PAGE 4 REFORMERS ARE MENACE, SAYS JUDGE Barrister Orders Dog Track Reopened and Bombards •Blue Laws/ Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 16—Reformers are a greater menace to the happi ness and well-being of the public than all the gambling indulged in by citizens of the nation, Harry M. Fisher, circuit judge, declared in re instating an injunction under which Chicago’s two dog racing tracks were operating once more today. The judge, in ordering the tracks reopened, affirmed the opinion of Max M. Korshak, master of chan cery, that the legislature by legaliz ing the pari-mutuel betting system for horse racing also had made it legal for dog racing. The injunction preventing John A. Swanson, state’s attorney, from interfering with the dog tracks had been withdrawn several weeks ago, when raiding forces from Swanson’s office persisted in closing the tracks night after night in spite of the restraining order. A force of raiders w r as in readiness to sw’oop on the tracks again today, but no action had been taken, due to the fact that Swanson was out of town and his assistant refused to act. Judge Fisher’s outburst against the reformers was due to the fact that he charged they had brought pressure to bear against Swanson to make him ignore the previous in junction. “I appreciate the position the state’s attorney and the sheriff find themselves in,” the jurist said. “Pressure is being brought to bear upon them by pseudo-reformers who so far forget themselves in their fanatical zeal to impose their own and righteous wills upon a sinful multitude they would have these officers of the law violate the in junctions of the court.” After pointing out that “blue law-s” often are carried to “such extremes that they become ludicrous or what is more serious, an alarm ing menace to the civil liberties of the people,” the judge’s written opinion concluded: “I have no nesitancy in express ing the opinion that these self appointed guardians of other indi viduals’ virtues are a greater men ace to the happiness and well-being of our people than all the gam bling indulged in by citizens of the entire nation.” PLEASANT RUN DRAWS >, 250 CHILDREN DAILY Many and Varied Activities Make Playground Extremely Popular. Activities at Pleasant Run play ground, recently opened, are at tracting 250 children daily, accord ing to Miss Grace Gass, instructor. The boys have started a scrub base ball team, and probably will be strong contenders in the Kitten Ball League next summer. They organ ized too late to get into this season’s league. Number ball, played by use of a circle, volley ball, maypole ac tivities, swings and slides are keep ing the 250 attendants busy every hour in the day. “I would like to start several more playgrounds in sections of the city similar to Pleasant Run,” said Jesse P. McClure, recreation director. “Thousands of children do not have the benefit of games or open air that it is possible to offer through the playground system. As soon aS" the recreation department is financially able, we intend to or ganize more grounds.” A butterfly in flight beats its wings nine times a second.

A DRAMATIZED version of “Hiawatha,” Longfellow’s famous legend of the Indian, will be the feature attraction at the municipal beach at Twenty-sixth street and White river during the coming week. The pageant wlil be free to the public and will be presented each evening at 8:30 o’clock, starting next Sunday evening. The character parts in the beautiful legendary history of a vanish ing race are being taken by the life guards employed at the beach, sup plemented by regular boy and girl patrons. Due to the fact that all of the guards are college students most of them have had some dramatic training and are able to give life to the famous characters. The leading character, Hiawatha. ! is played by William Krieg. Notre Dame student, with Miss Elsinor Funk portraying his bride, Minne haha. Miss Florence Angelo takes the part of Nokomis, Hiawatha’s grand mother. The continuity of the poem is provided by Charles Jones. Wa bash, as Nawadaha, musician and sweet singer. Ray Prigger of Butler takes the part of the arrow-maker, father.of Minnehaha, while Alexander Sabo appears as Gitche Manito, legendary Indian Great Spirit. John Mar shall, Cathedral graduate, portrays lagoo, the Indian story teller. The part of the infant Hiawatha is played by Tommy Angelo. Others taking part are Vincent Macer as Famine, Billy Angelo as Fever, and William Martz, Indiana, Missionary Father. The setting for the pageant is ideal, being on the water’s edge and surrounded by large forest trees; elements which have changed but slightly since real Indians roamed this section. The beach forms a natural am phitheater sloping down to the water’s edge in a huge semi-circle, providing ample seating space for the spectators. The pageant is being directed by Miss Hazel Abbott, in charge of pageantry for the recreation de partment. assisted by Joe H. Sulli van, supervisor at the beach. Mrs. Constance West Jackson, graduate of the Ithaca, N. Y„ School of Dramatic .Art, is acting as critic. a a a BIG BILL DUE AT LYRIC William Desmond, popular movie star, heads the quartet of RKO vaudeville attractions slated for presentation at the Lyric starting next Saturday. Desmond brings to the vaudeville stage a breezy little comedy drama entitled “The Right Man,” in which he is supported by Mrs. Desmond, formerly known in the movies as Mary Mac Ivor and Harry Shutan. Desmond is said to have an excel lent role, one that brings out all of his sterling acting ability. He is now completing his vaude ville tour and will shortly make his reappearance on the screen via the talking films. Desmond recently was interrupted in tour on the Keith circuit to play an important part in “No Defense,” a Warner Brothers Vitaphone pro duction. which was shown at the Lyric some weeks ago. He “clicked” in the parlance of theater, and has now a signed con tract for a number of productions to be forthcoming this season. Bill is one actor who feels entirely at home in the “talkies,” for at one time he was an outstanding favorite of the speaking stage. Among his most famous roles on the speaking stage are those in “Ben-Hur,” “The Bird of Paradise,” “The Man on the JzmsmfW fLETCHER AMERICAN NATIONAL BA.NI<- Largest Bank in Indiana INDIANA LAW SCHOOL University of Indianapolis School-year 1929.1930 opens Sept. 18.

Big Bill Bloom berg, who will present them, is a “musher of the north woods of Min nesota.” He has raised dogs since he was a boy, and it was one of his teams that Seppala drove on his historic trip to the diphtheria-strickened people of Nome. There are seven performing dogs in the pack, considered the most beautiful in Alaska, five jet black and two pure white, and their per formance is very fascinating and interesting. Two other acts to be seen on the bill are The Four Covans, conceded to be four of the flashiest and fast est stepping dancers in the varieties today. The Texas Comedy Four, a standard harmony singing and fun making quartet, complete the stage program. “Beware of Bachelors,” a Warner Brothers Vitaphone production with a well-known cast of stars includ ing Audrey Ferris, William Collier Jr., Margaret Livingston and Andre Beranger, will supply the talking picture entertainment. tt tt Other theaters today offer: "Hard to Get” with Dorothy Mackaill at the Indiana, "The Cocoanuts” at the Circle, The Lockfords at the Lyric, “On With the Show” at the Apollo, “Thunder” at the Palace, “Danger ous Curves” at the Ohio, and movies, at the Colonial.
