JACKSON READY
FOR DEMOCRATS
Sen. Elsner Says They're
Tired of Goodrich.

The democratic state ticket will have
practically no opposition in Jackson
county, Edward P. Elsner of Seymour
said here today.
Every one is tired of the Goodrich
administration" Mr.. Elsner continued.
Republicans as well as democrats are
opposed TO the Goodrich tax law and
they are determined to be rid of the
Capitalization of power In the hands of
the state board
''It is the most oppressive measure that
has ever been inflicted upon Indiana"
Mr.. Elsner stated that he has heard
a number Of republicans declare their
intention of voting for Cox because of
his stand on the league of nations.
Women were a bit hard to interest in
the campaign at first said Mr.. Elsner,
"but now that the federal suffrage
amendment has been ratified they are
waking up rapidly"
Mr.. Elsner says the poll has been taken
In Jackson county, and shows a sub
stantial majority of democratic women.
Mr.. Elsner represented Clarke, Jackson
and Scott counties in the Indiana senate
during the last session of the state legis-
lature.
He is favorably remembered by the
suffrage workers of Indianapolis because
he introduced a bill providing that WON
en- should be entitled to hold office and
sit on juries.

Miles Minter makes her latest appear
ance at the Alhambra.
Mary is the daughter of a boarding
housekeeper in a little college town.
Sweet Lavender" is the name OF the
play. and Lavender is the name of the
leading character.
She brightens up the students who live
at the house, and is the idol Of all the
men of the college.
AS Lavender, Miss Minter interprets
the character as the originator Of It, Sir
Arthur Wing Pinero. intended 1t to APP
pea.
Lavender is not the conventional board
ing house drudge, but a beloved and
lovable young woman.
Her romance is with the president OF
the freshman class, who is staying at
her house.
But their engagement does not meet
with the approval of the mother of the
girl, and the guardian of the man.
And thereby hangs a tale
To tell 1t would be to give away the
mysterious element of the play, which
adds greatly 10 its charm.
Mary is delightful as the heroine OF
the story, and Theodore Roberts sup
plies a great deal Of humor as an absent
minded professor.
The rest OF the cast is good.
Opinion--An appealing story. with an
enhancing star, Mary Miles Minter"
At the Alhambra today, Tuesday and
Wednesday.

M'CRAY STANDS
ON GOODRICHISM'
Spann Assails G.. o. P. Ring in
Lebanon Address.

LEBANON, Ind, Aug. 3O.-Henry y.
Spann, democratic candidate for con-
gress from the Seventh district. casti-
gated the Goodrich Watson-McCray com
bination in a speech here Saturday night
before big crowd.
He declared the Endorsement by the
state republican platform OF the Good
rich administration had made the re-
publican party full sponsor for all the
crimes and follies of the Goodrich ad-
ministration and must answer for them
at the polls in November"
The speaker said there was an at
tempt being made by republican leaders
to escape this responsibility by claim
ing that Warren 7. McCray is not re-
sponsible for their shortcomings" al
though the speaker said McCray &C
cepted the nomination upon the same
platform that Endorsed the Goodrich ad-
ministration, and is therefore ''lineal and
direct heir-at-law to all that Goodrich
said and did as governor"
The speaker pointed out that McCray,
since his nomination has ben in con
slant touch with the present admins
tration leaders who control the destintes
of the republican party and has helped
them in their attempt TO get the party
out of the dilemma in which Goodrich
ism has placed it.
when the legislature was muddling
in special session over the follies Of the
Goodrich tax law, Warren McCray was
assisting in finding some way to again
fool the people of Indiana, by pretend
ing to amend the great tax folly" Mr.
Spann said.
The speaker called attention to the
Charlottesville conference, which was at
tended by GOV. Goodrich, Senator New
Mr. McCray and others who 'grappled
with the assembly's tax law deadlock
and adopted a plan of action" to break
it.
Mr.. Spann pointed out that the plan
of action" turned out to be the Kiper-
TuthiII so-calIed curative tax law and
that Mr.. McCray. by his own, free will
became sponsor for ali the tax law, in
EQUITIES of the present republican legis-
lature.
The speaker paid attention to Good
rich's presidential aspiration ana its
subsequent faseo, and declared the gov
ernor went to work to build a personal
political machine with himself as the
autoerat Of its destiny
He charged the governor with Great
ing a public service commission which
became his political tool and so out
rageous has become the conduct Of the
board" the speaker said, that a serious
movement was put on foot TO have il
abolished by the legislature at its special
session.
Most OF its time has been spent in
raising passenger and freight rates on
railroads and interurbans and in grant
ing the right to issue bonds to corpora
lions upon fictitious valuations"
The speaker went into a discussion OF
the highway commission, which he char
acterized as another part Of the Good
rich political machine that has been
used shamefully in the interest Of Good
rich politics.
He said there was an outcry over the
state against the manner in which the
peoples money had been wasted by the
commission.
Attention was paid to the pardoning
power used by the governor in which
all sorts of criminals were let loose
upon the community.

A DIFFERENT STORY
AND GOOD ACTING.

Elaine Hsmmerstein is the star OF
The Point Of View" which we saw at
the Colonial yesterday.
She is her natural self in this pic
ture. and appears to good advantage op-
posite Rocklffe Fellows, who Is her
leading man.
As a debutante whose family has been
suddenly reduced TO poverty, Elaine fits
well into the cast.
The story is good, and a little above
the average of society dramas. although
1t owes its appeal mainly TO the per
Torrance OF Miss Hammerstein and Mr.
Fellows
It's entertainment value is good and
It's characters are true to life.
We liked The Point OF View" from
the standpoint OF the two chief players.
who deserve credit for putting over"
the play.
The story deals with the characters
and reactions Of so-called gentleman
who find themselves IN poverty after
having enjoyed wealth
Some Of them are found to be Of base
metal and others Of fine.
The heroine of the story is one of the
latter.
She manages to keep her family In
comfort and to enable her brother to
realize his ambitions, she proves herself
worthy Of sacrifice.
Opinion Most people will like THE
Point Of View" as It has the elements
of a good photoplay and good acting.

ANNIVERSARY BILL AT CIRCLE is A BIG SUCCESS
Dangerous at the Ohio s a

Charlie Ray has arrived in the. big
league.
All doubt as to that is removed after
seeing Ray in movie version of the
stage comedy, "Forty-Five Minutes From
Broadway" which is the feature of the
fourth anniversary bill at the Circle.
There is something about this whole
some-faced lad which invites love, re-
spect and admiration at the same time
and in this pleasant little comedy the
Ray personality has full swing.
In this movie Ray is a prize fighter
one Of those typical Bowery characters
who has a wicked right and nasty left
which puts one to sleep.
The name of the character is Kid Burns
and things begin TO move when a pal
of the Kid inherits a cold million and
makes Burns private secretary.
The Kid is not at home in his elegant
surroundings and Lis first experience with
a dress suit and bow tie is one Of the
funniest incidents the writer has ever
seen filmed.
The Kid has plenty of time to fall
in love with Mary, the maid Of the rich
household, and how naturally does Ray
pull this homespun lovin' stuff.
He makes you long for the moonlight
and the girl, and before you know it
you get very much concerned over the
fear that the Kid will not plant the win
ming kiss on Marys fair lips.
But the Kid does it in the regular
homespun fashion and he leaves one con-
WINGED that Charlie Ray is the most nat
ural and the least affected of all the
actors on the screen.
Dorothy Devore is so sweet and pretty
as the maid in Forty Five Minutes From
Broadway"
Dorothy and Charlie make a great lovin'
pair and If you need a love spark, just
drop into the Circle this week and l as
sure you the Ray love dynamo will trans
NIT some of the love sparks.
Opinion: "Forty-Five Minutes From
Broadway" is clean entertainment of the
sort which makes the screen worth
while
Another interesting feature of the an
niversary bin Is "Muses Of Shadowland."
an elaborate posing act, which is the
first pageant attempted at the Circle
since Ralph Lieber has been manager.
The pictures. in which living models
appear. are called THE Spirit of the
Circle" Comedy" "Tra gedy,' Music
and The Dance"
The color scheme is beautifully and
effectively handled and again shows what
advancement is being made year after
year IN movie entertainment at the Cir
Gle
Mr. Lieber is to be congratulated on
the fourth anniversary bill at the Circle
because it is splendid entertainment.
The big bill remains on view all week
at the Circle.-W. d. n.

POWERFUL MOVIE is
DANGEROUS DAYS"

In "Danerous Days, adapted from the
story of the same name by Mary Roberts
Rinehart, one will find so much realism
and so much convincing acting that you
are soon asking yourself whether this is
just acting or the real thing.
The big punch Of the story is when
the Spencer munition plant is wrecked
by a German bomb and these scenes are
so realistic that the writer actually
was uncomfortable as the flames began
to eat up the plant
We are ready to concede that the
height Of movie realism has been
reached in this Goldwyn production in
which most Of the married women love
other men than their husbands and the
husbands are finding love In other
homes.
The background Of this picture is war
but the big battle is between mans lust
for gold and devotion to his country
during war times.
It's patriotism against profteering
and in this movie, patriotism wins in a
finale which caused about 95 per cent
of the audience to exhibit handkerchiefs
az the Z 80 O'Clock show last night
Lawson Butt, as Clayton Spencer. the
munition manufacturer, who turns his
plduL over 10 tue United NLdNcS govern
ment. does some Of the most powerful
and clean cut dramatic work seen or
the screen in many months.
You will detest Clarissa Selwynne, as
Natalie Spencer the wife OF Clayton. be
cause Natalie is such a weak character
but splendidly acted by Miss Selwynne.
Effective work is done by Barbara
. Castleton. Ann Forrest and Rowland Lee
as three OF the central characters OF
this drama.
The production Is massive and splen
did taste is exhibited in the ballroom
scene, but the big FIRE scene has never
been equaled for realism
opinion-"Dangerous Days is a movie
which will make you sit on the edge OF
your seat, because 1t is so powerfully
presented. although you are bound tc
realize. in coming to your senses, that
it couldn't have happened in life.
At the Ohio all week.
