Typical Miners in
"Pals in Paradise

When production was started on
"Pals in Paradise" the casting direc-
tor was faced with the necessity of
locating hundreds of swarthy miners
who would be typical of mining
community. This would prove diff
ficult assignment anywhere but in
Hollywood.
When it was announced that the
morning Shooting" was to begin at
the Metropolitan studios, more than
1000 bristly-faced applicants be-
sieged the casting office. From this
extensive assortment of types the re-
quired "extras" were selected in
short order.
'Pals in Paradise" which comes
to the Gala Theater next Thursday,
is story founded on a modern gold
rush, where the lowly fliyver sue
ceeds the burro as a means of loco
motion. John Bowers, Marguerite de
La Motto, May Robson, Rudolph
Schildkraut and Alan Brooks are
featured in the important roles.
Bruce Elwood and Ernie Adams play
the part of two crooks under the
leadership of the crafty Kenton,
played by Brooks.

The Indianapolis times., 1927-08-09

The people of this city today honor them
selves as they gather to welcome its greatest
of young Americans
For that welcome is much more than
praise to a daring youth. 1t is the express
sion of deep seated and ineradicable belief in
the traits of character that made this nation
a nation
His was the spirit of the pioneer when he
risked the unknown that new worlds might
be conquered.
The tribute that is given generously and
eagerly goes not to the act of mad youth who
accomplished the apparently impossible in a
moment Of recklessness.
Lindbergh is the national hero because he
possesses to very great degree those traits of
character which this country has learned to
reverence in all it's heroes of the past
He has courage the courage Of the
pioneer. He has the modesty of greatness
He has above all deep interest in accomplish
ment undimned by thought of personal gain
or fortune.
When he withstood the temptation to be-
come kin to every freak, competitor with ev-
ely NdudcN11l0 0tuSdIIOu, UTOlueE 10 Un6
notorious, he fixed his place eternally in the
hearts of his countrymen.
1t is because this nation still has reverence
for the sturdiness Of character Of those who
founded it that it can and does appreciate a
Lindbergh
This national idol does not need and per-
haps cares little for the popular applause that
is his. This nation does need and fortunately
has so firmly fixed in its national conscious
ness reverence for all that he means that it
honors itself while it pays it's tribute.
From the skies he signals to all that is
glorious in the past and points to all that may
be more glorious in the future
No tribute, save that of rededication to all
that Lindbergh signifies, is adequate

songs and all through the program
the commedian of the act keeps
breaking into the song that is be-
ing sung into one that has pro-
ceeded it. After several attempts it
gets very funny for the words match
up and give the strain a meaning
that is entirely different from the
one the author intended it to have.
Appropriately enough a solo by one
of the members of the trio is the
song written in commemoration OF
Colonel Lindbergh and titled Lucky
Indy"
Starting the bill this week at the
Lyric is Kluting's Entertainers; an
animal act. The act composed Of
dogs, cats, birds and even a rabbit
do number of tricks on a raised
platform. Concluding the act three
cats are sent aloft in balloon and
the pidgons roost on the basket as
it swings with it's feline cargo.
Two girls who compete with each
other to see which is the best vamp
are Baker and Grey. They have
some new jokes and several songs
that are new to Indianapolis. The
majority of the laughs come from
the gags" that they pull about
themselves. 1t is a good comedy act
and goes across to the audience in
good style.
Stanley and Quinet have a
presentation that deals with a
young man, who runs a book store
and a girl, who "has a book" Their
comedy is fast and good, while their
dancing makes a decided hit. They
don't make~such a bad duo when
it come to the popular songs either
Closing the performance are the
Four Bradnas. You never know
what they are going to do next.
They combine tumbling, hat throw
ing, and good old clowning in such
a way that every body goes home
in a good humor and laughing The
closing stunt is novelty idea of a
flame dance that is new to the local
theatergoing public.
News'reelS and comedies conclude
the program at the Lyric this week.

Back to the Simple Life
i've This little town a hand.

Give this little town hand
Two months ago Annapolis decided it needed a
nice set of stop-and-go traffic lights.
It just had to be like other American cities, and
weren't they all installing the things?
Why, town wasn't town any more unless it had
it's streets-or sreet-lighted up day and night like
Christmas tree.
So in went the pretty green and red lights at
total cost of 1900. And for while Annapolis was
very proud and happy Maybe there wasn't much
traffic along the historic street which George Wash
ington once Travelled to resign his generals commits
sion but at least there were traffic lights, and wasn't
that the next best thing?
But suddenly things have changed. petition
signed by forty business has just been presented
to the city council asking that the eight lights be
abolished as soon as possible.
The business men want Annapolis to be only its
old fashioned charming self. 1t will be something
of blow to the traffic light salesman, but the whole
thing is rather encouraging.

Filling Up Canal

Toledo furnishes graphic ex-
ample of how transportation has
been revolutionized.
Fifty years ago the town looked
upon the old Miami Erie canal as
nothing less than a guarantee of
it's future.
This canal, running straight
across the State, connected Toledo
harbor with the Ohio River.
Garfield once worked on it as a
tow boy.
Now they are going-to fill it up
and make a great boulevard for
automobiles. Rubber tires and COM
bustion engines, not to mention the
railroads, have inspired us to aban-
don water transportation wherever
we can.
One wonders whether this is a
mistake, whether we shall lose
more through the consumption of
fuel than we gain in time.

Our Visitors

Gathering to celebrate seventy-tve years OF
usefulness, the members Of the Typographical
Union now in session in this city have much
to remember with pride. y
Organized as a movement OF protest, this
organization has evolved into an agency OF
conservation.
It came into being as matter Of necessity
1t was formed. because the men who engaged
in this craft found their living conditions and
their wAge in constant warfare.
They stood together for justice to them
selves and in protest against working condi-
tions and wages which did not permit them
to live in self respect.
That they have been for years in the front
rank of every movement that stood for
higher standard of living, for conditions which
extend to much more than higher wage, is re-
sponsible for the continued growth and
strength of this organization.
This organization has been no unimportant
factor in the necessary readjustments that
came with industrial expansion and the change
in this nation from agriculture to industry.
By influence and example and leadership
it has had much to do with making this the
envied nation of the world It has stood the
test Of time because it has held to the Ameri-
can spirit and helped to maintain it.

A GOOD COMEDY
BILL AT THE LYRIC

When it comes to singing the
"blues" there is nothing like a rich
contralto voice to put it over in the
right manner. Miss Lee Morse pos
sesses that certain quality of voice
that makes what few real "dirt"
singers there are successful. The
negro race has as one of its char
acteristics the mack Of combining
notes in order to obtain weird ef-
feet. Miss Morse has a range of
voice that enables her to emphasize
to a marked degree the "blue" :
feet. She is billed as the southern
Aristocrat of Song" and we certain
ly want to hand it to her for living
up to the name, for she is hard to
beat.
Classical dancing has again come
to the fore on the vaudeville stage.
Olga and Mishka dance two num-
bers. one a classical and the other
a modern Interpretation of the
waltz. They carry with them their
own orchestra which, strangely
enough, is composed of two violins,
a bass viol, a cello and piano. This
accompaniment lends an air to the
performance that lifts it from the
common to teh ideal.

been absent from the city for some

the State who have almost ceased to respect the
When open violation of official oath, the require
ment of good citizenship, which engender fragrant
disregard of law, even going far to promulgate
laws framed and passed to enable them to carry out
their nefarious purposes it is indeed time for the

When such men have been elevated to leadership,

No Chance for Row

Like many another gigantic
project which we could take up with
profit, the st. Lawrence waterway
has failed as yet to arouse public
interest.
Perhaps this is because it offers
little opportunity for a row.
We are ready enough to go down
in our pockets for battle and blood<
shed, but we have not arrived 'at
a point yet where we can think of
constructive work in terms of billions
of dollars without getting cold feet.
The st. Lawrence waterway would
not cost per cent of what we were
only too glad to expend in the World
War. Neither would control of the
Mississippi or another Isthmian
Canal But while we were glad
enough to put up forty billion dollars
to lick the Kaiser, we cannot see
the wisdom of putting up one billion
for such proSaic enterprises.
