MARION COUNTY CAN'T SAVE ON BILLS Present Burdensome Rates $29,963.64 in 1931; Barrier to Economy. Utility bills, under burdensome rate schedules, cost Marion county $29,963.64 during 1931 and threaten to be a huge barrier to any governmental economy program for 1932. County commissioners have started pruning other expenses, but said today they see no way of lessening expenses for light, water and heat in county institutions. These three commodities are only ones which the county is forced to buy without competitive bidding. , Commissioners must accept bids of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company and the Indianapolis Water Company at rates said to be excessive, because no others are offered, “Unless rates are changed, our huge utility bills stand as expenses on which no economy can be effected this year," Commissioner George Snider declared. Largest item in utility expense for 1931 was $19,451.34, paid for light and heat for the courthouse and jail. Light bills at the Children’s Guardians home amounted to $1,354.51. Sprinkling the courthouse lawn and scrubbing floors at the courthouse and jail cost the county $6,026.46 for the year. Auditor’s records show the Indianapolis Power and Light Company collected a total of $22,720.89. This included the following bills: Detention home, $115.92; Negro Orphans home, $990.32; Julietta insane institution, $214.15, and poor farm, $594.64. Water bills totaled $7,242.75 for the year. Besides the large courthouse water bill, commissioners listed other water bills as follows: Negro Orphans’ home, $599.16; detention home, $117.52, and guardians home, $499.71,

BRANDON GETS FUN OUT OF SOUSE SCENE Ike Rose’s Midgets Go In for Singing and Dancing in Very Smart Costumes at the Lyric This Week. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SINCE Philip Brandoc has been in town, he has never given a more sparkling and spirited performance as the souse who wakes up in a cabin on an ocean liner with a beautiful girl in the same room. I am speaking of "Just Married, ’’ a nifty farce which was a substantial meal ticket for Anne Nichols many years before she ever dreamed of "Abie’s Irish Rose.” There are many things in favor of the way the Charles Borkell players are doing “Just Married” at Keith’s this week. One of the accomplishments is the way Milton Byron has directed this farce.

It has the right tempo and the second and third acts are splendidly

speeded up, especially the bedroom cabin scene. Brandon walks away with this scene, although he is dressed mostly in his undies or what ever you call ’em. Margery Williams adds to the fun the way she carries on when she discovers that her cabin companion is not an old lady. Byron also has seen to it that

the lights are much better handled and in this way the illusion is not damaged. The sets are realistic and attractive. As "Just Married” has been done here several times it is not necessary to go into the story again. It is gay fun and well done, exceptionally so on the part of Brandon and Virginia Stevens as Mrs. Jack Stanley, the newlywed who just tells everything she knows and a little bit more. William Pollard has a good time playing Jack Stanley, the husband of the talkative wife. This show is going to click strong and deserves to because it is good light fun, Now at Keith’s. antt ROSE’S MIDGETS ARE VERY TALENTED Ike Rose has been in this midget business for many years and he has kept his standard to a very high level. Rose allows the midgets to use their own singing, dancing and

comedy talents. He does not go in for elephants, horses and the like for contrast in size. He has this season what I might call a Midget Ziegfeld Follies, if I may use that expression without going to jail. Some of the dance numbers are outstanding, such as the opening group. There is one thing about Rose; he has supplied his midgets with a wonderful warbrobe. The little people are extremely talented in song and dance. The little master of ceremonies is a knockout. Here is one act that will please people of all ages. Karoli Brothers go in for human balancing on a perch and the like. Charles Brugge is an eccentric instrumentalist who plays an instrument while standing on his head. Bernard and Henrie are two women who go in for harmonizing with some rather rapid songs along the line of parody. Sidney Page has the effective services of two eccentric women and a man. This act has laughs and speed. These people know how to put over this sort of theater. The movie is “Nice Women” with Frances Dee and Carmel Meyers. At the Lyric this week. u U u % Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: "I’ll Leave It to You,” a special production, at the Civic; ‘‘She Wanted a Millionaire,” at the Apollo; “No One Man,” at the Circle; “Freaks,” at the Palace; “Shanghai Express,” at the Indiana, and burlesque at the Colonial. On Wednesday, at the Circle, “Die Privetsekretaerin,” in German, will open a two-day engagement.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ENESCO PROVES HE IS MASTER OF VIOLINISTS Never Was Schumann’s Sonata More Splendidly Played. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN I heard the most tremendously beautiful playing of Schumann last night at the hands of Georges Enesco, violinist, that I have ever witnessed in my life. Am not forgetting one or two other names of great players who probably have more world acclaim than this man. But this fact remains, Enesco's playing of Schumann’s “Sonata in D Minor,” especially the third movement, was so tremendously beautiful that I cried. It may be silly to state that people cry at beauty in great concerts but I did last night and I was not the only one. Neither am I ashamed. When musical beauty becomes so radiantly beautiful that it hurts, then it is perfect art. That is the way Enesco’s playing of Schumann’s sonata last night appealed to me and the effect must have been universal. After the playing of the third movement with its delicate passages, difficult fingers and other technical attributes which produce the beauty of this passage, Enesco just left me limp. I am ready to go on record now that if Fritz Kreisler is accepted as the greatest living violinist, then I am ready to state without any apology that Enesco is rapidly getting ready to challenge that position. Even in his first number, “Kon-

zertstueck, -A Major,” by Saint3aens, the mood of the violinist was reflected. He was going in for careful beauty. He was the powerful master at all times. In a Mozart composition, this sense of vast proportion and beauty of tone was apparent. And in speaking of Enesco, I must not fail to pay tribute to the work of Sanford Schlussel at the piano and the violinist shared his tremendous ovation following the Schumann sonata with his accompanist. My sincere admiration for Enesco in no way reflects discredit upon the spirit and the ability of the members of the Indianapolis Maennerchor, wh-> shared the program with Enesco at the Academy of Music last night. The chorus opened with two Beethoven numbers. Interest centered upon the first number of the second group and the beautiful encore which followed. Karl Reckzeh, who has conducted the chorus for years, again led the singers. My only regret was that other engagements forced me to leave before Enesco began his final group.

CREDIT BILLS IN ‘PEACEPARLEY’ House, Senate Agreement Is Sought to Spur Passage. Bp United Brest WASHINGTON, Feb. 23—Representatives of the senate and house have been summoned in conference today to compose differences between the Glass and Steagall credit and currency expansion bills. A compromise measure, upon which the banking and business community evidently is depending for an immediate improver tent of conditions, is scheduled for final enactment this week. Such speed depends on amicable adjustment of a dispute developing between the
