Good Talent Found for City’s ‘Follies of 1933’

Director Creager Pleased With Showing at First Rehearsal. “I am very much pleased with the type of applicants who are trying out for the ‘lndianapolis Follies of 1933’,” Jeff Creager, Broadway director, declared at the conclusion of the first rehearsal Monday night at the Severin hotel ballroom. "Usually in other cities, on first nights, the young men and women applicants hang back. Either through bashlulness or a desire to have someone else start things, they wait until rehearsals have proceeded several night before applying,” Creager said. "Here we had a large crowd of applicants, willing and anxious for tryouts. The talent they displayed is very satisfactory. Os course, after the cast gets more acquainted with their parts, rehearsals will be much easier.” The male applicants for the "Follies” tried out first and a num-

home of a son, Albert E. Weaver, 4357 Guilford avenue. She spent most of her life in Dayton. She was a member of the Rebekah order and the Methodist Episcopal church. Survivors are three sons, Albert Weaver and Harry A. Weaver, Indianapolis. and Floyd C. Weaver, Washington; a sister, Mrs. Emma Edwards, Lafontaine, Ind., and a brother, Roy S. Lentz, Dayton. Civil War Veteran Passes Calvin W. (Uncle Pat) Warren, 90. last of the Civil war veterans of Decatur township, died Monday at the home of his niece, Mrs. Etna Warren, near Valley Mills. Funeral services will be held at 10 Thursday at the residence. Burial will be in Greenlawn cemetery at Brownsburg, Ind. "Uncle Pat” for the last two years, had been the only Decatur township veteran to answer roll call at the annual memorial services.

Eleanor Holm that they finally had decided to make it permanent. Jarrett, late last year, was reported to be engaged to Gilda Gray. It was said that he tried to get a marriage license in Boston, but that Gilda was nowhere in the vicinity when the time came for the rites.

ber of pleasing tenors, bass and baritone voices were discovered for the “Follies.” Male talent seems to exceed that of the other sex, consequently Creager has expressed a desire that more girls with ability to sing and dance apply. “If you can walk, I'll teach you to dance,” he said. “So don’t be bashful. Just come on down to the rehearsal hall in the Severin hotel ballroom and tell the director you want a part in the show. Rehearsal time is 7 o’clock.” Several announcements will be made by Creager regarding his more talented applicants. He also has issued an invitation for girl applicants to bring their mothers or sisters to rehearsals as chaperons. The "Indianapolis Follies of 1933” opens a three-day engagement at the Granada theater, starting Sunday, July 16, matinee and night. On the screen with the "Follies'’ is the Paramount thriller, "The Eagle and the Hawk,” starring Fredric March, Cary Grant and Jack Oakie. There will be no advance in prices for this double stage and screen show.

VICTIM, H. FOILS BIG, BAD BANDIT, 13 Knife Wielding Negro Boy Is Held by Police. A 13-year-old Negro is in the Marion county juvenile detention home today because he picked out a 14-year-old hold-up victim who wasn't afraid of a vegetable knife held at his throat. The knife wielder stationed himself at a newspaper substation at Fifteenth street and Capitol avenue and as newsboys returned with their receipts, he demanded, "Your money or your life.” William Chapman, 10, Negro, 541 > 2 West Fifteenth street, looked at the blade at his throat and gave up 2 cents. However, Edward Phillips. 14. Negro, of 524 West Twelfth street, decided 15 cents was too much to surrender, and grabbed at the knife. His assailant missed with a knife thrust and they grappled. Edward got hold of the robber's shirt and yelled lustily. As help arrived, his assailant fled. Police picked up a shirtless, knife-bearing Negro lad a few minutes later and took him to the detention home. BURGLARS LOOT STORE Thieves Steal Coins From Phone and Tobacco Products.
