pictures which have ever been shown
in Hammond or its vicinity is the $780,
900 production known as the Fall of
Troy"
When ii is known that scores of re-
productions can be made of single
film of moving picture the average
person can only be brought to an ap-
probation of the asons for spending
$4,000 in staging and taking such a
picture as will be shown at the Gem
theater tomorrow afternoon and even
ing.
The Fall of Troy is said to be the
most stupendous project that has ever
been attempted in the way of repro
ducing an historical event The lovely
Helen of Troy will be pictured and ex-
citing scenes of the fighting that took
place outside of the walls of the city
will be shown.
The most exciting scene will be that
where the Trojans are seen taking
the wooden horse into the gates of the
city and finally accomplishing their
own downfall.

city would eventually make itneces-
sary to have another thoroughfare to
the north side. and that he is opposed
to the closing of the street. He point
ed to the fact that there is room for
enormous development on the north
side and that when 1t finally takes
place two streets will not be enough to
carry the traffic between the north and
the south sides of the city.
j. J. Run stated today that he is
opposed to the closing of Johnson
street. He declared that it will not be
long before another thoroughfare be-
tween the north and south sides of the
city will be needed
Betz Presents His Side.
None of those who oppose the clos
ing of Johnson street are disposed to be
hostile to F. S. Betz. They admit that
Betz is one of the big men of the city.
and that in building up the big institu-
tion on the north side that he has done
much for the city. They believe, how
ever, that Mr.. Betz can find some other
means of expanding his plant ard that
he is asking too much to close the only
street that could be logically opened
to the south side.
In fairness TO Mr. Betz, who is one

the general public should know just
what is involved in his project and
should be acquainted with the plans
that he seems to think makes the clos
ing of the street absolutely necessary.

tablishing OF new industry in Ham

Mr. Betz states further that in order
to establish this new industry here in
Hammond 1t is necessary for him to
have adequate trackage facilities. He
can find no other place to extend tracks
northward, except to run them north
on Johnson street
Betz also admitted that one of the

Johnson street is to make his plants

practical to conduct a plant with one

| the other part on the other.
Betz argues that while 1t would be
