mere preaching against the evils of
war. He allows the story to drive
home the lesson without slapping
you again and again with a sermon
on war. AS you recall the story
from the stage play, the scenes are
laid in Vienna during the World
War. We first get a real look into
Vienna before war came. Here we
see Lillian Gish and her sweetheart,
played by Ralph Forbes, leading the
life Of lovers the world over. Lillian,
the girl of the character, loves her
country, her boy friend and all the
world. She believed that she had
the right to marry her boy. Then
war comes on to the happy scene.
Where all was loving life, war
changed into hate, greed and death.
And these qualities along with pow
erty comes into the girls life. 1t is
here, in picturing the effect OF war
upon the brain, spirit, life and con-
ception of duty that Miss Gish be-
comes the world wide artist. She
does not pose this time. She acts.
She catches the spirit of real lie
and how it reacts upon character.
You feel the terrible evil effect
of war upon this girl as played by
Miss Gish. She looks the part at
all times. She makes a complete
change in appearance from the time
she is in love with lad not at war
to that of a girl that is carrying
the burden alone of the world upon
her shoulders. I believe that you
will feel that here is Bernhardt
acting, powerful, honest and human.
Here is character acting that will
get into your heart and your brain
box. You will be glad that after
seeing this one that Miss Gish was
in 1.-THE Enemy"
You will agree with me, I am sure,
that in this picture Miss G1sh is
the mature artist, able to catch
more than the suggestion of hap
piness and sorrow. She has caught
the whole works.
You will be glad TO, know that
Fritzie Ridgeway, well known per-
sonally as we'll as professionally in
Indianapolis because she was IN
private life here the wife of Con-
stantin Bakaleinikoff, former direc-
tor of the Circle orchestra, has a
prominent role in 1.-THE Enemy"
Miss Ridgeway knows her theater
and realizes the art Of dressing it
up in the terms of life. She is cast
as one of the wives Of the cannon
fodder in Vienna. And when the
character becomes a street walker
during the war to keep from starv-
ing, we'll, Miss Ridgeway does some
grand walking. She is convincing
and individual in this role.
Ralph Forbes plays opposite Miss
Gish. He draws his character in
fine big honest strokes. You would
expect George Fawcett as the cruel
baron to be splendid. He is.
From a scenic standpoint 1.-THE
Enemy" is splendid. Every scene
looks the part. Here is one seri-
ous picture of life that you should
see. Please don't miss it, Don't
let anybody talk you out of seeing

ices OF Emil Seidel, William Sisters,

a. song. Ramona" and they give it
all the moonlight quality that this
number demands. Even the Soloist,
I forget his name, but I should re-
member it, lands a solid hit. This
number as directed and developed
by Davis is a sensation. There are
numerous other entertainers who
fit in with the college-youth idea.
From scenic standpoint the revue
is at times crude, not lavish at any
time. But this revue has that quail
ity of youth and eagerness which
makes it a WOW.
Now to consider the movie,
Broken Dreams" 1t has fine and
even polished acting, because Flor
ence Vidor is cast as one of those
women who wanted to get out Of
the kitchen. And this dame gets
out Of the kitchen by marrying a
whale of a rich guy, banker, oh,
so very old. who just wanted to
dress up a good-looking gal and be
able to call her his wife. But all
the time there was a good, honest,
healthy, young guy (played by Gary
Cooper waiting just beyond the
corner or the corn stack. Of course,
the writer of this story was wise
enough to make Gary rather cold
toward the gal who turned him
down for a pocketbook. And so he
starts out to tame the shrew. And
how. Happy ending. On, yes. But
what became of the banker. I don't
know.
And there is good acting, plenty
of it, on the part Of Miss Vidor.
Oh, yes, and there is Stuart Barrie
at the pipe organ.
This show will appeal 80 the
young bloods. Mighty pleasant en-
tertainment.

HOLSTERS Will
KEEP UP FIGHT
FOR WOOLLEN
We'll Put Him Across for
President, Not Mere Sec
ond Choice They Say.

By Times Special
HOUSTON, Texas, June 25.-'1
have heard much favorable talk
about Evans Woollen for Vice
President, but you tell Indiana we
are here to put him over for Presi-
dent and not Vice President" G. A.
Greathouse, national committee
man, said today.
He said that Woollen was dividing
attention with Cordell Hull of Ten
nessee and Senator Joseph r. Rob-
,nSon OF Arkansas as a contender.
Discovery that most Of the talk
is about the vice presidency reflects
the general feeling of this conven-
ton crowd, delegates as well as Wis
itorS that Governor Smith Of New
York is "in," so far as the presiden-
tial nomination is concerned.
1t is understood, though not from
Greathouse, that more than twenty
OF the Indiana delegation would vote
for Smith as second choice in case
Woollen released them.
HOOSiers Welcomed
Houstonians greeted the incom-
ing Woollen special, arriving today
with about eighty Hoosiers. Twenty
five motor cars met the HOLSTERS at
the station and took them to their
hotels. A committee of Houston
ians was to meet the special some
twenty miles out and make the In
diana crowd feel at home before
Houston is reached.
The "Old Gray Mare" band of
Brownwood, Texas, official conven-
ton band, also met the Hoosiers at
the station.
w. H. O'Brien, chairman of the
Indiana delegation, and other of
ficialS have agreed to the Texans
plans to dine the HoosierS tonight
at the San Jacinto battle-ground,
about twenty miles out.
The Indiana caucus will be held
following this dinner, at the San
Jacinto Inn. 1t was formerly
planned to dine and caucus at the
Lamar Hotel here.
Like Watermelon Joints
About twenty Hoosiers arrived to-
day by train and auto, prior to the
arrival Of the Woollen Special.
Among these were O'Brien and his
son, Cornelius O'Brien, both of
Lawrenceburg; Joseph M. Cravens,
Madison; w. j. Mooney, Indian
apolis; John Russell and IRA Hamil-
ton, Greensburg; Scott Lucas. Ma
tional Adjutant of the American
Legion, Indianapolis; Bowman
Elder, indianapolis; Dale Critten.
berger, Marion; w. F. Cronin, Terre
Haute; State Senator w. B. Carl
ton, Norman Baum, @. H. Garrison
and Henry Osha, all of Boonville,
came by auto.
The most popular places in
Houston, with arriving Hoosiers, are
known locally as watermelon
joints"
They serve nothing but slices
three feet long, of red, ripe, sweet
cold Texas watermelons.
The first HooSiers here discovered
them, and practically every Hoosier
visitor since has found his way
there.

AVIATION rs
POPULAR HERE

Aviation is becoming as popular
as driving, at least in the movies.
It has furnished many plays to the
screen, as well as comedies. Here is
another of the comedy variety that
has lots of laughs.
The story Of the Flying Romeos"
concerns the adventures of two
BARRIERS who unwittingly get caught
in the maelstrom of aviation. These
two old haircutters are in love with
their manicurist who would fall for
any aviator
They are jealous of each other

adjusts the actor to the role. Three
Sinners" as Put on the screen, does
net carry conviction as story, and
it is impossible for Negri to achieve
even the suggestion of great acting.
In other words, she is overloaded
with role that she should never
have had. This woman is capable
of carrying an audience to the
heights of interest, even today when
she is blessed with the right story.
In this story the basic idea is
false loyalty Of a wife to a false
husband. She casts off her name
after night of romance" In this
country, we would call that night
darned poor judgment. The story
OF this wife who changes her name
as we'll as the color Of her hair,
does not carry conviction.
I, at no time, had any sympathy
for the character. Both as written
and played as we'll as directed. Her
husband was false by being in "the
arms of another woman" on the
same night that his wife twas in
the arms of another man." This
story has the foreign touch as 20
theme, but it isn't honest enough
to convince. This is another for
eign invasion story that doesn't
land as far as I am concerned. Be

Two years ago Pa Wa, on which the

Sandy Wee knew Of the legendary

whether he believed in it perhaps will
never be known 1t is probable that
he and his unfortunate comrade had

Whether they believed 1t or not they
knew that many Of their countrymen
did and that 1t was being said even
the return Of Pa Wa to his own land
could not wipe out the insult Of taking
