SUFFRAGE HURT BY LATE ACTION *• SAYS MRS. WHITE ' * Ratification Praised, However , by Indianapolis Woman Leader . If Indiana had ratified the national suf frage amendment last .Tune or July when the women were insisting that Gov. Goodrich call a special session of the leg islature for that purpose, it would have had a much greater effect on other states than ratification at this late date, ac cording to Mrs. Edward Franklin White of Indianapolis. Mrs. Whit© expressed her appreciation of the action of the governor and the legislature,, however, even if It did come at a l3te date. Indiana women are hoping that the amendment will become a part of the constitution by Feb. 15,'the anniversary of the birthday of Susan B. Anthony. It is said that in addition to states where legislatures are in session and are cer tain to ratify, the governors of sufficient phther states to bring about complete rat ification have promised to call special sessions for this purpose. Mrs. Richard S3. Edwards of Peru, for mer president of the Indiana Woman’s Franchise league, says that the work' of the league will continue until the amend ment is ratified and the women of Indi ana are actually in a position to vote.

When Fred Stone’s parents crossed the state of Indiana in the “seventies” on their way to locate in Kansas, they traveled in a prairie schooner. When Fred Stone came to Indianapolis today to open a week’s engagement at Eng lish's In “Jack O’ 'Lantern,” he came in a special train, with 100 people. 'This shows what a man can do who has per sistence and patience and works hard. “The girl with the voice” is the way fefhat Yevette Rugel of George White’s "‘Scandals of 1919” was referred to re cently. Miss Rugel is a recruit from vaudeville and George White engaged her after hearing her sing at the Palace theater In New York. -!- -I- -1- MERAT.

Joseph Rudolph of Washington today took over the command of the air service depot at the- Indianapolis motor speedway. Capt. Shiras A. Blair has *<- ommanded the depot. CONFESSIONS OF A BRIDE Life seemed to be just like the game of “Crack the Whip” “Stop! Stapl" I cried again and again, but I could net make my warning heard a&trre the terrific blows .which the two frantic men were battering down the door of my cell. It was horrible to think that I was descending farther and farther Into a pit; with every quiver of that door, farther and farther away from a chance of rescue. It was horrible to realize that each fresh effort which Spence and Archer made in my behalf drove me closer to destruction! The closet In which I was snared did not move evenly and §moothly like the cage of a modern elevator. I suppose that its peculiar mechanism was another, triumph of those ancient masons, whose craftsmanship the engineer admired so much. It worked, by sharp jerks. Each blow on the dooV jogged some nicely ad justed stone In the wall, it seemed to ipe, and swung the stone a little out of place. Then down went the cell in which I stood. It dropped a notch and stopped. Asa chain slips over The cog of a wheel and catches, so my cell dropped by Inches —‘stopped—dropped—until I felt sure I would go mad with the sheer terror of the experience. 1 I remembered with horror that It didn’t make an* difference whether the door was pounded from the Inside Or the out side! The quaint mechanism worked- ex actly, either way. Obviously, It had been Invented to tantalize the prisoner; by its slowness and Hureness, it prolonged the agony of the descent. Even in the midst of my fright I couldn’t help wondering If the thing had been Invented, as I imagined, for the pun ishment of erring nuns, condemned to death in that dreadful olden time when the harsh inquisitors ruled in Mexico. Surely, the device had been intended for use, and because it actually did exist I had to take it for granted that other pris oners had died—as I myself tvas about to die! Other girls had gone mad as I myself was doing! I would know when I was quite mad, I told myself, because then I, too, would hammer —hammer—on the door to make it move faster and faster down —down —to what? As one etherized for a surgical opera tion, I felt myself slipping into black ness; nevertheless, the comfort of com plete oblivion was never quite realized. I remained vaguesly conscious, uncom fortably aware that something frightful was in store for me. It was going to happen the minute Spence and Archer stopped pounding. Then I would be at the bottom 6f the pit. What awaited me there? 1 hadn’t lived a very long life, I told myself, In what I believed to be my last meditation on earth. I had lived through a short but an awfully crowded existence. Chapters of it swirled before me and each chapter flung me off Into some succeed ing chapter of important adventure. Life seemed to be just like a game of “crack the whip.” I saw myself as a little child at the end of the “whip.’’ I was “cracked off” time after time—and thrown into different groups of children. At last I had been “cracked off” Into nothingness! That seemed very queer. Nothingness was, plainly, death! The Idea that I might die suddenly, un expectedly, bad always been a long way from my thoughts. Destiny had been kind to my clan.— Not one of my line had ever come to a violent end by acci dent or murder. Was I to be the first of my family to perish miserably ? Or would the family luck hold for me? It wouldn’t unless I compelled It to hold, I warned myself. By a mighty ef fort of will I threw off the enveloping faintnsss and screamed again. I thought that I heard a man’s voice answering from somewhere below me. I thought it was my husband’s voice! I knew that my imagination was deceiving me. I must be mad at last! Archer and -Ppence would never stop haltering at the wall uqtil It gave way. How shocked, how horrified they would be to find that it opened into a pit! I felt sorry for them. I felt sorry for myself because I had dreamed that Bob’s voice had answered mV^shrieks! —Copy- right, 1920. (To Be Continued.)

Suit Case.” ISlS—“When Bearcat Went Dry.” COLONIAL—OIive Thomas in “The Glorious Lady.” REGENT—Harry Carey in “The Ace of the Saddle.” - - -I- -!- -I circle. Mary Pickford holds full sway at the Circle this week In that very glad piece, “Pollyanna.” It is another of those pic tures in which this star brings to your eyes real tears, which are shed in sym pathy for the predicament in which we see the little being. Those sad moments only last ? short while though in “Pol lyanna,’’ as the scene is soon changed to cometiy, where uproarious laughter is brought from the audience. Mary Pick ford Is seen In this picture as a child of 12 years, a young creature who sees only the glad side of life, no matter bow cloudy and dark it looks at some times. She is left an orphan and goes to live with her Aunt Polly, who doesn’t care at all for children. Here she flrds many ways to brighten the lives of the sick in the village, only to be repaid by her aunt In whippings and scoldings. And then comes that time when she finds, hiding in a haystack, a funny little boy, Jimmie Bean, who assists her in h<g antics. This is too much for j Aunt Polly, and more comical things happen. But there is that day when a terrible accident happens to Pollyanna, and her aunt realizes that covered love for the child. Miss Pickford is a lovely little girl. Her big eyes are full of childish ex pression and, her long and heavy curls are characteristic. The roles of Jimmie Bean 'and Aunt Polly are well chosen. So real is little Jimmie in his pranks that one can look back and remember just such a youngster, who was always In mischief. Although the picturizstlon of “Pollyanna” is good, there is some what of a change In the story, such as usually exists in picturlaations. The ending of the play and story was de lightful, while the picture ends in rather an improbable manner. The soloist this week Is Willard Andelin and the Circle orchestra under the direction of Ernest Schmidt gives an especially arranged program. The new stage setting is by Frank Zlmraerer. -I- -I- -I ALHAMBRA. Rather unconventional, yet withall pleasing and entertaining, is the Al hambra’s offering, "The Woman in the Suitcase,” featuring Enid Bennett. This star has practically the only really good' part In the picture but she does well. She plays the part of Mary Moreland to perfection and her beauty covers the parts of the play which are dubious. Mary Moreland Is a charming girl who idolizes her parents. She discovers a picture of a chorus girl In her father’s suitcase and realizes thai her father, who she thought perfect, is unfaithful to her mother. Instead of revealing her knowledge and upbraiding him for bis waywardness, she plans to bring his mis take before him as a terrible reality. Her first step Is to make the acquaint ance of Dolly, the “woman In the suit case.” Things begin to happen thick and fast and Mary soon brings everything around In fine shape, even a love-affair for herself. The bill, which will be shown the first half of the week, includes a Briggs comedy and a Fox news film. -I- -I- -I MR. SMITH’S. Mabel Normand does everything we ex pected of her In “Pinto,” the attraction this week at Mr. Smith’s theater. She is that same Mabel, full of unusual feats and stunts that no one else ever at tempts. The story concerns Pinto, who when her father dies Is left an orphan with five foster fathers. As long as she is out west, where she has the great pastures and fields, where she might romp, she is all right, but when she goes to New York, clad In the garb cf a cow pnneher, things begin to happen. She and her nurse, a large cowboy, seek Pop Audrey s ranch In the metropolis, ail'd they ask every one where to locate that particular guardian. Before he Is found peculiar situations arise and there Is fun galore for the observer. By chance they meet the next door neighbor to Pop and he takes them out to the large home in bis classy automobile. When they arrive, they cause much excite ment and a number of entertaining things take place. The owner of that particular classy car plays an Important part at this turn. “Pinto” Is a highly interesting film that is bound to please all admirers of Mabel. A news reel com pletes the program. -I- -|- ISIS. The story of a young moonshiner who reforms is told in the scenes of “When Bearcat Went Dry,” the Isis feature for the first half of this week. The scenes of the picture, which is from the pen of Charles Neville Buck, are laid In the Cum berland mountains of Kentucky, where feuds, stills and beautiful girls exist.

Miss Zell appeared here with Mr. Stone In “Chin ChinT when a similar dance was given. an interesting film. The bill is completed by a Christy comedy and a news film. -|- -I- -I- ' OHIO. We could hardl.i imagine Theda Bara in a role such as the one in which she is appearing this week at the Ohio —that of Kathleen Mavourneen, an Irish girl. No longer does this star vamp her lovers and out-trick them. She Is sincere in her lov ing and it is almost hard to believe that this same Theda Bara was once “the” vampire of the screen. There are few who do not know the story of this pic tUM. Thrills seem to run wild through the entire plot from the time the**young girl is seen on the Donneybrook farm un til the moment she is made tlie wife of the squire. There is just the right at mosphere and detail to make this film typical of the Irish. Supporting the etar are Marc McDermott, Raymond McKee, Edward O’Connor and Jennie Dickerson. The program is rounded out -by a News reel, a Hajl Room Boys comedy and a Mutt and Jeff cartoons. 36TH SUFFRAGE STATE PUZZLE Sure of 34, but Don't Know Which Will Complete List.
