GERMAN AIR
 LINE IS NOW
 10 YEARS 0LD }

BERLIN, March 26-Germany's youngest traffic institution cele- brates it's tenth anniversary this month. In March, 1919, during the German National assembly at Wei mar, small company with one Junkers airplane established a serv- ice between Berlin and Weimar, carrying members of the conven- tion back and forth.
 This service proved a big success, so it was decided to form the "Lufthansa" company and establish a similar link between the more important centers in Germany.
 Until 1926, the Treaty of Versail- les did not allow Germany to build larger planes and stronger motors, but in spite of that the. company was busy developing and organizing the service in Germany and estab- fishing connections with the neigh boring countries. In the course of these ten years a network of regular lines has been built up leading to all European cities, from Moscow to Madrid; from Oslo to Rome, etc. During 1928 the Luf- thansa extended it's schedule so enormously that 36,000 kilometers are flown daily by the company's planes.
 As far as finances are concerned, the company is not yet making profits, so the German government granted the company a yearly sub sidy. These difficulties will soon be overcome, with the extension of freight service, which is still in it's infancy, the company predicts.

z - "FRECKLES" IS SOON
 COMING TO COLISEUM

Frankie Darro, 8-year-old FBO player deliberately went out into the California sunshine and culti~ vated set of freckles to wear for his part in Gene Stratton- -Porter's "Freckles," which is soon coming to the Coliseum.
 Frankie plays the part Of the child Freckles, an orphan, at the opening of the picture. Even at an early age the famous Gene Stratton-P Porter hero was supposedly marked by a mass of "sun-spots" on his countenance. As artificial freckles are not as realistic looking as genuine once, Frankie, who has a clear unblemished complexion, de- cided to grow a crop of them for the picture.
 But the freckles did not perma- nently injure the skin of the boy, for a few weeks after the picture was finished they disappeared.

HAVANA, March 26.-Cuba at last has it's fashionable beach re- sort, it's public preserve where so- ciety with a capital $" is proud to be seen in bathing deshabille. It is the new La Playa" former gathering pit.oe oI people who loved sea bathing enough to put up with the irritation of steaming cubby holes, an inadequate shower system and the vulgarities of an uncensored crowd.
 La Playa for years has been Ha- vana's only protected bathing place. It is a short stretch of concave sandy beach, measuring in all a little over a quarter of a mile and protected from sharks by a sand bar running across it's mouth. Here nature gave old Havana residents a huge, untroubled swimming pool, and astute conceSsionaires insured resident appreciation of natures bounty at the rate of $120 a day. It was the joy of Havana children and the curse of the exclusive Havana Yacht Club which stood in staid security on it's western edge.
 But in the last year beach geog- raphy and beach manners at La Playa have been transformed. American hotel executives decided it should become another link in the chain of resort properties de- veloped and operated to entice the dollars of rich Americans with tropical charm and up-to- date ssrv- ice.
 La Playa has become rendez- vous for the socially athletic. Re- placing the chocolate colored skins and double duty underwear of hun dreds of its former visitors are the fashionable tan of American girls and the checks and stripes, of the latest thing in bathing suits.
 Socially, the new La Playa" is a huge success. Even Havana Yacht Club members find them selves robbed of the traditional privilege of patronizing the public beach. They swarm over. and through the now useless barbed

Holds On to Charles


 Buddy he was still when he fol- lowed his natural bent for music in orchestra work at college and during vacations, and when, as a college junior, he was selected for training in the Paramount Pictures school
 For some reason, perhaps for the -sake Of dignity, the company en- .deayored to establish him as simply Charles Rogers. But the effort was futile. He was Buddy in Wings, D and the fans, ultimate arbiters in all things cinematic, liked it. They use the name now when they write to him, and the movie houses the country over bill him as Charles (Buddy) Rogers.
 But Buddy is retaining his right to the Charles, too. He intends to stay in pictures "as long as they'll have me-" he says, and if he ever grows up" in the films Buddy might not fit so well.
