were invited to the young mans
home and the most talented one
was to be the one considered. Paul
Rain was this man and while the
girls are changing he sings several
comedy songs that are clever. Two
Of the girls also sang. One with a
very low voice. The other had but
a fair voice. There was one toe
dancer, and she and another girl,
along with the man taking the part
of the butler, did a tap dance. This
is a pretty good act.
Holton and Whiting have one of

be married and one year after. One

good job of it. There are some
funny and clever bits of dialog in
this, as we'll as some good comedy.
Eddie White has a repertoire of

sings in a good fashion and some

LOOKING OVER
NEW BURLESQUE BILL

I have heard it said many times
that the success of the show never
depended on the comedians. How
ever I have seen the statement re-
pudiated several times.
Especially is this true in the bur-
lesque show. There has been shows
saved purely on the merits of the
comedians. Harry jackson in BE
Happy" is to my notion the man
that keeps the show from being
nothing. This man is also a good
actor of character parts, burlesqued
of course. When I was at the show
he did a skit in which he was a
drunk. 1t was all very silly. but it
was cleverly done.
Agnes Nichols was the leading
lady. She and her sister sang sew
eral songs and they had fair voices
Eloise Dwan was the best dancer of
the company. Frances Haines did
an aerial number hanging by her
teeth and with the aid of lights
making a butterfly.
BE Happy" is not an exceptional
burlesque show, but it does have
the saving of it by Harry Jackson.

Men who work hard, smoke hard

LEGION BID TO

Lone Eagle Is Convention
Speaker; 1000 Planes
Expected.
BY RICHARD C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Z SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. 28.-
!. In the shadow of The Alamo,
most sacred of ali war shrineS to
Texana, Americas participants in
the World War, will assemble here
Oct. for the tenth annual ma
tional convention of the American
Legion.
The Alamo, known to Texans as
the Cradle of Texas Liberty" has
been carefully preserved. A visit
to the Lone Star State is consid-
cred incomplete without visit to
the building in which Texas first
major battle against Mexico was
fought on March 6, 1886, four days
after Texas declared it's independ-
ence.
An attendance of more than U.s.
1000 is anticipated at the conven-
ton, according to the local hous-
ing committee. More airplaneS will
be used by visiting legionnaires for
this convention than at any previous
one.
Reports of flight parties have been
received from New York; Brockton
Mass; Cincinnati; Cheyenne; Kan
kakee, ILL.,; Clearfield, Pa: Los
Angeles, and Columbus.
Whereas the defenders of The
Alamo, all of whom were slain, had
only muzzle-loaders, the convention
here will devote much of its atteu-
ton to the most modern method Of
combat-airplanes. Efforts are be-
ing made to mobilize 1000 airplanes
here during the convention.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh has &C
cepted an invitation to be one of the
principal convention speakers. He is
expected to emphasize the mort
ance to the nation of an adequate
aerial defense.
With Brooks and Kelly fields To-
Gated nearby, San Antonio is ona
of the aviation centers of America.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-09-28

Hundreds of army fliers are trained
at these two fields annually.
All planes stationed at these two
fields and at Fort Crockett, near
Galveston, Texas, will participate
in the aerial program planned for
the convention.
The governments OF Cuba, Canada
and Mexico will send squadrons Of
airplanes to the convention. The
War Department has been requested
to order all World War pilots still
in Army service to San Antonio for
a reunion of war pilots.
Canada will lead the parade by
virtue of its increased American
Legion membership. The next three
States in line, determined by the
per cent of increase in membership
during the past year, will be Ala
mama, Louisiana and Mississippi.

FIRE drive SET
FOR OCT. 7-13
Chief VoShelI Calls on Citi-
zenS to Aid in Weeks
Campaign.

Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell to-
day appealed to citizens to aid the
fire prevention campaign the week
of Oct 7-13.
The program will center on edu-
cational activities and demonStra-
tons in homes, public buildings, in
dustrieS and stores.
Statistics show that so per cent
of the fires take place in homes and
that 81 per cent of fire deaths oc-
cur in dwellings, Voshell said.
Eliminate Fire Hazards
Special attention to the elimina-
ton of fire hazards will be given
during the drive, he declared.
I'm order to effectively combat
the fire menace, this years fire
prevention campaign must be the
most complete and efficient as we'll
as the most entsusiastic on record.
Systematic avoidance of fires
throughout the year is the need of
this city. We should practice each
day the lessons learned in fire pre-
vention week." Voshell declared.
Make Drive Continuous
Fire prevention in Indianapolis is
a matter of 1865 days and not
spontaneous drive" Frank Jordan,
Chamber of Commerce fire preven-
ton chairman, said.
"Our splendid fire prevention rec
ord is due to the efforts which be-
gin Jan. and do not end until the
last day of December. Our program
for fire prevention week, Oct. lib,
will be a city-wide observance in
keeping with the national activi-
ties" Jordan said.

The sudden thought came to
Eddie that. in fact, Marian had
already attempted something of
the kind. She had spoken OF
her disapproval Of his ambition,
his standing. He had worked
until his hands were blistered,
and she had likened him only to
an illiterate laborer.
Somewhere she sensed lack
Of worth in him, but she had not
been able to point out any specific
path of progress. Merely, she
had expressed dissatisfaction. had
made him skeptical Of himself.
There was no solution for that
