MIAMI THOUSANDS
GREET L|NDBERGHS
Famous Flyers May Continue
Trip to New York
Today.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, December 16.-Swoop-
ing down gracefully from Southern
skies, trim but work-worn seaplane
landed gently on the waters at the
International Airport here today bring
ing the sky-jaunting Lindberghs back
home.
While thousands lined the docks and
cheered, the famous pilot and his wife
completed a 90O-mile flight from San
Pedro, Dominican Republic. to set foot
on North American soil for the first
time since they flew away from New
York last July on an aerial odyssey to
three foreign continents.
During these five months the cele-
brated couple compiled valuable data
for air route mapping on a journey
which took them across the North At
lantic to Europe, south to Africa. over
the South Atlantic to Brazil and thence
UP through the West Indies to Florida.
Utmost secrecy surrounded the plans
of the Lindberghs during their stay
here, but from authoritative sources it
was learned they probably would hop
of early tomorrow for New York.
Greeted by Ovation.
After anchoring their plane, the
TingmiSSartoo, at the airport and clear
ing a customs inspection, the flyers
emerged from the Quarantine Build
ing to receive a thunderous ovation
from the crowds and then, with a
motor cycle police escort were driven
to a Miami Beach hotel.
There they selected an ocean front
suite, ordered lunch in their rooms
and refused all requests from news
paper men for an interview. Strict
instructions were given the hotel man.
agement that they were not to be dis
turbed.
Despite the fact the arrival plans
of the Lindberghs we're kept secret here,
in accordance with the colonels wish,
thousands of spectators thronged to the
water front and waited for hours to
catch a glimpse of the famous couple
and welcome them back home.
Shortly after noon the spectators, held
back from the wharf by police, sighted
the low-winged, pontooned ship on the
cloudless horizon. 1t came in toward
land from over the ocean at an altitude
of 1000 feet, after swinging up through
the Bahama Islands from the Domln-
ican Republic, and went into a long
glide.
Boats Block Way.
Leveling his ship off few feet above
the water, Lndbergh set the pontoons
down gently on the ocean, mile of
shore.
Swinging the plane around, Lind
bergh then climbed up on the cowling
to obtain an unobstructed vision over
the nose of the ship, while Mrs. Lind
bergh, who is a radio operator, as well
as a pilot, received directions from her
husband in taxing in toward shore.
Numerous sailboats, motorboatS and
rowboats, all containing curious spec
tators, drew in close and blocked the
way.
Twice Lindbergh was compelled to
circle in the water in front of the wharf

A majority of the Republican Ma

was organized last night to block the
first responsible attempt to reorganize

The larger committee obviously would
be more difficult to organize and, with
the Executive Committee unsympa-
thetic to the move, could be called in
session only by Chairman Sanders. He
seemed to have no thought of yielding
his post before his term expires, which
will be at the beginning OF the next
presidential campaign.
While neither Senator Reed nor Mr..
Moses could be located in Washington
last night, Mr. Moses was quoted as
having admitted that the move for Mr..
Edge had been blocked by the secret
circularizing of the Executive Commit

And a Clean Show

The Lyric crashes through this
week with one of the snappiest and
cleanest stage shows produced here
in recent seasons.
On the stage, the show begins
with Lloyd Nevada and company,
who present some mystifying ulu-
Sions against a black drop, in which
objects appear and disappear and
move from place to place with
amazing precision.
Curly Brooks. Negro song and
dance man, and his nanny" and
sister, are entertaining with their
levee music and Harlem dancing.
The -Four OF Us" a male quar-
tet, dramatizes some popular hits
and they pull their gags as well as
they sing.
The six lucky girls" are nicely
trained group of dancers who fill
the bill with almost every type of
dancing, notable among which is
the toe-tap number.
But it was Raynor Lehr and COM
pany who pull down the house. The
versatile master of ceremonies
sprints through a short and enter
tanning act. The little Negro boy
and his banjo. the two little "dia-
lect boys" and the blond songstress
all have numbers in the act which
were well received.

was a vital mistake in the movie
version.
The trouble with the Hollywood
attempte to bring GAS Husbands
Co. to the screen, is that it went
Hollywood from beginning to end.
In this department, I have gone
into detail previously regarding this
story. 1t isn't necessary to repeat.
In the movie version, the director
has retained the smart lines of the
original, but has lost the real COM
parative' atmosphere of the story.
This story has been decidedly mis-
cast. Warner Baxter gives a sad
performance as the small-town hus-
band. Helen VinSon never captures
The conflicting natures of the small
town wife who goes sporty in
Europe and returns to her home
town with her sport"
Warner GLAND struggles with the
role of Lomi, the sporty friend of
Emmie, played most successfully by
Catherine Doucet in a good Alice
Brady manner.
Huntley Jr., as Ronald, is inter-
esting, but far from a smashing sue
cess. The direction often is avk-
ward and never convincing. You
can be your own judge.

Ten Minute Alibi' Produces
One of Those Perfect Murders

Lehr's challenge to the audience
that he could do any kind of dance
suggested was a great stroke OF
showmanship. The audience just
talked right back to the stage, and
there was created the old-time idea
of vaudeville, the kind that used to
pack EN- in.
Buzzington's Rustic Revelers per-
formed in comic fashion against a
realistic barn scene, with even the
old COW in one corner. The little
brass band presented some close
harmony on their new arrangements
of the old songs, and the clever
contraptions used to bring out the
music were of the usual type used
by rustic musicians.
This show is taste of the good
old days.
The stage show is supported, very
feebly. by a musical picture, "Myrt
and Marge"
Now at the Lyric. (By the OBJ
Server.)
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-12-18

A new style of telling a murder
mystery is found in Ten Minute
Alibi," by Anthony Armstrong.
To start with Colin Derwent. an
English lawyer, dreams a perfect
crime with a perfect alibi. Derwent
commits the murder just as he had
dreamed it; and then centers his
ability upon maintaining his alibi.
Derwent murders Philip Sevilla,
who, in the opinion of the police,
deserved to be killed. His alibi
convinces Inspector Pember that he
is innocent.
But something happens to the
clock which had established the
alibi.
Sergeant Brace, however, keeps
his mouth shut and Derwent is a
free man as the final curtain goes
down.
Some bad lighting and some APP
parent directing careleSsneSs in the
first act got Ten Minute Alibi" off
to a confusing start last night.
These defects can be remedied with
ease and will be done of course.
Go to this play with the idea that
you will laugh and sympathize with
the murderer, as we'll as laugh at
the police. Really, it is quite some
fun.
The less you know about the story,
the more fun you will have. The
cast is quite interesting with Bert
Lytell giving a fine performance OF
the murderer. He is at his best
during the actual killing and in his
battle of wits with Inspector Penn
Der, as played by E. j. Blunkau.
Mr.. Blunkall actually walks away
with the acting honors. Mr.. Lytell
is supported by Cesar Romero, a
good actor in a small role, as he is
murdered in the second act; Vir-
GINA Milne, Ivan Miller and Derek
Fairran.
At English's tonight, Tuesday
night and Wednesday matinee and
night.
