Body and Soul" is an aviation story written by one of the mast famous of American aviators. and while. it has World war background. it is not war picture, except for a thrilling fight between a lone Ameri- can aviator and half dozen German Fokkers, shown at the Fox-Poli Palace on the giant magnascope screen extending completely across the stage.

Miss Landi is beautiful blonde. type and a splendid dramatic actress.

"CIMARRON" WITH RICHARD DIX TO OPEN DAY REQUEST ENGAGEMENT STARTING TO- MORROW AT THE STRAND.

rlVe tetIHS are pretty sure to pe of a high order-Philadelphia, Cleveland. Then. too, Chicago should be much better than last
 have no illusions about the task ahead of me with the Yankees. The pitching staff showed signs of umbling during the latter days of Miller Higgins. Last year the Yam kees made enough hits to win a pennaat in any league, and scored more runs than any other team in the majors, but they didn't get close to the flag. The fault was partly with the pitchers.
 The defense needs attention. The best pitchers in t.ie world can be made to lock foolish when the iIl- fielders and outfelders are not clicking as q machine. In team pitching last season the Yankees were seventh. which bespeaks the need of another first class pitcher or two. But the defense, by errors of omission as we'll as commission, must come in for careful examina- tion before the pitchers are all con- demned. The Yankees were no bet ter than sixth in club fielding dur ing 1850.
 A team almost has to have fast combination working around second base. If you look over the great teams of the past, you will find. al- most invariably, that the old double play boys were on the job.
 I am glad we will have little Joe Swell, formerly of Cleveland. Having Joe around, there is little more lee way in working on the infield lineup. Joey may win place as a regular if any of the young fellows miss fire, and with Sewell. Gehrig, Laz- zeri, Lary, Chapman and Reese. all of them with big league, experience, and Bill Werber from Albany, to work with, an efficient infield com bination should be forthcoming.
 We have 8 number of young men that I am anxious to see when We get going this spring. There is Myril Hoag, the outfielder from Walker. by the way; Catchers Kar- lon and Padden, and Pitchers Jim Weaver, from Baltimore; Lefty Weinert, from Louisville; Frank Barnes from Toronto; Vernon Gomez from St Paul; Gordon Rhodes from Hollywood, and others.
 
 A lot of problems will have to be settled at St Petersburg, where every rookie will have all the chance in the world to make good. This ought to be a pretty good year for the rockies, as I am an American league rookie myself, and stand will ing to be convinced. Give me a month. or two with the Yankees and I think I will know what it's all about, however.I was a stranger 10 the National league when I tock charge of the Cubs Baseball is pretty much the same i'll all leagues. Two former big league managers-Art Fletcher and Jimmy Burke, the coaches-offer about the best assistance a man could ask.

D. w. GRIFFITH'S ABRAHAM LINCOLN" AND MAURICE CHE
 VATJL,R AT NEW GARDEN

D. w. Griffith's Abraham Lin- coln," showing at the New Garden theater for the last times to-day, is pictorial drama at its greatest. Though the picture possesses all of the ingredients of an historical spec tacle-big sets, battle scenes and mobs-its greatness is founded on the simplicity of it's direction and the sympathetic treatment of its TO- mantle and tragic scenes.
 The whole of Iincoln's life is pa raded on the screen. from the time of his birth to his assassination at Ford's theater in Washington just as he had realized a successful con- clusion to the Civil war.
 D. w. Griffith has not grown maudlin in his direction of this United Artists picture because Lin coln happened to be his personal He has taken the gaunt giant and put him to work retracing the inn portant incidents Of his remarkable life.
 Lincoln's heroic figure is seen in all its multiplicity of strange moods. The artistry with which this feat in characterization is accomplished is largely due to the superb acting of Walter Huston.
 The companion feature Is Maurice Chevalier in "Playboy of Paris Every woman must be loved in her own peculiar way!" according to Maurice Chevalier. Tn "Playboy of Paris" he puts this theory into prac- tice and loves three women in three ways at one time! It's a riot!
 The short subjects are 'Loney- tune' and one of the Nagger series with Mir and Mrs Jack Norworth.
 Coming tomorrow, for two days, is Jackie Coogan and Mitzi Green in from Sawyer" the Mark Twain classic. Also Free Love" with Con- rad Nagel and Genevieve Tobin.
