AERO CLUB TO TEST
UPPER AIR CURRENTS
One Hundred Balloons to Be Released
Within llext Sixty Days in Hope
of Obtaining Valuable
Data

One hundred balloons are going up in
Los Angeles county in the next sixty
days, but not in transcontinental
race. The Aero club of California de-
cided last night to make experiments
in Los Angeles and elsewhere, possibly
as far away as San Bernardino and
Riverside, to obtain definite information
on air currents. The more experienced
members of the club believe that there
are no definite currents in this section
and that the day-to-day conditions are
the more important to be considered in
balloon ascensions. The clubs expert
ments with small balloons will be made
to determine this question. 1t is
planned to send up a number of bal
looms throughout one night, releasing
one every hour.
The club has also arranged to compile
complete record of aerial navigation
at Los Angeles from the first flights
and to maintain this permanently. A
special committee was appointed last
night to arrange for the competitive
use of different types of gliders at pub
lie exhibitions at the clubs aerodrome
park and at mountain resorts. Ar
rangements. were made for wider pub
licity of the advantages of Southern
California as an aeronautic center, par
ticularly in the winter months.

It is said that Martin V. Merle wrote
"The Light Eternal during ms senior

performance at the Belasco last hlght
this would seem impossible. 1t must
have been in his freshman year.
The plav is crudely conceived, clum-

trived. in point of dramatic back
ground, scenic unities and character

more than a keg of nails ana pouha

If has to do with the clash between
paganism and Christianity in the de-
clining days of Rome. Marco Valerlus'
a Young Roman who has become
Christian, loves Artemia, the daughteI
of DiOcletian. Corvinus, the son OF
Roman project, also loves her. Cor
vinus learns that Marco is Christian
and tells the emperor. The emperor
gives him "a chance to renounce ms
religion and upon his refusal has MIN
thrown to the beasts. He renders
unto Caesar that which is Caesar ana
unto God that which is Goa s. ...,.o
No one can question the impulse
which produced the play. The. motlVe
is exalted and dignified, and, In spite
of all the crudities of the piece, there
is a lofty and sustained note OF re-
Iigious fervor which could not De lost
unless the audience were apsolutely
lacking in veneration. A..
The Belasco company makes the
most of the play, although 1t is easy
to see that Miss Virginia Kline IS NOT
at her best in the role of Artenlla.
The tragic strain of the part gives
the continual impression that MISS
Kline is trying to lift hersef by ner
dainty boot-straps, or rather' sanual-
straps-very small sandals they were,
foo The audience withheld judgment
unon Miss Kline's acting last night
and waits TO see her in a part more
suited to her capabilities.
Mr.. Van Buren, as Marco the nero,
seems a bit bored by the p1ece-ln
fact all the company did, for that
matter-and although it was the sec sec
ond night of the performance they
We're still "winging' their parts.
AS to further exegesis of the play,
there is little to be said. 1t is appar-
ent in every line that the culture OF

and Gothic rather than classic. Not

not in a single instance is there the
slightest indication of an understand
