Truth to tell there are not many

have curbed the production of stage
shows.
Every season there are fewer the

that producers are limiting their out

The test flight viii be made in about
80 days by ex-Navy Pilot r. Oelze,
who is convinced that the device is
practical and will employ his own
plane, which is now being remodeled
at San Diego, so that the parachute
may be installed. Oelze says he will
take the plane UP between 5000 and
5000 feet, stall 1t completely and rely
on the parachute alone to bring the
plane and himself to earth.
