Experts Say Engine
Device Insures Air
Trip Across Pacific
Triple Gearing Arrangement
Invented by Z. f. Callau-
Diet Proves Efficiency for
Big All-Metal Flying Boat


PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 22.--An
engine device which expects Of the
United States Navy arc confident Will
bring the honors Of the first flight
across the Pacific Ocean to this coun-
try was successfully tested here to-
day before repre- sentative of the gov
eminent and aircraft ind" stry.
The device is triple gearing ar
rangement, which permits three dis
tinct aircraft engines to drive one pro-
peller together or individually. 1t was
invented by Edison f. Gallaudet, a
pioneer American aircraft designer
The unit tested to-day is the first
of three which will be installed upon
the giant all-metal flying boat which
the Navy Department now is construct
ing at the naval aircraft factory in
PHILADELPHIA This mammoth craft,
when completed, viii be equipped with
nine Liberty motors of 400 horsepower
each, contained in three Gallaudet
units, giving the flying boat a total
tractive force of $500 horsepower
This craft will develop the power to
fly across the Atlantic Ocean with q
full complement while carrying twelve
tons of bombs or torpedos. Stripped of
its military equipment it is expected to
be able to negotiate the vast distance
across the Pacific Ocean success fully.
The invention tested to-day is known
as the "Gallaudet multiple drive" 1t
Is an adaptation of the clutch and gear
ing system which enables the propeller
and engines to operate at maximum
efficiency. During the tests an eighteen
foot propeller was attached to the three
engines used. The whole device was
mounted on n test stand twenty-five
feet high. Operations with one engine
then with two and finally with all three,
were successfully maze. The propel-
Ter was turned at eight hundred revolu-
tions minute while the engines we're
turning over at the rate of / 500 revo-
lutions minute.
The manner in which the three en-
Gines are attached to the central shaft
permits a streamlne cover to be placed
over them, and thus reduce the resist
ance in passage through the. air. The
invention viii have an equally i'm
portant bearing upon the development
of commercial flying across the ocean,
according to experts.
After the tests Mr.. Gallaudet said:
ga hundred-fo all-metal monoplane,
with such & unit, we guarantee can
make $50 miles an hour for twenty
hours with twelve passengers on board.
Economy of operation is such that the
trans Atlantic flight or the California;
Hawaii flight can be made for 5000 to
$500 per passenger"

On the Screen
Meighan Makes Satisfactory
Matt Peasley in Cinema Pro-
duction of '$Cappy Kicks"
BY Harriette Underhill

The "Cappy Kicks" which is being
shown at the RivoIi this week is
credited to Peter B. Kyne and Edward
Z. Rose, but we could find very little
of the Rose stage version in this screen
story of Thomas Meighan's. In fact,
had the name been altered, which some
times does happen, you know. in the
movies, we should not have recognized
single incident. The photo -dramatist,
however, has taken various interesting
episodes from the story and made them
into an interesting picture with a CEN
trail figure which is we'll suited to the
talents Of Tommy Meighan.
In the play, unless our memory plays
us false. there was a counter romance
which involved a young man from the
East and q private Secretary who had
once been a chorus girl in New York.
These characters do not appear in the
picture
Mr. Meighan is seen as Matt Peasley,
the first mate who would captain be.
Tom Forman directed the picture, and
he has used his imagination, as he is
not averse to doing when occasion de-
mands 1t. This makes the exchange of
the unfriendly kilograms between
Cappy Kicks and Matt Peasley most
amusing, when it might have been tire
some. He simply shows the messages,
with no word of comment and no pic
lures of the two people writing them,
calling messenger boy, ETC.
Mr.. Meighan is as smiling and as
charming as he was in "The Miracle
Man. Agnes Ayres is very beautiful
and bit whimsical as the heroine,
Florence Kicks. Charles Able gives,
the volcanic Cappy than did Tom Wise
IN the stage version. Hugh Cameron,

gene Woodward are others who con-
tribute to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion.
Ivan Linow is the big Swede who got
licked by Matt and then, doklike, for
ever after licked the hand that licked
him. We do not believe, however, tn at
Tommy Mcighan could, any place of
the screen, have beaten Ole Peterson
to = standstill or lie-down, for that
matter. Neither could he have gone
out to rescue the yacht on which
Florrie was sailing away and effected
that rescue by drawing them off the
rocks with a rope thrown from the tug
to the yacht. Our nautical knowl-
edge is limited, but we didn't spend four
days on the Fort Victoria for nothing
and those storms and rocks didn't look
half - real to us as the ones we have
seen IN Bermuda.
the screen version Of Cappy Kicks
was made by Albert lie Vino.
George Richardson sings "a sea
song" with the Rialto chorus as pro-
logue. 1t is wonderfully effective.
