Little cid we realize that we had
ahead of us an experience beside which
that of the Soendre Stromfjord was

was with us and we came through un-

overhaul extensively. so that we could
not get off again till late afternoon
I understood the Shippers pantomimc
request to me to mean that he would
go out from the coast and later find a

we were out beyond the line of reefs

AROUND THE CITY
BY MAMIE LANCASTER.

and there was little gust OF excite
ment about the posing. A string OF the
girls had perched themselves on the
edge of one of the stone columns, With
their feet dangling over the portico.
They were about as happy as so many
we'll dressed. healthy girls out for a
good time could possibly be. and their
chatter and giggles were so joyfully
shrill as to catch the attention of a
woman who was riding by on street
car.
Youth and jollity failed to win the
favor of this overparticular passenger.
for the always-ready-to-we frown
dcepcned a bit around her mouth as
she said to the mere man with her:
Its scandalous the way those girls
are carrying on--showing their legs
like that. Serve them right If every
last one were TO fall and break their
necks."
It wasn't nice remark. but it
neither harmed the girls who couldn't
hear nor the passengers around who
did. Whether 1t hurt the woman. is
another thing. To one passenger
around. sympathy went out to the OBJ
vious husband. as she said to herself
having no one handy to say it to:
Think of having to live with a
woman like that. every day and every
night as long as ever he lives-I bet
he'd rather be single!"
And by that time the car had turned
down the Avenue with the photograph
ing party still on the steps, But the
woman kept on talking:
The law ought to Jail every woman
who shows her knees" and so on. And
the husband man had to sit there and
listen.

SINGING FOOL"
STARTS THIRD WEEK

Al JolSon is putting Indianapolis
in the extended run" class Of cities
with his triumphant Vitaphone pic
ture drama, The Singing Fool,
which after two weeks of record
smashing business at the Apollo now
embarks upon a third and final
week with theater- goers still clam
oring for admission and forming
audiences that tax the capacity OF
the house.
The Singing Fool' is beyond
doubt the greatest hit yet achieved
since the "talkieS" came into vogue.
But aside from the merit of the
play itself all credit must go to
JolSon. His songs and sufferings,
his joys and conquests as the sing
ing waiter who scales the heights
only to be cast into the depths of
despair through the perfidy of the
woman he loves are the things that
give the story its universal appeal
an appeal which could be made by
no other actor before the public
today.
Jolson sings new songs, covers new
emotional ground, and pours out his
heart in the exaggerated, jazzy, con-
quering way that makes his person
atty altogether irresistible. He has
the support of an all-star cast head
ed by Betty Bronson and Josephine
Dunn and including a mighty as

brings to the screen the whine of
bullets, the drone of airplane pro-

a great aerial conflict.
Wings has already had sue

on Broadway where it is still being
shown as a roadshoW attraction. 1t
has also played long runs in London,
Paris and other large cities of the
