INDIANAPOLIS, April 10.--Lou Moore, who makes automobile rac- ing look easy by the debonair man. ner in which he slips into turns at 120 miles. an hour, is the first of the pilots to arrive at the Indianapolis speedway flor the 500-n1ile drive May 30.
 The Californian is done with last minute preparation, he says, and wants to be ready for the time trials in plenty of time this year. He came a year ago and loafed al- most until race day before accept ing a pilots job. The result was that the car was not as ready as he would have liked it.
 Impressed By Schneider
 And another thing superstition had something to do with Moore's leaving the dirt tracks of Calfor- mia so early. He recalled that Louie Schneider, a local driver, began preparing for the race last March

MAKER OF MEN
 HEADLINES NEW BILL AT CAPITOL
Jack Holt and Ric h hard Cromwell Appear in
 Leading Roles

Going behind the spectacular arena of sport, Maker of Men ? ithe Columbia film that opens to- night at the Capitol theatre un- covers a psychological drama of the relationship between father and son and strikes a sensitive, human note. Jack Holt plays the part of the fatfler-a college athletic coach who expects his son to fulfill his ambitions for him, regardless of how poorly the boy is equipped for the role. Richard Cromwell gives a portrait of a boy afraid to take punishment and afraid to admit it because it will brand him a coward and kill his faith CTS pride in fsi1n.
 Crux of Situation
 The crux of the entire situation is the fact that Uncle" Dudley as the students of Western Uni versSty have affectionately dubbed their coach, in his enthusiasm for his work, has lost sight of the fact that his son demands that he be more than @ coach. The boy nseds a human, understanding fa- ther who will sympathize with hs frailties, as well as glory in has physical prowress.
 Even after tine boy confesses to his father his inability to take punishment he is forced to com pete. Failing woefully his father brands him publicly q'Iitter- and a coward.
 Leads To Dramatic Scene
 The boys mental suffering through the scorn of his school mates and the girl he loves, leads to a dramatic scene in which Bob tells his father just how he has failed him as a father and how he has conquered his own fears by hifnseIf-'he has learned that there is a punishment far worse than physical fear!
 Maker of Men" is a drama poignant with heart punch and packing a thrill wallop of the cheer variety.
 Joan Marsh plays the feminine lead. Walter Cat1ett and Paul Hurst provide comedy. Robert AL den and John Wayne are a cou- ple of husky collegians and Nat alie Moorhead, Richard Tucker and Sidney Bracy have prominent roles.
