Airplanes and hand signals took the place of the megaphone while Howard Hawkes. and Lew Seller made ''The Air Circus" Fox Films production coming to the Palace theater tomorrow.
 In this aviation picture the trio of young principals. comprising David Rollins, Arthur Lake and Sue Carol, actually learned to fly. since the theme of the story is that young America takes to the air. inspired by the Lindbergh example.

"OREST HILLS, N. Y, September
L with the French stars out
Of the lists, only one foreign
Il player seems to stand In the
way Of an American victory in
the national tennis singles champion
ship tournament. starting today.
He Is Henry w. Bunny Austin OF
England, who has made tremendous
strides in the game in the past year.
There are other foreign contenders. in
Guiding Austin's compatriots, John 9.
Oliff and Z. r. Avory; the South
African, Norman G. Farquharson: the
Cuban, German Upmann. and the
Greek, @. M. Pappadopoulo.
But Austin is the only Of these that
seems to have any chance OF reaching
the final round. AS q matter of fact,
there is considerable doubt whether
Austin can get that far, for ne is IN

American luminaries as Big Bill Tilden.

Pre-championship calculation fore

Tilden and George Lott of Chicago,
with Big Bill favored to win the title
for the seventh time. Lott is seeded at
the top Of the lower half of the draw
and finds Avory, Fritz Mercur of Beth

Hunter Of New Rochelle, N. Y, and
Gregory Mangin Of Newark in the same
half.
Barring upsets, Tilden and Doeg will
clash in one semi-f1nal next Friday
and Lott and Mangin or Farquharson In
the other. The finals next Saturday
will be notable chiefly because no
Frenchman will be in them for the
first time since 1925, when Tnden won
his sixth national crown by beating
little Bill Johnston. Rene Lacoste won
in 1926 by beating Jean Borotra and
repeated in 1927 at Tilden's expense

his compatriots, elected not to enter

BY VINCENT RICHARDS,

Professional Tennis Champion OF the World.
T HERE is a popular belief that
champions never come back
after they are beaten, but II
William Tilden doesn't come
back to regain his national ten
mis- championship in the tourney that
begins today I will miss my guess.
The main reason why ! think Big
Bill is slated to come through Is be-
cause the French aren't in 1t this time.
For the last three years Rene Lacoste
and Henri Cochet have copped the title,
Lacoste in 1926 and 1927 and Cochet In
1928 If either of the two Frenchmen
were on the firing line my money would
be on them, but since they are not the
title is due to remain in this country
for a change and Tilden ought to be the
man to grab 1t.
Bunny Austin, England's greatest lit
tie player, is the outstanding foreign
threat, but I don't think that he can
beat Tilden. In England Austin Is half
is better at least than he Is In this
country. So every one that sees him
claims, and I am not surprised, for he
hasn't done anything In this country 70
