BROMLEY CERTAIN
HE WILL SUCCEED
Flyer Hopes to Start Non
Stop Hop to Tacoma From
Toxic This Week.
~ LIEUT.. HAROLD BROMLEY.
J. --ial Dispatch 20 The Star.


TOXIC, August "a tN.A.N.A0.-
H-rold Gatty my navigator, and hope
to take Of carly this week on our nom
stop fight to Tacoma, Wash. and we
have every conviction that our sturdy
monoplane City of Takoma, will carry
us safely to our destination, 4,779 miles
away across the Pacific.
Virtually all our preparations are
completed. and the anticipation thrills
us and finds us completely confident.
We wish to assure all our many
friends back home, who have been so
kind and helpful to us, that nothing
has been left undone to make this
flight never yet accomplished, q success.
I know that this sounds like old
stuff, but feel earnestly that under
takings such as these, linking nations,
do much to draw countries closer to-
gether in thought and understanding.
Communication has a tendency to
break down whatever barriers of mis-
understanding may exist, and we be-
lieve our flight will make Japan and
the United States even closer friends
than before.
Hopes to Blaze New Trail.
We hope that by this flight we will
blaze new trail through the skies
that in the early future will be fol-
lowed by mail and passenger planes.
We have received the wholehearted
support of the japanese authorities, and
the warm encouragement OF the Jap
anese people in general. Without their
splendid cooperation the flight would
be impossible.
The Kasumigaura Airport is much
better than we had thought at first.
If a slight uneveness in the runway Is
SuiOOthed out we are certain we will
be able to take of readily with our
heavy load.
Weather conditions over the Pacific
are better than in recent years. We
are receiving daily meteorological re-
ports from the Central Observatory at
Toxic, another example of the helpful
courtesy of the Japanese authorities.
The people of Toxic are vastly in
terested in our preparations, and are
making us happy with their expressed
wishes for our success.
The City of Tacoma, a huge orange
plane, is powered with 425-horse-
power Pratt q Whitney wasp motor
The ship, an EmSco, Is believed capable
of averaging ITO miles an hour with the
aid of the 15-mile an hour wind pre-
vailing over the Pacific from Japan to
the United States.
Plane, fuel and men will weigh APP
proximately 10000 pounds at the take
of. Lieut.. Bromley will be the pilot,
but Gatty is qualified to relieve him
at the controls whenever this becomes
necessary. The ship is equipped with
radio, and the flyers expect to send
and receive messages throughout their
daring flight.

breathing men and women, is said
to be wildly brought to the fore in
william Powell'S first starring pic
ture, Street of Chance" now at the
Ohio theater.
William Powell makes his bow as
a full-fledged star. His portrayal
of Natural Davis, notorious gambler
and sportsman, is said to be easily
the finest, most sincere effort he
has yet given to the audible screen.
The character of Natural Davis
is said to be one Of moods and shad-
ing in which one false note would
break down the effectiveness Of the
character.
AS the gambler who double-crosses
the game" risks his own life and
sacrifices his love for his young wife
in order to prevent his younger
brother from following in his foot
steps as a gambler, Powell's define
alton of character is said to be we'll
nigh perfect.

a slight Swedish accent. 1t is further
stated that studio CONSERVATION was
no little increased when Miss Carlo
+ refused to take a voice test.
! That she must have been possessed
with the utmost confidence in re-
gard to her voice qualifications is
( indicated by the report that once
| in front of the microphOne, Miss
/ Carlo broke all existing records for
unbroken length of talking sequence
/ her very first running almost nine
minutes and using up nearly 1000
feet of film. which is the capacity
load for camera magazines.
It is said many of the subsequent
scenes ran nearly the same length
the average being four minutes long,
but the dramatic action demanding
from six to eight minutes each. The
unusual length of these sequences
was determined by Miss CARLOS in
sistence on learning her lines by en-
tire scenes rather TRAN by bits.
When the throwback was heard fol-
lowing completion of the initial
scenes all apprehension regarding
CARLOS voice was dismissed, the
recording proving TO be perfectly at
tuned to the requirements.
The worry over microphone haz-
ards once over, Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer went ahead with extensive
preparations for the production
which is expected to set a new ex-
ample for artistry on the screen.
Particular stress was laid on the
water front settings which play an
important part in the drama. Strict
adherence to actual conditions was
demanded in protraying the old
cobblesConed paving on West street
against which the barge docks jut-
ted, the background of grimy ware
houses and gas tanks, the gaudy
saloons, the horSe-drawn drayS and
other characteristics Of the time.
An old barge was acquired and
reftted to conform with ONeill's
description with its cabin contain
ing the typical tin wash basin, oil
lamp, stove gramophone, rickety
table and stuffy bunkroom.
A reproduction of a section of
COney Island was built showing the
beer gardens. Eden Musee, merry

by inclusion of the clatter and din
common to the surroundings.

aggregation which was organized in
Canada two years ago, will start the
second and last week of their en-
gagement on the Indiana Roof to-
night.
Although made up of a young
group of musicians, the Tennis Or
ganization does not confine itself
to the newest tunes. They carry a
library of old favorites, with the
result that their dance programs
are in accordance with the new
vogue in the musical world which
calls for the favorite melodies OF
from five to ten years ago.
IN speaking of this revival Of old
tunes, Tom Devine, Roof manager
said: Strange to say most Of the
melodies revived are either of the
blues or sweet type. Such old hits
as whispering" who's Sorry
Now?" Somebody Loves Me" anC
Wabash Blues" are among the mel
odies which bring back memories to
the older dancers and have the ap-
peal of new tune for the younger
dancers"
Following the close of their en-.
gagement on the Roof, Tennis and
his Rhythm Kings will go to Terre
Haute where they are offered To-
cation engagement.
