BROAD RIPPLE HAS A CHINESE DRAGON IN ITS BIG ZOO
Amusement Park Decides to Retain Free Skating in the Rink as Well as Boxing and Wrestling Cards as Features for Rest of Season. BROAD RIPPLE PARK has as its main attraction this week Nancy Lee, the intrepid young woman of this city who is endeavoring to break the old and establish anew record endurance automobile driving for women. She started Thursday evening at 6 o'clock on a seventy-five-hour grind on a specially laid out course in the park. She was securely fastened to the steering post of the machine and will continuously drive over the course without stopping until Sunday night at 9 o'clockOther special attractions will be on .hand at the park Sunday to en-
tertain the large crowds expected. This season the park has inaugurated anew system of entertainment for its patrons for which there is no charge. In the big rink free skating may be indulged to one's heart's content. As has been usual duging last season, dancing under the supervision of E. W Mushrush in the big Moonlite pavilion may be had free of all charge. But the biggest hit with patrons of Broad R.pple parte has been the placing of the boxing and wrestling on the free Ist. That this has proved unusually popular % is evidenced by the over-capacity crowds which have been in attendance at each of the athletic shows cluring the last two weeks. Th free athletic shows will prevaif at the park during the bailee of the season. £ The big pool and its new bath PTiouse Is attracting much attention f from swimming devotees. Broad Ripple park pool long has been noted for the unusual sanitary conditions existing there. The water in the Ripple pool Is tested continually throughout the day and evening. In complement to the pool is the big new bathhouse, said to be the finest in the country to date. Several thousand individual steel lockers have been provided in which the swimmer is given his own key and his belongings are placed in safekeeping under his own supervision and are at his disposition at all times. In addition there are up-to-date showers. In the women’s department many new and up-to-date devices for the convenience of the patrons have been installed, particularly pleasing among which are the electric hair dryers. New rides have been installed at the park which have proved popular with old and young this season. Miniature golf links, pony rides, and other devices are proving popular. The big zoo has been added to with a number of animals and reptiles of a kind and specie never before shown in this city. A Chinese dragon, a what-is-it, baby boa constrictor, rattlesnakes, blue snakes and others share in pleasing the student in zoology and the children. Monkeys of almost every description have been gathered at the park this season, from the wee ones to the big fellows which sit around and look wise while the smaller and more mischievous ones cut antics about their cages for the edification of a curious crowd.
Sunday School Lesson
Thr International L'niform Sunday School for July 20. I**4'* Üb ' erator and I.awtiver. E*od. 8:1-12. BV WM. E. GILROY, I>. I). Editor of The Con*re*alionalist THE three-fold title of our les- , son describes one of the great, heroic figures of history—a man J whom the whole world has united j with the Jewish race in revering j for his supremacy. The story of Moses is so pictur-, esque and romantic that the little child may thrill to it. The picture j of the babe abandoned in the ark ; of bullrushes, and of the adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter in honor , and distinction in the palace, com- j ing to the consciousness of his oneness with his people, is such as to | entrance the child and to inspire [ flaming youth. And at the same ’ time the strength and power of his | leadership is revolt and the ca-; parity and vision of Moses as a j lawgiver make him a figure whom , the world's great leaders may revere, I and to whom they have, as a mat- | ter of fact, always given their great | admiration. As in the case of Abraham, the chief interest in Moses is. after all. the religious interest. He was a man with a sense of the divine call, responsive to spiritual emotions and incentives, a thoughtful man. like all thoughtful men feeling his own weakness and inadequacies in relation to the world of hope and aspiration that opened before him and a man evidently of limited power of verbal expression as so many men of action have often been. The greatness of Moses was that in his weakness he was capable oF becoming a medium of divine strength. In his humility he could so devote himself to a cause that the cause gave him courage and power. Deepest of ail in the man was

Dr. D. Davenport brings the films of a five-year jungle trip, under the title of “Jango,” to the Capitol. Sunday.
ROUNDING ROUND
THEATERS
[''OR the first time in many, many years, Chicago only has one legitimate theater open during the summer. New York only has fifteen legitimate theaters open and that is another low mark. Indianapolis and Cincinnati, accustomed to summer stock, is without that form of amusement this summer. Last week a representative of Stuart Walker was in conference here with C. Roltare Eggleston and those who have the lease on English’s. Although an official statement was not made, I was given the impression that there is hopes of bringing the Stuart Walker company to Eng-
lish’s for at least a ten weeks’ season —probably starting in October. Good support would mean that we would have a chance to have even a longer season than just ten weeks. Who ever does bring stock to this city will guided entirely by wfaat the publi pays at the box office. If we want stock we will have to support it. non Pat Lane, after two successful weeks at the Lyric as master of
the moral vision that created his sympathy, his love for his own people, and his intense championship of them against wrong. The task of freeing that people from their strong and powerful oppressors. and of leading them forth, surely must have seemed to him hopeless had it not been for a deep sense in his soul that the man of spiritual courage must attempt the thing that is given him to do, leaving the rest to a power greater than himself. Above Self-Ititerest Moses stands not only as a great figure in himself, but as the finest symbol of the liberator—the man who lives above the plane of selfinterest. whose purposes in life are altogether directed toward higher ends than his own aggrandizement or his own safety. It is such men that give one faith to believe in the reality of the divine in human life. It is in contrast with such men with self-seekers, and with even the learned and great whose learning and greatness are exercised almost wholly for lesser ends, that one perceives the meaning of goodness and integrity and devotion to righteous ends. Can one doubt that one finds in such men the evidence of something that transcends human experience on its ordinary levels? Can one question the reality of what we call the higher life in man? It is true that we may still regard that life as human as it has been encompasssed in human experience. but is not the difference between men to be found in the measure in which with the gift of human life they have partaken of the deeper moral and spiritual powders that are as real in the universe as its sun and its stars. The Need for Faith Moses stands as the great example of what men can really do who act in faith and in courage when the way is clear Few men who are worthy for great tasks feel their worthiness. The common experience of those who have achieved great things in moral and spiritual ways is more like this experience of Moses. They ask "Who am I that I should go?” And the strength of their accomplishment has as its secret the strength that they find in consecration to their task. The presence of the power that urges them becomes more manifest in their souls, and they go to resist oppression. to overthrow wrong, and to achieve the feats of freedom with the message of God ringing in their souls.

‘Jango’ Is Ready to Open Here Congo Film Booked for the Capitol Theater Sunday. HEADED by three white men, an expedition sponsored by the Belgian capital, went into the darkest jungles of the Congo. Os the three only one has returned to tell the tale. He is Dr. Daniel Davenport and has brought back a motion picture covering every possible angle of the trip. One of the outstanding features of the film, which has been titled "Jango,” is a fight between a small dog and seven hippos. The huge beasts were in a pool and the fearless dog leaped into the water and nipped their hides, forcing the animals to a point where two of them were shot. “Jango,” which comes to the Capitol, starting Sunday, July 20, is feature length with a complete prolog in which two of the African black boys that Dr. Davenport brought with him appear.

j ceremonies, leaves for St. Louis, I Kansas City and ether points west. He leaves here a little more convinced that he has the ability and talent to carry on after being unusually successful in his home town. Last night at the last show at the Lyric, Arthur Coray and some of his pupils paid Lane a compliment by coming on the stage and doing an act. nun Have received the following data: With scrupulous observance of John Galsworthy's ideals as regarded transcription of his noted stage success, "Escape," to the talking screen. Basil Dean has brought this play to successful film completion after weeks of shooting in England and is now giving the picture careful editing under his personal supervision. “Escape" is the first of a group of three Associated-Radio Pictures, designed for release both abroad and here under the Radio Pictures program for 1930-31. The reception to be accorded "Escape" and the other talHng productions of As-sociated-Radio will be observed with the keenest interest by the motion picture industry. For these Basil Dean productions are the result of an international co-opera-tive plan whereby Radio Pictures' scenario, technical and supervisory abilities are being united with British talent. The Galsworthy orama was selected as the first of the Associated Radios because of its proven dramatic qualities and the noteworthy success which it enjoyed on the spoken stage. "Escape" was produced in August, 1928. in London. It ran there for nearly a year. Brought to America by "Winthrop Ames in October of 1927 it played throughout the season at the Booth theater. New York, with Howard in the chief role. According to Joseph I Schnitzer. president of Radio Pictures, the talking screen version of Galsworthy’s play contains the most brilliant cast of English stage art< ts ever assembled for any p; , .o whether stage or screen. In the c? interpreting the various roles are Si si’ Du Maurier as Mat Denant: tesblt as Girl of the Town; lan Hunter a Clothes Man; George Curion tg Fi ,v.

Ida May to Dance on the Screen Well-Known Vaudeville Artist Deserts the Stage TDA MAY CHADWICK, the latest ■■■ well-known vaudevillian to capitulate to the call of the screen, offers an eccentric dance specialty in “Pardon My Gun,” new Pathe Western feature with music. Miss Chadwick has headlined the Orpheum circuit for several years with- her act, “Ida May Chadwick and Her Dizzy Blondes.” She was featured with Frank Tinney in “Sometime” and has appeared in a number of successful musical comedies. both here and in England, where she starred for Albert de Courville. A few years ago. Miss Chadwick was chosen as “America’s Most Rhythmic Tap Dancer” in a contest at Tammany hall in New York. She has since defended this title three times and the medal which was awarded her is one of her most highly prized possessions. Ida May Chadwick was born in Camden, N. J., and has been on the stage since she was old enough to talk. With her mother and father, she toured the country even before she was old enough to go to school, in an act known as the Chadwick Trio. It was at this time that she adopted the Sis Hopkins character make-up which she wears so ludicrously in “Pardon My Gun.” George Duryea and Sally Starr head the cast of this Pathe feature with Robert Edeson, Mona Ray, the MacFarlane brothers—world’s champion juvenile riders and ropers—Lee Moran, Harry Woods, Harry Watson and Stompie, anew colored comedy find, prominently featured. Robert de Lacy directed.

tween shows —Miss Wallenda loves to visit the clowns. And she never fails to get a greater thrill out of the antics of the funny men than in her own daring feat. Modestly she says, “They make people laugh, and that is the hardest thing in the world to do, and the most desirable. My own work —it is nothing.” But the anxious circus fans watching her in her seemingly impossible performance, with no net underneath, take quite a different view. There are 100 clowns with the big circus and with each and all of them Helene Wallenda is a prime favorite. Coming to America direct from triumphs in Europe, the Wallenda troupe have at once established themselves as premier artists of the “big tops.” In addition to the Wallendas there are many other thrilling features with the Ringling-Barnum circus this year, including Hugo Zacchini, the “Human Projectile,” fired bodily from a cannon; Con Colleano, genius of tight wire; Lillian Leitzel, queen of the air; the Flying Condonas, greatest of all aerial acts; Maximo, slack wire wizard, and hundreds of others. The Greatest Show on Earth will exhibit in Indianapolis Friday, July 25.

Powell Is Not at All Jealous Actor Has His Own Ideas of How to Conduct Rehearsals. PROFESSIONAL jealousy, so much a part of many stage and screen stars, is wholly lacking in William Powell. Powell rightfully could be credited as co-director of each of his pictures for Paramount since he, as the director assigned, feels responsible for the success of the film as a whole and for the excellence of every performance in it. During the rehearsal period before production of each new picture he starts, Powell makes it a point to hold impromptu, off-stage reehearsals with every player with whom he has a scene or a bit of action. Hollywood recognizes Powell’s ability as a really fine actor and all members of his various casts are eager for the friendly coaching he can give them. He aids them also while the picture is in the making. In doing this he does not presume to usurp the duties of the director. Prior to the start of each picture Powell invariably spends days with the man who will guide the making of the story and from him gets all angles of plot development, characterization, treatment of scenes, etc. Powell then makes himself but an agent of the director—his assistant—and together they bring their work to completion. Director John Cromwell, who made Powell’s recent starring picture, “Streets of Chance,” and who now is directing the present Powell picture, “For the Defense,” has nothing but praise for the “Powell method,” as Hollywood has come to call it. Got Good Start Frank T. Davis, Pathe comedy director, once worked in a traveling medicine show as assistant che “doctor.” New Comedy Team Formed Jimmy Gleason and Harry Sweet are teamed for comedy purposes only in Pathe’s “Her Man.”
