Sheriff Is Confident With a lead of approximately 800 ballots over Tom Quinn, the sheriff and his supporters ask, "Whd is Tom Quinn? What has he done for Indianapolis?" They declare that once the sheriff's silvery voice twangs over the “mike" that the populace will flock to their leader’s cause with the rapidity of the rabbit that jumped out of the starting box on the Allisonville dog track the day the sheriff raided the “puppies.” So the time has been set for Tuesday for the cranium broadcast.

LON TURNS SILENT MOVIE INTO TALKER Chaney Uses ‘The Unholy Three’ as His First All-Talking Vehicle in Which He Uses Five Voices. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN a guy can change his voice to impersonate five different characters, veil, no doubt is left that the actor can talk. And I rue's that answers the question whether Lon Chaney can talk. He uses five different voices in “The Unholy Three." Chany made this story some years ago as a silent movie, and if I have been correctly informed it was one of his favorites. So it was not surprising that Chaney selected this one for his real talking debut on the screen Chaney is associated ir. this crook story by a giant in a side show an da midget, played by Haiiy Earles, and a girl, played by Lila Lee.

Elliott Nugent is cast as one of those honest guys who becomes the fall guy for the gang, but we have the happy ending for our good hero. Os course. Lila and Nugent are the love element. Chaney is at his test in this picture when he is made

up as an old woman who runs a bird shop. The old lady uses the midget to locate expensive jewelry. The midget is dolled up like a baby. Chaney seems to be living up to the announced standard that he has as many voices as faces. And this picture seems to prove it. -The Unholy Three" comes un-

It seems to me that it would be wise to make over some of the better and more popular silent movies into talkers. Nearly forgot to tell you that Chanev sings in this one. "The Unholy Three" comes under the head of highly entertaining melodrama, well acted and directed.

have told you about Pat Rooney, the first, the second and the third. Now we have at the Indiana Pat Rooney the second and his son Pat, known at Rooney the third. Never has any stage family been graced with such feet as the Rooneys. Their name means the best in clean ,un and smart soft and hard shoe oancing. Rooney, the second, pro! ably has created more dance steps than any living soft shoe dancer. Father and son in this act certainly do a lot of nifty stepping and nut over some good comedy. Rooney, the third, will carry on the family name in safety upon the stage. Nothing to fear in this lad. Great people, these Rooneys. The entire stage show runs to good singing and dancing. Cubby and Smith stage their well-known funny human mixup. Good for many clean laughs. The Indiana has a real stage show this week. The while town will be talking about this one.

this is the least interesting talker and singer that I have ever encountered in my life. The director failed to make use of ,ome possibilities that the original score offered. He certainly has messed up the works. The story is one of those “Rain” or African sort of dramas done in music form. Noah Beery

Vivienne Segal

in a most unpleasant role docs the best acting. Right along with him is the singing and acting done by Alice Gentle as Mooda. The story is an unpleasant one and often not interesting. The film has been carelessly assembled, although it must have cost a pot of money. Even a singing cast which includes Walter Woolf and Vivienne Segal are helpless to pull this very trite and unpleasant story out of the jungles. Be your own judge as usual. I think it is the poorest of the singers and the talkers so far. Now at the Apollo. B B tt “SWEET MAMA” IS NOT SO VERY SWEET They could have nlled the movie “Sweet Mama” under the title of "Sweet Potato” and it would have meant just as much. “Sweet Mama” was probably made because Alice White had to have a vehicle. As you remember, I never have been impressed with the acting ability of this girl. She has never impressed me as having any dramatic depth and even her singing and dancing impresses me as being just an impersonation. I may be all wrong in my verdict upon this girl’s ability, but I know that neither Alice White nor "Sweet Mama” will set the world on fire. “Sweet Mama" is just another gangster story with a nice boy getting mixed up with a bad gang. Big Dad man who heads the gang tries to get fresh with the boy’s girl friend. Police are tipped off by the girl, the hero is saved just as he is going to take his last walk, the big bad gang leader gets his and that ends “Swee' Mama." They will never make another Clara Bow out of Alice White. Probably one Clara either in the flesh or on the screen is sufficient. Here is a weak gangster story, only fairly well acted. Story lacks the convincing punch, mostly due to the ordinary work of Miss White. Now at the Circle. Other theaters today offer: “Caught Short” at the Ohio; “On the Level” at the Lyric, and, burlesque at the Colonial.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GANGSTER SLAIN BY COP AFTER CHASE IN AUTO Officer, Off Duty, Almost Is Run Down; Remembers Stolen Car Number. Because Fatroiman Dale B. Smith's memory flashed a license number to him when a speeding auto almost hit him Saturday, one alleged car thief is dead and another today faces vehicle taking charges. Charles Castle, 2127 North Oxford street, 21-year-old gangster and paroled convict, was shot and killed by Smith late Saturday, aiter a long chase m a stolen car, through northeastern Indianapolis. Edward Sanders. 20, of 2139 North Oxford street, rlso recently paroled from the state reformatory, with Castle in the car, was captured. Police said they found a jug of liquor in the car. Verifies Suspicion Smith, off duty, was on his way home when a speeding car almost struck him at Roosevelt avepue and Bloyd avenue. He thought he remembered the license number as one on a machine reported stolen, and after verifying his suspicion from a list of numbers in his pocket, Smith commandeered a passing auto and started pursuit. Smith fired once at the fleeing ear as the pursuing machine drew alongside. On Thirtieth street, east of Keystone avenue, Castle and Senders abandoned the auto and fled on foot. Smith fired once at Castle, the bullet killing him. Nabbed by Passengers Dale Johnson, 2161 Station street, driver of the car Smith commandeered, and William L. Stutsman, 1717 North Tacoma avenue, and Gene Hurst, 2167 Station street, passengers, caught Sanders. Both Sanders and Castle had long records in the city, according to detectives. They were released from the state reformatory a month ago after serving three and one-half years of sentences on burglary charges.

BUTTE STORES ARE CLOSED BY STRIKE Merchants Retaliate as Clerks Stage Sympathy Walkout. Bu United Press BUTTE, Mont., July 14.—Drug and grocery stores were the only places of business open in Butte today as insistent demands were heard on all sides that a compromise be effected to end the strike of union teamsters and machinists. Almost all the retail and wholesale business houses in the city were closed in retaliation to the move of the clerk’s union, which supported the demands of their brother unionists by a sympathetic strike. While the Silver Bow County Employers’ Association withheld comment upon reopening the stores, officials of other organizations made plans to call mass meetings for a vote on whether to follow the action of the clerk’s union. In case of an affirmative decision, a general strike would result.

LODGE BACKING MUNCIE MAN IN CABINET RAGE Brings Pressure to Bear for White's Choice as Davis' Successor, WASHINGTON, July 14.—Charges that local lodges of an international fraternal organization are flooding the White House with telegrams urging appointment of Robe Carl White of Muncie, Ind., as secretary of labor, resulted today in the organization by labor leaders of an effort to expose the system which# has generated the apparent "pressure" for the appointment. White, who has been assistant secretary of labor under James J. Davis since 1925, affiliated himself soon after his appointment with the fraternal organization which Davis heads. As the “chief” prepares to relinquish his post for a seat in the senate, the moguls of the order are said to be pressing for the elevation of his understudy. Labor leaders are aroused. The telegrams which are being sent to the White House, they charge, do not reveal that they are inspired by the fraternal organization. They appear to come as so many pledges of spontaneous support from widely separated perts of the country. Representatives of the American Federation of Labor have presented several names at the White House as possible appointees. White’s is not one of them. His record as department administrator under Davis is bad from the viewpoint of the workers, these leaders say. They have told President Hoover as much. White was appointed assistant secretary by President Coolldge, at the behest of Senator James M. Watson of Indiana. County and city Republican leader in Muncie, White rendered notable services to the Watson organization on several occasions.
