REMARKABLE SCENES
 IN BEACH FILM

Director Reginald Barker has some excellent night scenes in Rex Beacvh's S production of '~The Girl From Out side"
 Five hundred extras have been at work to people the town of Nome, Alaska, as it was populated in 19OO- Every detail is historically correct. The main thoroughfare of Nome has been reproduced accurately. embody- ing such places of historical interest as Denton's saloon, the North Star hotel and the Nome warehouses
 As the action in "The Girl From Outsidev transpires during the so- called Alaskon rainy season." the mud scenes of the production are of paramount interest. The camera has caught the vast flood and the fierce betating of the waters against the buildings; the flashing of lightning. and the terrible wind storm-a re- production of the catastrophe storm that in 1902 wrecked a part of Nome. Rex Beach incorporates a fight into the action of '"The Girl from out side" with the same skill which he developed climatic struggles in The Brand" The Crimson Gardenia" and '"T'he Auction Block" The battle in '-The Girl from Outside. however, takes place in the mud outside Den toms dance hall during the black hours of the night. It's inception is in the lobby of the North Star Hotel between two thugs. played by Ted Fleming and Bull Durham. and two miner mudlarks, Walter McNamara and Ernest Spencer.

AIR RULES FOR PROPOSITION OF
 PUBLIC URGED

That immediate measures should be taken by the Federal authorities to license all aviators and establish traffic control prohibiting them from flying low over towns and endanger- ing the lives of the Inhabitants, is the opinion of Allen R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club of America.
 MT. Hawley stated that proposals will be submitted to the convention of the International Aeronautic Asso- ciation, which is to be held in Brus- sells next October, providing for gov ernment control and restrictions, now that flying has become so popular.
 In explanation of his views MT. Hawley stated that he was not op- posed to aeroplanes flying over cities for commercial purposes provided that they maintained proper height, thus allowing a sufficent gliding angle to safety. both to them selves and the population beneath.
 There are several other phases of aviation which must be taken up by the government before 1t is rendered practicable for commercial uses.' said President HawIey. "One of the most important is further experi- mentation and research work in be- Hum gas for dirigibles. Helium gas. which is at present manutact ctUred d only in small quantities, is not inflam- mable. It Is slightly more costly than the present hydrogen, and not quite as effective in lifting capacity, but MT. Hawley believes that by ex- perimentation 1t could be developed so as to make 1t ideal for dirigibles
 Another change suggested by MT. Hawley is the construction of non infiammable parachutes. Under d present ruling all decorations for large public gatherings are required by the fire department to be made of slow burning material. If these decorations can be made, there is nc reason why similar light material could not be constructed for para chuteS.

TRIBUTE TO MISS PEARSON

Virginia Pearson in Impossible Catherine" presents a new type of roie which will undoubtedly make a strong appeal to her many admirers especially as it e:1bodies a radical de- parture from her usual line of work. In many of the scenes there are acts reqtLxring daring and ge which strongly suggest those accom- plished by Douglas Fairbanks. In the final scenes, the charm and giriishness of her portrayal, as well as the realism which fills the char acterfzation, equal anything she has ever done in any previous role. No CT emotional strength and artistry. It would seem that Miss Pearson in this role has really surpassed any thing which she has done hereto fore.
