records of scripture or to ancient
times. Not long ago 1 read of a
mother in an humble home In little
hamlet of Scotland who back in
the middle of last century was rear
ing seven sons. Every one of these
became a man of eminence and use
fulneSS in the world, and every one
of them traced the determining in
f1uence of his life to this godly and
devoted mother.
Nor are these influences always
the influences of the mother, or of
the mother alone. Sometimes the
ideals and influences of the father
become the determining factor IN
the lives of the children, especially
where the mother shares these
ideals and influences. There is a
striking illustration of this in the
family of DR.. Graham Taylor,
founder of the Chicago Commons,
and for many years associated with
the work of that settlement.
DR.. Taylor has recently written
his autobiography under the title
Pioneering on Social Frontiers"
This autobiography he dedicates to
his comrades and colleagues and to
the members of his family each
"one of whom" he says, has con-
tributed to and shared in life's
whole endeavor."
I have never known the family
of Graham Taylor, but some years
ago I came across an interesting
fact to which this dedication gives
added significance. 1 was told that
when DR.. Taylor's family was grow
ing up around him some of his
friends said to him that it was all
right for him to live in this social
settlement and do his work there
in an undesirable neighborhood, but
that he ought not to be bringing up
his family under these conditions
but ought to be seeking for them
more attractive and favorable sur
roundings.
But DR.. Taylor brought up his
family in the environment o. his
own ideals. He inculcated in his
children his own outlook of love
and service, and have been told
that every member of that family
turned out in every way creditable
to the father who loved and trusted
his children and guided them in
his own footsteps.
Records like that have their place
alongside the story of Hannah and
Samuel in that larger bible that is
always being written in the expert
ence Of those who seek the way Of
God.

vile stage, steps out as full
fledged talking picture star in Rain

Of the major cities of the country.
Cook has tYaversed long and
difficult trail since his first theat-
rical appearance. He has run the
gauntlet of tent shows, rep" shows,
circuses and small time vaudeville.
A number of years ago he reached
the two a day." the goal of all va
riety performers, where he rose to
stardom with his lone man show
and his imitation of four Hawaiians.
1t was not long before the revue

yading the ranks of vaudeville in
search of talent, discovered him and
the so-called Legitimate" stage
claimed him until Columbia induced
him to play the lead in the film
version of Rain or Shine"

perfected the stunt and has used
it many times since.

Riverside
Cuts Fees
on Rides
Amusement Park Plans a
Program Filled With
Big Events.

ID IVERSIDE amusement park
N recently adopted policy Of cut
ting the price of its rides and other
fun devices to cents each after
noon except Sunday has met With
a great response from local park
patrons, who are showing their ap~
probation Of the low tariff by taxi
ing advantage OF the bargain mati-
nee in crowds unparalleled in the
last few seasons.
Mothers especially seem TO be
thankful for the opportunity offered
and are bringing their fiockS out Tor
an afternoon of thrills and fun at
an expense in keeping with the
times.
The fact that there is never an
admission charged at the Riyerside
gates makes this an exceptionally
attractive move on the part of the
park management.
Rides which ordinarily cost paS
irons 10 and Is cents may be enc
joyed each week day afternoon for
the new reduced rate, and whole
neighborhoods are packing the old
lunch basket and journeying out to
the big shady fun resort on West
Thirtieth street for a big afternoon
at little expense.
Old Man White River affords q
beautiful stretch of delightful nd
cooling boat rides at Riverside, and
canoes may be rented at the park
canoe club at any time.
Miniature golf links, the new
pony track and the big children'S
playground help while away the
time between nerve-tingling rides on
the monster coaster and other
thrilling devices, while roller skat~
ing in the states largest and most
beautiful rink, Skeeball, archery
and scores of other diversions await
Riverside visitors.
The vast auto parking spaces
are under the supervision of trained
traffic officers, and the free check
ing service will relieve you of worry
over lunch baskets or other parcels.
Tonight the regular weekly free
amateur boxing and wrestling en-
tertainment will be presented on the
elevated stage in the center of the
park, and number of ambitious
glove tossers and mat performers
have been lined up to provide the
evenings sport.
Monday night one of the premier
sports events of the year will occur
in the big postless Riverside arena.
when Jack Reynolds, worlds CHAINS
pion welterweight wrestler, comes
here to meet Hugh Webb, instructor
of wrestling at the local Y. M. G. Az
The title holder is one of the most
popular graphing artists ever to-
show his wares in Indianapolis, and
it goes without saying that standing
room will be at a premium when
he climbs through the ropes for his
battle with Webb, who has piled up
a record of eleven straight victories
here since the last of May.
On next Friday night, Onie
Gahimer, smuggling lightweight of
Shelbyville, Ind, comes to Riverside
sports arena to tackle Kid Wright
of Richmond, Ind, another hard
punching, pleasing fighter.

York
Starts a
Campaign
Patrons Are Urged to Buy
Tickets at the Right
Places.

TIME movement to curb theater
L ticket speculation in New York
begun last December by group OF
managers and subsequently devel-
oped by a committee consisting Of
Arthur Hopkins, Gilbert Miller and
Brock Pemberton, will come to a
climax today when the machinery
set up for the purpose will be set IN
operation.
AS the plan begins to operate the
following statement about it is
issued by the League of New York
theaters, the organization to which
fifty theaters have subscribed and
which will be responsible for the
operation Of the plan:
1.-THE League of New York Thea
tiers functions today. 1t is volun-
tary, earnest, cooperative effort on
the part of certain theaters and
managers to make theater- going
pleasant and to make tickets for
these theaters easily available to
their prospective patrons.
"All tickets for theaters belonging
to the league will be available either
at the boxof1ce, or, for those patrons
who desire to use the services fur
nished by brokers, at certain brokers
designated by the league as 'accred-
tied brokers'.
"These accredited brokers have
pledged themselves to charge not
more than rs cents per ticket for
such services as they render.
IF patrons desire to help these
theaters establish and maintain
these conditions they should Sc
cure their seats only through these
two sources, should resist and re-
port to the league any attempt at
higher charges, and should bear
in mind that while there are only
so many seats in each theater, these
seats are available night after
night, and while it may not be pos
sible on short notice to get the ex-
act seats they want for certain
night, these seats will be available
ON the following nights, and by
planning a little ahead they can
always be served as they like. The
league asks the cooperation of
theater patrons in these matters,
and pledges its earnest efforts to
make theater-going the pleasure it
should be-"
The statement was signed by H.
D. Savage, executive secretary of
the league. The Importance of the
event to visitors to New York is
that hereafter they can purchase
good seats at the box Office or, if
they care to avail themselves of "a
brokers' service, they need not pay
a premium in excess of rs cents a
ticket. Much of the success of the
venture will depend upon the sup
port given it by the travelling pub
lie.

TalkieS
Due for
Changes
Carl LaemmIe Jr. Has His
Idea of Treating the
DiaIog.

1.-TWO years of experimentation
Il have proved to motion picture
producers that the future technique
of screen plays must be more even
division of former screen panto-
mimic art and a more modest use
of dialog, Carl Laemnlle Jr., general
manager of Universal City, believes.
1.-THE novelty of mere dialog has
passed." Laemmle states, land now
that talking and sound pictures
have become standard screen
product producers can call upon
their past experience to great adj
vantage in developing what may ap-
propriately be termed new screen
technique
TOO many talking pictures have
relied solely upon dialog to put
over necessary business and dra-
matte punches in their plots. In
silent films dramatic force and en-
phasis came from pantomime alone.
ut is my opinion that in the flu
ture we should develop as much Of
the drama as possible in panto-
mime Gas we used to do in silent
film days. and use the dialog and
sound to give emphasis to the high
lights of the production rather than
make scenes one continuous barrage
of speaking Or music.
A New Tempo
"a new tempo in dramatic action
and comedy will be conceived when
screen producers master the art of
spacing and dove-tailing panto-
mimic action and vocal action.
In Outside the Law a crook
play which Tod Browning is now
directing for Universal, we have en-
ployed less dialogue than in any
talking picture we have made to
date says MI. Laemmle, building
our big dramatic punches mostly in
pantomime and topping them with
spoken words.
1.-The result is startling. The
pantomime proves a fine builder of
suspense and the dialog enhances
the climax. Chattering dialog
pictures have passed from vogue.
"a careful combination of stage
and screen technique will make for
a permanent standard in audible
picture making"
Story Is Changed
"The Little Accident" though
very meaty example of excellent
stage dialog, was materially modi-
fed for the screen.
Universal editorial writers are
checking new dialog scripS as
newspaper editor corTects reporter
ial stories.
Superf1uous dialog will be taboo
and only situations which demand
dialog to heighten the realism
and drama of the action will be
retained.

Crowds Go
to p ark
for Fun
Broad Ripple With Its Pool
Attracts Large Number
of Visitors.

THE coming week at Broad Rip
4 pie park gives promise of being
the banner week of the season in
the way Of out-of-town attendance
This seasons bookings for fra
ternal sand business organization
gatherings has SO far eclipsed any
season in the history of the amuse-
ment park, with the bulk of the
outstate picnic business yet to come
before. the park season closes.
Just now during the heated spell
the big swimming pool at the park
is taking care of thousands each
day and evening. The Z modern
swimming facilities in the shape OF
the new bath house where there are
several thousand individual steel
lockers for the use of patrons,
modern showers, hair dryers and
many other items that are installed
for the convenience of patrons set
this great swimming plant on a
plane unequaled by none in the
country, and more especially in the
middel west.
That the management has builded
far in advance of the times is evil
denced by the fact that this swim
ming plant can care for many more
than are availing themselves of its
facilities and then not have the ca
pacity taxed to the limit.
Modern engineering has accom-
plished this in installing water
filtration plant equal to and beyond
the demands made on it.
Originally the water for the pool
was taken from White river, but
this method was discarded as en-
tirely obsolete and insanitary. At
this time all the water in the pool
is taken from deep driven wells, dis
titled, filtered and thoroughly puri-
fed by being sent through gi-
gantic filtration system, fresh water
being added automatically at stated
periods as the need presents itself
and frequent tests are made each
day during the opening hours of
the pool.
Not only is this sterilizing process
used in making the water in the
pool palatable enough to drink, but
the process is carried farther in that
all park swimming suits and towels
go through a process of similar ma
ture.
The park management is looking
forward to a big Sunday crowd and
every amusement device will be
made ready for the weekend visi-
tors. Seemingly nothing has been
overlooked this season to please the
park goers, miniature golf, pony
rides for the kiddieS, new fun rides
and the old standbys go to make up
a long list of mechanical amuse-
ments where fun and thrill may
be had for those so inclined.
On Monday nights free wrestling
shows are staged and Thursday
nights those who go in for boxing
exhibitions may get their entertain
ment without entrance fee. Free
skating and free dancing are others
of the park amusementS which are
popular,
