MAYOR TO PUT
ORDINANCES UP
TO COUNCILMEN
All Pending City Legislation
to Be Considered
Dec. 20.

Council President Claude E. Neg
ley today announced he would call
a special council session Dec. 20
to act on all pending ordinances.
The principal ordinance before
the council is the $415, 900 bond issue
proposed for a new Gamwell system
for police and fire departments. 1t
is understood council will kill the
measure in accordance with wishes
Of Mayor L. Ert Slack.
Although Slack declined to dis
cuSS the issue, it is known that he
favors delay on the project for a
year or two because of the financial
condition of the city at present.
Ask Program Approval
National Board of Fire Under
writer's and Indiana Inspection
Bureau officials who recommended
that the new Gamewell system be
installed in the last survey of the
local department, agreed to a delay
at a recent conference with Slack
and safety board members, it was
rumored.
Slack said he had discussed his
policies with the insurance repre-
SentativeS and asked their approval
Of his program, declining to state
his program. It is believed Slack
asked the approval of his "reor-
ganized department" which is ex-
pected to be effective Jan. 1, with
naming of successor to Fire Chief
Jesse A. Hutsell.
Pledged to Secrecy
Ernest M. Sellers Indiana In
spection Bureau manager, refused
to discuss the underwriters recon-
naendation declaring II am pledged
to secrecy by Mayor Slack"
Part of the bond issue was to sbe
used for installing electrical signals
and 1t has been suggested that the
council pass an ordinance allowing
the safety board to care for several
emergency conditions.
Several minor ordinances includ-
ing rezoning, transfers and build
ing code amendments are pending.

1t is remarkable what George r.
Eckert, an authority and n leader III
the movement in musical apprecia-
ton, has done with these boys and
girls.
Eckert directs from the orchestra
pit while Roy Phillips acts as direc-
tor on the stage with the orchestra.
These toy instruments have been
so arranged that beautiful tones
produce an effective playing of 1.-THE
Parade Of the Wooden Soldiers"
Joyous Farmer" and Moments
Musicale"
These children are getting splen-
did training along the lines of not
only approaching better music. but
actually playing it with toy instru-
mentS that cost only a>few cents.
Here is an organization that In
dianapolis has the right to be proud.
Of. 1t will be a revelation to all to
hear these children play.
Solly Ward really has monologue
worked out as a sketch under the
title of "Off to Maine" He has the
assistance of Marion Murray and
one other. Here is good fun and it
is something different from the mine
run sketch. 1t is really a travesty
upon the idea of family going on
a vacation. Well done.
Pepita Granados does wonders
with the castanets while dancing.
She puts plenty of fire and dash into
all of her work. She does an Amer
lean popular dance with the casti-
nets. First time I have seen this
done. Harry Holbrook, baritone,
seemed to be in bad voice yesterday
afternoon. It seems they all have to
sing "Mandalay." There must be at
least some other number in the
world besides this one.
Ralph Bevan and Beatrice Flint
have some mighty weak pointleSs
alleged comedy in Love Mates.
Poorly done. Billy Reed and Lew
Duthers are mighty good dancers.
Their comedy work is poor and their
singing about the same, but they do
know how to dance. AS dancers
they are splendid.

before the Senate itself has a chance
to pass it.
The resolution first must go to the
Committee on Interstate Commerce
headed by Senator Watson of Indi-
ana, on which the old guard has a
heavy representation. Then it must
go to the Committee on Audit and
Control of Expenses, headed by Sem
ator Fess of Ohio.
If Tess carries out the purpose ex-
pressed on the floor yesterday, this

considers only the expense side of

Mack toe dancer doing
tap dance on her toes. She is good.
Several juggling feats with barrels
and a girl are performed upon the
feet of one of the members of the
company. This company has Il
wealth Of material, but does not
scatter it to the winds.
Among the comedy teams that are
on the bill. Sully and Mack are con-
tenders for the first place. Their
act is of the patter kind, but these
men are showmen and know how to
get across. One of the men is a
dialect comedian and the other his
foil. They are clever
Crouch and Moore have a slice of
country folk life burlesqued. The
man is lazy and spends all his time
playing a mouth organ while his
wife works. And then she wants to
leave, but he promises her lot more
work and she stays. It's funny.
The Three BanguardS play some
classical and few modern selec-
tions on the xylophone. On two of
them in fact. This is fairly good.
especially the classical part. / would
suggest that they stick to that sort
of music for which they seem far
better adapted.
Slack and Hays take you for a ride
in their airplane The Spirit of
Jonah" This is a good black face
act built around the happenings and
mishaps of flying. 1t is. quite up-to-
date.
Hack and Mack have an acrobatic
turn in which the little member of
the act takes dive off of stack of
baskets to the hands of his partner
who stands in the footlightS. At
least there is thrill in this.
Comedies and news reels complete
the program.

GRAND BURLESQUE
AT THE MUTUAL
A better show than usual is now
playing at the Mutual. The show,
High Flyers is better dressed and
equipped than the majority of the
shows Of the circuit that have
played here this season.
Francis Farr, who is we'll known
to burleSque patrons, is featured in
the show. Miss Farr has a good
voice for the type Of popular songs
that she attempts. Betty Jane Lee
is the sou5rette and the best dancer
of the outfit. 1t may be well to say
here that Miss Lee is the most I'M
dressed member of the company.
This show, while it started slowly
for certain reasons, reached the
climax with a considerable snap.
Mike Sacks, dialect comedian is
assisted by Mr.. Pagan, who seems
to be an old trouper who made the
city many times in his career.
This may not be the best show to
reach here, but it is one of the best
up to this time. A chorus, that lacks
a lot of being the usual pony chorus,
helps make this good burlesque.
