IT IS NO EASY JOB TO STAGE THIS PLAY William Blair Overcomes Many Difficulties in Producing . “Street Scene” at English’s Sunday. “QTREET SCENE’S’’ hsu. 304 ‘ props” and 160 entrances. In the world U of the theater the little word “cue” means, as you probably know, ‘‘the last word or words of a speech, or the ending of any action indicating the time for the next person to speak or act.” But seldom, if ever, in the history of the theater has any stage director been so beleaguered and beset with “cues” as is William Blair, the stage director of “Street Scene.” Elmer Rice's drama of city life which Arthur Casey will present at English's for one week, commencing Sunday night. During the action of “Street Scene” there are 160 entrances. There

are fifty persons in the cast. No : more, you may say, than in certain musical revues. True, but whereas in a revue one cue may serve for the consorted action of thirty or more chorus girls; in “Street Scene” .every member of the company plays a different character and therefore has numerous individual cues. Add to the surrf total of these, the innumerable , cues for off-stage ; sound effects and you will appre- ’ ciate this stage director’s task. Blair begins his duties each performance by testing the set. which is built sufficiently strong to hold twenty-two persons. Then he checks up on the props. This is no easy task for there are 304 of them, perhaps the largest number ever in use in a dramatic production. The list includes everything from ner On the third day, following breakfast at the hotel, the party will be taken for a visit to the bureau of engraving and printing, where money and stamps are made. A visit to the Washington monument, Pan-American building and the White House will follow. From these a sight-seeing trip through residential and legation section of Washington; Rock Creek park, Georgetown, Ft. Meyer,' Arlington National cemetery with amphitheater and tomb of Unknown Soldier, Alexandria, Mt. Vernon and Lincoln Memorial. This trip also includes a boat ride on the Potomac river, one way. On the fourth day four hours will be given the party for personal exploration. At 2 p. m. the party leaves Washington for Annapolis and the United States Naval Academy and at 5 p. m. leaves Annapolis to arrive in Indianapolis Thursday, June 18, at 9:30 a. m. Meals and hotel 'accommodations are included, as are all side sightseeing trip expenses. The party is to be well chaperoned by representatives of the local Pennsylvania railroad officers. High school classes are urged to chocse their candidates at once, cast their votes through The. Times and also use the coupons which are given to patrons of the Lyric theater.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DENIED SIO,OOO, ASSESSOR WARS WITHJOUNCIL McCloskey Upholds Plan; Brands Board’s Idea as 'Good Joke.’ Backfire from officeholders because of the county council’s rigid economy program today sent the first tremor? of discord into the “new deal” Democratic administration at the courthouse. Flat refusal of tne council to appropriate approximately SIO,OOO to start revaluation Os real estate in Center township aroused objections from John C. McCloskey, Democratic Center township assessor, regarded as one of the most powerful county party leaders. After learning the council had refused all of his desired appropriation, McCloskey appeared before the council at the close of its meeting Thursday afternoon. McCloskey proposed to use the SIO,OOO to hire sixteen additional assesssors in his office to conduct a revaluation of real estate, that regularly should not start until 1932, according to councilmen. Branding as “a good joke” a proposal of the council that the Indianapolis Real Estate Board aid McCloskey, instead of employing extra help, the assessor informed the council he thought “they were carrying their economy a little too far.” “You folks have no conception: of the situation in the assessor’s | office or you would not refuse this 1 amount,” he argued. “All I want is a chance to help the county by putting all real es- j tate on an equitable basis,” he re- 1 joined when the council told him “there is no money to start this re- j valuation program this year.” Theodore Danmeyer, deputy as-1 sessor, then joined heatedly in the 1 argument and told the councilmen:

At 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon at the John Herron Art institute, Mme. Olga Samaroff of the Julliard Foundation Graduate School of Music, will speak on “The Schubert Memorial and the Young American Artist.” A public invitation is extended by the Matinee Musicale and Mrs. Lafayette Page. “You ought not to ‘harp’ over the small amount of SIO,OOO when there is $600,000,000 of real estate on which the county will get larger returns when reassessed.” Appropriations sought by other county offices also were slashed. One request of $4,000 to purchase plat books for the auditor’s office was cut to SI,BOO and another for $3,700 to resurface Tibbs avenue from Washington street to Maywood was reduced to $6,000. Other reductions were on requests of Coroner Fred W. Vehling for autopsies and .an appropriation for collecting back court costs by the county clerk.

OTHER states besides Indiana have their congressional reapportionment worries, a study of the national situation reveals. Os the thirty-two states required by law to redistrict but thirteen have complied. This presents the problem of the legality of electing congressmen-at-large, debated in Indiana before and during the last session of the general assembly. More than 200 congressmen will be elected at large if it is declared legal. a s a New York’s legislature undertook to create new congressional districts by a resolution, instead of by a bill and so not require the Governor's signature, as Governor Roosevelt was opposed to the divisions proposed by the legislature. Suit has been filed questioning legality of such a redistrict ! ng resolution. A Democratic legislature in Missouri passed its redistricting bill and a Republican Governor vetoed it. Unless a special session of the legislature is called, the state delegation of thirteen congressmen either will be elected at large or not at all. a a a California’s reapportionment bill gave most of its nine new members to the southern part of the state and was approved by the Governor. Plans are being made for a referendum. In Pennsylvania, where the legislature still is in session, the senate passed one reapportionment act and the house of representatives another.
