Commander Faulkner was invited
TO attend Monday nights meeting, but
did not come. He was represented by
Philip Stapp. editor of the Hoosier

been advised by the legislative com

statement brought a general laugh.
Considerable friction developed at
times between Duncan, who presided,
and the commanders. Duncan pre-

favor of the bill and has been, re
garded as a supporter of the State
legion authorities in their fight against
the Marion County posts.
Determination to stand by their
guns in the fight was expressed by
the commanders. The action of Faux

of post di-agreeing with him was con
demned as 'despodc," ''un-American"
unconstitutional and "unwarrant-

hope that the troubles could be ironed

Fine Cast Supports Miss Dean

UniversaIs habit of assembling re-
markable casts to support Priscilla
Dean is emphasized in 1.-THE Flame of

Jewel production which comes to the
Nixon Theatre on next Friday and
Saturday. Wallace Berry, famous for
his admirable characterizations in
many successful productions, was Sc
lected for the interesting role of the
heroine's father. 1t is the third big
part that the noted character player
has interpreted in support of this star.
The first was as the sheik in "The
Virgin of Stamboul;" then came a
shorter but equally important role in
her support in wild Honey" and
now the powerful portrayal of the
father in the Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett story which is serving Miss Dean
as her current vehicle.
