THEY TELL ME i .TL>
NOW is the time for a!! slate makers to come to the aid of their party, and that is what is being done by almost every one of the Republican managers who fancies himself as a kingmaker. George V. Coffin s Marion county scouts have theirs almost completed. Their first choice for Governor is Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush and the second Frederick Landis, Logansport editor and publisher. And all Caps boys are out fighting for the nomination of Luther Draper of Spiceland, former •state senator and budget committee member, as secretary of state. Joe Shinn. Coffin Seventh ward chairman, who once wore the uniform of a state police captain and evidently liked it. is out stumping the state in behalf of Draper. aaa Bert Morgan, one-time state prohibition administrator, and Harry New, manager, also is a leading candidate. Morgan is depending a great deal 'upon the contacts he made when he and Bert Fuller put over Leslie, a forlorn hope, for the Governor nomination and his past political activity. Then there is Homer Bealls of Noblesville. who seems to be the Henry Roberts candidate. But the managers downstate are figuring on bringing out Elmer Sherwood of Bloomfield for the stat# secretary nomination. Sherwood, who is Green county clerk, is a big shot in the Legion, pprsonable, and also state chairman of the Republican Veterans of Indiana. Inc., which sounds good, even if it isn't a big organization. There seems to be a general feeling. except among supporters of the announced candidates, that Sherwood will be an asset to the ticket, so it is very likely that he will get the call. ft a a Even though she is from the Tenth district from which five other candidates hail, there is a general disposition to nominate Miss Mary Sleeth. who in the years of her state vice-chairmanship did yeoman service for the party. To take care of Vigo county and the Sixth district, many are urging that James O. Leek of Terre Haute, Mary's only announced opponent, be shifted to the auditor post, for which no aspirants have announced so far. The field for Lieutenant-Governor has been increased to three with the entrance Saturday of Theodore Voniv'gut. member of the old Kian Indianapolis school board. So far it appears that Frederick E Schortemeier. former secretary of state and 1928 Governor aspirant, is the favored one. although Joe Kyle of Gary will bring down considerable northern Indiana support. If it should happen, however, that a Governor is nominated from this county, th* convention wii go afield for a running mate. Several announcements of new candidates are expected within the next two da vs. for it's a funny thing hor the bug for office begin* working when convention time draws nigh.

Holmes, attorney, has obtained a change of venue from Marion circuit court of his $25,000 damage suit against Sheriff Charles L. ' Buck i Sumner. The case will tie heard in Johnson Circuit court at Franklin, date depending on that tribunal’s docket.

LOMBARDO EARNS DOCTOR’S DEGREE Leslie Howard Is Last Word in Worldly Smartness in the Gay Movie,-‘Reserved for Ladies.’ BV WALTER D. HICKMAN IF I worp the head of an educational institution and was giving away honorary degrees I would hand out some sort of a doctor's degree to Guy Lombardo. I would givp Lombardo the degree of “the maker of intelligent modern harmony.” Some title, but I hope that I get my idea across. Lombardo's band, Royal Canadians, belongs to that class of musicians who go in for intelligent harmony instead of physical acrobatics while producing noisy sounds. Lombardo is one of the sanest men controlling an orchestra that I have encountered.
He knows the value of musical calmness and the great power of individual work on the part of his musicians while working out unique arrangements for popular melodies. Although not a large orchestra, this organization is able to bring a most pleasing program of tunes of the day. Their music is hot. very hot,
but it does not have that decided uneasiness that so many orchestras possess. The result is a melody calmness that is most satisfying. The entire stage show possesses an atmosphere of smartness which so many presentations of radio entertainers have failed to acquire. One of the
i W&&
Fairbanks Jr.
high lights of the production is the elevation of a pipe organ number by combining a stage picture while the organist is playing. Lester Huff is at the organ during the Masquerade dance and song number. Here is the smartest and most intelligent “organ solo" number I have encountered in the last ten months. Burns and Allen, two comedians, are well known on the air, and they arp real show people. They know their stage and their air. A real success. t John and Edna Torrence are splendid ballroom dancers, and the Reilly kids are clever youngsters as youngsters go on the stage. The dancing chorus is smartly and differently dressed. Good taste controls every second of this stage show. And it has been intelligently and cleverly put together. The movie is Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in “Love Is a Racket." Ann Dorvak and Fiances Dee are in the cast. Now at the Indiana. aaa WALTER HUSTON' IS HONEST POLIjE CAPTAIN Lately we have seen ’Walter Huston as a crooked judge but now we have him as the honest police captain or chief in "The Beast of the City." Do not get the impression that this story is a lurid melodrama of city night life. It is melodrama
and then strong drama. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat most of the time You are concerned with a police captain who is sent to the sticks because he is too hot on the trail of an underworld gang interested in selling booze and operating night cases and other rackets. Then the mayor elevates the captain < Huston > to police chief
A-
Walter Huston
because the law enforcement element were yelling for a cleanup. And Huston cleaned out the underworld and paid for his work by being fatally shot. No more of the story. I didn't recognize Jean Hrrshoit when he first came in the picture. See if you can. Tally Marshall is magnificent as the gang attorney. Jean Harlow shows a little more life than usual. And you can bank on it that Huston's work is correct all the time. Now at the Palace. u • m HFRK IS VERY SMART ACTING Well, lam going to let you in on a little secret, 1 am going to tell

you. just you alone, my favorite movie of the week. And it is “Reserved for Ladies" and it becomes my favorite because of the polished work of Leslie Howard and the equally polished direction and background. The story is a frail little thing but Howard and the others give it a million dollar Tiffany setting. And that treatment gives it a sophisticated atmosphere which elevates the common little story to the heights of artistry. Howard is Gus. the headwaiter at the mast fashionable hotel in London. While off duty he stumbles on to a lovely and charming daughter of a rich man. Daughter and father were staying at the ritzy hotel. But Gus does not show his face when the girl and her father dines in the great arid fashionable restaurant. Gus follows them to Switzerland. A real king is stopping at the mountain hotel in cognito. He recognizes Gus because Gus is a philosopher, a great wit and much in demand by ladies of quality and even of title. The king dines and sips with Gus in public. And the guests at the inn decide that Gus is a prince in disguise. And you must understand how the girl feels when Gus tells her that difference in social position is a gulf that can not be crossed. She thinking that her sweetheart is a prince and she just a commoner. Oh, well see this delightfully acted story. If you are fed up on a corn beef and cabbage movie diet then get acquainted with this wise cracking and wislev-acted movie. Leslie is perfect as the head waiter who hobnobs with kings and other royalty. I believe you will thank me for telling you to buy “Reserved For Ladies." I hope I know your tastes. Now at the Circle. aaa HERE IS A GOOD DATE NIGHT MOVIE If you are looking for a good date night movie or one of those matinee attractions which will make you happy and romantic, then see James
Dunn, Spencer Tracy and Peggy Shannon in "Society Girl.” Dunn is cast as a prize fighter, who through the human and great training of his roach. Spencer Tracy, is ready to fight his battle for the world's champ ionship. Just a few weeks before the big event, up pops a "skirt,” a society girl played by
-
James Dunn
Peggy Shannon. And does she throw a monkey wrench into the works? She does and stops the procession. When the blow-off comes, Tracy has left the prize fighter, although they have been friends “since they stole green apples together.” Then the girl turns her latest thrill down and Jimmie gets scaked on she •'bean” so often during the big fight that he gets knocked out and loses the, fight. Story is a little different. It sure is. But the ending—well, according to Hoyle as far as love is concerned. Dunn is a good actor in these he-men roles. This picture will .-trrngthen his matinee appeal. Tracy, to my way of thinking, walks away with acting honors as the coach who knew that prize fighters and "skirts’ just can’t mix. not anyway a few weeks before a big fight. Miss Shannon is satisfactory as the society dame who wrecks a would-be champion. This picture comes under the head

Conclave of Woodmen to Open July 2

Colonel S. G. Fitch
Annual state logrolling and forester encampment of the Modern Woodmen of America will be held July 2. 3 and 4 in West Baden. In charge of arrangements for the event is Colonel S. G. Fitch of Kokomo, Indiana state inspector for the M. W. A. order. He also is in charge of reesrvations, which close June 20. The forester department made up of uniform drill teams from all parts of the state will camp at Hoosier Club park at the southern edge of the West Baden business district.

which Mrs. Rosenfeld won with the ! jack and then led her queen of diamonds, which East won with the ace. East returned the nine of spades. Mrs. Rosenfeld winning with the king, and West discarding a heart. A small diamond was won in dtim- 1 mv with the king. Mrs. Rosenfeld's next play was. the seven of clubs from dummy—' remember, that East had bid and re-bid and therefore was marked with the missing high cards. When the hand was played, East went in with the queen of clubs, and here is where Mrs. Rosenfeld made a very clever play—she refused to win the trick, playing the six of clubs. You can now see that, regardless of what East returns. Mrs. Robertson is bound to make six more tricks—that is, three diamond tricks and either two spades and the ace of clubs or two clubs the ace of spades, depending upon what East leads. Right at the trick where the seven of clubs was led from the dummy the hand presents many interesting variations; e. g., if East refused to put up the queen of clubs, the declarer would go in with the jack and now gets a very nice play on the hand. Lay the cards out so as to derive the mast benefit from these interesting variations. (CoDvrieht. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.t ] Next—Mrs. H. J.
