PASSING SHOW" SCORES HERE WITH
TOWARDS LEADING WAY IN FUN-MAKINC

"The Passing Show" which played
to full house at the Auditorium last
night, meets the movies On their own
ground. 1t goes in heavily for pic
torial effect. 1t is extravaganza, as
have been the other Passing Shows
of the Messers. Schubert, it is gorge
Gus, more so than ever before; and
funnier and livolier. The tenth an
nual revue lived up to its advance
notices.
Willie and Eugene Howard, almost
a show in themselves. weren't rival
led in the cast, but they were by the
creators of the scenic effects and
bizarre and coloIful gowns which
were lavished on the productions, and
in the stagecraft of the director who
kept the show going along at a smart
pace with never dull moment
through its entire twenty-one scenes.
With Ed Wynn, Leon Enrol and
Walter Catlct, at the top of the list
Of fun makers on the American mus
zeal comedy stage preceding them,
Willie and Eugene Howard never lost
by comparison. Old jokes and new
they spun so rapidly that they kept
their audience convulsed most OF the
time.
Being a revue the show was not
expected to have any plot. Among
the outstanding comedy acts of the
production were the burlesqucs on
the famous mystery plays, including
"The Bat" "The Cat and the Can
ary," "Whispering Wires" and ''Thc
Hindu" and Willie Towards early
morning scene in the mems room Of
a Pullman car
Emily Miles furnished the pflchri-
tudinous effect expected of the lead
ing lady, while Helen Rcnstrom and
John Quinlan furnished the voice
leads for splendid music. Marc Lock
ford entertained as an acrobatic
dancer extraordinary. A whole bevy
of girls made up the chorus.
The show was said to have cost the
Mcssrs. Shubcrt $254,000 Those who
like a spectacle on the stage, with a
| mixture of vaudeville. buricsque,
musical comedy, extravanagza, ballets
and drama are quite convinced that
the expense was well worth while,
for the show was excellent eye and
ear entertainment.

that Thomas Marshall has a heart of

to this crime as a dastardly cruel
crime"
I'VE ought not refer to those two
young men, these poor sons of multi

We ought to treat them with kind

At 2:30 o'clock this morning the
watch officer Of the Richmond made
a note in the ships log that the
Italian plane had apparently sunk
at that hour.
The Italian aviator and his compan-
ions. together with Silvio Marescalche,
refused to leave the rail Of the Rich
mond until the Pickering flames that
had marked the death gasps of their
plane grew fainter and fainter, and. a
minute after the explosion, disap-
peared altogether. indicating that the
sea had claimed another victim. Then
they turned into the wardroom and
were served coffee and sandwiches.
The men had been adrift in these
icy waters for nearly 96 hours. but
aside from being thoroughly fatigued

effects from their experience. Mare

BERGAMO, Italy, August 26.-Al-
most simultaneously with the news
that Lieut.. Locatelli was safe came a
letter from the intrepid aviator to his
mother. describing his adventures
thus far and expressing confidence in
his ultimate success.
1T is my desire" said Locatelli. in

flight thus far has gone we'll. and
will continue. I feel as il I were TAX

We have ships which protect US
and il we descend to the ocean we
have enough food and drink for
Is or 20 days. A hydroplane goes
as we'll on the sea as a torpedo
boat. If by chance for several days
there is no news of us, there is no
need whatever to be anxious: we can
make motor repairs aboard. or if there
is fog we can descend and await its
lifting.
TT might even happen that between
periods Of bad weather we would
have to take shelter in some ford OF
river along the coast while awaiting

Stan Correspondent of The Star

On BOARD U. S. S. RICHMOND,
UNDER WAY TO INDIAN HARBOR,
Labrador, August 25 (via wireless).-
The stanch little monoplane in
which Lieut.. Antonio Locatelli had
hoped to carry the Italian flag across
the North Pole rests today at the bot
tom OF this northern sea.
While the gallant Italian aviator
and his three companions, Tullo
Crosco. Giovanni Braccini and Bruno
Garctnilli. looked on with anguished
faces, their faithful ship was de-
stroyed early this morning, shortly
after they had been rescued by the
crew of the Richmond, just as hope
or ever finding them seemed useless
1t seemed rather a cruel fate that
virtually the same treachery that put
Lieut.. Leigh Wade out of the Ameri-
can round d-theworld flight near the
Farce Islands should have accounted
for Lieut.. Locatelli's plane, too-the
very ship that saved him from a
watery grave was the means of blast
ing the most cherished dream of his
career.
Scarcely had the excited Italian
flyers been hauled aboard the deck
of the Richmond when a huge wave
swept the plane against the side of
the vessel, crushing it's wings to
splinters minute later. while
sailors were fighting desperately to
make the monoplane fast, second
wave crushed her metal nose against
the Richmond and it was seen that
she was a total wreck.
I'm sorry, so sorry," was all Lieut..
Locatelli could say as he gave orders
for his men to strew the deck of the
plane with oil soaked waste and apply
torch. As the flames flashed over
the fuselage, the Richmond back ed

PENDANTS. We have contended that
they did not have such opportunity.
by this we meant that they could
not discover in that brief talk in the
crowded office of the States attorney
the very things that should have been
sought 1t has appeared that all that
DR.. William o. Krohn found in these
boys were positively consistent with the
mental conditions which we showed"
Mr Bachrach emphasized that DR..
Krohns conclusions were based on
negative findings, and that DR.. Hugh T..
Patrick, another State alienist, had also
brought out that there was no evil
dence" of psychopathic conditions.
Mr.. Bachrach argued that lack of
emotion showed in developed cases of
insanity, and that its absence in the
defendants, admitted by all the alien
lists except DR.. Krohn, was evidence
of mental sickness.
He quoted testimony by defense
alienists that 'phantasies are day
dreams which compensate the child
for absence of reality"
He then declared that persistence
of childish phantasies through adoles-
cence was the best kind of evidence
Of diseased minds.
The conclusions Of defense alienists
that the boys have "paranoid person
alities' were presented, and then Mr.
Bachrach turned back to facts in the
crime. Points emphasized by the
State as aggravation were interpret
ed as evidence in themselves of the
irrational nature Of the crime.
THE last word OF the defense is
that your honor do not visit upon
the families of these boys tn indeli'
