Off The Backboard BY VF.RN BOXELL

INDIANA resumed its net holiday today, but Mr. A. L. Trester. commissioner of the I. H S. A. A promised a renewal of banking next Friday morning at Butler fieldhouse, Sixteen banking squads, w hich survived the regional crash Saturday, are prepared to rush inflated leather into circulation. Forty-eight teams, survivors of the first tumble a *eek previously went off the goal .standard Saturday. Two hoops will receive deposits next Friday and Saturday, guaranteeing one point for foul goals and two points to the bucket on field baskets. Dope sheets will not be reconized by scorers as negotiable paper. Confidence was expressed in sixteen towns. Fear has been chased. Trester, using his war-time powers, has announced there will be no hoarding of tickets, and 16,000 Hoosiers will cheer the re-opening of hardwood banking. The Indiana coaches’ congress will meet in extra-ordinary session Thursday night at the Antlers, at which time an effort will be made to put Hoosler prep athletics on a sounder basis. —With special permission of the copyright owner.

He must dust out places for Beaver Dam, Franklin, Hazleton, Michigantown and Wakarusa. Beaver Dam, where there arc fifty-nine students enrolled in the school, thirty-three of them boys, —ten of them playing on the basketball squad—is the “midnight” of the outfit. Five boys have played every sectional and regional game for Beaver Dam—no substitutes. Michigantown isn't exactly entitled to a dark horse rating. The conquerors of Frankfort and Lebanon, among others, are unbeaten this year in some thirty starts. They get the first shot at Logansport, the people's choice, w'hen the curtain goes up next Friday. Hazelton is all enthused. Your correspondent was roused from his usual Monday morning lethargy by three rabid Hazelton fans, who telephoned that the downstaters would be showing the wise boys some fancy surprises next week-end. The Indianapolis chapter of the Hail Hazelton Society is planning a big dinner for the Evansville survivors when they reach the big city next Thursday night. Hazelton has won twenty-eight out of twenty-nine games this year, and all seventy-five of the high school students are whooping it up today. Wakarusa. which should provide the radiocasters with some anxious moments, is the new "northern plague.” They bumped off Winamac, last year’s runner-up, in the Mishawaka finals. Its the first trip to Indianapolis for Wakarusa, which won eighteen out of twenty-two games this year. But the big surpirse is Franklin. Fuzzy Vandiver and his team won the hard-luck championship during the season. They dropped more one-point games during the campaign than the Cincinnati Reds. Their only triumph of the season was scored at the expense of Columbus. It was a surprise. When the Franklins knocked off the Bulllciogs again in the regional finals, it was a double dose of surprise—but a pleasant one. tt tt tt A1 Feeney has microphoned Muncie into the •’selected” class, Boss Eddie smiles broadly at the mention of Beaver Dam, and your correspondent answer, even in his sleep, GREENCASTLE!

ARGUE VALIDITY OF BANK FUND GUARANTEE LAW Court Asked to Decide on intended Safeguard for Public. Validity of anew law providing for creation of a $3,000,000 state sinking fund to guarantee bank deposits of public money was argued today before Superior Judge Clarence E Weir. The law, passed by the 1932 special assembly, replaces an act requiring banks to put up bonds to one-half of public deposits. It is designed to safeguard public funds by diverting interest on the deposits to a tuna to be held by the state treasurer. Governmental units would be paid from the sinking fund amount cf their deposits should a bank collapse. Weir, in a petition for declaratory judgment filed by Timothy P. Sexton, Marion county treasurer, is asked to decide constitutionality ol the act. The court also is requested to designate on what type of public* funds Lie interest mignt be diverted to tne sink .g fund, if the law is valid. attacking the law today contended the new law does not include Barrett law' funds in its scope. An act, recently signed by Governor Paul V. McNutt covers the Barrett law matter, it was argued.

ORR MAY PROBE ANDERSON H. S. ATHLETIC FUND Special Request for Quiz Necessary, Says State Examiner. Investigation of handling of the Anderson high school athletic fund will be conducted by Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts if he receives a request from the Anderson school board, which now is in the process of reorganization. Revelation that Anderson school officials defied the I. H. S. A. A. and instituted a system of letting its athletic coaches share in a percentage of the profits, played a prominent part in Anderson’s suspension from the association almost on the eve of the state basketball tournament. Orr explained that sinc't the athletic fund is a special fund, his department can not act until requested. Such a request is expected when the Anderson school board is reorganized. Disciplining of the school by the I. H. S. A. A. board of control has resulted thus far In the resignation of W. A. Denny, veteran superintendent of schools; Everett N. Case, basketball coach; J. L. Thalman, principal, and Mrs. Margaret Earley and Linfield Myers, board members. Orr has two of his examiners, Carl Major and Clarence Wertz, now in Anderson on routine work in connection with other funds. They are ready to examine the athletic fund, if Orr receives a request.

By United Press OTTAWA, Ontario, March 13. Socially eilte women, who go to Rideau hall (residence of the governor general of Canada) with ostrich plumes bobbing from their heads are not a whit different from Indians who deck themselves out as eagles and perform their aboriginal dances on the reserves, in the opinion of Allan W. Neill, British Columbia, independent member in the house of commons. A sligntly startled house heard Neill promulgate this view when Honorable Thomas G. Murphy, minister of the interior, moved an amendment to the Indian act, providing that the Redmen could not dress in their original costumes without the permission of the Indian agent.

Mae in Movies Suggests What She Was on Stage

John Gilbert’s Voice Is Better Than It Has Ever Been in ‘Fast Workers’; Lee Tracy Has Funny Role. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MAE WEST is still a flaming person in her nrst movie, of which she is the star. But she doesn’t flame as much in ‘‘She Done Him Wrong" as she did in its “legitimate” stage cousin, “Diamond Lil.” The hurry-up wagon of the police will never turh out to arrest Mae for doing Lou in “She Done Him Wrong.” On the stage years ago Mae used those stunts of the law for more advertising purposes than the "learned” police ever thought. This Mae West is a wise girl, because sne knows just how far to go. That quality has made her one of the most clever showmen in the business.

And she knew just how far she could go with a modified version of “Diamond Lil” under the title of “She Done Him Wrong.” In the movie version, you will find Mae as a Bowery queen decked up in dia-

monds and the crazy styles of dress of the gay nineties when a scuddle of suds was a scuddle of suds. As Lou or Lil, call her anything you desire. Miss West brings to the character a difference of walk and talk that will strike you right in the eye and the ear. She is rapid, human, coarse, naughty, wise and

Mae West

always a good sport in this character. Her men victims range from saloon keepers and ward healers, even to a mission worker—whatever that means. But the story is changed to allow the mission worker to be a detective, a man who always gets his white slave workers. And so you see at the end of the movie version of this story. Lou very happy in a taxi in the arms of the detective. Mae puts over a number of songs that smack 1 of the old burlesque days. They will never sing these songs at a Sunday school picnic. You will be surprised to see that Mae is one of the best looking women on the screen. She is an apostle (if that be the right word) of rowdy burlesque, but it is not near as hot a brand as she used on the stage. Yet, she is still theater. Her support is good as Cary Grant, Gilbert Rowland. Noah Beery, Sr., and Rafaela Ottiano are in the cast. Here is differently flavored theater—rowdy, noisy and husky. That’s Mae West. And as usual this woman gave me a mighty kick and gave me loads of laughs—burlesque laughs. Now at the Indiana. o tt tt GILBERT IS A SURPRISE THIS TIME Here is some news I believe that you will want to hear. In “Fast Workers,” John Gilbert has a nifty, wise-cracking role that is a delight. You know. I have been singing the John Gilbert blues for a long

time. Really, ever since he tried to talk. But his voice and mannerisms make Gunner Smith, a steel construction worker, in this story one of delight and interest. Here is pretty good theater, done in a rapid, breezy style with Gilbert acting in the right way iin character) every 7 second of the time. This darling of so

r * s /

John Gilbert

many dress-suit-dramas is real beman in every-day work clothes with men on the steel framework of a great building. Even away up in the air, Smith and fcis best pal. Bucker Reilly, played by Robert

world-famous child specialist of Chicago, studied the cases of 500 boys and 500 girls, and found the girls starting to talk one month

Armstrong, get their women all mixed up in their talk and their dreams. This leads to a near tragedy with Gunner in a hospital bed, but still playing pranks on Bucker and his gals. Some of the situations in conversation reminds one of “The CockEyed World,” but there is no war background. Here is he-man talk as heard in this work of work and chasing skirts. This Gilbert picture is adult theater, with the men probably getting a bigger kick out of it than the women, As Gilbert was a surprise to me with his natural, human work, just so was the Mary of Mae Clarke, a wise gold-digger, who always had a grandmother or a mother dying when a male sucker is present with a healthy pocketbook. This character is breezy and even a little Mae West in tone and action. It is over Mary that Gunner and Bucker have all their trouble. When a picture comes under the head of interesting and amusing theater, then I give it credit. Whether you have an appetite for Gilbert or not, you will be glad to know that he is sitting pretty in this movie. Now at the Palace. a u a LEE TRACY IS A SOLIDER THIS TIME Lee Tracy is a hard, two-handed fighter in “Private Jones” in more ways than one. The fact is he is a better fighter out of the trenches than in. This i story is not too seriously war. I thought I would tell you that because I was afraid you might pass this one up as just another war : movie. Here is a comedy with Lee Tracy as Bill Jones first trying to keep out of war and then keeping in the kitchen of the army because j he just couldn’t make his fists and ! his tongue obey regulations. And j the love story is different than you expect. In fact, his dream love affair seriously affects the way he bends or doesn't bend to army discipline. And that is just what this story is—how one guy did or didn’t do what was told. And Lee is certainly a different sort of a hero, even when he is telling German of- I fleers in their own camp how to run the war. Will tell you that Lee Tracy is as good as ever in this wise cracking and siftly moving character. The fact is, he is probably better. He gives you real theater. You will howl at the comedy j antics, done in all sincerity, by Walter Catlett, who sees that the “dear boys” not too near the front have cigarettes and a song fest. Donald Cook is all right as Lieut. Gregg, who dishes out the discipline to Bill Jones. Gloria Stuart is sweet and sensible as Mary. Good laughing theater is “Private Jones.” Now at the Apollo. Other theaters today offer: “Calvalcade,” at English’s, twice daily: “42nd Street,” at the Circle: ’The Spanish Kid,” at the Terminal, and, burlesque at the Rialto.

The City in Brief

After firemen had made a run Sunday to Fourteenth and West streets on a false alarm, Ray Taylor, 23, Negro, 716 Darnell street, was arrested on a charge of causing the alarm. Police took him into custody a block from the point to which firemen had been called. Fermor S. Cannon, head of the Railroadmen’s Building and Loan Association and president of the Indianapolis branch of the Home Loan Bank, will address the Law Society at a luncheon Tuesday in Washington. Following filing of remonstrances by fourteen adjoining property owners, the works board today dropped plans to resurface Central avenue from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-eighth streets.
