INSTRUMENTATION Ark"

"Noahs Ark proving itself sturdy
vessel, automatically. sailed Saturday
into its third majestic week at the
Metropolitan. There can. by now, be
scarcely anything left of its adventures
and symbolism that is unknown to
washington film patrons One would
almost suspect that these last audi
ences were made up largely of sec
ond timers" so generously has this
magnum opus been attended In the
first two weeks.
For the benefit of those who have
not heretofore learned details pertaining
to the picture. it may be stated that
it represents the effort of the Warner
Bros Vitaphone organization to give
the world thrilling Photographic &C
count of the flood, as described in the
Bible, in conjunction with modern
sequences based on the World War.
From these paralleled cataclysms is
drawn a moral of world publication,
once by a flood of water. and later by
a deluge of blood. Every resource Of
movie stagecraft was adopted to the
securing of an impression of grandeur
in the film. Any one who has seen 1t
can tell you how well the producers
have succeeded.

LITTLE THEATER--"Othello."

with Emil Jannings in the title role of
"Othello." 1t Is a solidly artistic ver-
such an order as to put this portrait OF
the Moor well up among the memo

German studios, a contrast detrimental
to some of his efforts while on Amer. an

The Iago of Werner Graus, imagi-
native beyond question, struck at least
one viewer as a little too Mephistophel-

how Shakespeare's complex characters
must be played, as certain interpreta-

Kraus' projection of Iago as sort OF

in some scenes, will be acceptable to
most spectators. No one can reasonably
say that 1t was not intelligent dramat-

AVIATION MEN AWAIT HOOVER'S DECISION
 ON AIR CABINET JOB
By WILLIAM E. BERcHTcLD
 GA. p. Aviation Editor)

WASHINGTON, Jan 15.-Return of Presideat-eleet Hoover to Amer ican soil has resulted in renewed speculation as to his policies eon- corning the future of aviation
 References to the future of air travel in addresses delivered on his Latin American tour have stimulated discussion among lead CTS in the aeronautical indu5try, who now await the president-elect's first official action on aviation matters aeronautical activities of war, navy and commerce dapart- ments.
 In aecordance with custom, the three assistant secretaries for aeronautics will submit their resig- nations to the incoming adminis- tration. They are F. Trubae Dayi- son, assistant secretary of war for aviation; Edward P Warner, as- sistant secretary of navy for avia- ton, and William P Maccracken, assistant secretary of commerce for aeronautics.
 The posts were created only two years ago when legislation was en- acted upon the recommendation of President Coolidge after his con- sideration of the Morrow board re- port.
 President Coolidge selected three young men-a professor of aero nautics from Massachusetts Insti- ute of Technology for the navy post, a Chicago lawyer who had been chairman of the American Bar association committee on avi- ation laws for the commerce. of flee and former naval aviator who has been close to areonautical developments since the war for the war assistant secretaryship.
 Chief speculation now centers around whether MT. Hoover will continue these men in his official family and whether they will ac- cept reappointment
 Almost simultaneously with the expiration of the terms of the three cabinet officers the term of Rear Admiral William A. Mof- felt, chief of the navy's bureau of aeronautics, will end in March. According to naval custom and routine. Admiral Moffett would not be continued as administrative head Of naval aviation. The navy department, too, is in the midst of it's five year building program, which includes the development of two huge dirigibles in which Ad- miral Moffett has taken especial interest.

KELLOCG PACT FIGHT TAXES

Interpretationists Take Or fensive Resolu-
 ton by Reed

WASHINGTON, Jan l5.- -Sena- tors favoring interpretation of the Kellogg treaty, yesterday frustrat- cd another proposal to limit de- bate on the pact resulting in open ing the door to secret negotiations in an effort to straighten out the situation.
 The interpretationists took the offensive during the day with Senator Reed offering a resolu- ton directing the Foreign Rela- tions Committee to submit a re- port embodying the view ws of Chairman Borah, expressed on the floor of the Senate.
 Senators Reed, Moses and Bing- ham, who are leading the fight for the committee report on the treaty, declared they are ready to agree to a vote on the treaty, provided they obtain a vote on Reeds reso- lution. This was after two hours of pickering on the floor for an agreement.
 Senators Borah and Reed finally did some plain talking on their differences.
 Senator Reed said: "All We ask is that we shall say formally what you have said informally. None of us are trying to block ratifica- tion of this pact. Personally I think it would have been better to have left undone what has been done, in writing this treaty, but it has been written and we cannot afford negative expressions carried in it but we hope to avert some dangers which some of us believe turk in it. We ask merely for a report by the Foreign Relations Committee constructing the treaty in the words of the Committee Chairman"
