ENGLAND RETAINS
 SCHNEIDER TROPHY
American Plane Fails in Test,
 Italian Pilot Is Killed

Annapolis, Md, Aug, 2G (P-After two weeks of futile trials, Lieut.. AL ford Williams has given up his at tempts 10 get the Mercury racer, the tiny seaplane with which h. hoped the United States could cap ture the Schneider Cup, speed tro phy, off the water and into the air in tests which would satisfy the navy department that his ship was wor- thy of competing.
 The navy speed ace abandoned his idea yesterday after three at tempts had failed, the second Of which was under perfect conditions and which proved that the 24 cyl inder motor did not have enough power to get the 4.0oO pound craft off the water and into the air for the speed trials.
 The failure leaves the Unitel States without an entry for the Schneider cup, and places Englanl as the sole nation to compete, the Italian government having with drawn its team yesterday following the death of Captain Giuseppe Mot ta it's leading pilot, and the loss Of

his plane.
 Williams, however, according 70 Lieutenant Commander John Pop pen, who has been the pilots spokas- man, will install new motor in the ship and make an attempt to then get the craft into the air in an cf- fort to set q new speed record for scaplanes over the three kilometer course.
 Motor Lacks Power
 Sundays tests were conducted in Eastern Bay, an arm of the Chesa- pcakv, after the Severn river at the Naval Academy here had been abau- doned. The first test came to grief when the propeller vibration became too great. The second, held under conditions described as perfect, fail ed, and it fas then that officials said that the motor simply did not have the power to get the ship into the air. The third attempt failed when lack of sufficient gas pressure stalled the motor.
 Tomorrow would have been the last day Williams could possibly have made {, successful test and had the ship i'll New York in time to sail Tuesday, the latest possible date in time to reach Cowos, England, for the races.

 The splen9idly measured tempo of the story, it's constantly maintain ed suspense and its highly dramatic climax combine to make this pie ture one of the best mystery offer lngs of the year.

POOR FARM INMATE
 FOUND TO BE RICH
S3,000 Found in Rage and Cans
 by Capital Police

Washington, Aug. 26 CP-The na- tional capital probably has one of the wealthiest inmates of a poor farm in the country.
 She is Miss Blanche MacGruder eccentric bedrdden spinster, who is now known to have had S3,0O0 n cash hidden in her old home. No one knows yet how much more IS concealed there.
 When police were notified one night recently that a crowd of negro boys were in the vacant frame house where the woman had lived better she was taken to the poor farm. they investigated and found the group had been searching for money they believed was hidden there.
 Since then for three days, the search was conducted by police, un- court order. In bundles of old rags, in rusted tin boxes, in moulded envelopes hidden in crevices they found coins and bills with a face value of s3.OO0. Some of She coins. they believe, may be worth even more to collectors because of their age.
 Two more rooms filled with rub bish remains to be searched before the treasure quest is ended.

 "River of Romance" based upon the famous Booth Tarkington play, Magnolia has everything that is desirable Tn talking picture. It has a gripping plot, actors who can talk and wear period costumes, local at- inospkere and romantic theme that rolls softly through the colorful scenes of southern life in the 1S40's like the languid Father of Waters" itself.
 It IS new kind Of role for Buddy Rogers.

MAURICE CHEVALIER-STR

When Maurice Chevalier made his debut at the Ziegfeld Frolic in New York in February the critics of the metropolis were as one in sounding his praises. They said that he was Will Rogers, Charlie Chaplin and Al Jolson all under one straw hat, and they predicted that the film he had just finished making in Hollywood, his first for the moving picture pub lie. would be great success.
 That film, "Innocents of Paris" was presented at the Strand theater yesterday for four days and the ac- claim with which it was greeted by Strand theater audiences shows that the New York critics had made a perfect score. Cheyalier is a great success! .,-..
 "Innocents of Paris" deals with the rise of a pushcart- peddler and singer, who gets his chance, and makes good on the stage. The scenes are laid in the French capital. The supporting cast is excellent in spite of the fact that Chevalier is the kind Of star who doesn't need sup port.
 To sum up-no man.. woman or child should fail to see this king of minstrelsy and pantomime, Maurice Chevalier.
 On Thursday Jack Mulhal will be featured in the first dual role talk ing picture ever made, Dark Streets. There will also be vaude- vile program offered.
