Gov. Goodrich in his proclama-
ton calls attention 10 the fact that
there never was a time more pro-
pitious than the present for a care

I'VE are now approaching one Of
the most important dates in Amer

quarrelsome colonies into a united
and compact nation. nation whose
progress and development has
served as a model for three peoples
from that date to this.
The celebration OF Constitution
day has never been as general as it
should be. Certainly there never
has been a time more propitious
than the present for a careful and
sincere study Of the great document
which brought our government into
being In the unsettled times of
the last few years statesmen have
shown a tendency 10 stray away
from the paths designated by the
constitution, and following them
the people. in some instances. have
regarded too lightly the force and
binding effect OF the document
which has made us the great united
force that we are.
The time is ripe and proper for
a revival OF our interest in and our
veneration for the constitution of
the United States. In order that
this revival may be brought about,
therefore. I. James p. Goodrich
governor OF Indiana, do hereby des-
ignate and proclaim Wednesday

far as possible By suitable exercises

Familiar Role

Lew Fields returned in the guise of
producer and principal entertainer in
"a Lonely Romeo" which began n
weeks engagement at the Lyric last
evening, and despite the long waiting
for the rise of the curtain the show
went with a snap and kept the pace
throughout the evening.
There is good plot to the piece. 1t
was supplied by Harry B. Smith and
the star, while the music was written
and conducted by Robert Hood Bowers.
As for the lyrics, they mattered not, al
though Robert B. Smith did have some
which helped out the story. The original
basic idea has man who likes to go
out at night and have good time rep
resent himself to his wife as his own
son by another marriage. In the interim
lot of fun Centers about the CAV
Romeo, whose evenings are spent in a
cabaret and his business days in his
millinery store.
The most interesting part of the show
was the bevy of beautiful girls and their
ability to dance. a quartet of fine
voices scored hit with their excellent
vocalism. A special treat was found in
the dancing of Jessica Bown, who gave
the hands of the clock turn by her
ability to strike six with ease.
Mr. Fields was in fine form and sup
plemented his customary comic ability
with several handsprings. Harry Clarke,
Marion Weeks, Octavia Broske, Frank
Doane and Herbert Fields have i'm.
portant roles.
