CITY CONSIDERS GIFT OF LAND TO LIUENTER 15-Acre Tract Only Outlet for Future Expansion of Hospitals. Transfer of a fifteen-acre tract to the Riley Memorial Association and Indiana university for future development of the medical center was considered today by city park commissioners. Only outlet for future development of the hospital center, which iow has expanded its limits, is to he west. The tract lies west of the present hospital grounds. Park board members agreed to place the land at disposal of the hospital center, provided legal complications can be removed. H. Nathan Swain, park board attorney, was instructed to study the situation. Discussed by Landon Contemplated future developments that will make the medical center one of the largest in the country were laid before board mem.crs by Hugh McK. Landon, Riley Memorial Association president, Thursday. Another nurses’ home, convalescent homes for men and women, and additional convalescent wards for children are included in the development plans. Erection of buildings valued at more than four million dollars practically has filled the medical center's present grounds, Landon told I the board. Latest addition to the group was the $250,000 Rotarv Rilew convalescent home west of Riley hospital. The city owns all land between the hospital grounds and White river, having previously acquired it for park purposes. All board members agreed it could be put to no better use than for “helping to cure sick children.” Need Special Provision State laws regulating transfer of park property to other governmental units provide that no buildings shall be erected upon the leased tract. Jackiel W. Joseph, park board president, stated he believed some special provision can be made to allow the present transfer. “The medical center has enough bequests, which will come to it, to provide permanent endowment that "Will make it one of the best hospital groups in the w-orld,” Landon said. The park board leased a five-acre tract to the Riley hospital several months ago for $1 a year consideraWon. This has been used only for I driveways and landscaping.

NEW VOICES ARE IN SINGING COMEDY “Flying High” Has the Services of Bert Lahr, Broadway Comedian, Who Makes His Movie Debut at Palace. IP It is supposed that the influx of New York stage celebrities to the Hollywood motion picture studios has decreased within the past year, the cast of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s talkie version of “Flying High,” opening Saturday at the Palace presents a direct contradiction. For here we have a picture, one of whose principals is making his first experiment with camera and microphone and another whose name is a Broadway byword. Moreover, “four out of every five have it,” so far as the other featured players are concerned, for only one of the quintet has not seen her name emblazoned on a Broadway theater marquee during past theatrical seasons. ,

Bert Lahr is principal who makes his talking picture debut in “Flying High,” playing the role in which he scored so decided a success in j the original musical comedy hit. Having worked himself up from the martyrdom of boy soprano singer in high school, through the vicissitudes of burlesque and the vaudeville stage, Lahr became one of Broadway’s most prominent entertainers, winning first place in such musical shows as “Delmar’s Revels” and “Hold Everything.” Chief assistant to Lahr in the comedy interludes of “Flying High,” is Charlotte Greenwood, whose long legs and acrobatic dancing made her sufficiently famous from one coast to the other to induce Hollywood producers to lure her from the enthusiastic Manhattan audiences of “The Tick Tock Man of Oz” and “So Long Letty,” to the more farreaching glories of “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath,” “Stepping Out” and "The Man in Possession” and other cinema vehicles. Os the remaining five featured players, Hedda Hopper stands out as the only one who has not been seen on Broadway in a professional nature in some ten or so years. Up to that time, however, Miss Hopper has her share of prominent stage roles, having appeared in such now forgotten pieces as “A Country Boy,” “Be Calm Camilla,” “Six Cylinder Love” and “The Quaker Girl.” • The Broadway stage of today is well represented in “Flying High,” by Pat O’Brien whose success in “The Front Page,” was preceded by important roles in such recent stage dramas as “Tomorrow and Tomorrow” and “Overture;” Kathryn Crawford, who was one of the attractions in “The New Yorkers;” Charles Winninger, whose drolleries amused Ziegfeld’s “Showboat” audiences, and Guy Kibbee, who followed up a scoring characterization in “Torch Song” with a portrayal of the same role in the screen version of the play, “Laughing Sinners.” ELLINGTON OPENS AT THE INDIANA Ellington enthusiasts wall have a close-up of Duke and his famous orchestra during the week starting today when they feature him on the Indiana theater stage. The unusual type of music which !

has made his original Cotton Club orchestra famous is not Duke Elj lington’s only bid for fame. Even without the orchestra for which his dancing fingers set the tempo on the ivory piano keys, Duke’s name j would be a familiar one as a composer of the weird, distinctive melodies, such as “Mood Indigo” and i “Black and Tan Fantasie,” which have become identified with his band. With several assisting acts that travel with the orchestra during i their personal appearance tour, Ellington and his band furnish the i complete footlight entertainment j bill. “The Cheat,” Paramount’s new modern dialogue edition of Hector Turnbull’s story of silent days, with Miss Tallulah Bankhead and Irving Pichel in the roles originally done by Fanny Ward and Sessue Hayakawa, will top the screen bill at the : Indiana. Miss Bankhead, who has made personal triumphs of her previous American photoplay opportunities, has a more dramatic and suspenseful story in “The Cheat.” Other theaters today offer: Blackstone at the Lyric; “Are These Our Children” at the Circle; “Local Boy Makes Good” at the Ohio; “Frankenstein” at the Apollo; “The Guardsman” at the Palace; “The S. S. Tenacity” at the Playhouse, and burlesque at the Colonial. a a a Neighborhood theaters today offer: ‘The Avenger” at the Fountain Square; “The Good Bad Girl” at the Garfield; “Transatlantic” at the Stratford; “The Sky Raiders” at the Tacoma; “Woman Between” at the Orpheum; ‘Trader Horn” at the Belmont; “This Modern Age” the Mecca; “Transgression” at the Princess; “Gentleman’s Fate” at the Roosevelt; “The Brat” at the Dream; “Caught” and “The Gay Diplomat” at the Hamilton; “Riders of the Purple Sage” at the Irving and Tuxedo; ‘Guilty Hands” at the Talbott, and “Phantom of Paris” at the Emerson. Gypsum from Nova Scotia is used in large quantities as a fertilizer and moisture retainer on peanut farms in Virginia.

HOLDUP VICTIM, OBEYING BANDIT ORDERJS SHOT Lunch Car Worker Wounded Seriously; Bullets Miss Drug Store Clerk. A man was shot and another narrowly escaped being wounded early i today in three holdup attempts by ! two Negro gunmen. Spurred by the shootings, police ! today held a score of Negroes for questioning in connection with the crimes. i Ben Coburn, 33, of 849 North Temple avenue, employe of a lunch car at 1343 North Illinois street, was shot in the chest by one of the outlaws as he complied with the bandit order to go to the rear of the car.

William Moulton, 17, of 25 West Sixteenth street, employe, and Charles Vincent, Wesley hotel, a customer, were in the lunch car when the shooting occurred. The Negroes fled without obtaining loot. Before the lunch 4 car shooting the Negroes had opened fire on George Schaub, 45. of 943 North Jefferson avenue, clerk in a pharmacy at Eleventh and Alabama streets. Schaub told police two bullets w’hizzed by his head as he fled to the rear of the store. The Negroes failed to obtain loot. Schaub said the gunmen demanded he “hand over the money.” The clerk told officers he ran and one of the bandits fired twice as they fled the store. The third strike of the bandits did not involve gunplay. They grabbed several packages of cigarets and fled from the barbecue of J. B. Mangus, at Thirtieth street and Keystone avenue, where Mangus insisted he had no money. William j
