CIRCLE MAKES
IMPROVEMENTS
In THEATER
Entire Main Floor Has New
Seats and Decora-
tons.

So much has been said in recent
years Of the strides and progress
made by the motion pictures and
the building OF larger and more
palatial moving picture theaters
that it is hardly necessary to call
attention to the vast differences be-
tween the motion picture theater
Of today and that of five years ago.
However, it is interesting to note
how the larger theaters as the Circle
are constantly making improvements
and additions to keep abreast Of this
progress.
AS an example without cessation
of business for a single day, the
Circle has just completed an extern
sive program of Improvement includ-
ing redecoration of foyer and lounge
room, reseating the entire main
floor and replacement of stage and
auditorium lighting equipment with
the most modern devices. Starting
early in the fall with the installa-
ton of imported crystal chandeliers,
work has steadily progressed after
the closing hours at night and before
opening at noon.
These chandeliers were made
specially for the Circle abroad and
are very beautiful. The entire re-

ROUNDING ROUND
THE TED 9 With WALTER
- - - ~ d. HICKMAN

I'm HE question of whether jazz music is art not does not
worry Paul Whiteman who recently conducted his or
chestra in at the Murat
Whiteman claims that jazz music is good music And that
probably explains the appeal that jazz music has many
people.
Some few people the point regarding the art side of
jazz music but admitted fact that syncopated
increased the general appreciation of music
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-11-28

Music has never had a chance
to reach the multitudes in America
until now. Yet there is no earthly
reason why our workmen and our
children and our housekeepers
should not be whistling and singing
the classics, just as does everybody
in Italy, for example.
1.-THE difficulty is that there we
think of music as something terribly
highbrow. Nobody Is supposed to
know anything about 1t except few
critics and musicians. We need to
take our melody a little easier.
"Highbrowism has been slipped
over on US and we don't quite know
how to get out from under It's yoke.
But our college boys and girls, with
their jazz bands and attempts at jazz
composition. are beginning to set us
free, and in a few years we shall be
a truly musical Nation"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-11-28

Whiteman has this to say regard
ing jazz and art:
IA great part of the controversy
depends upon definitions and 1. for
one, would rather be working to do
something than working to define it.
/ believe art is the capturing in
some form Of bit of universal
beauty. But 1 don't care what you
call it, just so you don't make it
out to be snobbish.
ITO me, the test of art is it's ap-
peal to the great masses of human
ity. The artist, to be real, must say
something that is Ineligible to all
the people The artists in all lines
recognized as greatest have met this
test.
''Of course, do not mean to say
that everything that is popular is
art. Fads are not art, and usually
they are not beautiful or appealing
except to those who love novelty.

TWOFOUND GUILTY
IN P|CKFORD PLOT
Accused Kidnapers Face Ten
Years to Life-Third Man
Is Acquitted.
Br the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 14.-Ten
years TO life imprisonment for plot
ting to kidnap Mary Pickford faced
Claude Holcomb and~ Charles Il.
Stephens today as a result of their
conviction in Superior Court.
A third defendant, Adrian Wood,
was acquitted last night, but did not
escape n warning from several
jurors who, as they left the court
room after returning the verdict.
told him he did not realize how close
he came" and to be more careful
about his associates in future
Neither Miss Pickford nor her hus-
band, Douglass Fairbanks, was
present when the defendants heard
their fate. Both had testified during
the trial that they knew nothing of
the kidnapping plot save what oetec-
tives told them.
Sentence was TO be pronounced on
Holcomb and Stephens today, but
defense counsel indicated that
another trial would be asked.
The three defendants were arrested
May 80, last, after six weeks of police
investigation. Detectives declared
they had listened in on conferences
at which the trio talked of kidnapping
Jackie Coogan, Baby Peggy, the
Negri and finally Mary Pickford.
Purported confessions obtained from
the three prisoners corroborated these
charges.
Sought 100000 Ransom.
1t was planned. the confessions re-
vealed, to seize Miss Pickford during
Shriner week last June, when the
spectacle of trio of befeZZed
merrymakers making off with an
actress in a bunting bedecked auto
mobile was expected to attract only
passing comment. Then the plans
called for Incarceration of the actress
I'm some conveniently obscure dwell
ing until her actor husband "came
across" with 100000 ransom.
Before the dwelling had been Sc
lected, however, the plotters were
under arrest and film fans We're look
ing forward to the approaching ap-
pearance of Mary Pickford on a wit
ness stand.
This appearance of Miss Pickford
was the high point of the trial and
choked four doors of the Hall of
Records with a struggling mob. Only
relatives of the accused men were
on hand last night to learn what
might be their fate.

Agreement on
Signs Marking
Chief Interstate
Roads of Country

Tentative agreement on the form
and color of warning and directional
signs to mark the principal inter-
state roads of the country was
reached by the joint board on inter-
state highways in session at WASH
ington, Monday and Tuesday, April
oO-21. Highways to be marked as
interstate roads, for which the name
United States Highways has been
proposed, will be selected after a
series of regional meetings of mem
bers of the board with highway of1-
Gals of groups of states.
AS the membership Of the board
is made up Of State and Federal Of
ficials in charge of highways and Is
representative of the departments IN
control of the State roads of all
states, it is anticipated that the re-
Communications of the board will be
translated into definite action within
a few months.
The routes selected as United
States highways will be numbered
and marked uniformly in all states
with standard marker. All state
highway departments will be asked
to submit proposals for the design
of the marker. The design tentative
ly proposed by the board consists
of United States shield with a
white background, bearing in black
the route in large numerals. and the
name of the state in which the
marker Is erected.
Vxy1,i
tween the warning and danger signs
in use by the various states will also
be eliminated when the recommen-
dations of the board are adopted, at
least so far as the interstate roads
are concerned. Tentative proposals
adopted at the first meeting of the
board call for the adoption of a
standard round sign for marking all
railroad crossings; an octagonal sign
to indicate danger or stop: dia-
mond shaped sign for cauti1l 81
slow; square sign to indicate look"
or attention; and rectangular
shape for directional or information
al signs.
Colors tentatively adopted for non
luminous signs are yellow for warn
ing and danger signs and white for
dlrectional and international signs,
including the route markers. Lette.
ing on both classes of signs will be
in black. For luminous and reflect
ing sI;ns the colors tentatively sell
ected are red for danger. yellow for
caution and green to indicate go"
Standardization of the sizes of all
signs and the lettering on them will
be referred to a Subcommittee of
. the board.
All recommendations Of the boare
with regard to the shape, size and
color of signs will be submitted to
the highway. departments of all
states for consideration before final
adoption by the board.
The regional meetings for the sell
ection of the United States high
ways will he held within the next
two months. probably in San Fran
cisco, Kansas City. Chicago. Atlanta.
New York and Boston. Action taken
at these meetings will be reviewed
and correlated at the next meeting
OF the board to be held carly in
August.
