ported that a Dutch machine flies at the rate of over
800 miles an hour. There is probably no founda-
ton for the statement, otherwise there would be no
occasion to offer a prize, as this particular machine
is also said to meet all the other requirements speci-
he'd i'll the offer. At first glance one would suppose
that the advantage i'll speed>woufd lie with the
plane rather than with the spiral Craft. But speed
is only one disideratum. Perfect manageability is
another, and a highly important one. Thus far it
has not been possible to develop a plane which can
start and alight except at relatively high speed, and
in an open place free from distractions for a con
siderable distance. 1t does not appear likely that
this difficulty will be overcome in this type Of vc-
hicle. Its sailing power is derived from it's speed.
The spiral machine, if it will operate at all in actual
practice, will rise and alight vertically, requiring
no run in either case, and, however rapidly it may
DE made to travel, it can be made to travel as slowly
as may be desired.
The possibilities OF the thing are attractive.
Imagine a machine of moderate size and engine
power whose cost of construction and operation
compare with that of an automobile; which can
move directly upward from a standing start from
ones back yard which can be lowered inch by inch
into its own tracks without jar; and which will be
safe under all conditions except of b~reakage. Such
a machine would not need to travel rapidly to be
Exceedingly useful. Even at ordinary automobile
speed its advantages would be great, as it would be
independent of road conditions. And there are
millions OF people who would like to glide through
the air at so to so miles an hour to whom several
times that speed would have no attractions.

THE H~ELICoPTER AGAIN.
: British government has offered

The British government has offered a prize to
the person who, by a given date, will produce an
iii machine Of the h%elicopter type which will meet
certain specified conditions. The machine must
rise vertically to a height OF 200 feet with a speci-
fled load, must remain stationary for half an hour
i8 light to strong winds, and must make good
vertical landing with engine shut off. The prize is
avery substantial one, $4,000 pounds sterling.
The offer of such a prize demonstrates two
things, first, that the navigation Of the air by means
Of revolving planes placed horizontally is regarded
by practical and scientific men as having possibili-
ties which warrant serious attention, investigation
and experiment. Second, that there has been con-
siderable oyerstate1nent in the descriptions of hell
scoptet experiments already made.
1t may be assumed that the air ministry Of the
British government is not encouraging experiment
inSfclds where it believes there is nc. possibility Of
success. Evidently its members believe that there
issthe possibility, and at least a reasonable probable
ity, OF developing an air craft of this type which
will be seryiceable.. The idea, therefore. may be
said 70 have received Al 5least3 a qualified official APP
prDval.
The helicopter has not yet#been perfected to
the point Of practical usefulness. If it had been.
there would be no occasion for the offering Of such
prize. Descriptions of successful machines al
ready completed, and just ready to take toathe air,
must be accepted with reservations. The men who
conlprise the air ministry are undoubtedly familiar

western star, Mix was reported to
have paid out sums for his famous
Stetson hats, handmade decorated
boots, pearl-handled revolvers, beaded
vests, ETC., that rivaled the cost OF a
prima donna's regalia.
In his latest production, playing
a new role in story different from

1.-THE CHILD THOU CAVEST ME"
AT THE REX TONIGHT

1.-THE Child Thou Gavest Me-" which
started a two-day engagement at the
Rex theater yesterday, contains q
story so human in quality and the
situations are so natural and so
smoothly developed that the entire
production seems to be an interesting
period lifted right out of life. 1t is
a John NJ, Stahl production and re.
leased by Associated First National
Pictures, Inc.
The story is based on highly dra-
matte and very exciting episode which
supposedly transpires in Belgium. ,
Mr.. Stahh apparently exercised
nainstakine care in his selection of
TIE cast for this picture, which con-
tains an assemblage Of players who
are suited perfectly to their roles
and are of all-star calibre. Lewis
Stone. Barbara Castleton, William
Desmond and Richard ("1tchie'
Headrick head the list with such we'll
known figures as Adele Harrington,
Winter Hall, Helen Howard, Mayrc
Hall and Ruby Mccoy in their sup
port. ,
tains every element necessary to" a
perfect picture, in which category we
are compelled to place it. The sus-
pensc holds the interest from the
start to the climax, which is one OF
the most novel ever seen on the Sill

AT THEATRES
1.-THE RIGHT THAT FAILED"
AT THE GRAND TONIGHT

Preliminary because Of its quality
of he-Americanism, Metros new spe-
cial "The Right That Failed" which
is shown for the last time tonight
at the Grand theater should
enjoy popularity without class limi-
tations. It radiates certain ideals
Of manliness through love story
Of an accepted type that WI! no
doubt coincide with the cnernneo
standards Of every member OF tne
representative American family. AZ
the same time the opportunity foT
humor has not been overlooked ana
in fact it is the predominatlng light
ness of treatment attached to . theme
full of possibilities for the comedy
writer that makes this feature the
best in which Bert Lytell has starred
for some time. =. [%l.
The Introduction Of the prize ring
and the corresponding characters into
pictures is a modern tendency that
has probably never proved a greater
success than in this feature. ., When
= champion boxer finds that his great
prowess which has won him unparal'
leled recognition among men counts
FOR worse than nothing with the one
fair lady, the situation of his helpless
ness and miscalculations is pictures
que and amusing to say the least. For
the first time his fists are Of no use.
But the usual takes place and ,the
feminine admiration for physical fit-
ness is once more the conclusive fac
tor in a three-angled love affair.
Bert Lytell, as the squarejawed,
unpublished lover, gives an imperson-
alton that will no doubt surprise many
who have followed his work. He is
fully convincing in registering far
greater ease in the bout than IN tne
love arbor. Virginia Valli, it might
be said is a personality and an actress
who would inspire visa Wis. Good
direction, attractive settings and the
comic illustrations increase the SELL
ing value. :,
"The Strap Hanger" new two
part comedy completes the program.
