clean II it wants to live. To me a
dirty story is far worse than an
over exposure Of the cuticle. Bur
lesque is not realism. O'Neil is a
master of realism. The biggest dra-
matte from a box Office
standpoint in New York today is a
show in which there r more oaths
than have ever been uttered in ten
shows combined. Two other sue
cesses, under the white banner of
Belasco, are concerned with street
walkers and women of easy virtue.
The police Of New York have not
closed these three shows. The pub
lie is hocking to them. Some weeks
ago I say Artists and Models" in
Cincinnati. The girls had so many
clothes on that I thought they were
wearing mother hubbards or some
thing like that. But some double
meaning jokes and situations stayed
in. The civil authorities do not and
cannot agree on what is art and
what Is dirt. I want clean shows.
I do not want censorship. The way
to knock filth out of a show is to
take it into court. Then the whole
problem can be aired and a legal
decision arrived at by a jurist.

GU|OMAR NOVAES
TO GIVE RECITAL
AT3P.M.S SUNDAY
Students Of School Of
Music to Give Pro-
gram.

At the Academy of Music at 8
o'clock Sunday, Guimar Novaes,
pianist, will appear in recital under
the auspices Of the Indianapolis
Maennerchor.
Since the days of Teresa Carreno
few pianists, let alone a young girl
in her early twenties, have attained
the pinnacle OF success in so short
a time as has Guiomar Novaes. To-
day the name Of the brilliant Bra
lillian is a household word. Soul
stirring in her phenomenal power,
she shines radiant with the pure
lustre Of genius.
The beauty of tone which she
I draws from her instrument, whether
it be a ~thunderous fortissimo or the
most feathery pianissimo, is far be
yond mere technical facility. while
by the romantic vision and emo
tional power which r. hers, she
establishes a strong communicative
sympathy with her enormous audi
ences.
The American public accepted this
young artist with abiding Joy in the
utter simplicity and sincerity OF her
great art, when first she made her
self known here in 1915. Events
have since proved the unerring COR
rectness OF this judgment. Now she
ranks with the greatest pianists OF
our day, distinguished by Henry T.
Ffnck of the New York Evening
Post and the late James Huneker, in
their search for superlatives. as
"super-pianist" and "Paderewska Of
the Pampas."

WOULD ESTABLISH
COURT OF JUSTICE
AT HAGUE meet

Washington, Nov. 29-(AP) Estab-
lishment of a permanent court of in
ternational justice through the
agency of third Hague conference
to be called by President Coolidge
was suggested today by Representa-
tive Tinkham. Republican, Massa-
chusetts, who announced that he
would embody the proposal in reso-
luton to be Introduced in the
house.
A proposal for American adher-
ence to the world court will be con-
sidered next month by the senate and
a resolution favoring such action was
adopted by the house at it's last ses-,
sion.
Mr.. Tinkham. who visited Europe
last summer, declared that his study
OF the league Of nations and the per-
manent court of international justice
had convinced him that American
adherence to the latter, as proposed
by President Coolidge, would mean
the surrender not only of our ma
tional traditions but of our priceless
inheritance of freedom and indie
pendence."
1.-THE clear anr patriotic course for
the United States to follow in accord
with her traditions of the admins
tration of international justice and
the avoidance of foreign political en-
Engagements" he said, sis to adhere
only to court of international JUS
tice which represents the sovereign
nations directly and not to a court
which represents a political and mill
tary intermediary-the league of ma
TONS"
His resolution, he added. will pro-
pose court of 16 members. includ-
ing IL judges and four deputy judges,
to be elected for life by an electrical

this morning brought the total of
the street robberies for the night to
nine. Shots were fired in two cases,
clubs and fists were freely used and
only two victims escaped loss of val
uables.

police that three men drew UP to the
curb of Back Bay street, one COW

struck him over the head and stole

only man seriously injured by the
thugs. He was taken to the City
hospital with a fractured jaw. His
assailants escaped with 500. Man
ayers of two chain stores were vic
timized.
Last night was the fourth within
three weeks when the whole metro
politan area has been thrown into a
turmoil by bandits who sped form
one holdup to another. Stolen cars
have been used for the most part,
being abandoned when another au-
tomobile is taken every few hours.
The police believe organized bands
are at work because Of the similar
ity of methods. Five men arrested
a few days ago are still being held
for completely in some of the earlier
holdups, with which victims were
said to have identified them. Last
night was the first time when vio-
