COURT RULINGS HIT DRIVE ON CHICAGO GANG Illinois Supreme Tribunal Orders Outstanding ‘Public Enemy’ Freed. By United Press CHICAGO, April 24.—Organized forces which have been waging a spectacular war against gangsters in Chicago admitted defeat today in four skirmishes. But they declared they still had the gangs "on the run,” and would continue their attacks. One of the most outstanding gang victories since the war began after Alfred Lingle was killed last June, •was won Thursday when the state supreme court ordered George (Red) Barker, a "public enemy,” released from prison. Order Barker Freed Judges John H. Lyle and John P. McGoorty and their backers in the crime drives hailed Barker’s incarceration a few' months ago as “one of the most severe blows ever struck at gangdom.” Barker had been arrested during Judge Lyle’s "vagrancy”- drive and it was discovered he had served only part rs a long sentence for murder. It was found he T, ad been released under a writ of habeas corpus issued at Peor.a. Judge McGoorty ruled the writ was faulty and ordered Barker back to prison. The supreme court now has reversed McGoorty. Decisions Favor Gangs Other decisions favoring the gangs were given by the court in the cases of Danny Stanton, James (Red) Forsythe and Simon Gorman. Stanton had been fighting for months to obtain release pending a review of his appeal from an - order that he be extradited to Delafield, Wis., to be tried on a charge of helping kill Jack Zuta. The court ordered him released on $40,000 bond, which he said he could furnish. Forsythe and Gorman were convicted in Judge Lyle’s court on charges of carrying guns. The supreme court granted the new trials. Aged Gunsmith Dies By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 24. Edmund Frank Tetzel, 73, veteran gunsmith, died of apoplexy while at work in his shop.

BERKELLIDOLS TO HEAD LYRIC BILL Milton Byron, Idabelle Arnold and Larry Sullivan Will Appear in Comedy Sketch for Week. , ANNOUNCEMENT comes from the management of the Lyric that this city has been selected as the starting point for Milton Byron, Idabelle Arnold and Larry Sullivan, three former dramatic stock company favorites, for their tour in vaudeville. In the days of the Berkell Players in this city, there were probably no three more popular players in this company than Miss Arnold, Byron and Sullivan. They have been playing in stock elsewhere for the last two seasons and have decided now to try their luck in the varieties, at least for the summer season.

In vaudeville they are to present the especially written one-act comedy drama called “I’ll Betcha,” in which each one of the trio is given ample opportunity for displaying their versatile ability. Idabelle, of course has the major comedy role, that of the talkative wife who makes a wager that she can keep from speaking a word for ten minutes. The predicaments she finds herself in during those ten short minutes furnishes the momentum for the sketch. Byron and Sullivan are husbands and also find themselves in excruciatingly funny, but hazardous situations. A complete scenic production is to be carried for this production. Five other RKO vaudeville acts and the Fox Movietone feature picture “Quick Millions” round out the Lyric show for next week, and which starts on Saturday. Girls from Toneland, a dozen musical entertainers; the Five Hot Shots, a quintette of colored dancers; Brooks and Rush, two Broadway comediennes; and Mme Everest's Monkey Hippodrome, are other stellar lights on the stage bill. , Spencer Tracy, who rose to fame for his performance in “Up The River,” a recent talking film production, is the star of "Quick Millions ” a drama of love and adventure in big business and racketeering, by a lowly truck driver, who rises to the heights in bo|h but loses in love. Marguerite Churchill, Sally Eilers and Warner Richmond are other members of the cast of this production which was directed by Rowland Brown, author of "Doorway To Hell.” n tt tt FAMOUS ORCHESTRA TO APPEAR TONIGHT Indianapolis radio lans are to be denied the privilege of listening to Coon-Sanders Original Night Hawks broadcast from the Indiana Roof ballroom, when they make a one night appearance there tonight according to Tom Devine, the Roof’s manager. Devine says the Roof ballroom

has acquired a large radio following for its almost nightly broadcasts over radio station WFBM, and names a number of famous orchestras featured during such broadcasts, including McKinney’s Cotton Pickers, Henry Thies and his orchestra, Freddy Bergan’s Vagabonds, the Ipana Troubadours, Isham Jones,and his orchestra, and Nat Shilkret’s Victor Recording orchestra. He names a ruling established by the* F'lorsheim Shoe Company, for whom the Night Hawks broadcast nationally once a week, as the reason for the ballroom’s inability to broadcast. The Night Hawks contract with the shoemakers specifies that their broadcasting must be restricted to Chicago stations when they are not being featured on the company’s program. Carlton Coon and Joe Sanders, co-directors of the original Night Hawks, will be present. Indianapolis theaters today offer: "Joe Marks at the Lyric, double movie bill at the Circle, new bill; “Tarnished Lady” at the Indiana, “Strangers May Kiss” at the Palace, “The Command to Love”, at English’6, "Ned McCobb’s Daughter,” at the Civic, “Mr. Lemon of Orange” at the Apollo, and, “East Lynne” at the Ohio. - .'
