With four performances of the
comedy by A A. Milne, "Ariadne, :"
April s. and matinee and evening
Of April 10, the Little Theatre So
ciety of Indiana will close the most
successful season in its history.
The play is gay, charming and
wholesome and the cast one of the
strongest of the year. George
Somnes, director, is putting forth
every effort to make this a fitting
finale for this top-hole season. The
fact that the Little Theatre now has
its own playhouse makes possible
more finished performances and the
members of the workshop staff have
striven to give the play one Of the
most artistic settings Of the year.
fAriadne" will be played by Mrs
Eugene Fife, who will be remem-
bered for number of excellent por-
trayals in past years and who is
admirably suited to the role OF the
lovely Ariadne; Miss Lulu Kanagy
will be the watchful sister-in-law,
Hester; Miss Marianne Reid, new to
Little Theatre audiences, will be
Janet Ingleby; Elsa Goett, a wistful
maid Waldo Schoen, who has ap-
peared to advantage in several Little
Theatre productions, will be the ag-
gressive Horace Meldrum; Ralph
Cooney will play the SNUG and pros
porous Hector Chadwick, and Volney
Hampton as John Winter complete
the cast. The plays are open to
the public.
It is of interest to note that this
is the first performance of this play
in Indianapolis. Originally it was
produced earlier in the season by
the Theatre Guild of New York.

GOGding Bill Defeated

North Dakota would gain nothing by the passage
OF the Gocding bill. The Senate in defeating the
measure mas refused to vote I. special subsidy to a
certain section of the nation. This bill was aimed
ut the middle west railroads and if it had become
a law would have prevented them from meeting in
some measure at least the Panama Canal competi-
ton.
In view of the fact that the whole nation is being
taxed to pay for the Panama Canal an avenue OF
commerce that benefits only certain sections com
mercally. the middle west carriers should be per
mitted through rate adjustments to protect their in
vestmcnt. The Gooding bill sought to blk the
Northwest its defeat should be acclaimed by tn,
farmers OF this section well as all business in
terests.
If the bill had passed. doubtless loss of revenue
10 the Northwest railroads would have to be made
up ny increased freight rates, for the Goodng bill
meant eventually serious loss in revenue for the
transcontnenta railroads that traverse this state

poses of national defense and seccndarly to benefit
commerce of the entire nation Certainly no one ex
