altitude for parachute jumps which
would save his life and that Of his

CALCULATIONS of Army chiefs for his
GOODNESS and courage.
The sergeant, Paul L. Woodruff,
of the Eighty-first Observation
Squadron, Crissy Field, Cal, was
flying 500 feet above Salt Lake
City. Utah, with Lieut.. c. Is. Whit
ney, Air Corps Reserve, as an OBJ
server. when the aileron control
wire broke, leaving the ship with
no lateral control, according to the
official report received here reday.
Fearing that he did not have
sufficient altitude for safe use of
parachutes, the sergeant fought to
keep the plane from falling into a
fatal spin and finally, at a height
of 1000 feet, he signaled to the
lieutenant to jump.
When Lieutenant whitney jumped
the loss of his weight threw the
plane out of control, and it went
into a dive. Staying with his
ship only long enough to close the
ignition switch and prevent a fire,
Sergeant Woodruff climbed out of
his seat and prepared to jump. BY
the time he jumped clear the plane
was only 500 feet above the ground.
His parachute opened just in time
to break his fall and save his life.
The plane was completely demolished.

SHUBERT BEI.ASCO-"The Road to
Rome"

An author whose name is not ia
miliar In theaters of this city, though
well known in association with clever
print, is Robert f. Sherwood, whose
play, THE Road to Rome. had it's
opening performance at the Shubert
BelaSco Theater last night.
He has produced a thoroughly orig
inal work, irresistible in it's fun con
vincing in its sentiment and audacious
in it's slaughter of historic accuracies
for the sake of sounding a modern
note Of social science.
The play avails itself OF every cur
rent license and goes few steps be-
yond even tht latest privileges of
speech and : gestion. 1t is perhaps
the first play in many seasons that
can claim comparison with the work
of G. Bernard Shaw at his best.
The heroine, wife of Fabius. asserts
the idea laid down in Man and
Superman." that in courtship woman
is naturally the aggressor. on direct
and uncompromising lines. Some of
the talk is bold But it is always
clever One of the most emphatic
charms of the performance is the
manner in which it turns situation
which threatens to he philosophically
profound into a laughing episode.
The curtain rises on a Roman
house. AS the classically clad players
appear the shade of Virginius hovers
for moment-but for moment only.
There is something of d reminder
of " Hamlet in a dress suit" only the
process is reversed as the wearers OF

says the sergeant of company of

ing series of anachronisms, resting it's
claim to consideration squarely on the
fact that love and humanity have
been immutably the same through
out the centuries.
There is an irrepressible franksome-
ness throughout the work worthy of
"a man willing to pause for a little
revenge for the heavy solemnities i'm
