chorus who roll and play the drums
as if they had been at it for years.
The eight principals of the COM
pany make up the octette that play
classical and jazz music. They are
led by the diminutive Anna Propp.
I have seen many burlesque shows,
but the dancing of Margie Burke is
about the cleanest of any lead wom-
en- I have seen in many a day. Miss
Burke, while dancing with abandon,
keeps the dances from getting rank,
as such dances have a tendency to
do. Although the costumes leave
little to the imagination, this dancer
does not try to prostitute the an
Gent art.
Anna Propp, who it Is said is a.
recruit Of the English stage, does
acrobatic dances and sings her way
through the show. R 18th Darling
is the other soubrette who although
she can't sing, gets by with her
dances.
The comedy Of the piece is sup
piled by AL Flatico, a dialect come
dian, who has been here before, and
Jack Ericsson. They have several
skitS that have been taken from
several of the larger shows and bur-
lesqued. Notable among these skits
is a bit from 1.-The Hairy Ape" and
a scene from white Cargo" While
enough of the original remains to
be able to tell what it is, the parts
are made funny by the way they
are done.
Henry Neiser does a turn as a
frog and he is good III the contor-
lions that the part necessitates. In
the second act Neiser performs on
huge web that is suspended from
the ceiling. In this he is a spider
and while in some unusual postures
he crawls around the web and fin
ally into the center from which he
emerged.
In this production the chorus is
not worked very hard. Most of the
hard work falls on the principals.
The chorus is well trained and can
wear the costumes in most be-
coming manner. They do soldier
act that shows much training.
"Sheikee" was billed as a special
dancer with the company, but for
some reason or other she did not
appear, or if she did failed to rec
ognize her.
Would say that the Band Box Re-
vue is the best show that the local
burlesque theater has had this sea-
son. At the Mutual all week.-(By

Need for protection for school
children at keystone Ave. and
Forty-Sixth St., was pointed out to
Mr.. FiXit today
Mr.. FiXit We, in our neighbor-
hood, have appealed to every official
we know of in an effort to have
some protection for our youngsters
who attend the school at Forty
Sixth st. and keystone Ave. This
is large school and needs traffic
protection badly.
keystone Avenue is smoothly
paved and has become one of. the
many speed tracks of the city. Sew
eral times recently children have
been almost dragged from the jaws
Of death under the cars Of some of
these speed demons.
This is out of the city limits and
it seems impossible to obtain any
action from the county officials.
Will you please advise us where we
might be able to obtain the protec-
ton so needed heref

Tod Stops, Hoosier Motor Club
secretary, informed Mr.. Fixit he
would investigate the situation
and take any steps possible to
provide relief for the district.

Evidence Concealed

The idea of having the question
Of war guilt" before a body of
impartial judges, as Won linden
burg has suggested is quixotic. In
the first place, 1t is fanciful to
suppose that a body of impartial
judges could be found, and in the
second, it is just as fanciful to
suppose that they could settle any
thing.
If history cannot be written at
the point Of gun. it cannot be
written by trumped up tribunals.
About the best that can be done
is to lay all the cards on the table
and let the truth gradually take
shape through the prolonged,
arduous labor of historians.
Concealment in behalf of pride,
prejudice and patriotism confused
the. issue to begin with and still
confuses it.
1t is amazing to find the United
States government concealing ev-
ideNce which it authorized to be

Catholics Against AL

At this particular moment,
there can be little doubt that
Smith is the outstanding candi-
date on the Democratic side,
while Hoover is the most likely
choice of the Republicans.
Though Hoover and Hughes
may be, about equal in the East,
the former is far stronger in the
West and South.
Curious as it may seem, the
most dangerous opposition to
Governor Smith is developing
around the leadership of two dry
Catholics - Senator Walsh of
Montana and Colonel Callahan of
Kentucky.
Colonel Callahan declares that
it is as intolerant to vote for
Smith as it is to vote against him
on account of his religion, and
that his attitude on the liquor
question is the most important
feature of his candidacy.

In its latest summary, the

Smith is strong in the East and

On the Republican side, it finds
that Hoover and Hughes are about

Growth of Cities

The Census Bureau estimates
that New York now has a popu-
lation of practically 100000, Chi
cago a population of more than
100000, Philadelphia a popula-
ton of more than 100000 and
that one-third of the Nation lives
in its hundred largest cities.
All these cities have grown up
within a century, almost within
half a century.
There never was such an era
of city building as has taken
place in the United States.
Machinery has made it possible.

Zoning Plan Gains

Until recently the American city
suffered from promiscuous de-
velopment. No one expected it to
attain any such size as it has,
consequently little attention was
paid to planning f,or its future.
About twenty years ago few
of the clearer thinkers realized
that city planning was even more
badly needed than houses, hotel.
Office building or factory planning.
The idea has met with bitter
opposition, chiefly because many
people looked upon it as just one
more interference with personal
liberty, but it has steadily gained.
The same intelligence that pro-
,duced mechanical life is needed
to make it safe.
The more we go in for speed
and power the mote we must sub
ordinate ourselves to system and
discipline.

Big Seaport
MiIitariSt Forces Smashed;
Railroad Cut

LONDON. March 20.-The entry
of the Nationalist troops into Shang-
hal is now expected by tomorrow,
Tuesday at the latest and possibly
before morning.
The southern forces, according to
the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express, are only eight miles
from Shanghai, with an open road
before them. The northerners, il is
said, have fled in great disorder maxi
ing no effort at all to oppose the Can
tOnese troops.
By piercing the lines Of the war
lords at Sungkiang, about thirty miles
southeast Of Shanghai, the National
lists cleared the path to Shanghai.
Smash Northern Line.
The collapse of the northern line
defended by about 1000 troops Of
General Chang Tsung- Chang, the
Shantungese war lord, was brought
about by an outflanking movement
by the Nationalist forces. Without
making any attempt to resistance, the
troops of the war lords evacuated
their position.
While one section of the Nationalist
troops were storming Sungkiang, 9TH
ers were hammering away at Nan
king and Soochow. Soochow, a key
position on the Shanghai-Nanking
Railway, is probably in the hands of
the Nationalist, while the fortress
commanding the southern entrance to
Marking is reported as having been
captured.
