The best thing yet discovered

Cascarets are pleasing to the

The death knell of the giant
battleship likely will be sounded at
the five-power naval conference
shortly to meet at London.
That is to say, the conference
powers may start a progressive
scaling down process in the size of
capital ships, as now defined, with
the result that eventually-even
soon-they will vanish from the
seas.
Fleet strength, 1t Is observed. is
entirely relative All things being
equal, and given parity as to size
and number, school Of minnows
would have identically the same
chance Of success in a battle with
another school of minnowS, as a
school of whales would have against
another school of whales.
The important thing, it Is pointed
out, is balance. If this is main
tanned. the navies of the world may
be composed of whatever size ships
that mutually may be agreed upon
and. however small, they will re-
main relatively as strong as ever.
Tonnage Is Limited
This principle, in fact, already has
found recognition among the five
leading sea powers that will meet
in London to discuss naval limita-
ton early next year.
At the time of the Washington
conference of 1921, the United
States was building fifteen capital
ships, totaling $4,000 tons. These
stupendous ships, when completed,
would have averaged 1920 tons
each, or exactly the size of Britain's
biggest dreadnaught, the Hood.
At the conference, however, Amer
lea, Britain, Japan, France and
Italy agreed that henceforth no
ship Of war should exceed $4,000
tons or carry guns larger than six
teen inches. Here, then, was an
initial reduction amounting to 5000
tons a ship.
Today the same five powers are
facing huge replacement programs.
Between 1881 and 1912 the United
States and Great Britain-to men
ton only the two leading powers
will have to build fifteen new bat
tleShipS to replace those now in
service and which, one by one, must
be retired on account OF age.
The question naturally arises,
shall these new ships be $4,000 ton
nerS, or shall they be scaled down
still farther in size and so save all
ROnRnrTNnH n 1nf Of
ing parley is expected to deal with
this question and the belief is that
the answer will be smaller battle
ships.
Cost Many Millions
The British Washington treat
ships the Rodney and the Nielsen
cost British taxpayers about $50.
100000 apiece. Fifteen would cos5
them 1925, 900.
In the United States, owing 70
higher wages and higher cost O.
material, similar vessels now would
set American taxpayers back ap-
proximateiy $50O0O,OOO apiece, or
$3.50, 100000 for the fifteen.
By reducing the size of these ships
70, say 10000 or $4,000 tons each
many millions of dollars might be
saved-enough to pay for the great
Mississippi basin waterways project,
now under way, with some to spare.
This. says President Hoover, is a
perfect illustration of how swords
can be converted into plowshares.
But there are other factors also to
be considered. Many advanced
thinkers in naval circles are be-
ginning to doubt the worth of exist
ing battlesh:pS in modern warfare.

1t is to be regretted that the
Mendelssohn choir finds it neces-
sary to suspend it's concerts for a
year for any reason whatsoever.
indianapolis needs this splendid
singing organization for many rea-
sons I understand that the choir
went in debt last season. This city
can take pride in that fact There
should be enough box Office support
that neither the singers or the man.
agement should have worry over
the story of the box Office.
President Franklin has issued the
following statement:
In order to correct erroneous impress
sions that have become more or less cur
rent regarding the activities of the Men
dessohn choir this season. the following
official statement is made:
Elmer Andrew Steffen, after five years
of service to the people of indianapolis
which stands out as unique in its value
and devotion to the civic and musical
progress of the city, has asked for and
has been extended. as matter of cour-
teSy. leave of absence for one year as
conductor. Mr.. Steffen will resume his
leadership of the choir in September. 1880
After studying the situation. with re-
gard to the prospect of successfully
carrying on the concerts of the choir this
season, without Mr.. Stefen, the board of
directors decided to suspend the presenta-
ton of the 1929-3O program. but to re-
sumo in September. season of 193o-3l.
with the same artists as had heen an

The board of directors is not unmind-
full of the disappointment that this an
nouncement will give the many sup
porters of the choir. but it is believed
that plans now underway for an improved
choir and more adequate financial sup
port will effect results we'll worth the
loss of the enjoyment of the present sea-

Salute to
Head Bill
at Lyric
George 0'Brien Plays the
Lead in This
Movie.

a N intimate glimpse of life at
L a the United States Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis, as lived by the
1900 young Americans in training
there, is given in "Saluate," all talk
ing West Point Annapolis football
romance which comes to the Lyric
theater for one week starting today.
George O'Brien, William Janney,
Helen Chandler, Joyce Compton,
Frank Albertson and Stepin Fetchit,
colored comedian, are prominent in
a large cast of players.
Plebes taking oath of allegiance
to the United States; their living
quarters, mess hall, drills and foot
ball practices; their departure on an
annual cruise, a prom, a seventy
piece band and the annual Army
Navy game are all part of Salute"
More than 900 midshipmen took
part in the parade scenes filmed by
director John Ford during the six
weeks he and his company of fifty
from Hollywood spent in Annapolis.
AS many more participated in the
scenes showing the departure of the
Navy football team to New York.
The story of Salute" revolves
around the love of two brothers for
the same girl. The older brother, a
domineering, all-American half
back on the West Point team, and
the younger brother, a substitute
end for the Navy.
The stage show includes four
Keith vaudeville attractions. Among
them are found the former musical
comedy star, Joe Niemeyer, and
company of five presenting a minia-
ture musical comedy revue called
Samples" For years Mr.. Niemeyer
was in George White productions
and among those CT George M.
Cohans in which he figured promi-
nently as a comedian are Little
Nelly Kelly" THE OBrien Girl"
and MARY" His most recent
Broadway show was THE Golden
Girl"
Old-fashioned stuff that would
cheer the heart of Henry Ford will
be offered by Paw" Crockett and
his six sons who are another stellar
feature of the stage show. They
came straight to vaudeville from
the wild hill country of Kentucky,
and dance and sing their native
songs.
They play their violins, guitars
and banjos that have added to the
riotous hilarity of many a moon
shine party in their own back
woods. They have been on the road
few months and they are stopping
shows wherever they go.
Bob Hall, an extemporaneous
chap with a wealth of original
songs and stories, will be on The bill.

struction, with the result that
Pleasure Bound" has p-o5pered
enormously in New York and Chi
cago as the funniest OF girl shows.
As to the scenic establishment,
the lavish hand Of TIE Shuberts is
again in evidence, providing. at all
times, during the two acts and
twelve gorgeous scenes, a back
ground of dazzling beauty. Stun
ming and handsome costumes com
plete the riot of color that greets
the eye from every conceivable
angle.
Other prominent members Of the
large cast include RCsita Moreno,

Hoyer, Ralph Locke, jamie Adams,
Harold Crane, Al weber. VIII Eon-

Overlapping the ensemble is the
dashing Jack Donahue-JOhn Boyle
girls. whose fast and graceful step
ping have made them the star
dancing unit of the year.
Muriel Pollock is credited with the
music for this attraction; Harold

Nathaniel Lief and Atteridge, the
lyrics; Watson Barratt, the settings,
and Busby Berkeley, the dances.

STRANGE INTERLUDE"
RETURNS TO ENGLISH'S

No play of recent years ever
aroused so much preliminary specu-
lation of subsequent discussion as
has Eugene O'NeillS sensational
nine-act drama, Strange Inter
lude," about to return for three
days, commencing Thursday, Nov. 7,
to English's.
Rumors of its odd method OF
"asides" and it's extraordinary
length. which requires an attend
ance at the theater from $50 to II
O'Clock, with just brief respite for
dinner, contributed no less than did
the fame of the author and the
established reputation of the pro-
ducerS, the New York Theatre
Guild, to render the plays engage
ment here last spring the oustand-
ing theatrical event of the season.
In the phenomenal success that
Strange Interlude" achieved in
New York as we'll as all over the
country wherever it has been pre-
sented, O'Neill clearly has justified
his taking an unusual amount of
his audiences time. He also has
vindicated his decided departure
from the ordinary conventions of
playwrighting.
In way no play has the right
to consist of nine long acts. in which
the dialogue is freely interSpersed
with speeches representing the I'M
spoken thoughts of the characters. to
be written, that is to say, as no play
has ever been written before, unless
it justif1es the liberties it takes by
giving audiences something in re-
turn that no other play ever gave
before.
Strange Interlude" even survives
this severe test. Like a great novel
1t not only holds ones faculties at
the time of becoming acquainted
with it. but it's highlights continue
to recur in the memory and to tease
the mind that new discoveries will
be made of its depth and power and
beauty as time passes. Mr.. ONeiu,
therefore, is deserving both of praise
and prosperity for having ventured
upon a new and uncharted sea in
play construction.
Only three performances of
Strange Interlude" will be given
at the English on this return en-
gagement.
