CHURCH SPLIT LOOMING OVER EDICT Amendment to New Canon Would Let Episcopals Marry Divorced. By United Prett NEW YORK, June 29.—Elimination of penalties and the right of Episcopal clergymen to marry divorced persons with use of the book o€ common prayer would be provided in an amendment to the proposed new canon on divorce announced today by the Joint commission on divorce of the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church. The tentative liberal canon provided for remarriage of divorced persons by priests of the church,' t stipulated that the ceremonies could not be performed in a church and could not be solemnized by use of the book of common prayer. The amendment was written apparently after a storm of protest from liberal members of the church. Written by Majority The amendment, however, was not sanctioned by the entire Joint commission and was written as a majority report. A minority amendment to the amendment has been prepared by a bloc of the commission, which does not agree in its entirety with the majority report. A third plan has been put forward by Origen S. Seymour and has met with approval of several members of the commission. The three plans will be presented before the general convention when it meets in Denver in September, and many predict a wide breach in the church if any of the proposals are adopted. The convention will be faced with the following proposals: 1. That the canon now in effect, which provides only adultery as the cause for divorce and subjects divorced persons to excommunication —although in actual practice this is seldom done—be reaffirmed by the convention. Trial Plan Studied 2. That the new liberal canon and the amendment of the majority of the joint commission, which allows all rights to divorced persons after trial by an ecclesiastical marital court, be adopted. 3. That the minority amendment to the majority amendment, which would prohibit a priest of the church from performing the ceremony, but would allow him to bless the union "in his discretion,” be accepted. 4. That Seymour’s proposal, which stipulates that the ecclesiastical court determine whether the conduct of the divorced person seeking to remarry was in any slight way responsible for the divorce, and whether the applicant reasonably could have done anything to avoid the separation, be accepted. ‘BONUS LOANS’ MOUNT 1793,000,000 Paid Veterans on Compensation Certificates. WASHINGTON, June 29.—Loans to World war veterans in the four months since passage of the "bonus” law total $793,000,000, the veterans’ bureau announced. The number of veterans aided is 2,064,500.

CONRAD’S PIGEONS IS FASCINATING ACT Indiana’s Stage Show Includes One of the Most Novel Bird Acts Before the Public Today. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN EVER hear of pigeons trained to the extent that they obey every command of their trainer? I never have until I saw Hamilton Conrad and his pigeons at the Indiana this week. Might as well tell you right now that the Indiana has a real stage show this week. Even the chorus is well trained and the show is rich in comedy as well as novelty. Conrad and his pigeons supply the novelty. Conrad has a name for every pigeon and each is trained in a special routine. He commands them to fly to certain positions on the stage. HTVi ntf AffArt tVlfl Cft/'An H

r ney even come irom me second floor and land Just where he tells them. He holds out his hand to one bird and tells it to circle around once or twice before resting on his finger, Conrad has a miniature mer-ry-go-round. He orders three birds to ride certain dogs. To me this

is one of the most wonderful acts I have seen in many a month. The patience that Conrad and his wife must have in training the birds. For the life of me I can’t tell how they can tell one bird from another. Here is an act that all children should see. Webb and Doug-

Douglas

Fairbanks Jr. las ar e a comedy team of the first degree. Douglas shoots his wisecracks from the stage and Webb carries on in the audience. The result is some rich comedy. The delivery is splendid. Some good laughs here. The chorus is especially fine in the King’s Soldier number. Sylvia Froos, a beautiful girl, who has advanced rapidly on the stage. Is the featured member of "Winging Home.” Brooke Johns and the orchestra have a corking good banjo number. Here is a stage show that is a stage show. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Is featured in "Chances.” Cast includes Rose Hobart and Anthony Bushell. It is so blooming hot as I write this, I am going to let you write your own review of this featured show. Clever, these Chinese. Yes? Now at the Indiana. a a u SWANSON MOVIE IS RICH IN COMEDY The new Gloria Swanson movie, ’‘lndiscreet’’ Is very rich in comedy. I am glad to see this woman do comedy again, because she Is a polished artist in this. “Indiscreet” is not as rich in dramatic values, as the story is a little

shopworn. It Is the aged story of a girl being the mistress to one man, reforms, but the past is always bobbing up. Monroe Owsley as Jim Woodward is the past, and he is a rather good sort at that. Gloria this time is keen over Tony Blake, played in fine spirit by Ben Lyon. This man and Miss Swanson certainly are splendid in the

Aunt Kate. Here Is some more good comedy work. If "Indiscreet” was all comedy, it would be a knockout. Now at the Palace. a u a ANOTHER GANG KID IS HERE It seems the gang is with us again. Meaning that “Freckles,” a member of Our Gang comedies, is with us at the Circle this week. It has been many months since the Circle has had flesh and blood on the stage, and the change is welcomed. "Freckles” comes out as we have seen him many times on the screen. He tells about the gang and how the pictures are made. He attempts comedy and does a dance. He seems to be sure of what he is doing. He has a pleasant way about him. The children will like him. His turn is not sensational, but pleasing. And the Circle has a comedy winner in "Forbidden Adventure,” on the talking screen. Here is a rapid comedy based upon two mothers who force their children to be mcvie stars. At times it is broad travesty upon fond mothers who desire to make stars out of their little darlings. And you know the cast is all right when I tell you that Edna May Oliver and Louise Fazenda are cast as the mothers. This Oliver woman has the funniest face on the screen. All I have to do is to look at her and I yell. And she is funny this time. Miss Fazenda is immense when she is putting on the dog and ritzing Miss Oliver. Here is grand fun. Mitzi Green is one of the youngsters. This girl certainly is making rapid strides. Her comedy work this time is the best she has ever done. If you want to laugh, then see "Forbidden Adventure.” Now at the Circle. a a a CONCERNING “ANNABELLE’S AFFAIRS” I had the thought while seeing "Annabelle’s Affairs” that they are grooming Victor McLaglen to take the place of the late Louis Wolheim. McLaglen’s “map,” meaning face, is about as ugly as the one which made Wolheim famous and wealthy. He first appears as a crude westerner with a beard and when he shaves it off, his own wife does not recognize him. Jeanette MacDonald is cast as the wife and it seems to me that

CAVE-IN TRAPS BOY IN WELL FOR24HOURS Courage of Lad, 16, in Face of Death Brings Cheers. By United Prett OTTAWA, 111., June 29.—Sixteen-year-old Howard Smith, who faced death for twenty-four hours without a whimper while rescuers dug him out of a caved-in well, told today how he kept up his courage by praying. “I made up my mind as soon as the well caved In that I wasn’t going to die,” Howard said, “and I never allowed that belief to weaken. Saying my prayers helped a lot.” Two rocks formed a crude arch above Howard’s head when the sides of the well collapsed, and this he regarded as “a sort of miracle.” A garden hose was pushed through a niche between the boulders and through it the boy received air and shouted directions to his rescuers. Gravel and earth packed itself around his legs, leaving him paralyzed for several hours after he was brought to safety Sunday. Lost Heart Once Howard was repairing the well at his farm home near here Saturday when it caved in. His grandfather notified authorities and miners from the nearby coal fields volunteered to help. Fearing that an attempt to dig out the well would dislodge the arch two feet above Howard’s head, they began anew shaft. “The only time I really lost heart,” Howard said today, “was when they told me that they had struck solid rock in the shaft and could not continue. Then they began anew tunnel and I felt better. “Pretty soon I forgot all about dying and began hoping they would hurry. It was the nicest thing in all my life when they dragged me out of there.” Thousands See Rescue Despite the fact that his legs were paralyzed temporarily, Howard insisted on thanking his rescuers immediately after reaching safety. Then he asked to be taken to his room “to get some sleep.” Five thousand spectators at the scene cheered as he was carried into the house. “He’s the bravest person I’ve ever seen,” said Edward Reinsch, a vetertan coaid miner who survived the Cherry mine disaster in which many lives were lost. Reinsch, with Howard’s older brother, Floyd, directed the rescue work.

she is guilty of overacting, especially some of her comedy scenes. Roland Young has a rich part as the soused Roland Wimbledon. Sam Hardy really walks away with the picture with his work as the comedy valet, James Ludgate, who gives wild parties when his master is away. William Collier Sr., is cast as a comedy hotel detective who is alway losing his badge and when the badge is missing he doesn’t detect. The photography and the direction are all right. So is the sound. Be your own judge of this one. Now at the Apollo. Other theaters today offer: George Gaul in Shaw’s “Arms and the Man,” at English’s; Fifi D’Orsay, at the Lyric; “The Lawyer’s Secret,” at the Ohio, and burlesque at the Mutual.

Great Liner Destroyed by Fire

The $7,000,000 liner Bermuda was going up in smoke when the above picture was taken at the Hamilton, Bermuda, docks. Listing badly, and with fuel tanks flooded to prevent an explosion that would have imperiled hundreds, the craft soon settled to the bottom. British naval forces, as well as all firefighting apparatus of the city, were unable to prevent destruction of the Bermuda’s superstructure and extensive damage to three lower decks.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN DEFINITE trend toward Newton D. Baker for the Democratic nomination for President in 1932 easily was the most notice table development at the recent mid-sum-mer meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association at Gary. Not only did Baker receive the most favorable mention in the lobby where were gathered the lay politicians, but he was the principal topic of discussion in the back rooms where the self-proclaimed “strategists” perspiringly held forth over glasses of ginger ale. a a tt They voiced the opinion that the Atlantic coast states and the south would engage in a bitter battle, which would result in the exterml-

nation of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Albert C. Ritchie and any dry candidates the south might put forth. With such an internecine fray underway, Baker’s managers, if the Ohio delegation were pledged to him, would be in a key position to step in and grab the nomination, it was declared. a a a In line with this trend of thought, these Hoosier Jeffersons and Jacksons deemed it would be wise to have a favorite son candidate for the nomination which would keep Indiana out of any entangling alliances and would place it in a commanding position to start a landslide for Baker when opportune. So the name of Claude G. Bowers, formerly of Indianapolis and Ft.

Wayne, and now New York newspaper man was put forward. And of course there always is the possibility of lightning striking the most impossible objects. a a a By the spread of propaganda in the lobby and with the aid of Dick Wemeke’s personally trained chorus of fifty voices brought from Terre Haute, the Bowers boom was well underway by the time the resolution committee met. But the veterans, such as Dale Crittenberger of Anderson sat on the proposed resolution because of the havoc wrought at the winter dinner when Paul V. McNutt was introduced as the next Governor, and Walter Myers as the next senator. Baker’s friends however still are extremely desirous of obtaining an instructed delegation for Bowers in order that the 28 members shall not split up between Roosevelt, Ritchie and others.

CADLE STILL IS ' SHORT IN 16,000 FUND CAMPAIGN Renews Effort to Reclaim Tabernacle; Tells Story of His Redemption. Still short of his goal of $6,000 necessary to regain control of Cadi e tabernacle, Ohio and New Jersey streets, after services Sunday, attended by 4,000 persons. E. Howard Cadle, tabernacle founder, today continued his campaign for contributions. Cadle Sunday related the story of his life, including his redemption from wordllness by his mother, Mrs. Loretta Cadle, of Salem. The tabernacle was built as a memorial to her In 1921. Two years after building the tabernacle, Cadle was forced to relinquish it, through financial difficulties, to a company which conducted shows, prize fights, marathon dances and other exhibitions This company recently failed to meet payments and the property reverted to the Fletcher American National bank, trustee. After raising the $6,000 payment deficit, Cadle expects to be able to retire the Indebtedness on the Tabernacle within five years by monthly payments. Cadle announced services will bo held next Sunday afternoon. Alvin L. Carter, Tampa, Fla., was in charge of music Sunday, including a choir of 500 voices. The program Sunday was broadcast over WFBM.
