BRENT, CONRAD NAGEL IN PAGAN LADY" ALSO WHEELER AND
 WOOLSEY IN "CAUGHT
 PLASTERED" ON PROGRAM

AT STATE IhEhIEin STARTING TO-DAY Warner Brothers State theater
 has & treat in store for it's patrons to-day, tomorrow and Friday. The feature presentation Pagan Lady" is a knockout and as an extra add
 ed attraction Wheeler and Woolsey, the two clown princes of joy, ap- pear in their new panic Of mfrth l"Caught Plastered."
 Pagan Lady" is a romantic tale of bes utiful siren who fascinated men and drew them to her only to discard them like so many cards whenever new fancy struck her eye. How she finally met the one
 man she could really care for and the fight she waged in her regenra- ton is dramatic material high
 enough in caliber to warrant imme- diate success. Pagan Lady" has
 been an outstanding success both as a play, on Broadway, and as a talking screen production. Evelyn Brent is featured in the
 cast which includes such favorites as Conrad Nagel, Charles Bickford. William Farnum, Roland Young and Lucille Gleason.
 Wheeler and Woolsey in Caught
 Plastered," to be found on this same program as an extra added attrac- ttion, are funnier than ever. They
 dish out the laughs in generous
 measure. This picture has been playing to capacity houses in Hart ford the past week and it's run has beeh nothing short of sensational from a box office standpoint. Man. |ager Julia M. Smith. always think ing up new surprises for her pa- irons, has outdone herself in offer ing this hit comedy on the same program with a picture of such sterling entertainment quality as Pagan Lady"

The Fox-Pon Palace theater of- fers for the last times today, Mau- rice Chevalier in "The Smiling Lieutenant" with Claudette Col bert" Starting tomorrow a double feature program. Transatlantic" with Edmund Lowe and Pardon Us' with Laurel and Hardy.
 Anchors aweigh! Full speed ahead! Those who like their thrills and romance sprayed with the brine of the sea and favored with the luxury of deluxe ocean liner are recommended to the Fox-Poli Palace theater where the Fox drama, Transatlantic, with Ed mund Lowe and Lois Moran in the leading roles is now sailing its en- tertaining course.
 From the moment Edmund Lowe, as a suave and debonair gambler. slips aboard the S. s. Transatlantic, to escape the district attorneys graft probe until the ocean grey hound docks at its European port things begin to happen rapidly, and not only to Lowe, but to his fellow passengers who include Lois Moran as the daughter of & Ger man lens grinder, impersonated by Jean Hersholt, and an absconding banker, played by John Halliday, whose nefarious operations have cost Hersholt his life savings.
 To add to the complications Halliday is accompanied by his wife, Myrna Loy. and aboard ship is also Halliday's light O. love, a role portrayed by Greta Nissen.
 Lowe gives, what in this review CTS estimation is the best perform ance of his career while Isois Moran is as sweet and convincing as she was in any of her late pictures. Greta Nissen lends both her talent and blonde beauty to the produc- tion, while Myrna Loy shows that she is equally capable in a sympa- thetic role as she is in an exotic one.
 Jean Hersholt and John Halliday both deserve 6 great deal of credit for their splendid performances S does William K. Howard, who did an excellent job of direction.
 The co-feature will be Laurel and Hardy in their full length fea- ture Pardon Us." Fox Movietone News completes the program.

THANCE led Mohandas Karam-
~ chand Gandhi from London to
South Africa as an ambitious young
Indian lawyer in 1893, but some
thing-accident, fate or destiny;
call 1t what you will-placed him
in a position there where a new
leader of men appeared on the
horizon of history.
The fact that there was such a
thing as an Indian problem in re-
lation to the British empire and
to white men impressed itself on
him.
This was before the Boer war.
There were two British colonies,
Cape Colony and Natal; two Boer
colonies, the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State. In all Of them,
Gandhi found the Indian problem
acute.
There were some 10000 Indians
Of all classes, castles and religious
faiths in South Africa. Some were
merchants and traders, but the bulk
we're laborerS.
They were indentured; signed up
to work for g. period of years at a
certain fixed small wage. They were
not free men.
e n
X ANDHI found sort of univer-
VI sal contempt for his country
men. No matter what their class,
they were all Jumped together
under the opprobrious designation
of coolies"
Gandhi himself faced the color
question. He was compelled to
take off his turban in some places.
Despite the fact that he bought
first-class tickets on the railways,
he was compelled to travel in the
third class, because he was an In
dian. He found no good hotel
which would take him in. He was
barred from good restaurants.
In 1896 he returned to India
for a short visit. He spoke about
the difficulties of Hindus in South
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-03-16

about 1t.
He called attention to the unjust
tax which was levied on indentured
workmen. This llnposition-$15-
was so steep for poor workman
that he could not afford to pay it.
For lack Of payment he was often
prevented from going back to
India. Perforce he had to stay in
South Africa and sell his labor at
a cheap price.
But garbled reports Of what
Gandhi had written and said were
cabled back to South Africa and
feeling against him ran high.
X ANDHI arrived from India on
~ a steamer at the port Of Dur
ban, Natal. He was mobbed and
was saved from serious injury Only
by ruse Of the police. He showed
his belief In the ethics og his re-
ligion and of Jesus by refusing to
prosecute his tormentors. This was
in January, 1897.
When the Boer war broke out
in 1899, Gandhi showed his for
giving nature. He deemed it the
duty of the Indians to stand by the
empire.
He offered the services Of himself
and his fellow countrymen and or
ganized an ambulance corps Of 1,100
men who did magnificent work
They were not compelled by the
terms of their contract to work on
the firing line, but they did SO. They
were well forward in the relief Of
Ladysmith.
Gandhi himself helped bear out
of battle one of the sons Of Lord
Roberts. They were mentioned in
dispatches and thirty medals
were granted to the leaders.
Similarly in 1906, at the time Of
the Zulu revolt, Gandhi once more
organized an ambulance corps. In
later years for his work in South
Africa, Lord Hardinge, then viceroy
of India, bestowed upon him the
much coveted Kaiser-i-Hind gold
medal.
THE wars over, Gandhi once
i more had a chance to think of
the wrongs of his countrymen. Not
only had the SIS tax not been ia
ken off the indentured workingmen,
but a new grievance arose.
Under a decision by one of the
South African judges, it was held
that no marriages would be con-
sidered valid unless celebrated &C
cording to Christian rites and duly
registered In South Africa. At one
swoop this ignored all marriages
performed according to Hindu or
Moslem rites among the workers
from India.
Gandhi decided that the time to
fight had arrived. He forged a wea-
pom which was new to the world
passive resistance. At his Tolstoy-
