COME OVER AND SAY ‘HOWDY' TO JIMMIE Interviewing James Hall Is About as Pleasant a Job as One Would Want to Have in This World. B 1 WALTER D. HICKMAN AS usual, I get all of the numbers of rooms mixed up when I go calling • at a hotel. I landed on the wrong floor at the Lincoln and had to tour back to the cleric and ask where “Hall lived.” * Was told that Mr. James Hall’s room was on certain floor at a certain spot and so I resumed my upward flight. I must tell you that "Mr. James Hall” was not in but Jimmie Hall was there in person in this flock of rooms. I mean no disrespect but this movie hero of “Hell’s Angels” and a bunch of other hits was just Jimmie Hall and not the movie idol. I like to meet people like that, the sort you want to call by their first names j

after you meet them. James Hall is 'hat sort of a fellow. You want to call him Jimmie and you do. Everybody was calling him that when I

appeared and my last words to him •vere, “Well, Jim, see you later.” So you can see that T even beat the others, I called him Jim. Hall told me that the questions he is asked the most by people who meet him center around how movies are actually made. “They ask me how I killed Ben Lyon in ‘Hell’s

Angels’,” then that I actually drove one of those airplanes many times.” One fine thing that I liked about this man, he knows about every one who is anybody at Hollywood and he only had the best to say of them. He had more than the best of words for Clare Bow and he has acted with Clara, you know, on the screen. While we talked of Hollywood, he found time to talk about his work in Indianapolis. He found time to shake hands with the manager of the Lincoln. “I was here In your hotel in 1923 with ‘The Passing Show’,” he said. "All the stars stayed at the Lincoln in that show. I was the star." Then he grew serious and talked of Indianapolis of other days. Hall has done many things in his career on the stage and screen. This master of ceremonies job which he takes over at the Indiana today is not new to him. He knows his bands. “They often ask just what a director has to do with a band,” he said. “Well, when I make that movement, something happens. When I do that, then that happens.” He was acting out these remarks and he was serious.

“If you don’t believe me, I will show you sometime on the stage at ! the Indiana,” he said. Jimmie Hall today brings the Indiana back to its policy of stage presentations, the one opening today is called “On With the Dance.” And you will find this very regu- ; lar person, Jimmie Hall, at the .head of the band and officially guest master of ceremonies. It will do you good to know this ! man. Just to meet him makes one forget the blues and other things. a a a Other Indianapolis theaters today oiler: Thurston at English’s, “The Passion Flower” at the Palace, “Cimarron” at the Circle, "Morocco” at the Ohio, “Once a Sinner” at the !

ISSUE CITY FIGURES I Engineering Data Contained in Annual Report, Indianapolis motorists drive over 801.84 miles of streets, according to the annual report of A. H. Moore, city civil engineer. Sixty per cent of these are paved, while there are fifty-four miles of boulevards. The city is nearly thirteen miles long and a little over nine miles in width, the report adds. The total area is 54.15 square miles, not counting the municipal airport. The 1930 census gives the city’s population as 364,161. City parks are lighted by 2,017 lights, and 7,846 more decorate city streets and the 662 miles of cement walks. The city’s mileage of gas mains is 135 greater than that of cement walks, while the number of miles of water mains and sewers is slightly less. There are 5,763 fire hydrants.
