City Hotel Built in Stage Coach Era
Still Going Strong After 100 Years
BY CARL THORBAHN
Times Stan Writer

A BOUT the time when a saddle
n OF venison or a wild turkey or
a bushel Of wild pigeons sold for p
cents. John Little opened A hotel in
indianapolis called the Sun Tavern.
This was in 1894 and the building
vas a small two-Story frame affair.
In those days. indianapolis was
just a small village emerging from
the swamp lands. Wild turkeys
roasted in quantity in a large sugar
grove near the site on which the
Public Library now stands. Wild
pigeons could be knocked down with
a stick. and deer could be shot in
what is now the downtown business
section.
Business prospered for John
Little, for accommodations for the
stage coach and horseback travellers
were scarce.
In 1647 the first railroad went
through indianapolis and a three
story L" was added by Johns sons,
Matthew and Ingraham Little. Four
years later a three-story brick hotel
called Little's Tavern was built.
The Tavern was the finest hotel
in the city then. as the Bates House
was not built until 1852. and the
elite OF Indianapolis rubbed elbows
with travel-stained voyagers from
the East and West.

The Tavern Is Sturdily built from
hand and sweat-hewn oak timbers
and the 'oOms to this day are I'M

II feet in size. are quaint, each with
its small. chest-high window beside

This old tavern is a monument to
the builders Of past generations.
Through 100 years of alterations it
seems solid enough, while more pre-
tsntiOus structures have come and
gone.

the audience-and the audience
clapped as Dixie" was played (after-
wards) and the tears came, and the
ladies heaved and sighed as Walter
Connolly launched into his mint julep
with as nice a grin as we have ever
seen.
PARAMOUNT, plus Laurence STALL
ings, Maxwell Anderson, Edwin
Justice Mayer, Douglas MacLean, Di-
rector King Vidor and the South'S
heritage of melodious music, has
turned out not great picture but
good one. The popular novel by Stark
Young has been filmed with taste and
some beauty, and while its message is
not one of comfort to Richmond and
the South, there were many present
who were distinctly moved by it.
Of the many excellent performances
including Margaret Sullavan's and
Walter Grand Actor Connelly's,
none was more popular than Elizabeth
Patterson-Who, when the house was
burned down right from under her,
was observed sneaking away with an
antique china bowl in her hand. A
newcomer, Robert Cummings. made
his mark, too-aS the only member of
the cast who really dug into south

Little Dickie Moore carried on his
share of the proceedings with his GUS

MOT having read all of the book, it
is not up to us to say how faith
fully it has duplicated its pages. The
scenes of the war, the mint juleps and
the captured spy are those. however,
with which we are already familiar.
Mr.. Vidor has recreated them with
force and pathos-although, as in a
good many Vidor films, he sketches
rather more than he paints-losing

And it was popular last night with
the Richmond audience and the visit

premiere. Maybe those red roses given
by the flowers of the South had some
thing to do with it. At any rate,
they helped to make a delightful visit

stage stars troop to Hollywood
for two years in response to the
American quest for English &C
cents" Great Britain's motion
picture industry has turned the
tables. - ~''''
Nearly every liner arriving
from the United States brings one
or more motion-pictare stars, sign
ed to appear in British films.
British films today are COM
peting OH level terms with Ameri-
can films" one Elstree producer
said. British studios give more
consideration to stars than any
other film center in the world,
Several of the American film
emigres appear to have been per-
manently absorbed by the British
producers. They include Douglas
Fairbanks, Jr., who told the
United Press he has undertaken
large plans for producing as well
as acting in England.
Others who are gradually
breaking away from Hollywood
their trips back to the United
States are becoming wider and
wider apart - are Give Brook,
Leslie Howard, Tuilio Carminati,
Fay Wray, Laura LaPlante and
June Clyde.
Hollywood "names" WHO are
making pictures in the studios
around London this winter are
Cary Grant, Otto Kruger Nils
Asther, Robert Young, Peter Lor-
re, Buddy Rogers. Douglas Mont

clude such familiar Aemrican
stars as Jean Muir, Lillian Har-

Merle Oberon and Charles

which is classified as neither ia

They divide their time between
the two film centers.
