scorers, members of

JUST A WORD FROM A MOVIE FAVORITE Mary Pickford Will Bring to the Screen a High National Character of the Very Old Days of Thought. FOR the first time in the history of motion pictures, the character of President Grover Cleveland is .to be portrayed on the screen in Mary Pickford’s “Forever Yours,” now in production at the United Artists’ studio. , Robert Emmett O’Connor, the veteran character actor, has been engaged to play the part. • t The scenes in which he will appear are a reproduction of the President’s inaugural ball, for which the ballroom of the White House has been faithfully reconstructed. This is only one of the many spectacular sequences in “Forever
Yours.” At present the Pickford production resembles a wild western ranch with bullets flying everywhere between the rustler gang who attacks the r.'.nchhouse and its heroic defenders, the latter played by Miss Pickford, Kenneth Mac Kenna, her leading man, and Don Alvarado. Four more of the thirty-seven speaking parts have been cast with Robert T. Haines, Erville Alderson, and George Bunny as the three politicians in the Washington sequence, and Pierce De Ramey as the French attache at the capital. This makes a total of twelve out of the thirty-seven speaking parts in the picture. Indianapolis theaters today offer: “A Notorious Affair” at the Circle, “Ingagi” at the Ohio, “The Big Pond” at the Indiana, “Mammy” at the Apollo, “Hell Harbor” at the Palace, “The Arizona Kid” at the Lyric, movies at the Colonial anc, stock burlesque at the Mutual.
