Ballroom Will Become I ‘The Streets of Paris’ Big Hit of World’s Fair Is Engaged for Eight-Day Appearance at Indiana Roof. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Some of the shows which were hits at the world's fair in Chicago this summer are taking to the road. As soon as Tom Devine, manager of the Indiana roof, heard that The Streets of Paris” was going on toi#, he booked it to open at the Indiana ballroom on Friday night, Dec. 1. for eight days.

It. Horter, director of publicity, tells me that "all of the mystery and fascination of Bohemian life in the French capital will be found in this reproduction of the ‘Streets of Paris’.” Here one will see artists and models at work in their studios, the gigolos, the Apaches, and reproductions of famous cases such as the International Bar and the Case de ia Paix. Mr. Devine intends to make the opening night one of the big social events of the season. Following the opening day, the ballroom will open at 2 p. m. and there will be entertainment going on from that time into the wee hours of the morning. The entire interior of the ballroom will be changed for the engagement to make it resemble Paris' Latin quarter. a a a 'Only Yesterday’ Opens And now comes "Only Yesterday.” It opens today at the Lyric. Sixteen years of specializing on one type of story have made John M. Stahl one of the industry’s outstanding directors of domestic dramas. In 1917, Mr. Stahl, then in his third year as a director, produced "Wives of Men,” and ever since he has been writing and directing stories which deal with the problems of the home and the relations of the ; sexes. He has become a master of SHELBYVILLE MAN TO BE FAIRGROUND HEAD James Will Succeed Forest Neal When Contract Expires.

Two men and three women were under arrest today, following a raid by police yesterday on an alleged gang headquarters in the 1600 block Arrow avenue, in which three trunks containing clothes and tapestries, and three barrels of pottery were seized.

emotion, and has made his pictures so consistently real that they have seemed like actual bits of life. Stahl has a firm conviction as to the kind of pictures which always will be popular successes. According to his version, all pictures to be successful must have one prime requisite; htey must be of a nature calculated to appeal to women. Here is a part of his philosophy on the making of pictures, as given to me: "Women, not men, are the main factors in the success or failure of a motion picture. I refer both to the tfomen players on the screen and the women in the audience. "A woman has a far greater chance of reaching prominence in Hollywood, if she has any ability, than has a man of equal talent. Women are interesting to women in the audience, as* w’ell as to men. Men players have a hold on women, but very little hold on men. Our greatest male stars are laughed at and ridiculed by men, but seldom does a woman receive such ridicule. If she does, the women go to the theater anyway, to see the clothes she is wearing.” In the case of "Only Yesterday,” Mr. Stahl spent three months on the story. He came to New York; he engaged three different sets of authors to revise for screen purposes the Allen story; and he went back to California with what he considered the best story he ever had to direct. It is, in every respect, a woman’s story. From the time Mr. Stahl joined Universal in 1930, he had produced for the company notably successful pictures of this type. First there was “A Lady Surrenders,” in which Genevieve Tobin made her debut. Then following “Seed,” came “Strictly Dishonorable,” and, finally, "Back Street.” "Only Yesterday” marks the achievement of the masterpiece of his career, according to Stahl. tt tt tt At Other Theaters Other theaters today offer: Lillian Harvey in "My Lips Betray,” at the Apollo; the Four Marx Brothers in "Duck Soup.” at the Circle; “My Weakness,” with Lillian Harvey at Keith's; “Hot Chocolates’ ’on the stage and Dick Powell in "Cpllege Coach on the screen at the Indiana; Marie Dressier and Lionel Barrymore in "Christopher Bean,” at the Palace, and burlesque at the Colonial and Mutual.

HOUSING PLAN ‘IS GOING OVER' SAYSBECKETT ‘Prejudiced Opposition’ No Bar to Path, Says City Realtor. The Indianapolis community housing project will go through as planed by the federal government, regardless of any local "misinformed or prejudiced oppostion,” Joe Rand Beckett, attorney and Indianapolis real estate man, told the members of the Indianapolis Engineering Society in an address in the Board of Trade building yesterday. Mr. Beckett admitted that public opinion support had not been forthcoming in Indianapolis on the housing plans, but he insisted that "too much misunderstanding existed regarding the basic benefits and plans of the project.” "Many other cities in this country. Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleveland and others, have taken enthusiastically to the federal government plans,” Mr. Beckett said. Points to Unemployment "Our portion will be $4,600,000, and we should avail ourselves of this money in order to get something to show for the taxes w r e shall be compelled to pay eventually,” he said. "The housing plans will put men back to work and will greatly relieve our housing conditions. "Normally, we have about 13,000 men employed in the building industries, but only about 15 per cent of them are now employed. Os those on poor relief now, approximately 50 per cent are those engaged in the building industries. "Approximately 10 per cent of our people now are bearing 26 per cent of our social costs in Indianapolis. The unemployed are organizing and making many unreasonable demands all over the city and country. Our community housing plans will put at least 2,000 men back to work and will stimulate the IoW-cost building field. NRA Is Upheld "We shall have at least a tentime turnover of every dollar in this project, which will mean approximately $45,000,000 of new business in this city. This will mean that our pay rolls and purchasing power will be developed and our retail trade will be materially benefited. "The NRA should have the patriotic indorsement of all citizens, and community housing projects are but a part of the national program which should have the loyal support of all classes of citizens,” he said. Russell T. McFall presided as chairman. He announced that the society would devote a future program for a "round-table” discussion of the project.
