NEWS OF THE WEEK IN BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

BAD TIRES ARE CAUSE OF MANY FATAL CRASHES Punctures, Blowouts Took 2.520 Lives in U. S. Last Year. That 68,930 automobile accidents in the United States last year resulted from punctures and blow-outs was pointed out today by Hollis Nay, of the local Kelly-Springfield OffiCP. Mr. Nay used thpse figures to emphasize the importance of good tires, in connection with the Street and Highway Safety Campaign now under way in fourteen states and the District of Columbia. In the 68.930 miscellaneous accidents, 2,520 persons were killed and 84,940 injured. The appalling loss of life and limb all could have been avoided through the use of safe tires, Mr. Nay pointed out. So important is the factor of tire safety considered by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, who, with nine major oil companies, are backing the safety campaign, that they are using a special poster emphasizing the necessity for good tires. This poster, displayed in ten thousand oil service stations, shows a man and his daughter standing near the wreckage of a car which has crashed into a pole. It is evident that the accident was caused by smooth, unsafe tires. The fourteen states co-operating in the -treet and highway safety campaign are the following: Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvanie, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee. In addition, the work is being undertaken in the District of Columbia. METHODIST HOSPITAL ARRANGES BROADCAST Weekly Radio Talks Will Explain Work to Public.

Edwards Brings Back the Memories of Other Days Maker of Many Big Stars Is Presenting a Group of Young People Who May Be the Stars of Tomorrow. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN I reviewed the current show at the Indiana, something happened which I never have experienced before. The audience actually applauded vaudeville as an institution when Gus Edwards asked if the people in the audience remembered vaudeville in the old days at Keith’s. The applause accorded the memory of Keith’s theater when it was one of the leading vaudeville theaters of the country, is splendid proof that men and women today enjoy seeing actors in the flesh. Mr. Edwards has been on the stage for many, many years, but he has been able to keep the good will and the imagination of a great majority of theater

goers who remembered him in “School Days” and other reviews. He is entitled to the title of being a star-maker because he discovered and developed many of the great

today, such as George Jessel, Eddie Cantor, the Duncan Sisters and many ethers. He glorifies those discoveries of other days in the opening number of his present revue, “Stars of Tomorrow.” Os the younger neople whom Mr. "dwards pr e sents his season, I believe four of them may become what he intends them to be. They are the three youngsters in

Barbara Stanwyck

the trio, known as the Arkansas Travelers. The boy is a wonder in this group. He has youth, talent and has mastered the difficult trick of contacting his audience the second he arrives on the stage. Another one who shows great promise is June Adrienne who impersonates Zasu Pitts and Mae West. This girl duplicates accurately the voices of the people she imitates. Have heard a great deal about the singing of Tony Pagliacci. Mr. Edwards believes this lad will go far, but I must confess that I do not share that impression, judging, of course, by the one performance I heard him. He seems to me to oversing and to use gestures too often. Katharine Rand is an interesting dancer because of her charm and modesty. She is dressed in a long, flowing gown. There are many others who take part in this bill which I rate as mighty comfortable theater. This bill has the flavor of real vaudeville. Once again Lou Forbes and his orchestra presents a pit overture ; which has both charm and novelty. Mr. Forbes opens with a collection j of melodies which reminds one of I New Orleans. The novelty number this week of i the orchestra is the “Famous Men” number, in which Ed Resener imi personates "Good Old Teddy.” This i stops the show. Better become an impersonator, Mr. Resener. This number is a real hit. The movie is Barbara Stanwyck and Otto Krueger in “Ever in My Heart.” Now at the Indiana. b b a FIRST FOOTBALL MOVIE OF THE SEASON. The glorification of the great American college sport, football, is hit right on the nose by the cur- | rent picture at the Lyric, “Saturday's Millions.” It makes no bones about being too romantic, in fact. Director Sedgwick has taken pains to make the picture real, and in doing that thing he has given a lesson to those who that football is just a grand fold sport, played for the honor of winning, for the glory of the school and the rest of the usual ballyhoo. | The picture shows up present day

ousiness lor more than twentytwo years and maintains a complete service for motor cars, twen-ty-four hours a day. Included in the many services is the complete rebuilding of wrecked cars. A staff of experts on fender and body work is maintained. According to Charles Campbell, president of the concern, more than the usual seasonal increase

college football in its true light, in the light of the racketeering and the cheap methods used to make the game a profitable business. The story of “Saturday’s Millions” centers around Jim Fowler (Robert Young), a star of the highest degree, who has put himself through three years of school on the football racket. His father, who played back “in the good old days of '94,” comes dowK for the final game of his son’s college career. His illusions of the nobleness of his son’s football heroism are shattered when he discovers the true reason for it all. Fowler break his hand in a night-before-the-big-game fight in a roadhouse, but in true heroic fashion, goes into the game anyway. He plays a great game although injured and his team-mates, instead of blaming him, console him. In the scenes taken in the locker room before and after the game, the direction is exceptionally well done, for they have captured the tenseness of a pre-game football squad more nearly than any picture of. this type I have seen. Here is the old football stuff, stretched just a little bit farther than ever before, but packed with a message that all football pictures do not have. Now at the Lyric. (By the Observer.) BUM LOOKING OVER “MEET THE BARON” “Meet the Baron” brings together two of the country's most famous comedians, both famous for different reasons and therefore refreshing to a public which has had to put up with old-fashioned slap-stick, pie-throwing antics for so long. The picture is nothing more or less than a glorified radio program with the audience being enabled to

see as well as hear. The story is next to nothing at all, although that situation usually makes for a better setting in which such comedians can display their wares. “Schnozzle” Durante, of the large proboscis, and Jack Pearl, better known as the inimitable Baron Munchausen, have every thing their own way in the film now showsho wing and one

The two have a swell time of it untill the real Baron and Jack Pearl’s Aunt Sophie tie knots in the blanket of dreams. But all is W'ell, when Zasu Pitts, with whom Pearl has fallen in love, falls for him also, and the real Baron is black-mailed into silence. Mr. Durante plays the part of the ever-faithful secretary to the Baron with his usual gusto. One of his best scenes is the one where he attempts to keep actual count of the number of words the Baron uses in a radio talk so that he will not say any more than was contracted for. Thep lay is mere hokum, no more, no less. There have been pictures funnier than this one but there is something refreshing about the way Durante and Pearl do their stuff. A w'ord ought to be said about the w'ork of Ted Healy and his stooges, those face-slapping, headbouncing boys who play an utterly irrelevant but very comical part in this picture. Again, it is because they are something new and different that sells their material. Now at the Palace. (By the Observer.) n n n The Apollo is presenting Leslie Howard and Heather Angel in “Berkeley Square.” I have reviewed this movie at length in this department. It is magnificent. “Footlight Parade,” which has been discussed in this department, is in its second week at the Circle. Other theaters today offer: Tim McCoy in “Hold The Press,” at the Alamo, “This Day and Age,” at Keith’s, “The Three Musketeers,” at the Capitol, “Penthouse,” at the Ambassador, and, burlesque at the Mutual and Colonial.

TALLY-HO ROOM POPULAR WITH DANCING CROWD Peek’s Orchestra, HighClass Floor Show Are Real Attractions. An indication of more prosperous times, according to R. I. Griffith, manager of the Antlers hotel, is the increased patronage of the TallyHo room, one of the state’s most popular night clubs. Since reopening for the fall and winter season several weeks ago the club has played to capacity crowds, he said. Striving to present the highest talent for entertainment, Griffith has engaged Arnold Peek and his Columbians for dancing. Three complete floor show's are held nightly, headed by Cliff Nazzaro, the youthful master of ceremonies, said to be a pocket edition oi A1 Jolson. Starting Tuesday, Nov. 7, Dorothy Hanford, who has danced to capacity audiences in Chicago the past summer, will present an ultra-modern-istic Oriental dance, a high kick waltz and her own interpretation of a Song of India. Miss Hanford is a native Hoosier, born in Sullivan. Completing the cast in the floor show are Dora Lee, a home town girl, whose personality and acting is captivating, and Lea Kennedy, a blues singer. Specialty numbers also are presented by members of the orchestra.

Giant Radiator Order Is Obtained for Acme Firm

Company Has Own System to Clean Coolers of Autos. An order for the giant radiator, in the above picture, was secured by Albert L. Sterstegge, president of the Acme Radiator Company Inc., 623 North Illinois street. The radiator is to be used for air conditioning and its immense size can be judged by comparing its height with that of Terstegge, w'ho is standing beside it and is almost six feet tall. The Acme Radiator Company recognized specialists in the construction and repairing of automobile rad.ators. How'ever they are called upon many times to build a radiator for use in many different fields. Not long ago the concern recived an order to construct a large radiator to be used in cooling the base of an enormous broadcasting tube, used by one of the nation's leading radio broadcasting stations. Many special radiators for racing cars have also been built in recent years. Radiators have also been made for use in dredging machines, power shovels and electro-motive cars used on steam railroads. Many motorists are having the cooling systems of their cars cleaned and inspected in preparation for winter and business has shown a decided increase, according to Terstegge. The concern has its own system of cleaning radiators and the cooling system of an automobile. It is known as the Acme system and all work is guaranteed. An additional service known as the “winterclean” system was recently offered, at a special low price for a limited time.

Realistic! Youth Blacks Own Eye, Tells Holdup Tale.

Robert boyd, 17, of 429 North State avenue, wasn’t “mad” at himself last night when he gave himself a black eye and a gash on his head, but he was rather disgusted with himself today, as he nursed his injuries in city prison. After appearing at a barbecue at Riverside drive and Thirtieth street last night with the “shiner” and scalp injury, the youth, a truck driver for the Grant Poultry Company, called police and related’ a terrific struggle with two giant Negroes, who forced his truck to the side of the Myers road at Forty-second street, and robbed him. Later he admitted, police say, that he inflicted the injuries upon himsplf, striking his head with a crank, to make the holdup story realistic. Officers said he showed them where he had hidden the money, which was reported to be $lO short.

PROPER TUNING OF CARBURETOR AIDS STARTING Exact Adjustment Needed to Insure Proper Performance. Periodical inspection and adjustment of the carburetor on an automobile is necessary to insure proper performance of the motor, according to E. W. Pummill. manager of the Indiana Carburetor and Brake Service Company, 325 North Delaware street. All-round performance perhaps is affected more directly oy tne exactness of the car’s carburetion system than any other factor in its operation, he said. Assurance of a properly designed and manufactured carburetor, and periodical engine tuning, with accompanying carburetor adjustments, will guarantee the exact carburetion that means fine performance and also completely cures the curse of hard starting on a cold winter morning, declared Pummill. Pummill is local distributor for the Stromberg Carburetor Corporation and maintains a complete service on carburetors as well as specialized service on brakes. He also is local distributor for the Bendix Corporation.
