Karyl Norman, Singers Midgets and Joe
Roberts With His Wicked Banjo Are Hits

This is followed by introducing
two wee ladies as the Duncan Sis
ters' in jazz tunes. Followed by a
cabaret scene in which the male
midgets make up a corking good
jazz orchestra. Cabaret acts are
introduced with the Midgets imper-
sohating the Dolly Sisters, Frisco,
George Whites Scandals and 9TH
el-s.
Three trained baby elephants take
part in the next scene. This act has
always been a wonder to me as a
midget is the trainer. You will find
some rare comedy in, this scene. The
elephants are perfectly trained.
The next scene is really the open
ing to smart finale, a wedding
scene which is beautifully costumed
and staged. This is, of course, the
big scene Of the revue. Again, l

Germs and Diplomas

TIT is characteristic that the scientific
partner in the alleged germ murder in
Chicago was also the proprietor of ''di-
ploma mill"
These purveyors of fake credentials are all
potential indirect murderers on wholesale
scale.
Ii one of them has also become a party to
direct individual murder, it is sensational and
dramatic, but it is small matter in comparison
to. the indirect murder in which they are en-
gagged all the time.
However, it is important, too, as showing
that germ murder" is not merely the dream
of imaginative melodramatists, but may actual
ly be done. Let your imagination dwell on the
possible consequences, and you grow dizzy.

TD7USINESS and politics can not be success

politics enters, sane business administration
leaves. This has been demonstrated repeated
ly in the city government of Indianapolis
The form of our city government is such
and our election system is SO arranged, that
politics must always play large part There

the city as the affairs Of business organiza-

During most of his life he has been fairly
successful politician But under our present
system of government he has had no oppor-
.tunity TO take his business knowledge and
judgment with him into the city hail.
No one will deny that Mayor Shank is
good salesman. Most Of those who know him
will class him among the very best. One of the
principal jobs of the mayor should be to sell
indianapolis. But Mayor Shank has not been
selling Indianapolis nor has he been applying
his business knowledge to any great extent
to the administration Of the citys affairs. He
has had no time for these things. He has been
too busy playing politics as politics must be

ANY of us have thought that
lM historical romance was con-
El fined to England and France.
But romance we have by the ton
in the history Of America. This is
proven by Rafael Sabatini in "The
Carolinian." the authors first his
tor1cal romance of America.
This is the same Sabatini who
made himself famous and wealthy
by writing "Scaramouche," "Oap-
tain Blood, THE Sea- Hawk" and
many others.
Like many others, have waited
for the time when the greatest of
romantic story tellers would write
an American historical romance. In
The Carolinian," Just published by
Houghton Mifflin Company, we have
an American hero by the name of
Harry Laoinier, a young planter in
Carolina, who helped in kicking off
the British yoke and control in
America.
Latimer was in love with the
daughter Of a proud Englishman
who believed that the King was al
ways right. This father naturally
objected to having his daughter
marry man who was not right
with "A cruel and unwise English
king.
But love has strange way and
Sabatini knows It better than any
one else. The fact is. you are not
so interested in the way that Myrtle
marries Harry Latimer, but how
this.woman nearly wrecked his life
and her own happiness.

My Sweetie.

Her fair golden tresses are bobbed

she is always discreet. She's the

political game now. Such game is neces-
sary under our present system to obtain cleo
tion He would continue to play a political
game should he move into the city hall, for he
would be taking his job under political aus
pices and would be under the necessity of hav-
ing politicians around him and of looking to
the future success of his particular faction.
TT1OHN DUVALL Is another Republican
candidate whose business experience fits
him to hold the office of mayor. He is a
banker and as such he must have wide knowl-
edge of business and must be man of good
judgment. But he is also the candidate Of the
Coffin faction Of the Republican party and as
such is ID politics up to his neck. Should he
be elected mayor under our present political
system he could not be expected to confine him
self to the business Of the city. 1t would be
necessary for him to take care of the interests
of his particular party and faction and this
would require four years of constant political
activity.
The other active candidate is Judge Del
bert o. Wilmeth of city court. Judge Will
meth S business experience has been somewhat
limited, but his more than three years on the
bench certainly must have developed his judg-
ment and his power of decision. But under our
present system he would not be able to exer-
else these qualities as mayor. He would be too
busy playing the game and looking after the
interests of his party.
n I NDER the city manager form of govern
u ment the city manager would be en-
ployed only for his business ability and re-
CARELESS of politics. 1t would not be necessary
for him to play political game because he
would not be elected and he would be employed
as long as he gave service.
Any one of the present candidates for
mayor might qualify for city manager, but un-
der the present system the possibility of any
one of them being real manager of the af-
fairs Of the city has been removed.

SINGERS MIDGETS STILL
LEAD IT'S OWN FIELD

After a careful study of the midget
situation on the American stage, I
still feel that Singers Midgets still
lead the field.
Singer is producing his act on a
lavish scale even when it is COM
pared with other vaudeville revuec.
The attribute which distinguishes
these midgets from all the others is
the individual talent OF the mem
bers.
This seasons act OF Singers
Midgets Is to be found at the Pal
ace this week. The first scene is
western in nature, with the little
men rading ponies and one midget
doing some daring acrobatics. This
scene gives way to the strong man
act. in which midget lifts pony
and does other strong arm stunts.
This little man IS a rsal Snowman.
Then the act goes into comedy

may be the curfew law or a move

failure OF duly constituted authori-

CITIZENSHIP

RS. CHARLES RITTER IS
tMI a candidate for mayor OF
Ell Hartford City. She is said
10 be the Arst woman in Indiana
to make an active campaign for
the office OF mayor.
When asked the other day II she
believed women as well qualified to
hold office as men. she replied:
why not? Women have been
studying citizenship ever since
they have worked for the vote.
Have you ever heard OF the men
organizing citizenship classes?"
That last question skillfully
sprinkles ground glass in the Cruel

climax every time he turns around
although he may have interes. .ae
experiments.
That is one attribute that Sabatini
has which distinguishes him from
all other romantic writer's. He per.
mits the characters to grow page by
page In a natural way.
Crling Romance
1t Is true that he selects char
acters who played important
historical parts, but they are human
just the same. He knows how to
lead up to what call a chapter
climax. Each chapter actually ad-
vances the story.
The background Is the Revolun-
tionary war, especially its southern
aspect. You realize that Sabatini
knows his history. You get the i'm
preston that the close of the Revo-
lutiorary actually predicted the
Civil War which liberated the negro.
J-atimer is a corking character.
He gets into trouble because he is
loyal to the conviction that the
English crown was unfair to Amer
ica- He first considered himself an
English subject and insisted on be-
Ing treated as one who was an Eng
lishman many miles away from the
seat of government.
The revolution grows before your
very eyes Men who ut first Just
protested against English injustice
became leaders in the revolution that
kicked the British forces out of
America for good
Probably the revolutionary period
is the most romantic in the history
of the country because It starts
with English romance and then be-
comes truly American.
The beeuty about Sabatini's books
is that you get something worth
while out Of them in addition to
splendid entertainment. 1t is my
humble opinion that THE CAROLYN
ian" will be a most popular book in
this country.
II ranks in color, action. plot and
beauty along with anything that
