enough to fill the requirements of the
scheme of decoration which has been
worked out for the Identification of the
Manufacturers building at the state fair
grounds during the twentieth automobile
show of the Indianapolis Automobile
Trade association, March 8 to 10. Com
pletion of the scheme was announced to-
day by Show Manager John Orman.
We're going TO have the most beauti-
full show in America, without a doubt"
predicted Mr.. Orman. 1--WE cant fail to
because we have one Of the best men In
the country in charge Of this part Of the
show"
The man in charge of decorations is
Charles Read it was announced. He has
secured Frank J. Zimmerer to assist

made available to the automobile asso-

theater management Being art director
of the Circle Mr. Zimmerer is recognized
as one of the foremost masters Of theater
decoration and scenic art in the country,
and the association has gone step far
Their than the management of any auto
mobile show in the country in landing
him.
Just as the association went a step
ahead In getting Mr.. Zimmerer, the
artist himself has gone In advance OF
others in the decorative scheme. The
usual columns, festoons and hangings
will be in evidence, but in most unusual
colors The step ahead consists of
dozens of large panels, bearing scenes,
which will be hung over the ground
glass windows, forming at least two
thirds of the walls Of the vast building.
SO much cloth will be required to con-
struct these, it was discovered, that
there is not enough available in all the
department stores and wholesale houses
of indianapolis to fill the order. The
merchants are rushing orders for more.
It will take the scene painters all the
time from now until a short time before
the opening day to get the panels ready,
Never before has there been such
tremendous call for exhibition space so
long before the opening date, Mana ger
Orman said. When he is not answering
telephone calls for space he Is listening
to the pleas of dealers who call in per
son, or opening letters and kilograms
which come by the dozens.
There's no doubt that this Will be
the most beautiful show in America, and
for my part I believe it's going to be
one of the biggest from the standpoint
of business" declared r. V. Law, presi-
dent of the Indianapolis Automobile
Trade association.

cording to scenarios written by Ameri-
cans, who presumably are acquainted
with American life.
An English newspaper writer recently
summed up his impressions of America,
gained totally from the screen. Here
in tabloid form are some of his dis
coveries:
All rich Americans live in palaces or
gorgeous hotels.
There are few servants, and those We
have are Japs or Chinks.
As a rule nobody dimes at home, but
at restaurants.
And when they go TO the restaurants
they do not go really to dine, but to
dance to the music of a Jazz band.
All Americans do it-even father
There seems to be no family life IL
America
When the family is not at a restau
rant, father chews cigar and telephones
to business associates and daughter
phones to some young man.
America may be a great democratic
country, but the rich people are very
