Sure, the above photo of Miss

are japonica blooms forced by the

PROBATE JUDGE MUST
MAKE VENUE DEFENSE
High Court Orders Chambers to
Appear in Will Case.

An order requesting Probate Judge
Smiley N. Chambers to appear be-
fore the Indiana supreme court and
show cause why he should not grant
q change of venue in will case,
was issued by the high court Thurs
day

Ida McClintock, who died August,
1927, being contested by Margaret
Hanrahan.
A final report concerning the es-
tate had been filed by the Union
Trust Company, special administra-
tor. Following this, Edward Little,
attorney, sought to set aside the re-
port, opposing the allowance of a
fee to Robert Armstrong, attorney

been retained as attorney in the
case. The court overruled Little's
motions for reopening the case and
for changes of venues from the
county and judge,
The supreme court allowed the
Judge until Feb. 16 to appear.

Foolhardy Courage

So they want to bring "The
Captive" to washington. This
drama about lesbianism caused
the gendarmes to be called out In
blase New York and was uncere-
moniously closed. In California
all the cast were arrested and the
drama Shuttered.
Fred Schanberger, Of Baltimore,
is the impresario who would like
to open the play here Christmas
night. He forgets, apparently,
that others had a similar plan for
the Belasco Theater some years
ago until they found out the atti-
tude of the District Commits
sioners and the fact that the o. S.
district attorney was whetting

Given by Irish Players

led in planning their sister
Marion's future.
The charm of this play is in
both writing and acting. Last
nights audience was completely
won by Maureen Delany as the
buxom Susie lyman who slyly
led her man into speaking the
word. Eileen Grove gave q
quietly impressive performance in
the role of elder sister, Marion,
and P. J. Carolan as the blind
father offered a touching and
splendid piece of acting. The
second act of Far Off Hills"
gives that temptingly pretty
ingenue, Kate Curling, a grand
chance to be a coy mink, and
aided by Ria Mooney they make
this intimate peep into the bed
room scheming joyous adven-
ture.
My sole regret is that likeable
old duffer, Barry Fitzgerald did
not have more to do. What he
does is, as usual, ingratiating
humor. F. J. Mccormick, Michael
j. Dolan, Arthur Shields and May
Craig give skillful support.

Rx ANDREW r. KELLEY

The Abbey Theater Players at
the National went gay last night
in a delightful comedy, "The Far
Off Hills" by Lennox Robinson,
which introduced this versatile
company in a play Of sterling
merit.
It is refreshing in this day and
age to find that there are play
wrightS who can generate lusty
laughs based on clean-cut char
acter portraits, honesty of speech,
and naive comic situations which
arise in the lives Of simple folks.
''The Far Off Hills" is a clever
piece of light writing and these
talented actors, ever in the mood,
bring it to life with enhancing
appeal.
A little chapter in the lives of
the ClancyS is pictured. There is
the almost blind Patrick Clancy,
his two mischievious young col
leens, Ducky and Pet, and his
sober-minded daughter, Marion,
always thinking of going to the
convent. In three acts Play
wright Robinson contrives to show
how the head of the house was
roped by Susie lyman, how
Marion was swept off her feet by
an impetuous suitor and aban-
doned her plans to be religious.
Pet and Ducky, who lie abed
thinking Of romance, have a jolly
time directing Cupid's arrows for
their father, but are entirely mis-

Andrew r. Kelley claim it is
strangling the legitimate theater
and immediate relief is impera'
tive.
The letter, signed by Brady
and DR.. Moskowitz, says, after
referring to the declaration by a
protesting delegation before the
committee last January, that the
estimates Of possible revenue from
this tax made by the Treasury
Department were exaggerated and
unrealizable:
"This prediction has been
confirmed by the results. The
receipts for the first quarter Of
the fiscal year show that only
S3,3OO,OOO were collected from
the admissions tax from the
entire amusement field, in the
face Of the Governments esti-
mate Of revenue from this tax
for this period of $1O,5OO,OOO.
Therefore, a little over 30 per
cent of the Governments esti-
mate was obtained. But the
effect Of this tax upon the
legitimate theater cannot be
measured in terms Of percent
ages. It has contributed to-
ward the alienation Of audi
ences who, unable to pay the
usual prices for theater tickets,
are certainly not in q position
I'd bear the additional burden.
"The moving picture industry
has been able to protect itself
somewhat by reducing the prices
in a great many Of the picture
houses to 40 cents, thus avoid
ing payment Of the tax. Even
under these conditions the mo
ton picture industry is hard
hit. We are reliably informed
that the number Of vaudeville
presentation weeks have been
drasticaIIy reduced owing to the
conversion of hundreds OF
vaudeville picture houses into
sOund-picture houses, causing
loss Of employment to thou.

have proven to be destructive.

They're Well Trained

It isn't Just luck that the
Abbey Players happen to be first
class actors. Their training is
probably the most thorough and
rigid Of any undergone by aspir-
ing students of the theater. They
study a full two years before
they are permitted to put a foot
on the stage of the Abbey Thea
ter. Average time of study for
bright pupils before they are
handed even a small part is four
years.
Senator LaFollette, Representa-
tiveS Sol Bloom of New York
and George Holden Tinkham of
Massachusetts, were among last
nights audience for Ear Off
Hills" A tribute to the players
is that Is per cent of their en-
thusiastic patronage is repeat

Producers Claim Federal Assessment Is Killing

atom, Durante,
To Co-Star in
Beer Film
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1882, King Features
SNndicata- Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Dec. o.
When Metro = Goldwyn Mayer
talked of Jean Hersholt for it's
beer picture, it was throwing a red
herring across the trail to cross up
other producers. The real plan
of the studio is not a serious pic
ture, but an uproarious comedy
based on the red-hot national
issue.
Now. when it is too late for
other studios to cop the idea, Of
ficials admit that the story will
be a co-starring vehicle for Buster
Keaton and Jimmie Durante.
They have Bob Hopkins, one of
the ace comedy writers on the lot,
giving it a final workover.
Such coups, providing this is a
coup, are the delight of the pro-
ducers. Many tale could be told
of the Machiavellian strategy with
which the Hollywood nabobs seek
to protect their ideas from lynx
eyed competitors.
And well may they plot, for the
first studio on the market with a
successful idea skins the cream
of the profits. And even the cream
is none too thick these days.

Hollywood Parade

Practically every company in
Hollywood is arranging shooting
schedules to allow players and
directors to attend the football
game between the University of
Southern California and Notre
Dame. Actors will report for
work early Saturday morning and
some are forfeiting their chance
to attend the Mayfair by shoot
ing that night. But all Holly
wood will be in the stadium for
the game. And thousands of dol
lars Of Hollywood money is
wagered on the outcome.
The Joan Crawford company
finally has gone into production
without a leading man. Clark
Gable appears to be out and so
far Jack Gilbert and Lew Ayres
have been mentioned as possibili-
ties. With two weeks of shoot
ing before he needs the leading
man, Director Howard Hawks is
not rushing to a decision.
Charles Brabin, an ardent col
lector of English furniture and
ornaments, is buying the crystal
chandelier that once hung in the

Children's Day
Exercises at Frazer

Recent events of interest and
benefit in Frazer, r the Daily va
cation Bible school in May and the
Children's Day exercises on Sun
day, June 5. These helpful events
meant unsparing sacrifice and toll
by Mrs. Donehoo and her volunteer
helpers. Prayerful study of Gods
Word, the plan of salvation, and
Christian life and work, were in
terestingly taught to the 25 child
rem enrolled.
Intended primarily for the Indian
children whom Mrs. Donehoo serves
so constantly, the benefits of the
Bible School were open to all who
OF their own free-will desired to
attend. The results shown in the
public review on Sunday, May 20,
were convincing and surprising in
depth and clearness.
Frazer is fortunate to share in
the time and service of this con-
secrated missionary to the Indians
who since 1902 has been honored
and blessed in her Christian char
acter and acceptable work for the
Christ.
The Children's Day service re-
ferred to above, was appreciated
by the audience who attended and
a thank offering was sent to the
of National Missions. After
the regular summer vacation of the !
Sunday school, its useful work will
esume. Occasional preaching SER
vices, visitations of Indian homes,
md answering of sickness and sOr-
summons, will be looked after
the summer.-Contributed.
