at the serious remarks Of poor
Charlie, We of the cast knew that
we were going to have tough time
because the laughs were coming at
the wrong time"
And Fred Lightner, who has seri-
ously studied the art Of causing
people to laugh, knows the verdict
of his audience by the way they
receive his fake ears.
Lightner is really serious about
this business Of being funny. And
I believe that he is one of the
hardest workers in the business.
found out that this man who
causes hundreds Of people to laugh
daily, loves great music.
When I was with him, he sat by
the hour listening to a pianist play
both great and modern music.
1t has been pleasant to meet Fred
Lightner, q comedian who knows
WHAT it Is all about.
He closes his engagement tonight
at the Indiana.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-03-05

Lightner Is tremendously inter-
esting and he knows a lot about
show business. I think the last
time he was here, he was with a
successful musical comedy at Eng
lishs.
Fred is the brother Of Winnie
Lightner who went skyrocketing to
fame and money on the talking
screen.
This may seem funny but the
most serious business in the world
is the business Of being funny.
There is a definite comedy touch
about everything that Lightner Is
doing this week at the Indiana.
There is more to this fake ear
stunt Of Fred's than it appears on
the surface. The fake ears are
really the index to the mood of the
audience.
1.-THE second that the audience
lamps my fake ears, I can tell in a
second whether they are going to be
with me or against me-" Fred said.
And that is sound logic because
all men and women of the stage
who know their business have an
index" by which they can Judge
the audience.
Once when Donald Macdonald
was playing at English's in Strange
Interlude," he told me that the
opening speech Of poor Charles
Marsden about his sex complex was
the index to the way the play was
going to go.

ENDS COLD QUICK WAY
DOCTORS NOW ADVISE
Tempting Taste! Instant Relief
Then Cold Just Disappears
When Treated This Way

No longer is it necessary for
colds to cause needless misery or
risk of pneumonia. For doctors are
now advising a method that has
given quick, sure relief-not only in
extreme hospital cases, but in home
use among vast numbers in Indian
apolis and vicinity.
L. H. Phillips, for example, neg
lected his cold because it was mild
at first. A day later congestion
started to spread rapidly; he felt
"achy' and feared pneumonia. On
the advice OF his doctor then he
started using double strength doses
of Ayers Pectoral-a hospital-cer-
titled medication of wild cherry,
terpin-hydrate and other ingredi-
ents now used by leading clinics.
Relief began instantly. With the
first pleasant swallow he felt its
comforting, healing warmth-from
his nose passages deep down into
his chest. In few hours the "fev-
erish," "achy" feeling was relieved;
congestion began to clear up, and
in another day or so, the doctor

BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MOSCOW, March 5.-If the quail
ity of life under the Soviets will
ever be conveyed to readers outside
it will be done not by economists, or
journalists, but by artists.
The things which give that life
its special flavor. its deep tang, are
not alone in the concrete facts.
They are in overtones. in new atti-
tudes and new prejudices not easily
caught in words.
Not even the United States, with
It's reputation for standardized
thinking and Well-advertised catch
words, is as thoroughgoing in these
respects as the Soviet Union.
Thirteen years of undisguised
propaganda for a set of ideas have
produced a mental uniformity rarely
matched in history. Germany or
France in the midst of their death
grapple scarcely developed such uni
form opinion as has the land Of
Soviets.
Slogans" Replace Thought
For that active fraction Of the
population which takes the trouble
to have a well-defined viewpoint at
all, stock phrases too often take
the place Of thought. Slogans" they
are called here.
Because of the exceptional strain
and sacrifices imposed on the nation
by the present policies, there is no
room left for independent views.
The prime political virture is
orthodox.
Personal journalism, for instance,
practically has been eliminated.
Whether in stories" or editorials
the Soviet writer sticks to texts.
stereotyped phrases, the path of
safety.
Like the orthodoxies of older re-
hgions, Communist orthodoxy finds
expression in unthinking and IRA
tional tabooS.
Foreigners Are Isolated
Anything which smacks Of "bour-
geois comfort" even too many
cushions on the divan in the living
room-is per Sc shameful.
The principal taboo, of course, is
against the Communist for
e1gner.
The foreign correspondents, the
invited engineers and specialists are
as nearly isolated as they can be
short Of actual imprisonment in
their rooms.
The Russians who see them out
side Of official duty do so with a
deep sense Of tasting forbidden fruit
and flirting with danger.
The foreigners are given special
privileges in the matter of food,
priority in a hundred things.
Foreigners Under Watch
But they are denied-not by law
but by the force Of customary real
contact with Russians, especially
with pro-Soviet Russians.
Already a fact when arrived
three years ago, the isolation of the
foreigner has become increasingly
stringent in the last eighteen
months.
The 100 per cent Communist
shrinks from the bourgeois repre-
sentative through a real distate for
contact with anything "unclean."
The rest, especially in the large CEN
ters, steer shy out of ordinary fear.
1t may be legal, they figure, but
1t is not safe. It is an open secret
that all foreigners are under con-
slant surveillance and few Russians,
however clear their consciences,
care to step into the circle of obser-
walton.

w WASHINGTON failed to finish
\n/ in second place in the
American League campaign

AN III second pace IN lle
v v American League campaign
this year, but it had the
second best pitching staff in the cir
cult. Official figures given by the
league show that the Nationals mound
corps yielded an average of only 376
earned runs per nine innings.
Only the boxmen of the world
champion Athletics did better, giving
up an average of 3.47 earned runs per
game.
Irving Hadley. recently shipped to
the White Sox in trade, Is credited
with the best earned-run average
among the Washington fingers Of the
past season. He allowed 305 per game
to stand fourth in the list, while his
teammate, Lloyd Brown, allowed 800
per game to stand fifth.
Big Fred Marberry, who with 16
wins and four defeats. holds the best
Washington won-and-lost record, fin
ished seventh in the earned-run
averages and AL Crowder finished six
teenth
Hadley took part in SIS games more
than any other pitcher in the league.
He led the Washington staff at issuing
passes and pitching strikeouts. Bump
franked 80 batters to first base and
struck out 124. Brown did more work
than any other of the Nationals
hurlers in pitching 259 innings.
The greatest achievment by Wash
ington pitcher during the season was
a scoreless no-hit game on August 8,
with Bob Burke making the Red Sox
his victims. Wesley Ferrell Of the
Indians was the only other American
Lacquer to hurl a no-hit game.
1t was great season for Bob Grove,
chief of the Athletics staff. The best
left-hander the American League has
know won 81 games while losing four.
His winning percentage, 1856, is the
highest for any major league pitcher
since 1900. He led in average earned
run yield per game with 205 and in
strikeouts with ITS. Grove also was
second in the number of innings
pitched, 289, his colleague George Wal
berg leading with 291.
In the seven seasons Grove has
pitched for the Athletics he has Won
146 games and lost 81, an average of
