This is an old complaint, of course, but the pr esent | attack was an acute one, brought | by the many special broadcasts | from Europe or concerning the for€1811 Crisis It didn't happen to be the Apollo] manager who made this statement. But the Apollo is offering a countertraction in its current bill which | may lure the wary patron from his uss ide.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES BRINGS 'WOO WOO' TO LYRIC

And here is another loc visitor from Hollywood, being, of course, the movie comedian. Mr. Herbert than a station-stop visit, however for he'll fill a wek’s engagem®nt on the Lyric stage, where he will be offering that famous “woo woo” humor Mrs. Herbert is appearing with him,

william J. Reilly, in the days &— when he was assistant manager of the Roxy Theater, knew she loved the movies and made it a point to be first in line when the show changed. He formed the habit of ushering her into the theater in advance of the boxoffice opening and taking her to the seat down front where she always sat. Years passed, Mr. Reilly lost his job, the Roxy closed tempo= rarily and Mrs. Elliott transe ferred her loyalty to the Radio City Music Hall. When the show bill changed, Mrs. Elliott would appear at the Music Hall early in the morning. Her face became familiar to attendants and she acquired another special seat down front.

” » ”

RS. Rosalie Spatcher Kniskern of the Music Hall ballet noticed the little old woman seated in the orchestra during rehearsals and got in the habit of spending her time off stage chat ting with Mrs. Elliott. Meanwhile, Mr. Reilly had lost out altogether and become a $52« a-month attendant at the Vet erans’ Hospital in the Bronx. Mrs. Kniskern continued in the Music Hall ballet. Last Thursday Mrs. Elliott, 70 vears old, suffered a stroke. On Friday she died. She left her fortune, unofficial
