THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BULL FIGHTER DENIES HE IS BULL THROWER Sidney Franklin, Toreador Born in Brooklyn, Sues for $300,000.. By I nitrit l‘rrns NEW YORK. Dec. 21.—The difference between a bull fighter and a bull thrower is $300,000, it developed yesterday in Supreme Court, where Sidney Franklin, American toreador, is trying to collect that sum from Columbia Pictures Corp. Franklin charges he was “maliciously defamed” in a Columbia talking short because an off-stage voice said: “Now folks, meet Sidney Franklin. one of the greatest bull throwers —er—l mean bull fighter ever to be born under the sunny skies of Brooklyn.” The toreador’s attorney, Milton Teiger. opened the proceeding by reading Webster's definition, “to throw' the bull—to lie glibly—or fluently.” “I first heard of throwing the the bull when I was knee high to a grasshopper in Brooklyn,” said Franklin. “I may have thrown some in private but never in public professionally.” Defense counsel asked whether Franklin had trained the bull used in the motion picture, "The Kid From Spain.” “Don’t be silly,” was the retort. “You don't train a bull. He does as he pleases.” “Did you ever throw a bull in Mexico?” “Yes, I did. I was riding a horse alongside a bull and I caught the bull by the tail and threw him.” Justice John F. Carew’ inquired whether Franklin got into the business by watching bulls and cow's slaughtered in Brooklyn abattoirs. The toreador answered that as soon as he noticed during a visit to Mexico City, that bull fighters are revered “more than we do the President,” he decided to make it his career.

HOLDUP VICTIM FIRES ON TWO YOUNG BANDITS Filling Station Proprietor Believes He Wounded One Robber. Tw'o young bandits, one of whom may be wounded, were sought today by police as the men who last night obtained $23 and IP gallons of gasoline in a holdup of a Rockville-rd filling station and then escaped in a hail of bullets from the station operator's .38 caliber automatic pistol. J. E. Branstetter, owner of the station, which is at Stop s’?, told police he knew he had hit the bandit car with some of the six shots he fired at it. Shortly after it disappeared from Mr. Branstetter's view, police learned later, the car stopped and the driver changed places with his companion. This was taken to support Mr. Branstretter’s belief that he may have hit the driver. The men drove up to the station calmly, ordered the gasoline and then, instead of paying for it, drew revolvers and robbed Mr. Branstetter. He was unable to furnish a description of the car other than that it had one cracked window, held together with adhesive tape. Armed holdup men last night also raided the J. C. Grocery, Edinburg, and the Shell Petroleum Corp. filling station at Dearborn-st and Massa-chusetts-av, obtaining small sums in both instances.

The Theatrical World ‘Babes in Toyland’ Is Excellent Film Fare .... BY JOHN W. THOMPSON

Babes IN TOYLAND” contains the lovely music of Victor Herbert, the cavortings of Laurel and Hardy, and the gay fantasy of Mother Goose land, all cleverly joined together in a picture which should have a great appeal to children. The music and story in this picture are happily entwined, neither subjecting itself to the other. Os course the story concerns a hero, Tom Tom. the Piper’s son; a heroine. Little 80-Peep, and a villain, Silas Barnaby, the meanest man in town. The plot is stark melodrama. Mrs Peep, mother of Miss 80, can not meet the mortgage on her “shoe” (she is the old lady who lived in the shoe). But Mr. Barnaby, who holds mortgage, offers to tear it up if Little 80-Peep will marry him. To keep her mother from being thrown out into the street, but much to the dismay of Tom Tom, the little girl who lost her sheep gives her consent. But here is where Stannic Dee (Laurel) and Oliie Dum (Hardy) come into the fray and deceive the villain. There is no call for any great acting in the light, frothy mood of 'Babes in Toyland,” but Felix Knight as' Tom. Tom, - Charlotte Henry, who played Alice in Wonderland, as Little 80-Peep, and Henry Kleinbach as Mr. Barnaby, all do well to hold up the character of the operetta. The comedy antics of Laurel and Hardy have been more skilfully fitted into this picture than in some of the other features they have made and the effect is a more entertaining piece. The boys are employed in the Toy Shop. Stannie makes the mistake of taking an order from Santa Claus for 100 wooden soldiers six feet tall instead of the real order of 600 soldiers one foot tall. u n a BUT when the Bogey-men attack the town, Stannie’s error turns out to be a great stroke of genius, for the six-foot soldiers are called into the battle and drive the Bogeymen away without any trouble. There is nothing heavy about this picture. But there is a great deal of laughter, gayety, delightful music and clever settings in the depiction of Toyland where all of the characters in Mother Goose Rhymes live. The other picture on the double feature bill is “The Band Plays On,” in which there is little or nothing about a band. But it is a nicely turned football story even if it is a bit out of season. The story concerns four urchins of the street who are taken under the wing of a famous coach at Pacific University, Howdy Howard, who trains the boys in the line of character as well as football. There is a lot of football, some swell comedy by Stuart Erwin, who plays the role of Stuffy, one of the boys, and some fair acting by the rest of the cast, including Betty Furness, Robert Young and Leo Carrillo. “The Four Bombers,” as the quartet names itself, forms into a football backfield and goes through high school in a blaze of student glpry. They go then to Pacific Universiay where their god-father, Howdy, begins to make men out of them. A great many unimportant incidents have been injected into the story and seemingly do not contribute
