BROTHER FELTE.S TELLS OF
 PLANE ACCIDENT AT
 kOTZEBUE, RECENTLY

The following interview was ob- tained from Brother Feltes, pilot Of the ill fated plane which crashed at Kotzebus recently. Brother Feltes and Farher Post arrived by NAT plane this week from kotze- bue after preparing the bodies of Fouhers Delon and Walsh for ship rnent to the States on the steamer Baldwin. The story concerning the accident is as follows:
 The Mission plane had been warmed up thoroughly and the motor had been ranning for about 40 minutes while Pilot Ralph Wien waited for two small snow flurries to so by. When the sun came out. be took the plane up for a trial flight as he always did before talk ing anyone for a trip. When he landed, he reported to Brother Eel tes that everything was just fine The two priests, Fathers Walsh and Delon then got in to go for 2 short hop Brother Feltes decid- ed not to so because the field was rather slow for a take-off and there was no wind and he did not want to add his weight unneces- sarily to the plane Wien made q good take off and made a wide circle of about mile and seemed to get into some little snow. We suppose this collected on the wind shield to a certain extent and inn paired his vision forward and he decided to come in and land. He idied .is ,l'tcr an %.i ed fer tn" field but found that he was too high to make the landing and turn ed. on his motor again and turned to the right and went back about a mile to come in lower, Just be- fore making the turn back. he shu, down his motor about half and started to make a short left turn
 He seemed to have the nose of the plane rather high and the plane stalled and the nose went down and the plane fell out of control

in tight spiral.
 The snow on his windshield un- doubtedly caused him to misjudge his speed and the position of the plane in the turn. After complet- ing about full turn in the spiral, l he got the nose straight down to regain his speed, which is the pro- per way to get out of a spin or the proximity of one. and turned on hls motor again about fifty feet from the ground, but he did not have enough altitude and the plane struck the ground head-on at speed of perhaps hundred miles an hour and remained with the tail sticking straight up in the air. The people all ran out to the scene of the accident as fast as possible and it was evident at Iany of the three surviving.
 Brother Feltes was the first to get into the plane and start to pull the bodies out All were badly broken and everything inside the cabin and baggage compartment was piled in heap on top of the i bodies and motor, which had been driven into the frozen tundra about foot or so.
 The bodies we're pulled out as fast as possible and the coroner who was present, pronounced them dead immediately. The remains were then taken to the village and prepared for burial by MT. George dock and Miss Carlson In a very efficient manner. Two of the carpenters, working on the new hospital, volunteered to prepare the coffins for the remains.
 On Tuesday the Alaskan Airways plane, piloted by Pilot Robbins and accompanied by Manager Arthur Johnson, came from Nome in the Fairchild plane to fake the re- mains of MT Wien to Fairbanks. ! The remains were put in the plane and they immediately started for Fairbanks, arriving there at eight o'clock in the evening.
 Father Post came from Nome in an NAT plane the same day to take charge temporarily, until the ar- rival Of Father B LaFortune, who had been asked to come from King Island situated in Bering Sea The captain of the NOrthland kindly

DI1IlLlB anu COO- JOHN GILBERT
ing, but laughed cruelty at the
expositions they had formerly
greeted with thrills and gulps.
John Gilbert was, perhaps,
chief Of the lovers to feel the
chilly breeze Of popular disap-
proval. For some time now he
has been trying to regain his
earlier place.
In way For Sailor" aL
Loew's Palace this week, it is
evident that he is trying nightly
and probably will succeed. He
has altered in divers respects his
repertoire Of tricks. He has re-
moved his mustache, and has i'm
proved his voice. He indulgeS
in few clinches with fair danes,
and few are the words Of love
he addresses to his chosen one.
He has the part Of a sailor
who posters pains takingly the
blonde Leila HyamS, clerk in a
shipyard office. YEARLY she re-
pulses him for two years, during
his infrequent visits ashore. Then
she weakens. The. sailor pro-
feSSes to have given UP the sea,
and she marries him. But she
learns from him, just after the
ceremony, that he has fooled her
that he plans to return to his
ship that very night. We will
leave the rest of the story for
the film to tell you.
It is an unusual little story,
and is generally Straightforward
and fairly convincing.
AS a matter of fact, it is Mr..
Wallace Beery who steals the
picture from Mr.. Gilbert. Mr..
Beery is an amiable clown in the
role of a sailor who yearns pas
sionately for a Eureka concertina
with vox humana and tremolo
stops. The well-known ex-tramp
and author, Jim Tully. who
mixed fists with Gilbert in Holly
wood not so long ago, has a
prominent part also, and does
not badly at all.
The comedy Of the picture is
rough and blowSy. It keeps life
in the play without seeming to
be extraneouS to the story.
On the stage, Dave Schooler is
presented in a fine Birthday
Party" presentation, featuring
three lightning dancing men, a
gorgeous blonde who sings and
has a keen sense of comedy, and
another comedienne whose act is
novel and delightful. The Hearst
Metrotone News concludes the

About Amos n Andy

Second thoughts on, the Amos
"a Andy picture, "Check and
Double Check" conjure up com
parsons. "You say Corren and
Gosden are good actors. Do you
think they can act as good as
Mcintyre and Heath?" pens l..
j. B., and drops the note in my
letter box for q reply. Well,
no. think the Correll and
Gosden team is at its best COM
ing through the loud speaker
Radio is their most effective
medium.
According to &my radio econ
ception of Andy, the late Bert
Williams would have made the
ideal screen president Of the
Fresh Air Taxicab Company.
Andy has a voice almost exactly
like that of Jim Mcintyre. Of
Mcintyre and Heath, which fits
perfectly the characterization he
projects over the radio, but he

the part.
However, apart from the sappy
story, Check and Double Check
is a corking first try and made it
plain that Correll and GoSden
do not need Sue Carols or other
white-face actors to row their
boat. My main dissent on the
picture was Amos makeup. ]
think some pencilled frowns
would have added age to the
character and perhaps relieved it
Of that constant youth, good
nature and intelligence which
seeped through the black veneer.
Andy I would have slicked up
& little more. perhaps dolled in
q checkered suit that would have
won the admiration of Madame
Queen and other Harlem bellies.
The Washington times., 1930-10-27


The picture should go over big
because it is immensely anus
ing in those scenes where Amos
and Andy carry on their typical
squabbleS. The lodge meeting of
the Mystic knights of the Sea
with Kingfish presiding is a
scream, and so is the visit Of the
Fresh Air Taxi officials to the
