DEADLINE NEAR IN TIMES' RADIO FAN BALLOTING Voting Ends Tonight at Midnight: Get Yours in Right Now. BY JOHN T. HAWKINS Times Radio Editor Today for the last time, The Times publishes its radio ballot and tonight at midnight the first Indianapolis radio poll will end. All ballots in letters postmarked before midnight will be accepted and tabulated in the contest. No others will be accepted. The contest has ben conducted by The Times to determine the ‘radio-trend’’ of Indianapolis listeners and to find just what programs are best-liked by local fans. So far, the voting has been of a definite trend. Some of the programs believed most popular have received very few votes, and some broadcasts not so. highly publicized have received tremendous support. The results of the poll may surprise you. Don't miss the announcement of Indianapolis’ “most populars” m Wednesday’s editions. The radio vote editor of The Times and his assistants will spend Tuesday counting and checking all votes. If you haven't voted, vote now. Remember, it must be in the mails by midnight. Ballot on Page 8. For a tip-off on the voting we’ll tell you this much: Graham McNamee may beat Ted Husing in the voting for the most popular sports announcer. <Tim and Walt are running neck-and-neck with Jones and Hare in the most popular harmony team class. Harry Bason, Indianapolis pianist, has collected a real batch of votes. Three annopneers, one from the NBC, one from CBS, and one from WLW, almost are in a tie for the etudio announcing honors. Get in that vote NOW.

MIRROR IS HELD UP TO YOUTH OF TODAY Cast of Youngsters in ‘Are These Our Children?’ Trod a Path That Leads to the Grave and Despair. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN NEVER in my life have I seen a movie that holds up the mirror to modern youth in some instances as has been done by Wesley Rugties in “Arc These Our Children?” Ruggles has directed this expose of certain tendencies of a group of nigh school aged boys and girls with a keen understanding of the makeup nf youngsters. I was tremendously interested In the first part of the picture when i good boy (played by Eric Linden) meets his first defeat, that of not winning In an oratorical contest in high school, and turns that defeat nto the turning point of his life, which finally leads him to the gallows for murder while saturated with cheap booze.

Linden gets into the very heart of this natural boy who throws away all the good influences of home to “live his own life” and to get hot under the influences of booze and equally wild boy and girl

companions. This turnover in the character of the boy is one of the big accomplishments of the director and of Linden. Here is the best boy aetpr for his age that I have ever encountered. I am not forgetting the late Gregory Kelly. His natural love-mak-ing with Rochelle Hudson, the good, natural girl of his

* ' ’

neighborhood, is a delight of fine and normal acting. The second that Linden feels the “heat” of a cheap dance hall as well as the easy living program of his sensuous boy friends and girls, a terrific change comes over the boy with such telling effect that I nearly gasped for breath. Here is great acting—unpleasant and tearful, but powerful theater every second. I suggest that you read the serial version of “Are These Our Children,” which is appearing daily in the Pink edition of The Times. I am sure that you will agree with me that here is a picture that has been powerfully and naturally acted by a cast composed mostly of young people. Watch the effect of cheap egotism and the thought that he was smarter than anybody in the world — watch that poison work in the character that Linden creates in this movie. The Circle has a stage show this week and it is corking and often “rapid” burlesque on the part of Charlie Davis and his gang. Davis allows his men to dish out the hot melody. At times things get more dignified with selections in song from “The Student Prince.” The trombone solo is excellent. Davis closes his antics with a nifty burlesque on “Wood.” The ending is so remindful of Chic Sale’s “The Specialist.” Davis also introduces Slim Green, a young colored boy who has built up a big following on the Indiana Roof. Slim Is getting to be an expert on the grunting type of song which is now becoming the fad. And this boy can dance. And Dessa Byrd does some Bernhardt (?) acting in a sketch. All in all, the Circle this week has a wow show. a a a NEW COMEDIAN COMES TO THE SCREEN Probably I should say that a comedian new to the screen has come to the talking musical screen in the person of Bert Lahr who has a splendid Broadway reputation for eccentric comedy. Lahr and Joe E. Brown work along the same eccentric lines as “sound” and facial expression are

their most important entertaining qualities. You will meet Lahr along with Charlotte Greenwood in the moving singing version of George White’s "Flying High.” This is a musical nd I am beginning to think that producers are all wrong in thinking that this type of music is impossible. A nice handling and selection of tunes (one especially

being “Happy Landing”) coupled with the comedy work of Lahr and j Charlotte makes this picture mighty I satisfying entertainment. It is true ! that Lahr in several scenes uses ’ that strictly broad comedy or burlesque method which Eddie Cantor has used for years on the stage and screen. Even at that I screamed when Lahr misunderstands the irections of the doctor in the scene where Lahr is taking his examina- ! lion to be an aviator. This is another version of Cantor’s muchly used doctor’s office burlesque. Miss Greenwood is concerned only in getting a husband and Lahr is trying to get money back of his | new Invention, a “Aerocepter,” an airplane that goes straight up in the air and supposed to come down on the same straight line. These is some laughs and a thrill or two when Bert and Charlotte go up in the darn thing. Charlotte takes a detour coming down and Bert—Well see the picture. The dance formations look like new business and the photography

How to Get Rid of RHEUMATISM New Medicine Drives Rheumatic Poisons from Joints and Muscles or Money-Back. EASES PAIN FIRST DAY Poisons settling In the joints and muscles cause rheumatism. You cannot get rid of rheumatic agony till these dangerous poisons are driven out of your system. That’s why external remedies and pain deadening drugs only give temporary relief. What you need is RU-MA, the new medicine now sold by all druggists that acts directly on the liver, kidneys and blood, and helps expel through the natural channels of elimination the dangerous poisons that cause rheumatic misery. No long waiting for your suffering to stop. RU-MA eases pain the first day and is one rheumatism remedy that's guaranteed to free muscles and joints from painful stiffness, swelling and lameness, or nothing to pay. Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores have so much confidence in HU-MA that they want every rheumatic in town to try It and guarantee money-back if it does not stop all your rheumatic suffering.—-Advertisement,..

is splendid. And the girls of the chorus —Look like they might have stepped out of the cast of any Ziegfeld show.

and as fascinating. The height of this modren wildness is reached when Ivy Anderson sways her body and even her voice in synpeopated motion. Although she was suffering with a cold, and admitteed it, when I heard her, I did not see how that interfered with her strange singing. About the wildest performance I have ever heard or seen —meaning the work of Miss Anderson. Never have I seen a dancing team, this time four colored men, do so much dancing as the dancers introduced by Ellington. Never have I seen so many different steps crowded into a moving and swawing routine as these dancers do. And notice that tantlizing and foot moving rhythm that Ellington gives these dancers. Ellington gives one a great study in modern barbaric rhythm as well as sweet, musical and alluring symphonic backgrounds. You know my verdict of “The Cheat” on the stage and on the silent screen, and that is, there is too much to do about a very ancient tfieme —a cheating wife and a sap of a husband. It was necessary to grab off one of those panting and emotional stories for Hallulah Bankhead, a sensation on the London stage but merely just another actress on the talking screen. She seems to just walk through the part with a haughty, hungry and injured air. I am beginning to think ’ that greatness will never be attained by Miss Bankhead on the screen because there is so much sameness to her every emotion. Be your own judge as usual. Direction is smart but not convincing as to story. Now at the Indiana. tt u a Other theaters today offer: “Frankenstein” now in its second week at the Apollo; Max Fisher and his orchestra at the Lyric; “The Dreyfus Case” at the Terminal, and, “Local Boy Makes Good” at the Ohio. Neighborhood theaters today offer: Jean Harlow in “The Platinum Blonde” and “Come Clean” at the Fountain Square; “The Sin of Madelon Caludet” at the Granada and at the Tuxedo; “Shanghaied Love” at the Mecca; “Merely Mary Ann” at the Stratford; “Adventures of Wallingford” at the Emerson; “Trader Horn” at the Talbott; “Honor of the Family” at the Irving; “Monkey Business” at the Hamilton; “An American Tragedy” at the Dream; “Silence” at the Roosevelt; “Five Star Final” at the Princess; “Pardon Us” and “Mad Genius” at the Belmont; ‘Pagan Lady” at the Orpheum; “Sidewalks of New York” at the Tacoma, and, “Spirit of Notre Dame” at the Garfield. Painful Hemmorrhoids Irritation Stopped—Quick Relieve yourself of those painful piles the RIGHT way. The powerfully healing, soothing, medication of Peterson’s Ointment immediately ends irritation, removes soreness, heals the affected parts, makes those painful, embarrassing piles completely vanish.

LIFE BEGAN AT EARTH'S POLES, SAYS GEOLOGIST First Puddles, Where Cells Were Born, Condensed There, Is Theory. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Life began in rain puddles at the poles of the earth, or, If the fundamentalists please, the Garden of Eden was situated where latitudes and longitudes converge. This, essentially, is the opinion of Assar Hassing, Swedish geologist, included in the annual report of the Smithsonian institution, issued today. Before the first rains no organic life existed, Hadding submits. Because the earth had not cooled sufficiently to permit the condensation of water, the first puddles, he explains, must have occurred in winter at one or both of the poles, and in these cells were born. Hadding does not attempt to estimate the age of the human race, but the report contains a reckon-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ing by Stephen Richars, anthropologist, St. Mary's college and seminary, Techny, 111. Richars presents evidence that human life has existed four or five times as long as Bible estimate of 6,000 and 8,000 years. He argues that man’s tools, weapons and skeletal remains have been found In association with the remains of animals that existed in a sunny period long before the glacial era. A southern elephant, instead of the arctic mammoth, and a hippopotamus, or what was left of them, were found in deposits definitely older than the ice age, Richars says, and with them signs of man. Lovers and poets who have been entranced by the moon and led by her into dreamy mental saunterings may be surprised to know that the moon is in a trance herself. That is, she has a pale and frigid countenance and is actually devoid of life and warmth on the face, but inside her there's a hot time in the old moon tonight and every night. So concludes V. S. Forbes, Cambridge university, England, in a thesis on radio activity in the moon. Forbes states there is such an amount of radio active material inside the moon that it causes the moon’s face to erupt and thus forms the mountains we note. Were it not for this inner energy, Forbes says, the moon’s face would be battered flat, because it is without the shield of atmosphere surrounding the earth.
