HAINES STARS
AS A SCREEN
BAD MAN

"Alias Jimmy Valentine" the
Metro-G -Goldwyn-Mayer talking
picture which is now playing at
Loew's Columbia, demonstrates
the amazing versatility of the
star, William Haines.
Haines was born at Staunton,
Va. and first won his reputation
as a "wisecraoker" in the films.
In his new picture he plays an
intensely serious and dramatic
role as the safecracker who re-
forms through the influence of
the girl he loves.
When Biiou Fernandez was
looking for new screen faces ,or
the old Goldwyn company back
in 1891, she encountered Haines
on the street and persuaded him
to have a screen test. The re-
suits were so satisfactory that the
actor was sent Immediately to the
West Coast.
He began his screen career with
q small part in Three Wise
Fools. His upward progress
after that was constant. His most
successful pictures include "Ex-
cess Baggage Telling the
World" ''The Smart SET. " west
Point" Spring Fever" ''Slide,
Kelly, siide,' Brown of Har.
ward and ''Tell 1t to the Ma.
rtnes..'
Haires Is q charming, unassum.
ing chap. q six.footer with black
hair and brown eyes. His hobbies
are reading and music. e1thoueh
he Is 4 very successful athlete and
plays all sports well. Possessing
the most unique personality on the
screen, Haines Is declared to have
the most promising future OF any
star now in pictures.

Across the Atlantic via Yep.
pelin" features Lady Drummond
Hay, famous correspondent of the
Hearst newspapers, and DIR. Hugo
Eckener, the intrepid commander
of the Graf Zeppelin. Lady Hay,
the first and only woman to cross
the Atlantic from Europe to
America, wildly describes the trip
in this sensational picture, while
DIR. Eckener's voice will be heard
for the first time in America by
theater.goers.
Thrills are no new thing for
Lady Drummond Hay, yet she de-
scribes her experiences on the
voyage across the Atlantic via
Zeppelin as the most thrilling OF
all her career. Lady Drumrnond
Hay, despite her youth and her
position in English society. is one
of the most famous literary lights
Of the world. She Is best known
and likes to be known as a news
writer, covering big assignments
wherever they call her and taking
her chances with the other famous
correspondents of the opposite sex.
She has been all over the world
writing news stories for the Hearst
papers and the London Sphere. and
later turning out graphic articles
of her experiences for the leading
magazines of the world.
Lady Drummond Hay returned
from China just as the arrange
ments for the flight Of the Graf
Zeppelin were being completed.
She haatened to Frledrichshafen
but 1t was only after long argt-
ments that DR.. Eckener agreed to
take her along as one of the two
newspaper representatives
Lady Hay asked and received
no favors on the trip across the
Atlantic. During the intensely ex.
citing moments when the Zeppelin
was caught in a storm which dis.
abled one of the fins and caused
her to buck like an untamed
broncho, Lady Hay. according to
the other passengers, was the
least alarmed person on the ship.
In this talking picture, Across
the Atlantic via Zeppelin" !" Lady
Drummond Hay describes ia. de.
tail this most thrilling and dra-
matte scene aboard the Zeppelin.
She tells of the bravery of Knote
Eckener, who was the first to
step forward when his -ather,
the commander, asked for yolun.
teers among the seamcn to take
the perilous trip aloft. to repair
the tattered fin.
Lady Hay describes most
vividly, too. the enthusiasm to
which those aboard gave vent
as land was first sighted in the
gray dawn. In addition TO these
vivid descriptions one hears in
this remarkable picture ali Of
the sounds that came to the
ears of those aboard the ship
during its great flight--the
jubilant cries Of the workman as
the Zeppelin rose gra eefully away
from its hangar at Friedrich
slfafen; the singing OF school
children az the great silver bird
passed over the villages and
towns Of Germany; the ringing OF
church bells; the greeting blast
OF q steamer far below as the
Zeppelin sped across the Atlantic;
the screeching of hundreds OF
sirens in New York harnor, and
the shouts Of acclaim from hun.
dreds Of thousands Il enthus.
iastic spectators who lined the
streets and tops of buildings in
