Cincinnati papers have published
statements to the effect that the
openings there at the Grand, Shu-
bert and Cox theaters have been
ordered delayed because of labor
conditions, as contracts have not
been signed by the musicians, stage
hands and the like.
Nelson Trowbridge, manager OF
the Shubert houses in Cincinnati,
has made a published statement
that his season will be delayed and
that some prominent attractions will
be Cancelled if conditions are not
adjusted at once.
Just what the condition Is in In
dianapolis, I do not know because
Miller has made no statement.
Have received the following let
ter from Mrs. William Herman, IL
North Parker avenue:
"I read your reviews and criticisms
of the current picture attractions
each week with q great deal of in
terest. I always compare my eSti-
mate with yours. Many times
agree with you and sometimes
don't.
But I believe you tell what you
really think about them, whether
it is complimentary to the picture
Or not, and that is as it should be
st am curious to know what you
think of the idea of dressing up ar
old silent picture in modern talkie
style and trying to put it over on ui
as a new picture.

that I refer to Hard to Get

before, but it is the same picture

characters may have been different
but the conversation was the same
even to the eye chatter.
Don't you think it is too BAG
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-08-24

that the picture companies are so
hard up for ideas that they have
to resort to a trick like this?
"Who wants to see the same pic
ture twice unless it's unusually
good one, and goodness knows there
are too few of those.
"T really would like to know your
opinion of this in The Times. if
possible. Yours for honest criticism"
This letter of Mrs, Herman is
typical of many that I have re-
ceived, especially since the showings
of Buddy Rogers in 1.-THE River OF
Romance" which was magnolia on
the stage, and had the title of "The
Fighting Coward" in a silent version.
1t is a serious question and
always state the history of the
story when it has been done under
other titles.
And yet, I have had numerous
people come to my desk and tell me
that they hope that certain silent
pictures will be made into takers
And so we have two sides of the
question. I know that my list of
the ten best pictures ever made does
not change so much by the passing
Of years. I. know that 1.-THE Birth
of a Nation" still tops my list, and
it has done so ever since it was
produced. And I have no desire to
see this one as a talker under any
title.
To some this repetition thing is
q bore and an evil and to others it
is q welcomed pleasure.
My opinion is the same as Mrs
Herman's.

JUGOSLAWAN KING
ENDS OLD REGIME
Alexander Virtually Becomes
Dictator With Suspension of
Constitution and Cabinet.


BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, January T.
King Alexander was virtually dictator
of Jugoslavia today, having suspended
the constitution and named a nom
party cabinet. He formed non-par-
liamentary government of military
stamp after a futile attempt to recon-
cile strong party and racial antagonisms
with which the parliamentary regime
has been split since last June.
He announced that all laws would re-
main in force until suspended by de-
cree. New laws would be made by de-
cree The royal order did away with
the constitution which the turbulent
kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slow
eneS has adhered to since June %, 1921.
Gen. Eeter Zivkovitch was named
premier .9hd took the interior portfolio
as being the minister responsible for
the administration of law and order
under the extraordinary regime.
The action of the King created
sensation, but it was announced no dis
turbances occurred.
Croatians Are JubiIant.
Although denied their demands for
eelf-government, CroatianS were jubilant
over the suppression of the Parliament,
where three of their members were
murdered Three members of the
Croatian party, which withdrew from
the national Parliament after the shoot
ing of several of its leaders, were APP
pointed to the new cabinet.
It was promised that the new re-
gime would safeguard the unity of the
state bv guaranteeing equal treatment
and equitable rights to all citizens. 1t
was stated that it would prepare the
ground for new institutions and new
ministerial organization, to pave the way
for a truly constitutional and healthy
parliamentary government.
Public demonstrations were held in
Zagreb stronghold of the Croats, and
Alexander was lauded for his courage |
and independence.
1t was senai-officially stated that the |
patience of the King had been ex-
hausted by years OF parliamentary
pickering
Under the newly proclaimed law the |
King is invested with full legislative |
and executive powers. This law lays |
down that the kingdom is hereditary |
monarchy in which the King Is the |
holder of all authority.
Local Bodies Dissolved.
All local governing bodies will be |
dissolved and the district governors Will |
nominate councils to carry on the work |
of the municipalities. An exception
was made in the cases of Belgrade, |
Zagreb and Lubliana, where councils |
viii be appointed by the King on the |
advice Of the minister of interior. The |
work of the district Parliaments VIII |
be carried on by commissioners ap- |
pointed by the governors.
One of the new ordinances changed |
and supplemented the present press |
law. sharply curtailing the liberty OF |
political expression.
Father Anton Koroshetz, whose gov
eminent resigned last Wednesday, after |
q struggle of six months, was appointed |
minister of communications.

mitted she has made UP her mind
to say "yes" to Prince Mdivani, the
husband OF Pola Negri. who Is on
the point Of being divorced from

there are two conditions attached
to Mary's 'fyes." They are:
]. That. the prince drop his title.
2. That he insert a dividing letter
between the consonants forming the
first two letters of his name.
The prince has yet to make
known his intentions regarding
these, conditions, but Mary talks so
positively about the future that her
friends believe he has really sur
rendered.
II am Lone Star girl and that
does not fit very well with Euro

live In Texas and my husband must
lead regular American life.
