Community Follows W. E. Long Leadership

EXPANSION IS SEEN AROUND CITY AND LAKE New Buildings, New Enterprises Begin Steady Increase With the vision, foresight Mid action displayed by Mr, W. E. Long, in his courageous effort to encourage Syracuse and the Lake Country to expand itself and grow, there is every indication that others are falling in line, following his example and taking part in the forward movement. The construction of the new theatre and business block on Main street here has encouraged several other improvements and j developments in the community. The most recent of these has! been the announcement of the reopening of the old Grand Hotel, ■ According to Seth Rodibaugh, : owner of the .property the fixtures in the building have been, sold to Kerry Rathburn of De-i Mott, Indiana, who has leased the; building and will operate a 1 hotel I and restaurant. The place will upon in a'oout six weeks, Mr. Rocu-. baugh said, after it has been reno- | vated and redecorated. A few weeks ago, George Xandefs and L. A. Seiders announced they plan tq. erect a tour- ■ ist and trailer camp on Pickwick Road, near Syracuse to accomodate vacationers. Roscoe Howard, of the Syracuse J Electric Company is rapidly com- j pleiing his new business property on Huntington street, near Main. | This improvement was broughti X about by the remodeling program | of Mr. -Long. Howard was former-: ly located in the section of the block where the new theatre- will be situated. An old frame structure next the post office on Main street has been demolished and wil’ be replaced! by a new and moderh building to ! be occupied as an office and pro-1 fessional building by Dr. Clifford ; Hoy. A number of Main street chants have considered and are i considering the advantages of re- 1 modeling and modernizing their j places of business. Bachman’s Grocery, next door to the State Bank is the first to. make this movement, also made necessary by the remodeling program of Mr. Long. Bachman’s Were formerly located in the Long Block, and acquired their own; building which was modernized into an up-to-date food shop.; The Garrett Manufacturing ; Company, a wood turning indus- j try that is moving here from; Garrett was influenced consider--2 ably by the Long Block improvemerit. Owners ot this plant went through the block, expressed their enthusiasm and then agreed to move their factory to this grow- . ing and enterprising community. Yesterday, the personal representative of K. Conover, presi-l dent of the Apartment Operating Corporation, 134 North LaSalle | street, Chicago, was in Syracuse i inquiring into; the local develop- [ ment situation. He Stated his. company operates ten hotels and; apartments and indicted that they | are interested 4n the possibilities! of building a modern year-round j hotel or hotel apartment on the little lake in town. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has expressed interest in the development here, and have promised to make some improvements to the local railroad station to improve service and accomodation. Countless visitors are here daily inquiring for this or that, looking over res'; estate, planning to build or buy homes, planning to engage in some business or other, or just ■ looking at the progress that is I being made* Syracuse and Lake Wawasee, linked with the name of W. E. Long, builder, financier and Indiana’s most aggressive citizen, are on the lips of thousands. The program is gathering momentum, like a snowball going down hill. The Forward Syracuse movement, fostered by Mr. W. E. Long is definitely on its way, and the community is beginning to realize its importance. Game Birds Mating -A Sign Os Spring Quail and pheasant at the Jas-per-Pulaski state game farm were cited today as predicting the end of winter and an early spring, up* setting the forecast based upon the groundhog seeing his shadow earlier this month. According to attendants at the game farm the mating season for quail and pheasants began during the past week —earlier than last year but a sure sign that winter is over and spring is here.

CHICAGO HAS 590.000.000 RAISEINRENT Further Advance Expected in Oct; Taxes and Labor Cause CHICAGO, Mar. 11. (INS)— Rents for apartments in Chicago have been boosted an average of 20 percent, or approximately $90,000,000 a year, a survey disclosed yesterday. Real estate firms said 809,000 families have been served notice of the higher rent charges. Nor are. the boosts, most of them effective May 1, the final increases contemplated by real estate firms and property owners, they said. A majority of realtors declared that another similar raise may be expected in the next year to cover mounting taxes and other costs. In addition, the survey showed, the city is threatened with an acute housing shortage because of six years of virtual idleness in construction of new apartments. Finding of Survey Other significant facts as revealed by the survey included: 1. Thousands of families are hunting without success to find apartments suitable to their needs and still remain within their budgets with the increased rents. 2. Chicago property owners have decided they must return rents to the 1929 basis of $75 a month for a four room apartment —up as much as 50 per cent —by 3. An unprecedented migration to the suburbs has started, with scheduled construction of homes up 200 per cent for the Summer in some communities. 4. The housing shortage has brought a boom in real estate, and sharp investors who purchased defaulted building bonds for as low as 3 cents on the dollar stand to profit by millions. 5. In ffll Chicago proper—with its steadily increasing population of more than 3,soo,oo9—there were built in Chicago only enough new apartments to accommodate fiftynine‘families in all of 1936. Figures Tell Story The $90,000,000 figure was reached by records of major renting and management corporations and of the Municipal Reference Library. Lunacy Frustrated By Loud Laughter WALTHAM, Mass., Mar. 11 (INS) —A laugh a day keeps lunacy away. Staunch supporter of merriment as a palliative, if not a cure, for mental ills is Superintendent Roy D. Halloran of Metropoitan State hospital. A musical comedy, “Metropolitan Follies,” presented by members of the hospital staff, kept inmates in high’glee. “We won’t have any trouble handling them for a month,” said Superintendent Halloran, commenting on the pleasure his patients had enjoyed as a result of the show. *

Controversy Rages Over Whether Burlesque Should Bar “Imports” American Chorines Protest Invasion of Girls From Continent; Congressional Committee Holds Hearing! — ik .. .

I By MAURICE MERRYFIELD ; International Illustrated News Writer ; NEW YORK—In dressing rooms and backstage in theaters here and throughout the country the controversy rages—“ Should there be a ban prohibiting EuropeaTi striptease artistes from displacing the stars of American burlesque?” The issue has even been aired in Congress where a legislative comniittee held a hearing on the matters. j The jshapely gals who pack in the patrons at girl shows are emphatic in their opinion that American audiences should be patriotic and patronize the home talent. They point out that an English bbauty or French mademoiselle has nothing to offer that they haven’t. Their indignation at importation of chorines from the continent is so pronounced that one wag suggested that each member of “the line” have an American flag tattooed in ® strategic place where “wave” in patriotic manner as they danced! From Burlesque to Follies! On the other hand, those who habitually spend their Saturday their gyrations would cause it to evenings observing “the sway of all flesh” are rather keen about i the idea of competition. They feel that a spirited rivalry be-

tween the girls might result in uncovering of unexpected talent. Os course such artists as the much publicized Gypsy Lee Rose, Ann Corio or Wanda Hausman are but little concerned over the challenge of their sister hoofers from abroad. Gypsy has left burlesque behind her to estabiuu as a star of the Ziegfeld Follies and a much sought after person at New York social events. Her act is still much the same as when she was featured as strip tease queen at Minsky’s but the tariff is considerably higher. Ann Corio rates as No. 1 among the 200 or more chorines who are doing strip tease acts on the circuit. She led the list in a recent poll conducted by the stage magazine, Variety, and earns a salary which runs well above that of many important executives.

Is It an Art or Not? There are many who look upon the business of burlesque as a rather rowdy and disgraceful affair. To tnem the strip-tease dancer can lay little claim to being “artistic’’. But champions of the diversion rise in defense and affirm that there is real art to the manner .in which a young lady sheds her clothes in rhythm. They point out the elements of drama, suspense and comedy that are employed. They call attention to the fact that a strip tease act, to be successful, must build up to a climax, yet atchieve that effect without running afoul of the law. Be that as it may, burlesque is more of a business than many ' imagine. During the depression the going v/as rather tough, but prosperity has returned and once ag&in the tired business men are in a big way!

SCORES VISIT NEW BUILDING IN SYRACUSE Much Interest Shown As Work Nears Completion Rapid progress is being made on the construction of the new theatre block in Syracuse. Last Saturday, Frank W. Hartzer, contractor, had his workmen remove The wooden shield from the Hunt- ■ ington street side of the block, exposing the amount of work that has been done there. This week, glass workers began placing in show windows and decorative glass on the Huntington street side of the building. One of the i fine features of this section is the ' wide and spacious sidewalk in ! front which gives the block the appearance of being in a truly ! metropolitan area. Hartzer maintains that if the i weather remains favorable, the ! theatre; will be finished before May 1, in time for the scheduled opening, and the coming season, i Vacationers will truly find here, he said, the mcst modern theatre j and building block to be seen any--iwhere. Throughout all .of Northern Indiana, the improvement is attracting . wide attention. Many people were here Sunday and over the week-end, just to view the project, and every day there are strangers in town, inquiring about the store rooms, the offices, the or some other phase of the construction. Work on the theatre is advancing, while store rooms and offices are also being brought rapidly to a finish. Other towns are looking toward Syracuse with mingled pride and envy, and newspapers in other 1 communities, are recognizing the 1 enterprise of Mr. W. E. Long in ; his efforts to help Syracuse ! progress. The Churubusco Truth, last : week carried this front page , comhient: “Ai brand new, modern building ’ is gcfing up. in the business district of Syracuse and will house 1 1a theatre, stores and shops. It is be- > ing erected and financed by Mr. W. E. Long of Lake Wawasee and , Chicago. The building is part of the recent development of Syracuse as a resort center for Syracuse and Wawasee lakes. Leading in the movement to make Syracuse a bigger and better town is the Syracuse Journal, published by F. Allan Weatherholt, a former newspaper man of Cumberland, Md.”
