people who realize what low sweat

CITYS VIEW ON
BUYING OTHER
UTILITIES ASKED
Municipal League Directs
Question to Officials
of District.

The board of trustees, the board
of directors and the manager Of the
Citizens Gas and Coke Utility today
were asked by the indianapolis
Municipal League, Inc. to go on
record as to their attitude toward
the municipal acquisition Of other
utilities.
Although not specifically men
toned in the appeal to the city
utility district management. the
question presumably referred to the
Indianapolis Water Co. and the In
dianapolis Power and Light Com
pany.
In a letter to the utility boards,
the Municipal League directors
pointed out that any one not in
harmony with the principles of
public ownership of utilities should
not participate in the management
of such public properties.
1T would be especially danger
Gus to have in such management
hostile opinions regarding future
requirements" the League pointed
out.
THE Indianapolis Municipal
League hereby is appealing to the
trustees of the utility district and
the board of directors selected by
the trustees" the letter said, for
a public expression revealing their
individual attitude on the public
ownership, not only as related tc
the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility
but regarding other of the Indian
apolis utility plants.
1T is believed, since your boards
are serving the people there is a
definite obligation on your part to
inform them on the question pre-
sented in this communication"
The letter was signed by the fol-
lowing directors and officers of the
league: E. o. Snethen, president
Clarence Baker, first vice president
T. E. Barker, second vice president

A NY life story-yours or mine
n is a gesture, more or less
futile. 1t is narrative Of dates
and people and events which may
interest some and bore others to
extinction.
I shall set down the important
events Of my life as simply as they
shaped themselves. I presume that
most actors cultivate the impress
sion that they were born for the
stage. There is no such illusion
here.
Ny fathers name was Charles
Colman, a silk importer Of mod
est circumstances, and there is no
proof that there ever was an &C
tor in the family before my time.
Ny mothers maiden name was
Marjorie Fraser and I was born
on Feb. 9, 1891. The birthplace
was Richmond, Surrey, England.

School in LittlehamptOn, en- route
to a gentleman's station.
While at Hadley I became in

and played several juvenile roles.
I contrived to get a member Of
Sir George Alexanders company
to look me over. He did, and
looked right over me.
IT was only a few weeks later
Il that my father died and I was
compelled, at 16, to abandon
hopes of oxford and go to work.
I went to London as office boy
Tor the British Steamship Co. at
$3.50 a week. Five years later
had advanced to a stool before
an old black desk and the some
what munificent salary of S12.

injury led to my medical dis
charge and I was a free man,
looking for work, in the summer
of 1916.
My thoughts turned first to
4VA the theater and was
rather lucky. My first profess
sional appearance was as the
black-faced herald boy in the
Tagore sketch, The Maharanee
of Arakan,' at the Coliseum. All I
did was toot a horn.
Strangely enough, this false
start led to a meeting with Miss
