WEDS OFTEN IN ! FILMS. BUT NOT EVEN ONE HERO Winnie Lightner Sighs for Just Lone ‘Lucky’ Love Role. By Vnited Prrti HOLLYWOOD, Cal.. April 17. “Nobody loves a comedienne,” sighed Winnie Lightner, “but it seems to amuse the public to marry them off to the wrong man.” She hasn't had any luck at romance on the screen. All her conquests have been set ups. Never once has she married the hero and only once has she even bean allowed to appear in love with him. In each screen romance, Winnie has been the aggressor, picking her victim and then going out to get him. Love never seems to enter into her affairs in pictures, except in the one unsuccessful instance mentioned. "Evidently I’m not the type,” she said, resignedly. “I’d like a picture in which I could be a lady and have sleek and desirable men bidding for my favor. But the writers and the directors seem to be against me. “I guess I'll have to go on content with a lot of goofy matches.” Winnie gave Albert Gran, who tips the scales over completely, a lot of punishment before she landed

him In the net of matrimony in “Gold Diggers of Broadway.” Then came the near-to-real romance. She loved Chester Morris in her second picture and he loved her—just like a sister or aunt. So In that picture she Just didn't get mfcrried at all. In “Hold Everything” she was permitted to marry Joe E. Brown. It was one of those stories in which she was crazy to marry any one. However, no one ever said that Joe E. Brown was a second Valentino. With that match to her credit, she wheeldled Charles Butterworth Into matrimony in “The Life of the Party.” She married him because he had money and was seldom home. Next, she married Joe E. Brown again. But that was principally because they found themselves on a boat together bound for Havana. The picture was "Sit Tight.” In her latest Warner Brothers’ feature, “Gold Dust Gertie,” she won the love, honor and affection of Claude Gillingwater, but her heart refused to palpitate over even this romantic triumph. Neither is Gillingwater an Adonis. GREEN ROUGE LATEST Some Complexions Need Toning Down, say Beauty Experts. Btf A 1 A Service LONDON, April 17.—Women with ruddy complexions should never use rouge. It makes them look unnatural, and even their high natural hue needs toning down, according to a prominent beauty specialist here. Consequently, a green face powder has been perfected which does that job. A lavender powder has also been put on the market for use under shaded lights of ballrooms.

CUT-PRICE / CUT-PRICE / DRUGS ♦ GROCERIES ♦ MOW “CUT-PRICE” QUALITY FURNITURE Smaller Profit—Greater Sales For years thrifty buyers have bought their drugs and groceries at “CUT-PRICE” stores and they have paid far less than the regular price, The first of this year THE IDEAL FURNITURE COMPANY inaugurated “CUT-PRICE” selling of quality furniture. People from Indianapolis and from all over Indiana have taken advantage of this new furniture marketing idea. The result has been that THEY HAVE SAVED enormously on their purchases. Our plan of selling quality furniture at “CUT PRICES” requires a large volume of sales, for the margin of profit on each sale is very small. It is necessary, therefore, that we continue to receive the same response from the furniture buyers of Indianapolis and Indiana that we have so greatly enjoyed during the past three months. “CUT-PRICE” furniture retailing is entirely new, but it has been accepted by furniture buyers in such a way that is most gratifying to us. All we ask is that before buying your new furniture you come to the “CUT-PRICE” furniture store, without any obligation, and see for yourself the amount you can save by buying your furniture as you do your drugs and groceries—AT CUT PRICES.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

emerge from their city when It was besieged by its enemies, has been discovered by the expedition of the British School of Egyptian Archeology. The expedition, directed by Sir Flinders Petrie, has identified Tell el Ajjul in southern Palestine as almost certainly being the site of Gaza which figures in Old Testament history. The tunnel wsis dug in the rock for a length of 400 feet and led out of the city. That such a tunnel was built indicates that the city feared heavy sieges and was pre-

pared for them by this secret exit. Out of the tunnel, fighting men could suddenly rush for a night attack on the enemy, or else in desperation the population could use this exit in an attempt to abandon their city secretly. In this season’s excavations at the site, special attention is being given to the remains older than 2,000 B. C., in the hope of making new discoveries regarding early events in Palestine. The cat is thought to be the oldest pet of man.

If husbands will lock up their wives, according to the Maharaja of Burdwan. who defends the Indian custom of ‘purdah,” which keeps the wife in the home. “There Is no social life, as the western world understands It, for the great mass of Indian women,” hg says. “There are no amusements, no sports, no shopping. But how could there be in the tiny isolated Indian villages? “The west has shown us a world where women are free to go where they please, do as they please. A world of divorce courts, broken
