Once more the concrete and black-top “pressure” groups are causing a delay In awarding the paving contract for State road 37, from Madison to Versailles. Discussion of the project by state highway commissioners Wednesday resulted in continued deadlock and makes the project the most delayed in commission history.

Wedeking again Is taking a stand for Kentucky rock asphalt, despite its being the high bid. In Controversy Two Years • The matter has been postponed for some future date,” was the commission report today. Majority commissioners are said to favor bituminous retread at at $10,309.02 a mile, bid price.

Three letters to Attorney-General James M. Ogden resulted in failure to pave the way for black top paving without competition. Finally bids were received and the project now is ready for action, if commissioners can agree upon the matter.

GERSHWIN COMEDY TO OPEN AT INDIANA

Musical Comedy to Be New Feature on Bill for a Week in Addition to 'Strangers in Love’ on the Screen/ ON Friday at the Indiana theater, George Gershwin's musical comedy, “Girl Crazy,” will open a week’s engagement as a part of the regular bill. The musical comedy will run an hour and a half without intermission for four shows a day and that will not interfere with the screen policy as Fredic March in “Strangers in Love” will be the talking feature. “Girl Crazy” commands attention because of the Gershwin score which includes: “I've Got Rhythm,” “Embraceable You,” ‘‘Bidin’ My Time,” and others. An augmented orchestra will be in the orchestra pit and Ed Resener

will probably direct. A special crew of stage hands will be necessary to make the many scene changes as the show is in two acts of three scenes each. The cast has in its ranks such players as Frances Upton, Bert Gordon, Vivian Janis, Pat Garrity, Floria West, the Vitaphone Four, Hal Thompson, Lew Parker, and Donald Foster. For the past several weeks, following the close of its regular run in Chicago as a legitimate theatrical attraction, “Girl Crazy” has toured Detroit and other key cities in its present manner, playing at large de luxe picture theaters on the stage. The engagement of ‘‘Girl Crazy” at the Indiana theater will not alter the theater’s regular policy of presenting talking pictures, according to B. V. Slurdevant, zone manager of Skouras-Publix. A full-length feature film will be shown in conjunction with the one-week stand of the stage musical comedy. The following week, the Indiana j is to resume its recently-adopted "straight sound” policy. According 'to reports from the theater offices, “Girl Crazy” was ob- ! tained at an expense greater than j any other stage production ever to play in an Indianapolis picture j theater. tt tt tt COLORED ORCHESTRA BOOKED AT INDIANA ROOF McKinney's (Original) Cotton Pickers have been booked by Manager Tom Devine of the Indiana Roof ballroom, to play a three j nights dance engagement here,j starting next Friday, March 4.
