Protests from Indianapolis citi-
zens who paid fines as high as $25
and costs for speeding and traf-

police and judges in Police Chief
Claude Worleys safety drive has
overshadowed justice, today brought
from Municipal Judge Clifton r.
Cameron a statement that in his
court speeding cases will be tried
on their merits and fines assessed
without vindictiveness.
More than 100 persons were given
tickets Wednesday night and
Thursday by motorcycle patrol
under Capt. Lester Jones, with or
ders to stop speeding on Indian
apolis streets.
Forty-Six we're fined Thursday,
eighteen for speeding, on several OF
whom we're given $25 fines, and
twenty EIGHT we're penalized for dis
obeying traffic signals, few being
assessed the same amount.
When the drive was begun. Judge
Cameron disclosed today, Capt.

him the speeding docket would be
heavy.

denied his presence was intended
to influence the judge, Chief Wor-

WARREN STEVENS Is
 SOUGHT BY BROTHER

All the oldtimers around Sew ard recall Warren Stevens who left here for the Fairbanks dis trict about 1912. His brother Bert left Seward for California along about 1905 and has been down there since and, during the re- cent visit to the southern state by A. F. Davis, prominent Sew ard business man, he met Bert and was informed that not a word had been heard from War ren for almost 20 years.
 Some years ago, at various in tervals, their parents passed away and at those times Bert wired to the last known address of his brother but received no word in reply; nor did he even receive word that the telegrams had not been called for, Bert feels certain Warren is still in Alaska and, somewhere in the Fairbanks country, and, as one oldtimer to another, would appreciate infor- nation which might lead to Warren's present address. Any information should be directed to A. F. Davis, Seward; MT. Da- wis will forward such news re- ceived to Bert who is living at Coyotte, Calf.

He wanted to pros pect very bad this summer but inasmuch as he had bad luck on the trap line was compelled to look for steady work in order to get another stake together.
 c. A. PattiSon, new man who has just arrived in Alaska from Landu, Wyoming and Boise, Ida ho, where he was in business as a taxidermist, leaving there for the fertile fields of the North country, picked Alaska as the best choice. He proposes to locate either at Seward or Anchorage. He came to Chulitna to visit the Boedeker brothers having known them Out side. He is stopping with them over on Portage creek at their main camp, 13 miles east of Gnu litna.

Mr.. Herk's statement indicates that
/ it is not his intention to inject piety
into his performances by any means,
but he believes that "the world Is diff
ferent today to what 1t was Is years
ago." and any way If the guardians of
the properties so regard 1t in their
espionage of ziegfeld, Carroll and
White shows, why should they overlook
the fact when they give the once over
to his burlesque performances In
other words, If this or that isn't wicked
in Mr.. Ziegfeld's "glorified burlesque."
it isn't possible for 1t to be wicked In
Mr.. Herk's show.
He further states that six years ago
when 1t fell to his lot to organize and
stabilize burleSque, he received 1T with
its BLACK eye" sort of heritage that
had been handed down over so years.
He sees its possibilities as entertain
ment for all classes of theater- goers,
including self-respecting men and
women, and he and his associates pro-
pose, while fundamentally retaining 1t
as it is, to augment and strengthen the
casts of the shows and to embellish
and extend their sartorial equipment
besides introducing new and strictly
up-to-date comedy scenes and dialogue.

asserts, from those employed in all
other present-day, accepted high class

Close-ups Face Change

The first closeup was made on April

Orange, N. j. 1t showed Fred OFT, a
workman in Edison's laboratories, in
the act of sneeZing.
From that day to this the closeup has
been important In motion pictures. The
change in the closeup, which has been
predicted by outstanding persons in the
picture world, will be, caused by q wide
angle lens, it is believed. This will
enable large groups to be Included in
the close shots.
In the past one face has monopolized
most close-ups. That started with Otis
sneeze, SO years ago. Two heads
have often shared honors In the close
shots, particularly in the embracing
fade-outs, but the groups have had to
content themselves with longer-range
views. The old system Of filling the
screen with the stars face in cloSe-ups
has already largely passed, 1t is said
The new tendency is also evident in
the bringing of inanimate objects into
cIose-ups. A sliding panel with two
eyes peering through, a Chinese mask
hanging on wall, revolver, q hand
reaching out from behind a curtain, q
wall clock, and an empty chair are
among the objects filmed at close range

Capital of these United States, has an
established reputation as one of the
best stock cities in America
There are many obstacles to combat
in the enterprise, it Is true. Manager
Steve Cochran recently encountered
some of them. But nevertheless, with
a sound supporting clientele first
securely assured, these obstacles, can
be taken up one by one and safely and
effectively disposed of.
In every circle of social life In Wash
ington there Is abundant evidence of
keen, jealous interest in the perpetual
ton of what for want of better name
may be called the stage of living, speak
ing actors. The experience OF the local
dramatic clubs in all quarters of the
District, as well as the evidence af-
forded by the patronage of our now
defunct professional stock company, is
the soundest proof that the public has
/ a like interest, but from the angle
Of entertainment pure and simple.
Who is there among us who will .har-
ness this interest and turn 1t to the
realization of the hope for the Ameri-
can theater so clearly set forth by Mr..
Stuart Walker?
