Gold examined the program of the

the betrayal of the American Legion
who shelved the issue Of immediate
payment of the bonus by calling for
beer instead Of bread. I'VE want our
bonus now" shouted the speaker. The
veterans responded to this demand
with q long ringing cheer.
Raymond spoke on the prepare

Raymond, lis directed against the
only country in the world where
there is real working class democ-
racy, where there is no unemploy-

class-the Soviet Union. What will
be our position in the next war?
Will we fight again for the rich
against our fellow workers? I say we
will turn our guns against our OPP
pressors. we will defend the Soviet
Unioni" The veterans greeted this
with prolonged cheering.
The committee returned and re-
ported that the Board of Estimates
refused to hear the demands Of the
war vets on the weak excuse that
this business was not on the calen-

committee, stated that when the Wall

ger demonstration and parade de-
manding immediate relief and pay

W|CKERSHAM TRADE GAIN I'M SPEAKS TONIGHT JANUARY SHOWN BEFORE P,-T, A. BY J. 6. M'BR|DE|
Public Urged to Atte n d Know Alaska Better
 Meeting at 8 PM.

Judge James Wickersham, dele gate-elect to Congress from Alaska, will be the only speaker tonight at the meeting of the Parent Teacher Association in the auditorium of the grade school. His subject will be High Lights of Alaska His tory"
 Besides Judge Wickersham's ad- dress, there will be vocal and in strumental musical selections and a brief comedy sketch, but his con- tribution to the evenings program will be it's chief attraction
 The Association is undertaking a Know Alaska Better" movement Tonight's meeting will be the first of a series that will present inter esting persons capable of impart- ing interesting information in an interesting way. All persons, re- gardless of whether they are mem bers of the Association, are urged to be present.
 Judge Wickersham's term in Congress will begin March A. and it is not at all unlikely an extra session of the national lawmaking body will be called next month making his presence desirable in Washington, D. C. from a legislative viewpoint.
 Leaves This Month
 In any event, business of import ance to the Territory before the various departments will require his early attention. He expects to leave Juneau this month for the national capital His appearance tonight before the Parent Teacher Association will be one of the last opportunities to hear him before his departure and to hear him on subject to which he has given 30 years of study and research.
 The judge is recognized as an eminent authority on Alaskan his tory. He has a rare and valued collection of written and printed material relating to the country from it's earliest known existence to the present time-a collection equalled only in volume and worth by the collection in the Congress sional Library at Washington, DC.

THE management of the Lyric
l. announces that Moran and
Mack, otherwise known to millions
or radio, record, movie and musical
comedy fans as "The Two Black
Crows" will positively make their
appearance on the stage for one
week starting Saturday, April IL
These two famous blackface
comedians we're booked for the
Lyric some weeks ago, but at the
last moment were forced to cancel
due to the serious illness of Charlie
Mack, senior member of the Crows.
It is announced that Mack has
now fully recovered from his illness
and that he and his partner, Moran,
will be the headlined attraction on
the six-act vaudeville bill starting
at the Lyric next Saturday.
Moran and Mack present many
hilarious bits from their two motion
picture productions, 'Why Bring
That Up" and "Anybody's War"
Two of the most laughable of these
being the rock pile sequence and
the comedy boxing bout.

Miss Olivette, whose buffooneries
somewhat resemble those of Leon

CT getting a laugh on the stage is
to walk bowlegged or on the side of
the feet.
Il can see no reason for it, but

A gala host of flesh" and film

Easter week bill at the Lyric start
ing today. The Fox Movietone film
ization of Earl Derr Biggers' we'll
known mystery thriller, Charlie
Calm Carrie On" is the screen
event.
Six acts of RKO vaudeville, headed
by Jean Darling, Scooter Lowry,
Peggy Eames and Jim Wagner, four
former members Of the Our Gang,
movie kids, are on the stage portion
Of the show.
Charlie Chan Carries On is said
to adhere with unusual fidelity to
Earl Derr Bigger's noted story of the
brilliant Chinese detective, who
carries on" after the Scotland Yard
inspector is wounded by the much
sought criminal.
The story opens in the Scotland
Yard headquarters in London, with
the news of the murder of an elderly
American millionaire. In Nice an

on, in San Reno, a woman whom

FrOliC to
Be Staged
on Roof
Devine Makes Elaborate
Plans for Easter
Dance.

MUCH care will be taken by the
1Y4 management of the Indiana
Roof ballroom to inject a joyous
hilarity into the Roofs atmosphere
for tie Faster frolic to be given on
the Roof tomorrow in celebration of
the passing of Lent.
The program planned Coy Jack
Berry and his orchestra indicated
that they will do their part toward
contributing to the evenings gaiety
by offering a group of novelty en-
tertainment stunts in addition to
the regular dance schedule.
Berry and his musical outfit will
leave the local ballroom after the
Easter frolic tomorrow night. They
are to be replaced by Earl Newport
and his Rhythm Masters, who were
featured in the Roof ballroom early
last fall.
Tom Devine, manager of the ball
room, describes the Rhythm Masters
as typical Hoosier dance orches-
ira, which plays all types of dance
music.
It is his opinion that the Roofs
patrons find enjoyment in the easy
manner with which the Masters
handle the rendition of modern
dance arrangement as we'll as the
"corny" type of arrangement made
popular by jazz bands away back in
1918.
Among the many Indianapolis
clubs and organizations to plan
spring dances on the Roof is the
Marott NJ. B. a, which has chosen
next Thursday, April 9, for its dance
date.
The Marott dance will be open to
the public.

Eccentric dances are much harder
than straight acrobatic routines,
because to be really funny q per-
former must first perfect the
straight" steps and then burlesque
them, according to Nina Olivette,
whose antics provide much of the
comedy in Paramount'S production
of Queen High" the Schwab and
Mandell Broadway success.
1T is a mistake to try to originate
an entirely new eccentric dance"
she explained at the New York
studio recently. Such a system is
impoSSibly difficult while the fin
ished routine seldom would get
laugh.
