‘MASSACRE' IS CRUSADE FILM. SAYS HICKMAN Dick Barthelmess Picture Is Powerful Sermon on Indian Abuses. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Time* Dramatic Editor The subject matter of "Massacre” j Is of more importance than the actors. That, is no reflection upon the movie, but rather a compliment, i “Massacre' really is a lecture on ■ curing the abuses which are alleged to exist upon many Indian reservations. At times it is so straightforward in showing up the criminal
abuses alleged to be heaped upon the Indians that the subject matter naturally becomes a matter of controversy. The criminal attack upon an Indian girl on the reservation and the making of that episode the high point in a trial keeps this Richard Ba-thelmess movie from being a movie for children. Barthelmess

is cast as an Indian who had gone “w r hite man ” by leaving the reservation and joining a wild west show at the Chicago fair. He returns to the reservation and his people when his father is dying from mistreatment by crooked government agents and even more crooked politicians. He Goes Indian From then on. Barthelmess goes “Indian” and with his knowledge of the white man fights the crooked agents and politicians. The picture even goes to the length of showing how Washington is. helpless in fighting the cruelty and corruption exposed in the story. Os course, Hollywood had to give the story a regulation Hollywood ending, making the reservation under the direction of Barthelmess, an ideal hunting ground for living Indians. Here is a propaganda movie of strength. Its purpose is to expose inhuman treatment of the Indians on the reservations today by the white man. Story Often Unpleasant The story is often unpleasant. On the whole it has been well acted by Ann Dvorak and Dudley Digges. The best acting is turned in by Digges as the crooked government agent. It is an adult picture and a serious one. Whether the subject matter is overdrawn or not. I do not know. I do know that the material is effective melodrama. “Massacre” is a part of the double bill now at the Indiana. The other feature is “The Crime Doctor.” with Otto Kruger. Here is another “perfect crime” story that turns out to be just another Hollywood so and so. tt n n On View Here Today The senior class of 1934 of Shortridge at 8:15 tonight will present the farce. ‘Officer 666,” at Caleb Mills hall Indianapolis theaters today offer “Secrets of the Harem” on the stage, and Joe E.

The family well fortified with skaters, will send three representatives to the event to be held Saturday, May 26, at Tomlinson hall. Arf early burst of speed was shown by Jesse, 13, when, after hearing of the derby from his brother Paul, 11. a singer on the Block company weekly radio program, he checked through The Times, read details of the contest and made a special trip to Block's boys’ department to become the first entrant. • Velma, 10-year-old sister of the twe boys, became the first entrant in the girls’ events when she personally presented her entry blank to the derby editor.

Pupils from other schools also have gotten the fever and a steady increase is being made daily in the number of entrants in the three racing classes. The third class, that for persons 18 or older, is expected to bring out some of the best skaters in the state. Regular skaters throughout the city are practicing almost daily for the long grinds in which they are eligible to participate. A quarter-mile three-legged race, in which tw r o contestants w'ill be strapped together, will be open to all entries, and is expected to provide spectators with a laugh.

Let’s say something about women and Drewrys Ale Women seem to prefer it to beer, because Drewrys’ taste is mild instead of bitter. They also prefer to serve it instead of highballs when there are men in the party because Drewrys has all of the kick of a highball without any of the kick-back. And that’s very important in making a high-spot evening with a mixed crowd. Drewrys, in spite of its mild taste, has plenty of authority. Don’t worry about that.
