GOOD DANCE
ACT AT THE PALACE

Some original ideas in stage set
tingss and Grapes give Dance
Flashes" at the Palace today and
tomorrow, an atmosphere n bit diff
ferent from other acts of it's kind.
With three women and three men
program OF dances Is given con-
tanning about all the steps that are
popular on the stage today.
First is an ensemble number by
all and then an acrobatic sort Of Of
fering by one OF the man and
woman teams. Then follow the diff
ferent specialties and feature num-
bers. OF the numbers offered l
think one by a girl, a song and dance
about Rose Colored Glasses" and a
speciality by a man at the close were
the. best.
Cleveland and Downey have some
rather good comedy in their dialogue
between a tippler and a woman, who
would like to reform him. There is
nothing boisterous to the act and the
comedy is handled in a quiet way
that makes It go over fine.

which he does not already suffer.
What would you do if you were in Stephensons
place and had such documents?
1t is possible that he no longer has them Three
citizens have stated that they know that he did
have such documents at the conclusion of his trial
They have stated that he considered them so i'm
portant that he had them photographed as a proec-
ton against the possible theft of the originals
That is the evidence. That is the situation The
whole matter is too important to be dropped until
the last trail has been followed to its end
And in the meantime the people are entitled to
some explanation of those five days of silence

not a whole lot to offer besides the
comedy part OF the old man. Con-
Germs a couple Of lovers, who meet
at o'clock in a park and an old
man, who happens along the same
place. All three members Of the
act make good appearance,
especially the girl. but the big
feature is the old man part. He has
a variety of ways to make you laugh.
Athlone is a woman. blues singer.
Her voice is not bad for the type Of
melody she offers, but the act is fat.
The woman has abundant personality
If she would learn how to use it.
What she needs is some real life in
the act, not a prop smile and a
restless eye.
The Five Mounters open the bill
with an acrobatic act in which the
principal feature is walking up and
down some tables, that have been
piled high, on their hands.
Bill includes a photoplay Meet
the Prince" with Joseph Schildkraut
and News Reel.

And Crime Stalks On

While gray-haired judges are
asked to dispose of questions that
any sensible mother could settle in
five minutes, and that should be
left to mothers, crime stalks not
only the byways, but the broad
crowded thoroughfares of this coun-
try.
Chicago has been afflicted with a
gang war that should have shocked
us, but didn't, because we were so
busy discussing bobbed hair, why
Browning married Peaches, whether
Richards should have turned pro

Importance.
And now comes this terrible thing
in Elizabeth, n. j., with two car
loads of banditti shooting up mail

one man, wounding two others and
getting away WITH 100000 in stolen
cash, while scores Of people were too

I STILL UNEXPLAINED

The people of the State, may, it seems quite
properly ask for explanation of the official silence
which for five days followed the charges made by
Thomas Adams, the Vincennes editor.
Sometimes clrcumstantia evidence is better than
the spoken word
Often the actions of men are more important than
their words. As
The grand jury in this county has the task of dis
covering evidence and attempting to find out, not
whether D. c. Stephenson once the political power
in this State, maker of Governors and Senator's has
any documentary evidence of graft and corruption
but also whether there such graft, corruption
and bribery.
The people will not forget that when this most
amazing charge was made The Times demanded
permission to talk to Stephenson in his cell So
did every other newspaper in this part of the nation
So did six State Senator'S at least by representatives
They will not forget that the Governor of this
State refused to order Warden Daily to grant these
p interviews 4
They will not forget that &here was hastily
summoned meeting of the board of trustees so i'm
portant that it was held at the bedside of one of
its members, and that these trustees officially
nounced that Warden Daily was correct in his atti-
tude of refusal GF
They remember that the first promise , Of an
investigation came from Governor Jackson at La
Grange when Theodore Roosevelt demanded that
IlS party lOI WHICH lie spoke make some statement.
AThey know that Senator Watson made his
first denunciation Of graft and corruption several
hours later, and that earlier in that same day he
had given out interview at Kokomo that the whole
thing trivial affair and a family matter An
which he not interested
They know that the first man who saw Stephen
. was Maroney a Federal agent, and that
Senator Watson, without any suggestion that he
might have been at all concerned in this visit found
it expedient to publish in his official organ denial
/ that he had sent Maroney.
Then there was eagerness to have Stephenson
talk to grand jury and attention., was directed to
the thought that if Stephenson did not produce these
letters, and checks and documents It was conclusive
proof that there had been corruption and crime
and graft by those he had put into Office.
That argument, Of course, will not be accepted
when people realize the situation and the circum-
stances If Stephenson has such documents, they
are his only asset and only weapon.
He is under life sentence He is in position to

Ace Berry at the Circle Books Ibanez's
/ Mare NOstrum, All Next Week Here

Vicente Blasco Ibanez, the noted
Spanish novelist has retraced him
self as a boy with all his youthful
love for the sea in Mare
Nostrum" (Our Seal, which Rex In
gram produced in Europe, and
which will be shown the coming
week at the Circle Theater.
Vicente Blasco was born in
Valencia, a small and quaint Medi-
terranean fishing village in southern
Spain. His fathers name was
Blasco and as is the custom in
Spain he added on his mothers
name Ibanez. His father was a
middle class notary.
The boys ambition was to be a
sailor, but his family bitterly OPP
posed it. On his sixteenth birthday
he ran away from home and after
several weeks travel reached Madrid.
There he worked as a secretary to
the Spanish writer Manuel Fern
andeZ Gonzales. The police found
him and sent him back home.
In Valencia Ibanez attended all
the Republican meetings and was an
enthusiastic worker for the cause.
While still in his early twenties he
founded a paper, eel Pueblo" (The
People,. AS a result of his bitter at
tacks on the royalists and In
dividuals OF the party he fought a
number OF duels, was imprisoned
several times and finally sentenced
to penal servitude. He escaped on
board a ship and spent three months
in Italy.
From here he went to Paris, where
he lived for more than a year earn
ing by his writing barely enough
to keep him from starving.
He returned to Valencia and led
an agitated political life. 1t was
about this time that he first gained
recognition as a writer. His best
works of that period are Flor de
Mayo" Mayfower) and La Bar
raca." (the name Of the typical
ValenIa cottage).
After many trips through Europe
and Asia, Ibanez left for South
umphant journey through Chile and
Argentina, finally settling near the
Negro River, where he had two large
ranches.
In 1914 he returned to Europe, and
in Paris wrote 1.-The Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse. his first great
war romance, which was followed by
Mare Nostrum" and Enemies of
Women"
In 1919 he made a trip TO the
United States and upon his return
settled in the south Of France, whore /
he still resides. Ibanez has one Of .
the most beautiful villas along the
French Reviera. II is called Fon- |
tana Rosa and is located in the foot
hills overlooking the Mediterranean
Monte Carlo and the Italian border.
Mare Nostrum% is Ibanez' favor
lite Of all the stories he has written.
That was one of the reasons he re-
fused to dispose of the motion pic
ture rights until Rex Ingram could
produce it in pictures. Ibanez and
Ingram are the author-director COM
bination responsible for THE -Four
HoEsemen of the Apocalypse, " which
made motion picture history. They
have been close friends and mutual
admirers since that time.
Alice Terry and Antonio Moreno
have the leading roles in Mare Nos
trum." This picture was filmed on
the original locations in Spain,
France and Italy described by the
author in his book.

sPoRTsMEN COMPLAIN
( Commissioner Gives Advice on Use of
 Buttons

The town clerks office is iH receipt of a letter from John W Titcomb. re- lating to complaints from town ciersa and gportsmen that the license but tons recently provided. cannot be re Hahly fastened and hence implications are asked from the state board of fisheries and game.
 Superintendent Titcomb calls atteH ton to each applicant upon obtaining their license button to the importance of pressing in the loop which holds in the end of the pin and which may be bent outward in locking. The use of pliers to bend down the loop tc make a better fastening is advocate ] But for the fact that it is sometimes necessary to change from one coat to another as will be the case. particu- larly with the combination license. the point of the pin could be bent a trife over the loop. Superintendent Tit comb says: Most of the sportsmcn are cooperating in this innovation of using buttons as it will result in com polling those who have avoided taking out a license and contributing their share toward the support of the work to do so hereafter. In New York state. when the change was made to buttons, the increase. in revenue amounted to around s70 900 "
