MUSIC SPACE LACKING,
/ u. S. BUILDERS ARE TOLD
Architects Are Asked to Consider
Providing Place for Instru-
ments in Homes.

The National Association Of Music
Merchants has told the American In
stitute of Architects that "in recent
years small homes and apartments had
been designed by architects in such
manner that space is lacking in which
to place musical Instruments, such as
an upright or grand piano, or even
q console photograph or radio re-
ceiving set"
The music association requested that
the institute urge its members to give
thoughtful consideration to the prob
lem. Replying the Executive Committee
Of the institute expressed the opinion
that most thoughtful architects do pro-
vide such space in their designs, and
that it was unnecessary 10 bring the
matter to the attention OF the archi-
tectural profession.

HOME OWNERS
HELP REALTORS
Property Holders Join in
Movement for Fairer
Taxation.

Owners of property throughout the
country are enlisting in the national
movement for organization of property
owners with realtors in order that the
two groups may work together in the
demand for "fairer taxes for real es-
tate"
To date some 36 local real estate
boards have established property own
ers' divisions with definite programs of
action designed to give the owner Of
property relief from the present IN
equitable taxation on real estate. APP
proximately 10 real estate boards are
now taking preliminary steps toward
organization OF property owners di-
visions according to reports from the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
The plan Of organization recon-
nlended by the national association is
on q three-way membership basis, pro-
viding for the local representation Of
the interests of property owners through
the local real estate board, representa-
ton in State legislation through the
State Association of Real Estate Boards
and national representation through the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards. Members of the property own
erS' divisions of the real estate boards
in the following nine cities already are
afdliated with the national property
owners division: Asheville, N. c.; Mad
ison, Wis; Trenton, N. j.; Detroit and
Pontiac, Mich; Oak Park and Harvey
III; New Orleans, La, and Redwood
City, Calf.
AS the first major activity for the
national property owners division, the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, in cooperation with the Uni
versity of Chicago, is undertaking an
intensive research in the field of State
and local taxation to determine feasible
means whereby the tax burden on real
estate may be lessened.
In this enterprise the National AsSo-
citation has secured the cooperation of
the United States Building and Loan
League, the National Association of
Building Owners and Managers and the
Mortgage Bankers Association of
America. The four following questions
form the main outline on which the re-
search Is based: Are the State income
taxes a method of relieving real estate
of some of its tax burden? Can sales
taxes be used as a method of relieving
real estate? Are constitutional and
statutory limitations on taxes and pub
lie indebtedness effective? What mis-
cellaneous city revenues can be devel-
oped to make the real estate levy more
equitable?

GUARD RESALE POINTS
Personal Touches in Home May Be
Held Freakish.

Those pleasing personal touches,
mulled over and debated by husband
and wife for years before the home is
built, add much to the joys of PLAN
ming, building and living in your own
home. Nothing warns the heart Of
the householder more than the things
that stamp his home as his own crea-
tion making 1t more than a place to
eat and sleep and hang up his hat
But sometimes houses that embody
ideas the owners think original and
highly valuable are considered freakish
and useless by other people. The pos
sibility that you may some day wish
TO sell should be kept always in mind.

today.
AS modest dressmaker on the
east side, Miss Rich resolves to rise
to fame in order that her son,
played by Raymond Hackett, shall
have all the good things in life,
which were denied her in her youth.
The one mistake she makes in
her calculations is that she can
ruthlessly drive her ambitions with
out regard to the rights of others.
This is demonstrated when her sons
sweetheart, Marion Shilling, is
caught in a snare laid by her own
hands and her son is forced to turn
against her.
H. B. Warner, is the suave,
polished f1nancier who admires the
gowns and their wearers who are
to be found in Miss Rich's salons.

Shilling are both recruits from the
speaking stage. Hackett having
last been seen in 1.-THE Trial of Mary

Somnes' identification with the
indianapolis Civic theater has been
one Of its most valuable assets. His
productions at the Playhouse have
become noted for their professional
finish, artistic merit and striking
stage mountings.
He has lifted the organization
from an amateur classification to
professional and was one of the
major reasons why the Little The
atre, as the parent organization was
known, developed into q civic thea
ter, which during the last season
provided indianapolis with eight
productions of good theater.
SomneS first came to Indianapolis
as a member of the Stuart Walker
Repertory Company in 1919, and
was retained as director of the Lit
tie Theatre during the following
winter.
His stage career, prior to that
time, was quite vared and rich be-
ginning in New York over a decade
ago.
After New York he played with a
repertory theater of Hugo and Sar-
dou in Mexico City, with Virginia
Fabregas, which was followed by a
period of melodrama, vaudeville ano
transforming in repertoire ranging
from Shakespeare to paid in Full.
He next played with William
Faversham in his Shakespearean re-
yivals for two seasons, appearing
with such sterling performers as
Frank Keenan,, Tyrone Power, Julie
Opp, Fuller NIellish, Constance Col
Iier, Cecilia Lotus, Gabriel Dorzial
and Odette Tyler.

both throughout this country and
England, has been of long standing.
After making the regular tour of
the universities and colleges with
the Greet company in 1915 he was
called to London, where Mr. Greet
was endeavoring to turn The Old
Vic" in Waterloo Road into a peo-
pies theater for the popularization
of old English comedies.
During this year, he played con-
tinuously, produced several plays,
and served in an advisory capacity
to Mr. Greet.
Returning to the United States.

the summer tour for Mr.. Greet and
assisted the Washington Square
Players in a Chicago venture. Two
