Philadelphia, April 11.-"Fly," as handsome and sturdy q shepherd as ever was trained for police service, is entering upon her seventh year as life termer' in the Eastern State Penitentiary here,
 Whereas she could easily be a prize winner at the swanky dog shows of the land surrounded by silver cups and Iold buttons, as her -blooded mother was before her, Fly's surroundings are the grim lines Of cells and her friends are the men she might have been trained to hunt.

 Hers, however. is the self-im- posed sentence of loyalty. and until' Convict No. 1911, now serving q life term for manslaughter. walks from the prison doors, Fly will be content to spend her nights in a kennel at the end of a dingy, barred corridor, and her days at the side of her mas ter, who was once known to the world as Martin Fleming, Sixteen years ago Fleming, a restaurant Keeper Of Harrisburg, dropped that name for number following a crime growing out of a heated quar- rel.
 Already the tenderness towards this dog-and others--displaycd by tho prisoner, has attracted the at tcntion Of officials. and one day it may play part in his release, In the immediate affairs of the prison this kinshin with dogs has set him apart, Certain strict regulations have been made d bit elastic, and so he has seldom been without canine ccll-natc.

Art Institute

The art institute is showing dur
ing May an interesting collection
of prints pertaining to the theater.
They have been sent by the The
alter Arts Magazine and include de-
signs for costumes and stage sets,
portraits of actors, caricatures and
illustrations for old ballads and
broadsides.
Among the most famous of the
etchers and engravers represented
are the great French realist, Cabot,
who was producing his biting and
sardonic art in the first part Of the
seventeenth century, and the great
English satirists, Rowlandson and
Cruickshank, who worked 200 years
later in England.
A group of photographs Of mod
ern stage productions is also shown.
Gordon Craig, Robert Edmund
Jones, Lee Simonson and many
other well-known stage designers
of both this country and abroad
are represented.
In connection with these prints
and photographs from the Theater
Arts Magazine several miniature
stage sets made under the direction
of Oakley Richey, instructor of in
terror decoration and stage design
in the art school, are shown.

before it would kick the bucket and others
lit out for the movies. but believe they
will soon all be coming back 1t is in
their blood They can see that since the
first of the year we have had more dra-
matte and musical hits than expected.
Business is picking up
With lively publicity and the right sort
OF showmanship, these hits will get their
runs in Chicago and other key cities as
they did before the talkies were heard of.
1t is good sign when out-of-town centers
are starting movements to guarantee
theater audiences. ANY first class city
considers it knock to be without a legiti-
mate theater.
Womens clubs are uniting with civic So
cieties to support good plays and it is up
to the producers to organize and play the
game.
II told THE Quill in my previous ar
ticle that managers with worthwhile at
fractions could secure support on the road,
1t may require more craftsmanship than
formerly. but the past year has been
profitable experience for good shows when
they put up a fight for their share of
the business.
I make no claim to superior Judgment,
but we have more successes in New York
than usual for this season of the year and
it means something. Dramatic writers
over the country are more hopeful and
giving more encouragement to the legiti-
mate theater.
owing to labor troubles, the crash in the
stock market and naturally more unem-
ployment. the show business in some cities
has been spotty but that is all the more
reason for putting more effort into our
exploitation.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-05-10

Harris is in a position to know
that many good shows have failed
to draw people into the theater be-
cause the show was not properly
exploited.
Read what Harris has to say in
part in ''The Quill:
With all due respect to Bernard Shaw
the legitimate theater is not going to be
washed up or killed by talking pictures.
We have had time to think it over since
the novelty of talkies gave managers
pain in the neck. We find the movies arc
still long way from giving satisfactory
performances of the spoken drama. 1 be-
lieve that every patron of the talkies will
become a potential theatergoer if pro-
ducers will select good plays and take steps
to combat the competition.
still insist, as I did nearly year ago
in "The Quill" and as other producing
managers have said. that we cannot ex-
poet the show business to come back of it
self. Wiping out the specs" will help
the theater in New York. but we would be
foolish to stop with that. For my part,
let us get back to first principles in ad-
vertising our shows. Put more effort be-
hind the Job of selling the goods.
I am dead serious about this Person
ally. I feel that managers should be sure
they are placing our best men in adj
vance of the shows-resourceful agents who
know showmanship-and let them use the
well-tried circus methods which never
failed US in the old days.
We can do with more shoWmanship.
Economics of the theater prohibit us from
using the expensive advertising displays
taken by the films
still say we are spending everything
on productions and letting the shows sell
themselves. 1t is against every sound
business axiom. I have read the press
agents paper and note your complaints
about no sales organization for show bust
ness There is too much truth in what
you say.
When we get the spectators cleaned up
something must be done toward an or
ganization to bring back the road.
year ago some Of our managers started
to lay off their productions. Some gave
the legitimate theater only three years

Sunday School Lesson

populace acclaiming Him as king
came so near to the scenes of His
triumphant sacrifice. 1t helps us at
least to grasp the real nature of His
greatness and His kingShip. Had we
been in Jerusalem at that time We
might have been impressed with
this journey from Bethphage and
the Mount of Olives into the city.
That spectacle might have loomed
so large in our eyes that the sue
ceeding events in GethSemane and
Calvary might easily have been OBJ
Scured or we might have regarded
these events as a serious anti
climax.
But looking now from the stand
point of all that has happened in
the world since that day, the great
ness of the influence that Jesus has
spread and the depth and power OF
that influence in many lives, we are
able to see that that triumphal en-
trance into Jerusalem had its sig
nificance inNthe spiritual events that
we're bringing Christ to Jerusalem
The triumphal entrance was on the
last stage of His earthly life when
His kingdom and His power were to
be revealed in the completeness of
His sacrifice and in the sublime cour-
age of His. endurance on the cross.
The Inner Triumph
Three centuries later a military
commander on the eve of a great
battle was reported by tradition to
have seen a cross in the sky with
the legend, In hos signo vince, "
in this sign conquer. 1t was tradi-
tionaIly in obedience to that sign
followed by victory that Constantine
established Christianity as the re-
ligion of the Roman empire.
1t was the outward triumph of
Jesus over the power that crucif1eo
Him; but that outward triumph was
as nothing to the inner triumph of
Jesus as a spiritual king. The
cross became the throne and the
crown of thornS the symbol Of the
eternal power of the sacrificial
Christ. It is of that realm Of love
and sacrifice that Jesus is king, and
those who would be his true sub
jects must realize the nature OF the
kingdom to which He calls them and
of the privileges that He beStowS
upon them.

Will
Sing Here
Monday
Claire Dux to Be SoIoiSt
With MaennerChor in
Concert.

THE Indianapolis Maennerchor
4 will give another program next
Monday with Claire Dux, soprano,
as the guest artist, at the Academy
of Music.
In the past few years, Claire Dux
had practically given up her pro-
fessional career, emerging only to
sing on one or two gala musical &C.
casions.
For next season, however, the
soprano has reconsidered her deci-
sion and will devote six weeks to
the public which has constantly
clamored for her return. Half of
this time is already pledged to con-
cert on the Pacific coast.
Few artists succeeded in impress
sing the American public from so
many points of view as did Claire
Dux, who established herself here
as well as abroad as one of the
great international perSonnages in
the operate and concert fields.
Miss Dux was born on Polish ter
ritory, and her ancestry represents
several nationalitieS. Both of her
parents were musical, her mother
being related to the famous Clara
Schumann, wife of the great COM
poser.
Miss Dux began to sing as a child,
and after few years of study made
her operate debut IN Germany,
after which she was leading So
prano with almost all of the great
opera houses of the world. She
sang leading roles at La Scala, in
Milan, and made her debut at the
Royal Opera, in Berlin, with Enrico
CaruSo, singing Mimi to his Ro-
dolfo.
On this occasion Caruso stepped
out of his role to lead the ap-
plause for the younger singer after
her aria in the first act-an I'M
usual tribute even for the big
hearted tenor, and one which helped
to establish Miss Dux as a reign
ing favorite.
Subsequently Miss Dux sang at
Covent Garden, London, where she
won the admiration of no less than
Dame Nellie Melba, who wrote her q
letter of praise and said that in
hearing Miss Dux she had had her
first singing lesson"
Prior to her first American visit,
Miss Dux sang at the Royal Operas
in Stockholm and Copenhagen,
where she proved again that she
hadsonly to sing for an audience to
win it.
Miss Dux's triumphs here with
the Chicago Civic Opera Company
were equaled by her success in re-
cital and she proved herself supreme
in her various American tours.

Editor Of The COngregationalist


TINE late Edward Everett Hale
Il once suggested that one who
had not been born in a democracy
could not quite understand the New
Testament conception of the King
dom of God. One thing is certain:
when we speak of that Kingdom
and when we speak of Jesus as
king, there is a great difference be-
tween the heavenly ideal of the
kingdom and kingship and the
earthly ideal.
The earthly ideal is one of pres
Authority. Yet Jesus emphasized
i'm all His authority meekneSs and
1lowlineSs. instead of asserting His
right to the service of others He
pointed the way of service He said
. His disciples: L am among you
one that serveth." He declared
at the one who would serve would
the greatest of all, and upon one
asion He even took a basin of
er and washed the disciples feet
He might give them an ex-
a. lie in lowly and mental service
His True Authority
We could hardly conceive of
things of that sort being done by
an earthly kind, and yet, the fact is
that the more we consider the life
of Jesus and His teachings, the
more we are convinced of the
propriety and Brightness of calling
Him a king. He is a king-a king
of power and a king of authority,
because it was in these very I'M
kingly factors. or at least unkingly
from an earthly standpoint, that He
asserts His true authority and His
right to command the souls of men.
He would not dominate us with His
power, but he would rule us with His
love and truth.
That Jesus might have been an
earthly king. exercising much the
same sort of power that other earth
" kings have welded, seems appar-
ent from our lesson and from its
associated passages. The people
were ready to acclaim Him, the
situation was favorable for one who
with earthly ambition and military
aggresSiveneSs would dare to rouse
the people against their Roman con-
querorS.
Perhaps the temptation to lead
such a movement of revolt and set
himself up as an earthly ruler with
the acclaim and support of the peo-
pie was what underlay the tempta-
ton in which Jesus was shown all
the kingdoms OF the world and was
assured that all these might be His
if He would worship the power of
evil. That temptation found its
meaning in what was going on
within His own Soul-the tempta-
ton TO turn from the way of spirit
ual duty and spiritual triumph to
the immediate and more tangible
power of an earthly Scepter.
1t is significant that this tri-
umphal procession of Jesus with the

H oils girl who has acquired con-
siderable fame as a parachute leap
err, will ascend with the big balloon
at Riverside amusement park Sun
day and will attempt three consecu-
tive parachute jumps after cutting
loose from the hot air bag.
If she is successful, she will have
equaled the feat performed at Riv-

Quite a bit of professional rivalry
has arisen between the two local
girl jumpers, and it is likely that
before the summer is far advanced
some rather unique challenges will
be hurled back and forth between
these two feminine aerial stunt per-
formers. Miss Pritchett has had
several years experience at the
hazardous business Of riSking her
neck in the skies and is generally
looked on as without a rival in her
profession. Miss Starkey, with far
less experience in the air to her
credit, is ambitious to rise" in the
balloon world, and has declared she
will equal any mark set by Miss
Pritchett.
