because it has been well directed In

LIGHTNER HEADS
NEW POLICY SHOW.
The Indiana has given up its
stage band policy, meaning that
Charlie Davis and his orchestra are
no longer on the stage but are in
the orchestra pit.
The unit show policy has been
given up for the time being and
four vaudeville acts are being billed
weekly.
The idea is to have the headliner
name act and the first name is
Winnie Lightner. Indianapolis must
remember her favorably for her
work in The Gold Diggers," Life
of the Party" and other movies be-
cause the Indiana started out with
capacity audiences for the first two
days Of the rev policy.
She gets her audience the second
she walks on. She sings four or
five songs and I must admit that
she gets her audience easier than
she did when she was in George
Whites Scandals" Her songs are
light, but it is the Lightner touch
that makes them individual.
David Harris is given a lot of time
to develop his act of "Legerdemain"
with frankie, just a natural eccen-
trio comedian. Harris and frankie
get into all kinds Of exposures with
their magic.
Harris has a cleyerly worked out
speciality when he turns himself
into a one man band. He is aided
by a couple of girl singers as well as
several dancers. A rag doll dance is
splendidly done.

Helen Twelvetrees in Her man."

who was born and raised in a rough
dive in Havana. She is rough, tough
and a pickpocket, who specializes
III male DRINKS.
She Is just a rough one until a
sailor. played by Philip Holmes, puts
romance and a sense of decency into
her makeup. Holmes has to put up
a real herman fight with the strong
sugar daddy who helped to keep the
girl a bum for years
This fight is splendidly handled
and directed. And it looks like the
real article. The theme of "Her
Man" might be termed a modern
slum tour of Havana.
The picture is rich in comedy,
furnished by two sailors who play
slot machines and drink up gallons
Of booze. The theme is not uplift-
ing, but does give Miss Twelvetrees
a chance do heavier acting than
she has been doing on the screen.
And that Holmes fellow has the
looks and the way about him which
should make him matinee favorite

it is weak and does not ring true.
expect many Of those who see this
movie will not be bothered about
noticing these faults, that I am
putting down here, because of the
fact that the picture does bring
Farrell and Gaynor to them again.
In other words just to watch them
on the screen will be satisfactory
to many. And because of this This
Man Who Came Back" should do
well at the box office.

CONCERNING
A VIOLINIST

Yesterday afternoon Joseph Szigeti,
vlolinist, gave a concert at the In
dianapoliS Maennerchor that was
well worth hearing.
He led out with Handles Sonata
in D. Major. In his second number,
Beethoven's Sonata in A Major. he
proved himself skilled artist, as
did his accompanist, Nikita de Ma
galoff, at the piano. 1t almost took
as long to play this number as it
did the last four numbers of his pro-
gram.
The third part consisted of Largo
by Veracini and Rondon by Mozart.
In the fourth group in Paganini's
Andante and Caprice in E Major,
and Strawinsky's Prelude and
Ronde DIES PrinceSses, he showed
skill in the modern movement of
music.
To me these two numbers ap-
pealed most, because I like the many
different tones and colors that flash
through them. CBy Observer
Mischa Levitzki will appear to-
night in a piano recital at Caleb
Mills hall as the third Offering of
the Civic music series.
Other theaters today offer: Ruth
Roland at the Lyric; "Only Saps
Work" at the Ohio; movies at the
Colonial, and burlesque at the
Mutual.

SENATE MOVES
To GUST SMITH

The United States Senate to-
day moved to oust George Otis
Smith from the office of chair
man of the Federal Power Com.
mission.
A petition for a writ Of quo
warrantO to require Mr.. Smith
to SHOW by what warrant he
holds or exercises the office Of
member and chairman of the
Federal Power Commission" was
filed in the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia by United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover.
Although Mr.. Rover's name ap-
pears as petitioner in the suit,
he is not the complainant. The
Senate by a resolution Of Febru'
ary S last requested him to insti-
tute proceedings in quo warranto
to test the right of the new chair
man of the commission to hold
and later engaged special counsel
to prepare the papers.
John w. Davis and Alexander
j. Groesbeck, counsel for the
United States Senate" are the
attorneys in the case.

FALL DECIDES
NOT To APPEAL

Ell PASO, Tex. May 4 0N.S0
The long ttght of Albret B. Fall,
former Secretary of the Interior,
to avoid year in Jail and pay
ment of a 100000 fine, seemed
to be at an end today.
Fall reiterated his announce
ment that he would not appeal to
the Supreme Court from the sent
ence imposed in a District of Col
umbia Court which found him
guilty of accepting a bribe from
Edward L. Doheny.
Fall, through w. b. Bull, a
personal friend, sent a state
ment to Ell PaSO to the effect
that he was wiring his attorney,
Frank ]. Hogan, of Washington,
to take no further action in ap-
pealing his case.
AS a result of his announce
ment, friends of Fall redoubled
their efforts today to obtain
clemency for him through inter
vention by President Hoover.
They have been circulating
petitions for some time in New
Mexico. asking for clemency.
They point out that Fall is we'll
along in years and that a Jail
term might seriously affect his
health,

PITTS IS DENIED
BAIL AGAIN

G. Bryan Pitts, former chair
man of the board of the F. H,
Smith Company, under a 14-year
sentence for conspiracy to en-
bezzle funds of the company, to-
day lost in the Court of Appeals
his suit for freedom on bail while
his appeal is pending.
Pitts was remanded to jail at
the time of his conviction, and
Attorney T. Morris Wampler ap-
piled to the District Supreme
Court for his release on a writ
of habeaS corpus.
He contended that the statute
creating the crime of conspiracy
provided that cases under it must
be tried in Federal district courts,
of which there are none in the
District, and accordingly Pitts
conviction was illegal.
Justice Frederick L. SiddonS be-
fore whom the case was argued.
denied the writ and the appeal
was taken to the Court OF Appeals
on that proposition.

ON TIDE LANDS

The Government today won
its contention in the United
States Supreme Court that the
high water mark on the southern
bank of the Potomac River is
the dividing line between the
State of Virginia and the Dis
trict.
The case arose through a dis
pute between the Smoot Sand
and Gravel Company, holding a
Government contract, and the
