Canned Goods Night at Indiana Will Aid Needy

Food Will Be Distributed by Salvation Army to Poor of City. Tonight is canned goods night for Indianapolis boy.j and girls at the Indiana theater. Every youngster who brings one can of food after 6 o’clock will be admitted to see the regular show, j consisting of “Half Shot at Sunrise” as the feature picture and j Charlie Davis’ stage show of ‘glorified vaudeville.” Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, stars of “The Cuckoos,” have the leading roles in the picture. The canned lood is being collected by the Indianapolis Times and Skouras-Publix theaters for the Salvation Army, which, in turn, will distribute it among the city’s needy, under direction of Adjt. Arthur V. Cass. | A can of food will continue to be j accepted as admission for children until 6 o'clock Saturday evening. Arrangements for the collection were made with Cullen E. Espy,

manager of the Skouras-Publix theaters in this district, by representatives of The Times. Collection of the food was decided on following the shoe matinees at the Circle last Saturday, when 2,000 pairs of shoes were collected for destitute families. The Salvation Army also had charge of distribution of the shoes. “We want any and every kind of food that comes in cans,” said Espy. “Beans, peas, soup, tomatoes, any kind will be accepted.” Adjutant Cass advises that he has a place for all of it and we are only too glad to help The Times in such a worthy movement." Espy requested that children bring the cans unwrapped, to facilitate acceptance by the doorman, and to prevent accumulation of paper and waste at the theater front. $12,000 FOR SKYLIGHTS Bids of six new skylights in the federal building were to be received today by George M. Foland, customs collector and custodian. The equipment will cost approximately $12,000. I

LONDON'S NIGHT CLUBS REFINED PLACETO PLAY Cabaret Incidental to Food, Wines and Dancing; Deserting Piccadilly. I By United Press j LONDON, Nov. 28.—Night club j life is moving from the Piccadilly i circus area in the fashionable west ; end of London to the suburbs. There are two reasons. Cheaper rents. j The illicit clubs were closed by ! police and those remaining were so ! drab that the younger set and the few, doddering papas and mamas shifted their patronage to the livelier clubs in the suburbs. Night life in London is as staid and conservative as the many traditions of England. One finds not the nude dancers of the Paris cases nor the scantily clad dancers of New York or Chicago’s sucker shops, in the clubs here. The main attraction at one of the clubs for weeks has been a famous jazz band from the states. The cabaret is incidental to the food, wines and dancing. Prices are approximately onethird of those in the large American city and compare favorably with those on the continent. True, the owner does not have to add the fine he’ll have to pay if federal men drop in, to each bottle of ginger ale sold and despite the heavy tax on spirits one can become very mellow at a tenth the cost of a bleary night in the states. There is an atmosphere of sane conviviality where the guests, clad In evening clothes, are assembled Absent is the counterpart of the big butter-and-egg man from the west, who gulps one drink of alleged whisky after another in an American night club; the sleek, welldressed gunman and his “moll” and the alert blackmailer out seeking a bank roll entertaining a blonde. Although a small fee is charged the membership in a club, not every one is accepted. The rules in most clubs give a member the privilege of ordering the. manager to force an offensive visitor-guest to leave the room.
