Cotton Pickers to Appear on Indiana Roof Black rhythm is vpry pronounced on the Indiana Roof's program for the coming week, which lists the dance music of the original Cotton Pickers and Sue Parker and her Chocolate Box Revue. The Cotton Pickers and their unique style of dance music and entertainment are very well known to patrons on the roof, where they have been engaged for a one week stand each year since they made their debut here in 1929. The spotlight is continuously focused upon Cuba Austin, comedy drummer and juggler, whose antics with the drum sticks keep a crowd in front of the orchestra stage all evening. There has been no change in the Cotton Pickers personnel, although they have dropped the name McKinney. which belonged to the former owner and manager. Sue Parker and her Chocolate Box Revue’s only appearance on the roof to date was made New Year's eve when their fast moving and entertaining performance merited the approval of the dancers. The show, which is built around a creole dancing chorus, is scheduled for 11:30 each night during the Cotton Pickers stay here. Table reservations are offered free as an attraction to persons who prefer to take their dance music and entertainment sitting down. The roof is open each night except Monday and Thursday. The O'Briens to Rest in New York Having completed work opposite Mary Brian in "Ever Since Eve,’’ George O’Brien, Fox star, is expected in New York for a vacation momentarily. He will fly there with Marguerite Churchill, his wife.

Alamo Offers Two Adventure Screen Plays The Alamo offers today, tomorrow and Monday the first city showing of two major pictures. John Wayne, popular western star, will be seen in "The Sagebrush Trail,” a story of a man falsely Imprisoned for murder, and who escapes and sets out for the wide open spaces of the great west in his quest of the guilty man. He is befriended by an outlaw scout and suddenly finds himself part of their band. Just how he manages to escape his perilous position and "get his man” is brought about in a thrilling climax. The other feature is Paramount’s ‘White Woman,” directed by Stuart Walker, and stars Carole Lombard, Charles Laughton, Charles Bickford and Kent Taylor. "White Woman” is a story of the Malay jungles of treacherous savages, woman-starved white men and a beautiful, appealing white woman, a prize for these men who live at the “last stop before hell.” Charles Laughton as "king” of the river country takes a liking to the woman and claims her as his property. Charles Bickford, another self-appointed ruler, claims her as his woman. While these two half-savage men are warring over the girl, Kent Taylor, less savage, wins her love. But in order to have complete happiness, the young pair is forced to put up a desperate fight and nearly lose their love for each other.

Behrman's ultra-sophisticated comedy, ‘‘Brief Moment.” The opening date is set for Wednesday evening, Jan. 24, and it will continue for ofur performances through the following Saturday. Mr. Behrman came to Broadway notice with the producton of a smart comedy called “The Second Man,” which the Theater Guild produced a matter of seven years ago. Mr. Behrman became a working collaborator with Kenyon Nicholson, co-author of the current New York smash hit, “Sailor, Beware!” Together they did several pieces, best known of them being “Love Is Like i That.” He wrote “The Man Who Forgot,” with Owen Davis; “Serena Blandish” and “Meteor” by himself. and has toyed with the movies. “Brief Moment’ was given its tryout in Cleveland and after completing a successful run there it moved to the Belasco theater, New York. Made History The production of “Brief Mtoment” was attended by two items of particular interest. First, Katharine Cornell had take an lease on the Belasco theater, after Belasco’s death, and this was the first attraction under her management. Her husband, Guthrie McClintic, had directed the piece and in the tryout performances in Cleveland had played the leading male role, which afterward was performed by Robert Douglas. Second, Alexander Woolcott, who had attained eminence as a New York dramatic critic, accepted Mr. McClintic’s offer to turn actor and play a comedy parl>—a part which Mr. Behrman had admittedly written with the critic in mind. The Civic management has indeed been fortunate in securing this popular play, which is said to be deliberately based on the marital adventure of a certain rich man's son who tried unsuccessfully to compose his rather confused married life by marrying a musical comedy actress.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BUSINESS NEWS FOR THE WEEK

PAINTING NOW ADVISED; CODE TO RAISE COST Wage Increases Will Be as Much as 100 Per Cent in Some Cases. By Times Special WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13. Property owners who act immediately may still avail themselves of lowcost renovating and upkeep painting before labor costs soar upward under the code of fair competition for the building and construction industry. The bureau of labor statistics, department of labor, attributes a current rise in the cost of building materials generally to slight advances in prices of painte and painting material, following' the passage of the code for the paint, varnish and lacquer industries Nov. 15. The wage provisions of the code for the painting, paper hanging and decorating division of the construction industry would represent, in some instances, an increase of more than 100 per cent in existing labor rates, according to spokesmen for the International Society of Master Painters and Decorators, appearing at hearings before the national recovery administration at Washington. Where Increase Is Felt This increase, leaders in the paint industry point out, will be reflected in the cost of upkeep painting to the home owner, factory maintenance supervisor and office building manager. Much additional expense can be averted if the work is done immediately, they declare, since the code can not become operative until the ‘second Monday after its approval by the President.” The minimum hourly wage scale set up under the code is 40 cents per hour, except in localities where the rate was less than that on July 15, 1929. In these localities the 1929 rate will prevail, provided it was not less than 30 cents per hour. Under the code, however, it is stipulated that other minimum wage rates may be established in certain areas, based on agreements reached between employers and employes through collective bargaining. This may mean higher labor costs in some localities, it is pointed out. Competent Man Defined There is a popular belief that painting must be confined to warm weather, the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association points out, but there is a major proportion of such w’ork which may be done during w-inter months. Property owners also are advised to consult a master painter on the work, whose experience permits him to make reliable recommendations concerning both interior and exterior surface conditioning. An experienced painter is described as an individual who knows paints, can determine in short order whether a surface is or is not in proper condition to be painted, and is thoroughly conversant with the proper ways to apply paint to get the best and most lasting results. These are not so much trade secrets as they are the accumulation of years of practical service and experience, during which he has encountered all manner of conditions and has learned just what must be done in each case to accomplish the most effective results.

City Man Is Leader in Automobile Code Work

National Organization Is Headed by Don Herr, Garage Owner. Don Herr has been very active in the formation of the National Automotive Maintenance Association and has been one of the key men in formulating the industry’s code, which is scheduled to go oefore the President within the next few days. In addition to managing his automotive repair garage, the Don Herr Company, 120 Kentucky avenue, Mr. Herr has been busy these past few months in association work. The national association was formed in June, 1933, and has had several meetings since, both here and in Detroit. The question of a workable code for the automotive repair industry arose in August and aS the chief officer, he led in drawing up the code. In September, Mr. Herr made a trip to Washington, D. C., to offer a substitution to the President’s re-employment agreement. Since, in the interest of the industry, it has been necessary for him to make three more trips to the capital, the last being Dec. 8, when final hearing on the code was held. This last meeting was attended by national leaders of the automotive repair industry. “It is certainly a pleasure to feel that this code business virtually is finished,' he says, “and to know that we have been able not only to render ourselves a real service but to give auto owners real service. This could have been accomplished only through the heartiest cooperation of our whole industry.”

Island of Mallorca Is Urged for Winter Trip

Increase in Tourists Is Recorded by Travel Agencies. By Times Special PALMA DE MALLORCA, Jan. 13. —The winter season holds much in promise for the Island of Mallorca, according to the information given out today by the Fomento del Turismo, which reports an increased interest from foreign residents for the month of December. The local tourist office supplied information to 5,043 requests, the CHEVROLET DISPLAY WILL END TONIGHT Dealers Will Get 1934 Line of Cars Monday. Due to the fact that objections have been raised against keeping open the Chevrolet exhibit at 1100 North Meridian street on Sunday, E. W. Berger states that today will be the last day that the public will have an opportunity to see this show in Indianapolis. The exhibit will be open until 10:30 tonight, and the new ‘Chevrolets, with their much talked of “knee action” wheels, will be placed in the hands of dealers fox showing beginning Monday. Entertainment being provided by Bill Hart and his Casino Club orchestra will be broadcast at 9:30 to 10 over WKBF. Admission to the show is free.

inquiries chiefly divided among English and Americans. Supplementing this interest the agency cites that 1,692 passengers from sixteen steamers visited Palma during the month, an increase of 581 compared to the corresponding month last year. While the approaching winter season gives promise of great tourist expectations, the local hotels and Mallorquins view with apprehension the new burst of energy of the sister islands, which up to now, have been content to remain sleeping mediaeval appendages to the Mallorquins tourist ambitions. The new efforts of rivalry of the surrounding islands are sure to divide tourist interests, according to Robert Nicol, resident manager of the American Export Line, whose steamship line is identified closely with American Mallorca travel and who believes with many steamship officials that the diversity of scenes and the extended opportunity to visit all the Balearics will enlarge the scope of tourist attractions. Menorca, the largest island north of Mallorca, has been visited frequently by British tourists because of its historic interest surrounding the headquarters of Lord Nelson. The island, noted for its white blooming narcissus and floral foliage, is now being featured by a recently formed tourist organization as the “Island of nodding flowers,” the natives preparing to attract tourists by its beauty of scenery and historical associations dating from early Visigoth life to the English naval base. Another formidable competitor looming on Palma’s tourist horizon is the ’ quaint little island of Ibiza lying to the south. This halcyon spot long has been a Spanish tourist retreat for those seeking rest and quietude and is the living product of the artist’s brush depicting pastoral life in the Balearics. Ibiza this summer began to attract visi-

tors by its primitive Balearic customs and costumes, the ancient habiliments and manners now obsolete on the main island. The opening of modern hotels and the more modest prices charged for living with its rustic atmosphere and ancient Moorish influence, places Ibiza in anew role—from a community of primitive curiosity to one competing with Mallorca. The low cost of Ibiza gives the backward sister island a decided advantage as the dollar changed into pesetas allows one to live in quiet comfort for approximately 70 cents a day.

WORK IS BEGUN AT FAIRGROUND FOR AUTO SHOW Annual City Exhibit to Be Held Week of Feb. 3 to 9. Following setting of Feb. 3 to 9 as the week of the Indianapolis Automobile Show, a small army of workmen has been steadily at the task of preparing the Manufacurers building at the state fairground for the exhibit, it is announced by the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association, under whose auspices the show is held. Reports of large crowds at other shows, the outlook for improvement in automobile sales during J 934 have spurred the trade association to its greatest effort toward making the twenty-third annual auto show the most successful, as well as the most interesting in the history of the association. The building is being completely renovated and redecorated for the show, and the association is in constant touch with factories to insure a complete exhibit for Indianapolis. Some concern was at first felt due to manufacturers' difficulties in getting the new models in production, but the association has the assurance of all that although several popular lines probably will not be available at dealers' showrooms before February, every name plate will be represented on the floor when the show gets under way. This tardiness applies especially to those models which have made the most changes for 1934. particularly the radical new streamline cars, and at least three of these will be in the field this year. It is not anticipated, however, that the public will see these cars here before the show. Special attractions for the amusement and entertainment of show crowds are being arranged by the association, which expects the products of a completely changed industry to draw a record crowd.
