Coliseum Site
To the Editor of The Times
Why don't they cast an eye to-
ward the west when selecting site
for coliseum? Picture In your
mind one located west of Military
park on Blake St. within walking
distance of the center of the city,
the Union Station, Interurban Trac-
ton Station, Bus Terminal and all
the hotels and theaters. 1t would
have railroad switching to the very
door and plenty of parking space. 1t
is the proper situation for an armory
with Military park for drill ground.
and with street car service on a loop
AROUND the park. 1t is a noiseless
neighborhood where music and
speaking could be appreciated and
heard, where property is cheap, but
would be; considerably advanced by
the erection of such building. 1t
is that part of Indianapolis where at
one time home of the finest homes in
the city IRE located.

WAR ON
BILLBOARDS

of the signs until an investiga-
ton could be made.

Of beautiful boulevards and
parks" declared Charles A. Book
walter, park board president, this
company was Haunting their signs

The case Of public VS. billboards
could not be put more succinctly
and neatly.
Even the most enthusiastic de-
fender of billboards does not claim
they are works of art or enhance
the beauties of the landscape.
They are glazing eyeeores. They
erupt all over the landscape and
turn the beauties of nature into a
commercialized nightmare.
Billboard interests estimate the
value OF scenery in square feet of
billboard space. And they have
made It profitable for they boast
that theirs is the fifth. largest In
dustry in the country.
But II landscape is only of value
as. billboard sites why not lease
for that purpose the Statehouse
grounds or the War Memorial
Plaza?
To the public there is greater
value in beautiful boulevards and
drives than In billboards. There

the elements that are essential to the

National-"The Poor Nut.

Beginning tonight at the National
Theater, Patterson McNutt, a former r
newspaper man of New York. now
turned a theatrical magnate, will pre-
sent a new comedy called The Poor
Nut" written by J. c. and Elliott Nu-
gent, authors OF "Kempy"
THE Poor Nut" is scheduled for an
almost immediate production in New
York after it plays in Washington.
Its principal characters are young
people. the hero, otherwise known as
"a poor nut" being a student at a
Midwestern college, who seems to
have gotten the erroneous impression
that he is there in pursuit Of knowl-
edge instead of trying to be a cham
pfon athlete. His fraternity brethern
resent this attitude and take the idea
out of his head. with the result that
he, wins in several of the sporting
events and also the heart of the pret-
test girl in that vicinity.
The Poor Nut" will be presented
by cast that would seem to be an
excellent one, at least on paper. FL
lott Nugent, the son of ]. c., will ap-
pear in the title role, and Miss Flor
ence Shirley an actress well liked
in this city, will be the heroine.
Others are Percy Helton, Norma lee
Grant Mills, Jean Man, Wright Kra-
mer, Margaret Fitch, John Webster
and Thomas Shearer.

Belasco-"The Gorilla.

Once upon a time the movies de-
pended upon the theater to furnish plots
and plays. Then came better and big
ger pictures"
Part of the success of the screen
is due to Ralph Spence, playwright
who, in the movies infancy, was one
of the first men to conceive that the
silent drama could be built to the
place il holds in American entertain
ment today by the production OF
real stories real plots, real thrills.
And now Spence has returned to
the theater proper. His story, THE
Gorilla new play opening at the
Belasco Thester tomorrow evening
for a weeks run, following which
it will appear on Broadway, has in
corporated all the thrill-making Sc
crets Spence learned in the canned
drama" Taking a new theme and
weaving about it comedy designed
to but one end-laughs-Spence is
believed to have attained new mark
in dramatic offerings.
The play is being produced by Don
aid Gallaher, producer of "Is Eat So, y
Broadway's present comedy success
Frederick Truesdell and Betty Wes-
ton have the leads, and the cast in
cludes also Stephen Maley, Robert
Strange, Clifford Dempsey, Frank
Mccormack, Frank Beaston, Harry
D. Southard, Harry Ward, Joseph
Guthrie and George Spelvin.
