JURY PROBE DELAYED
May Take Up Shirley Shooting Case
Thursday.

BIZ United Press
NEWCASTLE, Ind, April 6.-The
Henry County grand jury will meet
Thursday to investigate the fatal
shooting of Herman Riggs, farmer,
last Friday by Melvin Rigsby, Shir-
ley town marshal, it was announced
today.
The meeting had been planned for
today, but Prosecutor Pau. Benson
was out of the city.
Relatives of Riggs have employed
a prominent firm of attorneys to
prosecute Rigsby should the grand
jury return an indictment.
1t is probable that Rigsby will be
defended by the county attorney,
having no funds to hire counsel, al
though it is rumored his friends are
making up a fund for his defense.

ever, we may hope not only for fresh Towering, of dramatic talent in all it's phases but also for the gradual developments of more in- telligent and becoming taste on the part of the patrons of the theaters. our day inevitably has a commercial or financial aspect and it cannot, if it would, wholly divorce itself from the box office index of the prevail ing taste of it's public. Therefore. whatever makes for more thought full and discerning appreciation is to the ultimate advantage of the thea ter. viewed as one of the significant factors in the society of our time.
 The Public Demand.
 Whatever may be ones view of the dictum art for arts sake and however pertinent one may regard morals in the evaluation of works of art, the brute fact remains hat people stubbornly insist on apply ing an ethical or social criterion to art and certain types of drama in particular are just now passing through stormy seas of threatened censorship, because they are alleg, q to offend taste. or to corrupt morals or both. Certainly if the community may insist that physical sewage be properly disposed of in ways not menacing to health, it Is esually justified in protesting against the pollution of its sources of moral de- cency. Furthermore one must ad init that any institution which touches so intimately, as does the theater the life of our people, and especially our youth, must comfort itself with some regard to the ac- cepted cannons of decorum. The community will not indefinitely tol- crate the parade of social filth for purely mercenary motive nor will it allow the urge of so-called self-ex- pression to indulge itself in indecent exposure of disea sed or obscence inn pulses. These things may flourish for a time, but they always lead to a reaction which Is destructive to the finest and most enduring uses of the theater, and. as such, may well De ISCOSHlLSu dllu utdlt NIlll in the home of it's friends"
 Dean Meeks Speaks
 Dean Everett V. Meeks. of the Yale School of Fine Arts, in welcom- ing the delegates, pointed out that while fit has been, is and always will be recognized the function of an academic body to study the lessons of the past" 1t has been found at Yale that the active minds of the young men and women students of today are no longer satisfied with curriculum of study which merely leads to an understanding and knowledge of the art of the past; they are strongly attracted to the possibilities of creative work. par ticularly in art.
 And so almost overnight" Dean Meeks continued, through the vi- sion and generosity of a devolved aluminus, Yale was able to contem- plate the supplementing of a com parative program of historical and literary academic study in the drama

with an equally comprehensive pro- demic study in the drama with an equally comprehensive program of instructions in creative dramatic art. In consequence we have about us today this splendid plan manned by a capable and enthusiastic faculty and beloved leader in dramatic teaching. George Pierce Baker.
 Powerful Factor
 You are entering into practically every important community as powerful educational factor. Your work is a splendid one and deserves the heartiest support of all inter ested in making American life more beautiful, more complete. How great, therefore. Is our common obligations to continue to stick to the ideals of truly written. truly acted and truly presented drama, conceived in art. produced artistically and acted with art. At this time of agitation against the so-called degeneration of the play and Of various movements pro- posing a censorship to cure 1t, it seems as if an almost providential opportunity has been given us to prove our usefulness in maintaining such standards.
 And so if I speak by profession as an artist and educator may I speak perhaps as a no less devoted layman in the drama. It seems to me that whatever we do In art We must have the element of beauty permeat- ing its central theme. In this way we may avoid on the one hand the un- wholesomeness of morbidity, or on the other the colorlessness of sweet ness or sentimentality. So that be- lieve that in all our art, in what ever form the creative artistic mind finds expression in this present day, if we are to carry on the living flame we must bear this imposed aesthetic condition in mind. I am thinking of no restricted middle ground, what I am thinking of are certain limits beyond which we must not go, certain elemental canons of construction bound up with the very concept of art that we must respect. It Is those very limits which make our work more interesting, keep us on our mettle. It Is the artist who not only has his head in the clouds but his feet on the ground who sue ceeds. By the very nature of things he is a giant"

Through he Static

Last night was not a good one by any means. There was static and there was no chance of reaching out to corral western stations until after midnight, at least we found that to be our experience. Locals and semi locals came through strong, but we encountered several varieties of buzz, etc. etc, and volume wasn't what 1t should have been.
 WTIC couldn't have picked a bet ter night for its anniversary pro- gram If the station officials were desirous. The Hartford station pro vided a long and varied program. guaranteed to be of interest to everyone. None Of the offerings we're long enough to get tiresome and most of them left one with the feel ing that he should have enjoyed hearing more. N
 Skinny and His Gang presented a novel offering in the form of a crys- tal-gazing stunt. It was evident that skinny had been listening to Rajah Raboid, who broadcast some Of his readings from the station early in the week. Skinny answered questions supposed to have been asked by members of the studio staff, including the announcers, the hostesses and the boys up on the roof the operators The answers were funny. One of the questions was How do you suppose Dana S. Merriman, musical director. will be able to keep awake to conduct his ensemble at o'clock in the morn ing?" The answer. That's all right, Dana. Your audience will be in the same fix" The Raiah's short tense expressions and his mysterious man. ner were perfectly burlesQued.
 We listened on and off to many of the features presented by WTIC and, to our way of thinking, the program did the organization proud. There was not dull moment and the fea- lures were so arranged that variety was present throughout. Later in the evening we heard Erva Giles and Levitow's ensemble, delightful as usual, and we also heard the News and Weather" feature offered by the Blue Boys. Hanford Billings doesn't seem to get the right expres- sion to the announcements in rhyme, which go with the Blue Boys pro- gram. He sounds as if he were rid ing over rough road in an automo- bile. Later still we heard Memories" as played by Walter Dawley on the Capitol theater organ, and then we quit. What went after that we can't report on. We presume that things kept going until o'clock. but you'll have to hear 1t from someone else, not us. This fellow Morpheus is a great guy.

Complaints have been made to the proprietor of the place, sometimes with results and sometimes with none. but always the crashing and is present in the loud speaker a night or so later.

DRAMA CONFERENCE IS HELD AT YALE.
300 Leading Dramatsts of
 C6antgy at Sessions

New Haven. Feb. Il F-Three hundred men and women from 23 states, who make the drama their life work, assembled here today to attend the conference on the drama at Yale university. For two days they will talk drama, hear drama and see drama in all of it's phases. and will be addressed by mhn, who while classified as profession als, rank high in the dramatic pro- fession.
 The delegates were welcomed to New Haven and to Yale by Presi- dent James Rowland Angell of the university, who expressed the opin- ion that the fact that this nation wide conference is occurring at a great university center is a circum- stance whose significance may well be weighed.
 of all the arts" President Any gell said, the drama probably makes the widest appeal and has had perhaps the most checkered career. Serving at many stages in history as the handmaid of reli- zion and tn. medium of expression has at other times been arrayed against religion and regarded by the pious as the underminer of morals, the destroyer of faith.
 Theater of Today
 The theater of our own day has run the gamut of these his- .torical extremes, giving us at times a stark simplicity or DOT trayal, demanding the utmost play of imagination on the part of the spectator in order fully to sense the meaning of the dramatist. again offering more or less subtle symbolism as clue to the pur- port of the play. and finally draw ing upon all the resources of mod ern science and art in the way of scenery. setting, lighting and myriad media by which the mind is captured and the feelings moved
 I've at Yale are the natural heirs of the Puritan tradition with it's suspicion of the arts and its acute hatred of the stage and its people. But this tradition has been softened in the passage of time, in part perhaps because art is too in tegral a part Of life to be perma- nently excluded, and in part be- cause our Puritan stream has been necessarily mingled through the centuries with currents of other stock holding other expectations

of the intrinsic values of life.
 Tt should not be forgotten that Yale has long offered instruction touching various aspects of drama tic history and literature. much less that the Yale undergraduate has considerable tradition of in- terest in dramatic production. h. deed be it said to his great credit, that this has for many years typi- cally taken the form of presenting plays of established worth, inter spersed with occasional plays written by students. One would not be pharisaical. but when com show which too often represents the highest dramatic flight of stu dent organizations these achieve ments of the Yale students are highly praiseworthy. ...
 Interest Is Spreading
 Now few social phenomena are more striking than the recent spread of interest in the drama throughout the United States. It is not simply. nor perhaps primarily that the metropolitan centers have found it. difficult to build theaters fast enough to satisfy the demand for that fact has explanations which run in part to the craving of the crowd. and especially the new ly rich, for excitement and amuse- nent, but 1t is rather the extra aordi- nary extent of what may be called a serious interest in the drama which has spread to every hamlet in the land. Apart from the seri- ous interest to which I allude, there is naturally wide area of relatively spurious, or at least su- perficial, interest, which is, at best. first cousin to the childish delight in dressing up and showing off to say nothing of the hardy annual crop of budding geniuses, who must, at whatever cost to neigh bors and friends, be seen upon the stage. When one speaks of serl- ous interest, one may ask to be ex- onerated from implying anything
 
 of an up-lift character. The drama has perhaps suffered almost as much from its up-lifters as from it's debauchers. One means serious in the sense of sincere, honest, thoughtful. To what extent the moving picture has contributed to, or detracted from, this tendency, I do not attempt to discuss. In any event, the spoken drama has sud denly come into a new public es- teem and thousands of persons are today eager to identify themselves with it's development where scores could a few years ago have been enlisted.
 Under such circumstanc 1t has semed appropriate to the university. and the imagination and generosity of Edward S. Hardness has made it possible to attempt the interesting venture which Porf. Baker and his colleagues have here launched.
