AT THE STRAND

Dual roles on stage and screen are always fascinating. Such DOT trayal usually involves a number of lightning changes. The character walks off in one garb and immedi- ately comes back dressed in a strik- ingly different fashion. He speaks to an indistinctly seen character who is supposed to be his dual self and then projects his own voice in answer to his question. It is an intriguing stimulation.
 Rapid changes are seen 10 great advantage in Brothers" the Co., lumbia dramatic production star ring Bert Lytell scheduled to come to the Strand theater on Thursday for days with acts Of vaudeville. In this film a twin unlike in dress. manner and character is interpreted by Bert Lytell.
 He plays the part of Bob Naugn- ton, son Of wealthy foster parents he is an aristocrat to his finger tips, perfectly dressed, faultless in his diction and d rising young lawyer in the city where he lives. At the same time. and as effectively, he is young Eddie Connolly. piano player in Oily Joe's Cafe. He is an untutored. uncultured lad of the streets whose dress is shabby, lan guage that of = Bowery character the very antithesis of his brother.
 The film adaptation of Brother" with Bert Lytcll in the leading role follows his playing of the role on the New York stage for a brilliant and successful season and his equal ly triumphant presentation of the play on the west coast.

Miami, Fla, Dec. (UP)-Mrs J. M. Keith -Miller's story of the cir cumstances surrounding her unex- pected landing on Andros Island in the Bahamas was brought here last night by John Liggett. one of her financial packers. from Nassau, where he interviewed the Austral- iIn flier.

 Mrs. Miller gave the following &C., count of her experiences:
 "I am most unhappy about my self. As an experienced fler I feel ashamed to think 1 failed to reach my objective.
 Those who suggested that I might. for publicity purposes, do such a thing, are .lespicable. I hope my reputation IS a sportsUom- an is good enough to refute such as that.
 Gale Interferes
 Contrary to reports that were current, I took off with a favorable weather report and flew on the compass course which was in abso- lute conformity for one hour. At the end Of that time a terrific gale from the west carried me far to the east.
 Visibility was good all the time and heavy storm clouds hung over head. I went down close to the water to try to check the direction of the wind. It then occurred to me that I might be in the Gulf of Florida.
 Climbing 1000 feet I stayed up about five hours until I saw pale green water underneath so I new must be near land A haze devel- oped with squaIly weather east and west. Two fishing boats were an rhored> in smooth water below. These I circled hoping the men on board could indicate the direction to Miami. The colored crew did not comprehend so I just continued my course. saw land and thought it was Florida, as my map tallied with the surrounding country.
 Gas Runs Low
 The gas was running low and had to land. l came down with out apparent damage. I walked 16 miles to the telegraph station at Mangrove Bay to let everyone know I was safe.
 But Hound the wires were not working. The sea was too rough for any boat to leave for Nassau, the nearest point of communication, 20 I had 10 delay until the storm abated."
 Mrs. Miller, Liggett said, and "pancaked' her plane to earth on Andros Island without injury to herself. She was very stiff from the long walk to the telegraph station, however. A fisherman named Cavill an Australian who claimed to have held the world swimming cham pionship more than a quarter of a century ago, took Mrs. Miller to Nassau in his boat.

 In another case the site for a big plant was selected three miles from water. It finally became necessary to dam nearby small streams, the dam being so constructed that the plant may be a loss some day.
 S.
