SHOWS AIR SKILL
Takes Off and Lands Per-
fectIy Three Times in
First Solo Flight.
specia, Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HICKSvItLE, Long Island, August
24.-Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh, in max
ing her first solo flight at the Aviation
Country Club here yesterday proved
that her husbands condolences in her
was not misplaced by making three per-
feet take-offs and landings.
Mrs. Lindbergh had received a little
more than 10 hours of dual instruction,
Including an hour that she spent in the
air with Col. Lindbergh yesterday morn
ing, before he sent her up alone. This
does not include the time that she has
spent riding with her husband as a
passenger, but only the hours of in
struction at the country club. Ten
hours is the average time spent by fly
ing students in dual instruction, but
many take longer.
Fly Early in Day.
Col and Mrs. Lindbergh were out on
the field at $3.50 o'clock. They have
been stopping at the club while the les
sons have been in progress and have
done most Of their flying in the
morning.
The Clubs Curtiss Fledgling training
plane was ready when they stepped onto
the field. Both strapped on parachutes
and stepped into the little plane in
which Mrs. Lindbergh has received all
of her lessons, Then Col. Lindbergh
informed his wife that he was going to
ask her to fly alone.
But first they flew together for about
an hour, landing frequently and taking
off again. Mrs. Lindbergh was at the
controls most of the time, with her
instructor coaching her when it seemed
necessary.
Then the plane came down for
landing and Col. Lindbergh clambered
out He stood beside the cockpit for
a few minutes to give final instructions
and then waved her away. Mrs. Lind
bergh took off easily, circled the field
and landed. Again her instructor spoke
to her and again he sent her aloft
When she landed the second time Col
Lindbergh sent her away for still an
other fight by herself.
Landings Exceptionally Good.
Satisfied with the progress that she
was making, Col. Lindbergh went into
the clubhouse to make telephone call
while Mrs. Lindbergh was flying in the
vicinity of Hicksville. He was back on
the field when she landed the third
time.
Then he resumed his seat in the
pltne and they went up together. After
antther half hour of practice take-offs
and landings the lesson was concluded
and they returned to the clubhouse:
Members Of the club who watched
the flight said that Mrs. Lindbergh
showed no nervousness when she start
ed for her first solo. She handled the
ship easily, they said, and her take
offs and landings were exceptionally
good for first solo attempt.
Mrs. Lindbergh has flown with her
husband frequently since their mar
rage, and they always slipped away
for airplane rides when he visited her
as Miss Anne Morrow in Mexico City.
During one of their flights there they
were forced to land on a damaged un-
dercarriage The plane turned over
and Col Lindbergh carried his arm in
sling for weeks afterward.

AT THE MOVIES
ELTINGE THEATRE

Depths of tragedy are sounded by
AL Jolson In The Singing Fool the
special production In which he Is pre-
scented by Warner Bros. today at the
Eltinge theatre.
In it he Is revealed as ono OF the
most powerful emotional actors on the
screen His creation is In decided con-
trast to his work as comedian,
though his former work has partially
demonstrated the fcrvor Of which he
is capable.
In THE Singing Fool" he is first
seen as a carefree. wiSe-cracking en-
tertainer-a singing waiter in New
York cabaret-but eventually there
comes to him weight of sorrow and
mental stress that entirely changes
the course of his life. Everything
which he has attained through years
Of striving is suddenly stripped from
him, and the way he meets and copes
with his misfortunes makes q story OF
absorbing heart interest.
Married to a revue star who falls
In love with another man, the singing
waiter suffers torments, which include
the death OF the child to whom he Is
passionately devoted. The Singing
Fool" runs the whole scale OF human
emotions.
Betty Bronson and Josephine Dunn
are seen in the principal feminine
roles, and other well known players In
the cast are Reed Howes, Arthur
Housman, David Lee, Robert Emmett
O'Connor and Edward Martindel. C.
Graham Baker made the adaptation

CON
CAPITOL THEATRE

Charles Farrell Is promised IN a
totally different type of charartcriza-
ton in the title role Of "Fazil." the
new Fox film which will be presented
at the Capitol theatre three days, be-
ginning tonight. In this Howard
Hawks production Farrell, co-featured
with Greta Nisscn. portrays man Of
great self-will. but 1t is quite distinct
from the cocksure confidence Of Chico
In Seventh Heaven" or the dreamy
aspirations of Gino In Street Angel"
The self-assurance Of Chico was the
ingenious and infectious conceit of a
lowly sewer workman who believed
that some day he would reach the
heights. The masterfulness Of Fail is
the inflexiblc assurance of the man
who has arrived. the superb arrogance
Of a prince. For Farrell typifies a
shcik of the desert, a leader Of his
people whose family has belonged
for centuries and who is constantly
but not annoyingly aware Of that fact.
The intensity of his personality is
heightened by the immutable tradi-
tions OF his race, in which he is
stepped. At the same time he has q
youthful impetuosity. He woos a
French girl in a headlong courtsllip
He is a strange and arresting COM
bination Of boy and man.

the last 80 years. who is preparing
now Tor the 45th annual gathering Of

Better equipment has improved
fire fighting efficiency, Reade said,
and the intercs Is as great as ever.
but the contests which featured old
time conventions has been missing for
a number Of years.
In the old days. firemens conven-
ton was something Of interest to the
populace. The contests were classed
as sports. and every companey en-
tered in an event was eager to win.
Among the most spectacular Of the
old-time events was the ladder con-
test and hours of drill were spent by
each company In preparation for the
state contest. The ladder company
which won that event had to be both
fast and accurate, Reade said dur
ing "reminiscences Of the old days.
With husky members on the pull
lines, the ladder outfit dashed madly
down the street. AS it approached
the spot we're the ladder was to be
placed one of the lighter members Of
the company started to mount the

sturdy members. BY the time the
