CALLING NAMES

Whispering campaign in presidential election
is sad sort of thing 1t is not inspiring to see grave
charges hurled against the character of candidate
for the presidency.
But if you think this years campaign is bad, you
ought to have been in the United States century ago.
When Andrew Jackson campaigned against John
Quincy Adams.
"A usurper an adulterer cock-fighter, brawl-
or and drunkard" were a few Of the choice names
that were hurled at jackson. And, incidently, it
wasn't exactly whispering campaign; these things
were yelled out loud in broad daylight Jackson's
friends it might be noted. replied in like vein.
Some aspects of today's campaign may not be
Pleasing but least have got beyond the stage OF
century ago.

TIE MAY CAUSE
WORLD SERIES TO
BE POSTPONED
Bv FRANK GETTY

(United Press StaIl Noiieofs"
NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.--The pos
sibility of a postponement OF tho
World Series, scheduled to star.
next Thursday, arose today wheh IL
became apparent that there was
considerable chance of the National
League pennant race ending IN
tie between the New York Glahts
and the st. Louis Cardinals.
The New York Yankees are
safely in line for their third sue
cessive American League champ
lonship, and cannot be beaten unless
they lose all their remaining games
and the Philadelphia Athletics win
three straight.
In the National League, the Card
iuals lead by one game and have
three more to play, the last with
the Giants themselves at the Polo
Grounds on Sunday. All the reserved
seats for this final game have been
sold and a record crowd for the bah
park by Coogan $ Bluff is antici-
pated.
The Giants have two more games
to play with the Chicago Cubs be-
fore they meet the Cardinals, who
are playing the Boston Braves today
and tomorrow.
If the Giants do as we'll against
the Cubs as the Red Eirds do at
Boston, both winning two, for cx-
ample, the leaders will meet on
Sunday with st. Louis still leading
by single game. And if the Giants
win that Sunday game, the standing
will be tied.
Under the rules, they would then

company, as usual, alternating be-
tween indianapolis and Cincinnati,

statement.
We plan, however, TO observe the
centenary of Ibsen's birth with one
or more of the great dranatist's

producer said. I also hope that
there will be sufficient encourage
ment to warrant the revival of some
of Shakespeare less-known plays

Elizabethian and Restoration
periods Of the English drama
George Somnes will direct the
productions staged in indianapolis,

By-Night," will open at English's for
a three-day engagement, beginning
Monday, April 9.
"Fly-By-Night," is a comedy of
theatrical life on the road by John
Golden and Kenyon Nicholson, the
author Of THE Barker" and we'll
known Charlottesville playwright.
The play is the first joint Offering
OF Golden and Selwyn, who in
dividually have been producing
successes over an extended period Of
years; and their latest play rep
resentS a product of their joint eX-
perience and active cooperation.
Fly By-Night," is a novel laugh
vehicle built around the experiences
OF an Uncle Toms Cabin" COM
pany touring Kansas in the wake Of
cyclones. AS in THE Barker" that
vivid drama of the carnival, Kenyon
Nicholson has again drawn an in
innate picture of his subject after
absorbing its color and atmosphere
in the course of first-hand contact.
The characters of Fly-By-Night"
register a conviction of living
actuality that will be instantly APP
preciable to anyone with an intima-
ton of life as it is lived on the road.
Adding special interest to the
piece, is the background of a pres
entation of Uncle Toms Cabin"
that profound drama of the traffic
in slaves, which played an in9por-
tant part in precipitating the Civil
War and which is so familiar still,
in incident and character, to the
generation of today. Superimposed
in sharp relief on this panorama, is
the modern story Of real human be-
ings, loving and hating, fighting and
serving; and so they play their
parts.

in Hell Bent for Heaven and

night and Wednesday matinee,
"Iolanthe"; Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights, THE Pirates OF

be for one week only.
"Iolanthe" is the first opera by
Gilbert and Sullivan to have been
produced by MI. Ames. The pres
entation was made at the Plymouth
Theater, New York, where it ran
for thirty-fve weeks, record en-
gagement for the operetta in this
country.
The popularity of "Iolanthe' en-
couraged Mr.. AmeS to make pro-
auctions of 1.-The Mikado" and THE
Pirates of Penzance,' which became,
equally successful, its combined
metropolitan runs extending over
a period of Sixty-flve weeks. 1t is
Mrs. Anles' plan TO make his Gilbert

permanent institution, establishing
a repertoire which will be enlarged
from season to season.
With this plan in view, the pro-
ducer has sent his original company

director.
Unlike many companies, the
Winthrop An1es organization aives
a complete production of each
opera. THE Mikado' was designed
and costumed by Raymond Sovey
and the dances staged by Michio Ito,
the Japanese dancer, and MI AmeS
directs the production.
This opera has been one Of the
most popular of the Gilbert and
Sullivan pieces. 1t holds the record
for number Of performances in New
