JOLSON BECOMES A HERO ON SCREEN ‘Big Boy’ Has the Entertaining Thought of Opening a Season That Connects Stage and Screen. AL JOLSON'S latest Warner Brothers and Vitaphone production, “Big Bov.” opens at the Apollo Thursday. While Jolson was playing in the original stage play, “Big Boy,” in New York, he came out for his usual few minutes of solo entertainment. The audience kept calling him back until at last Jolson saw that there would hardly be time for the rest of the show to go on if he continued to give encores.

He 'went behind the scenes and told the rest of the cast to go home, and then for hours he proceeded to keep the audience. Long after the usual closing time of the show. Jolson kept the audience. It is just that way he has “run wild” in the picture. There is some stage history connected with the picture, “Big Boy.” It was the last stage show in which Jolson appeared. A1 Jolson. as the colored jockey Gus, has been given a cast, including Claudia Dell. Louise Closser Hale, Lloyd Hughes. Eddie Phillips, Lew Harvey, Franklin Batie and John Harron.

Stars Can Be Seen in Daylight —Only the glare of the sun’s rays, which fills our atmosphere, prevents us from seeing the stars in the daytime.

That is why stars are perfectly visible through a telescope in the daytime.

OUSTER FACED BY ARGENTINA'S CHIEFJFFICIAL President Irigoyen Receives Demand to Resign: Cabinet May Quit. B'j United Press i BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Sept.j 3.—Weakened physically by illness j and facing the open hostility of the j leaders of his party, President; Hipolito Irigoyen appeared today to face a possible resignation of his cabinet, and a well-backed demand that he himself resign from office or be temporarily relieved of his duties. It was rumored in Buenos Aires early today that the resignation of the entire cabinet had been forwarded to the President. He already had received the resignation of the minister of war, General Luis Dellepiane. Political quarters said that if the President accepts the cabinet’s resignation, members of the radical party, of which Irigoyen is the nominal head, would demand that the President resign and would form a government from their own party with Vice President Enrique Martinea as the chief executive. It was learned from reliable sources that Martinez and prominent radicals had decided to demand the President’s resignation. Martinez also is president of the senate.

“WE” OR JUST—THE WATER FAUCET gws Does your water company mean to you just the water faucet, giving you an adequate supply of pure water for drinking and bathing or industrial uses, and FIRE PROTECTION? Or does it mean an organization of men and women striving to give you dependable, uninterrupted service, every hour of the day and night? Water for Indianapolis must be procured, purified, and then distributed with the aid of seven pumping stations through more than 650 miles of mains. During the recent drought pumps operated at times at the rate of 123,000,000 gallons daily—more than three times the average rate. Instinctively, we reach for the faucet but seldom do we give thought to the vast industry that keeps thousands of taps delivering water every hour of every day. Those who are making it possible to “Carry On" are the men and women who make up the personnel of this company, ams INDIANAPOLIS WATER CO.
