AFTER FOREIGN ENTRIES FOR
 1923 CLASSIC

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 15.-For the purpose of receiving foreign entries in the 1923 International 500-mile automobile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, 1923, T. E. Myers, general man. ager of the speedway, has sailed Europe according to an announce ment of Carl G. Fisher, president of the speedway company.
 Indications point to the largest foreign entered field in the history of the race, according to MT. Fisher. Foreign manufacturers, he pointed out have been experimenting with cars of the smaller dimensions for more than two years and, with the re- duction of the size of motors eli gible for competition here next year from 1S3 cubic inches piston dis placement to 122 cubic inhes, Euro pean automobile, engineers are sad to be making plans to retrieve the
 
 lost honors of the automobile classic.
 Foreign cars took the honors at the speedway from 1914 to 1913, in- elusive, but in 1920, when the size of the entrants were limited to mo- tors of 1S3 cubic inches piston dis placement, the Americans were vic torious repeated in 1921 and again last May. 4
 MT. Myers will spend six weeks or more with W. F. Bradley Of Parls' the speedway's foreign representa- tive. Together they will confer with the majority of the larger automo- bile manufacturers of Europe MT Fisher said. ,"

Probably the most accomplished and most beloved American author who ever lived was Mark Twain. Each of his stories Is masterpiece, and each masterpiece has been read once, if not several times, by every reading American citizen of today.
 Numbered among this famous au- thors jewels of production is a "A Connecticut Yankee in King Ar thurs Court" It is superb piece of character portrayal, for, perhaps no one knew the real Connecticut "Yank" as did Mark Twain.
 Out of Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" William Fox has made one of the merriest photo plays that has eyer been offered to the American public and is known throughout the nation as the greatest comedy ever adapted to the screen.
 Being an adaptation of Mark Twains famous novel the picture effuses all the brilliancy of wit and humor for which the great author was noted. picture that will hold ones interest from start to finish, picture with real kick to it.
 Don't fail to see the Connecticut Yankee" showing at the Empress Theater tonight and tomorrow night.
