ship AND PLANES
TO TEST STRENGTH
Fifty Aircraft Will Seek to De-
strOy S. S. IOwa-Experiment
Will Determine Ability to
Hit Rapidly Moving Object.

Washington, June 26.-The old bat
tleship Iowa, operated and maneu-
vered by radio impulses, will attempt
to elude the navy and army airman
off the Atlantic Coast Tuesday in an
effort to demonstrate that aviation
has not yet reached the point where
the defense of the coast may be left
entirely in the hands Of the new
branch of the national defense sys-
tenn. The flyers, for their part, will
bend every effort to locate the Iowa
while the vessel is still well off the
coast, and having found her to rain
a shower of dummy bembs on her
decks.
The Iowa experiment will be the
second of series of tests conducted
jointly by the navy war department
to test the usefulness of aviation
against naval vessels under various
conditions and to provide both airmen
and naval constructors with data
otherwise unobtainable on which to
base innovations in the design of air.
craft and surface vessels. In the first
of the tests, conducted last week, one
former German submarine was sent
to the bottom by aerial bombs in 16
minutes and two others were sunk by
destroyer gunfre.
The Iowa and the battleship Ohio,
control ship, will station more than
100 miles off the coast, between Hat
teras and Delaware Cape, tomorrow.
More than SO aircraft of various
types will be used in the programme.
The only restrictions placed on the
airmen are that they must at all
times maintain maximum speed and
remain at an altitude of at least 1000
feet. This altitude was decided on as
the safety limit for planes operating
against a battleship capable of set
ting up an aircraft barrage.
The test is of particular interest
to army and navy officers because it
embodies two distinct and important
problems. The first is the ability of
the airmen to find an enemy ap-
preaching the coast, knowing only his
approximate location The other is
the test of the ability of the flyers to
hit a moving battleship from safe
altitude with bombs of sufficient size
to seriously damage modern major
vessel. Dummy bombs are being used
in the test because the navy depart
ment wishes to preserve the Iowa.
the only radio-controlled battleship in
the world, for Atlantic fleet target
practice late in the summer or early
fall. Determination of the damage
done by large aerial bombs against a
battleship will be obtained in later
attack on the former German battle
ship Osfriesland, which will be an
'chored.

"LOUe Birds" Stars
Made "Vaude" Debut
Here II Years AqO

Seventeen years ago a very, very
young couple made their vaudeville
debut together in Washington. They
were not the headliners on the bill
and their future was as yet an un-
certainty.
During the intervening seventeen
years, this young couple rose to the
very pinnacle Of big time vaude-
Vile. They became known from
coast to coast as two of the most
popular artists gracing the vaude-
Vile stage. They both hated to
leave vaudeville for after all these
years vaudeville has taken on the
atmosphere Of home to them, as
much so that they might be called
children of vaudeville
But they are graduating to star
dom in a great Broadway musical
comedy, and vaudeville had to be-
come a memory. And strange to
say they are making their debut
as stars of musical comedy in the
same city in which seventeen years
ago, they made their debut in
vaudeville.
These two successful young
artists are Pat Rooney and Marion
Bent, who come to Polls Theater
for one week beginning tonight.
They are the bright particular stars
OF Love. Birds" the new Wilmer
and Romberg production which en-
joys Sigmund Romberg's melodies,

Grazing for "Punch"
Ruins Many Pictures,
Declares TorneIir

Making motion pictures is one
thing; selling them is another. This
is a fact faced by many a director
who has wanted to make pictures
according to his idea Of what they
ought to be, but has had to make
them according to the distributors
idea of their STABILITY. The two
ideas often fight, and that Of the
distributor usually wins, so far as
results may be measured in finished
film, because the director knows in
advance that he must dispose Of his
picture to the distributor and that
he cannot do so unless the dis
tributer thinks it will sell. The
distributor must sell II to the ex-
hibitor, and that brings him into
the problem. Some directors blame
him more than the distributor for
original, spontaneous pictures which
the public would like If il had a
chance to see them.
However this may be, il is true
that distributors or exhibitors, or
both, as a rule, rate a picture by
its selling points action, 8"
that may be glaringly advertised
and are likely to be talked about,
but are not indices Of a pictures
worth as entertainment for intelli-
gent people. 1t is probably true
that photoplays sold by the punch"
are the easiest to sell to the pub
lie. and are therefore most attract
i've to the middle men, but IL is
nnnallU that fhArr
only pictures that may be made
profitable.
II there were a larger percentage
OF distributors and exhibitors using
adequate intelligence and taste in
their judgment and handling of pic
lures, the pictures the public gets
would be better than they are.
1t is admitted that good pictures
do reach the public now, and il is
by no means maintained that all
pictures which fail to meet market
requirements are good, but IT is as
serted as self-evident, or sufficient
ly evidenced, that pictures are not
nearly so good as they would be
IL more distributors were better
equipped for the part they play as
middle men.
Testimony to this fact is not lack
ing. and often It comes from those
who have demonstrated their ability
to make good pictures and also pic
lures that will sell. One OF the lat
est to speak is Maurice Tourneur,
who confessed to the writer recent
ly that he had never felt free to
follow his own ideas in picture
making because he had never been
able to get away from the fact
that he would have to submit his
work, not to the public, but to dis
tributers looking for punches and
caring for little else.
