MOVE TO ANNEX PERKY SCHOOL RONS INTO SNAG Council Postpones Action on Township Fee Dispute. Efforts of University Heights residents to obtain annexation of Perry township school No. 4 to the city school system, to end a dispute between school officials and the Perry township trustee, met temporary defeat Monday night when city council postponed action on an annexation ordinance. A number of University Heights residents attended the council session. L. O. Hannan, who circulated a petition for the annexation, urged favorable action by the council, declaring residents of University Heights have paid SBO,OOO into school city funds in taxes since the structure was built. Started Over Fees Agitation for annexation of territory surrounding the school was started as result of controversy between the school city and the township trustee over school tuition transfer fees. The situation is caused by the fact, that while the township school borders on University Heights, there is no city school there is no city school nearer than two miles. Asa result, 179 University Heights children have been attending the township sehool on transfers, while about thirty-five children living in thp township havo been attending the city school nearest their homes. Threatens Removal Trustee Oran Green objected to paying the higher city tuition fee on transfers and threatened to remove township pupils from the city school. A. B. Good, city .school business manager, retaliated with a threat to withdraw the 179 University Heights pupils from the township school. Despite the difference in tuition fees. Good said, the city pays the township $9,000 a year more in fees than it receives from the township. The delay in council action was caused by request of the school board for more time to appraise the township school, which the school city must buy if the land is annexed. Kills Self With Chloroform Inhaling fumes from a chloroformsaturated towel, George Wallace, 76, of 34 North New Jersey street, committed suicide Monday, according to police. He had been ill several weeks. st—

.‘CRAZY quiet; is ROUGH AND READY Sometimes This ftevue Sparkles Like a Valuable Jewel and Then Reminds One of the Gutter. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MANY times Billy Rose's “Crazy Quilt” sparkles like a wonderful Jewel and then as often it reminds one of a gutter. This revue has Its drawing power in Its three stars—Fannie Brice, Phil Baker and Ted Healy. Some of the performers do not mince words In putting over their Jokes and the audience w’a howling mo6t of the time. I am not blaming any audience. This show is playing to absolute capacity everywhere and Judging by the appiause and the long line at the box office this revue Is giving what is wanted new days. Some, thought last night that even some scenes were rather tame while other

expressed the opinion to me that it was too hot In spots for comfort. But all of them in their difference of opinion ended up that it was a corking good show. The show gets

a rapid start with Ted Healy throwing the entire works into high. He does it by both words and action. The pace of the first part is really breath taking because the beauty and the horse laughs come fast and furious. We first meet Miss Brice helping a tipsy girl In a rest room to take care of herself. Then I Miss Brice in her ■.

oum way sings “Rest Room Rosie” and it is full of meaning. Very soon Phil Baker and his gang of men get busy with the most “prefound hokum” on the American stage. Baker, with his plant in the box, is always funny. His audiences are perfectly at home with everything he says and does. Probably the big song hit of the show is the way Ted Healy and Phil Baker sing “I Found a Million Dollar Baby in a Five and Ten Cent Store.” Then Miss Brice and ensemble touch it up to new heights of rhythm. There is a lot of modern swiftness and horseplay in “Crazy Moments” which is a series of blackouts. As usual “The Swan Dance” as well as the song of Miss Brice is the last word in refined, awkard and artistic burlesque. During the entire proceedings we have Baker, Healy and the gang doing some outlandish bit of nonsense. Baker and Healy stage a nifty in Healy’s dressing room. One of the high lights of this show is the wonderful dancing of Gomez and Winona. A really great dancing team. Miss Brice is really splendid In her burlesque on the lily white prima donna who wants to do a number with the boys of the chorus. The burlesque part of this number is ripping. I found the burlesque on “Strictly Dishonorable” very dumb and very crude. Miss Brice and Baker are the two players in it. The “El Bolero” dance of Gomez and Winona, backed by the good work of the orchestra, is one of the real jewels of this revue. It is a big mixture of extremes in entertainment. Every seat was sold last night and many standing. That’s the answer. “Crazy Quilt” is on view this afternoon and night only, at English’s. tt tt tt OLD MAIDS SEEK LOVE IN THIS COMEDY Although “What, a Woman Wants” belongs to the featherweight division of stage plays, yet it has many laughs. We are concerned with three old maids—Miss Pride Worthington, the mental tyrant of the family who tries to bend her other two sisters to her narrow way of living. Miss Mercy who gets badly bent but gets

her face lifted and gets her man, and Miss Patience, who makes whoopee and starts a revolution in tiie Worthington home. Much is needed in acting or rather characterization to put this play over. Miss Margery Williams as Miss Patience does a good job as the sister who starts the revolution. Miss Beatrice Leiblee as Misg Mercy gives a splendid performance as Miss Mercy who shakes off her drab clothes and goes modern. Her makeup is fine. Miss Margaret O’Brien as Miss Pride is guilty of some bad overacting as well as too loud talking. I suppose that is remedied by this time as I saw the show on the opening night. The comedy knockout in this show is the butler work of Bob Fay. Philip Brandon as John East hasn’t so much to do. Others in the cast are Milton Byron, William Pollard, James Le Roy, Virginia Stevens and William Maloney. Here is a light comedy with many laughs.

crystal gazers and others of this type of mind reading acts do not and never have interested me. Koran is a good showman and probably one of the best in the business, but he is not entertainment to me. The way people eagerly ask him questions and await his answers proves that I am in the minority myself. He knows how to get laughs and at the same time he has a persuasive appeal when he becomes serious. He works rapidly. He is a good showman. Peter Higgins is a young singer who sings well and has the personality way about him which makes him a hit. He is wise in selecting his songs. He had to make a curj tain talk when I was present. Several acts run to rapid hokum. Summers and Hunt have a hokum routine which gets the laughs. It is extreme hokum. Kerr and Ensign ; offer hokum mixed with violin playing. Harold, Mack and Bobbie go in for some good acrobatic dancing. A good routine. Was late and missed the first act. The movie is Marian Marsh in “Under Eighteen.” Now at the Lyric. tt * * Other theaters today offer: “Delicious” at the Apollo, “Mata Hari” at the Palace, “The Woman from Monte. Carlo” at the Indiana, and ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” at the Circle.
