Experiences of Thomas Meighan, Popular Actor in "YOung Sim
 ners," Proves Lifc of Ease
 Empty Dream
 More than likely, 99 persons out of every 100 dream to retire and en- joy life, but the only real happiness in this world is enjoyed by those who work.
 Such is the philosophy of Thomas Meighan, who two years ago, fol- lowing his triumphant performance in his initial talkie, "The Racket" retired from motion pictures, but re- gently returned to the films to play a featured role as the trainer in drama now playing at the Fox-Poli Palace theater.
 T used to envy the man who did not have to work, now I pity him. was Meighan's terse comment when asked how 1t felt to be back in har- ness. There's nothing in this game of loafing; it's just an empty dream. It sounds all right and one can fool himself for time, but fin ally he reaches the point where he is contented only when engaged in some active pursuit.
 I'm back in pictures and I'm happy for the first time since I sde- cided to retire so I could play golf to my hearts content. I'm tired of golf and loafing but don't think I shall ever tire of work, at any rate the kind of work I am doing now" Meighan portrays the role of the husky Irieh trainer in "Young Sim ners," Fox comedy drama and spent ten days on location during the mak- ing of the snow sequences for the picture. Here the popular star of the silent picture era helped himself and ate his lunch from a tin pan and drank his coffee from tin cup while sur- rounded by his fellow actors and scores of workmen. He was just one of the crowd and happy to be back in pictures.
 Meighan's first motion picture role was as a featured player in "The Fighting Hope," but it was his per- formance in the we'll remembered "The Miracle Man." that attracted world wide attention to him. Many success followed this picture

 It is only few years until huge, mnlti-motored flying boats, with passenger accommodations for 100 tp 200 people will be making reg ularly scheduled. frequent flights across the Atlantic, offering travel CTS every comfort, convenience and safety now offered by the steamship companies.
 1t will then be possible to eat din- ner in New York, motor out to the airport, board one of these giant air liners. enjoy thrilling flight 2 across the ocean and land in Lon don, Berlin or Paris in time for the theater the following evening. In- stead of spending five to seven days on the water the tir trip will require only 24 hours.
 Development of this service, once t Is started. will go forward with greater rapidity than did the devel- opment of commercial aviation in the United States.
 There are many reasons to be- lieye that trans-oceanic passenger services will, in time, become the largest division of commercial f1y- ing. In the first place the saving of time will Sbe greater, and time has always been one of the greatest ob- stacles to ocean travel.
 Another reason for believing that trans-oceanic flying will bevelop rapidly is the fact that some of the chief obstacles encountered in fy- tng over land gre absent from ocean flying. In flying over land high fields, and fogs are the greatest ob- stacles. The high mountains in the western and eastern parts of our country require flying at high alti- tpdos, which seriously handicaps air Transport companies in their effort to use large planes of multiple pas senger capacity. Enormous reserve power is required to lift planes to the high attitudes necessary to clear the mountains. In these noun tain regions landing fields are few and far between.
 In trans-oceanic flying where huge flying boats. capable of alight- ing on the water, are used the ocean provides a continuous landing field, eliminating the necessity of danger ous forced landings.
 Because 1t is possible to fly at low attitudes over the ocean. there being no Instructions at sea. the { RkOOACfH VI AyAh6 dS uASAA oiSAtuOSo, and the resulting need for light, small capacity planes does not ex- ist. It Is possible to fly as low as 50 0 100 feet above the surface of the water.
 Contrary to public opinion, weight is no serious obstacle to airplanes, providing sufficient power Is fur nished to hurl the giant airplanes through the air. Because this is truo 1t is likely that in a few years We will witness the use of planes that bear little resemblance to the planes to which we are accustomed to.day-giant flying boats, powered by six to 12 engines, with three or moxe decks, baths, dining rooms and Kitchens.

Coming Talkie Of Daddy Long Legs"
 Has Fine Cast And Able Direction
By DAN THOMAS : (NEA Sevice Writer)

Hollywood. .--"Daddy Long Legs" provided excellent entertainment some years ago When Mary Pick ford played in 1t, and 1t is still 2 good show, in the forthcoming talkie version.
 Alfred Santell is to be commend ed for directing the picture so as to get the most out of every situation. And the role of Judy Abbott is per- feet for Janet Gaynor. In our opin- ion, nothing she has played in the last two years has suited her as well. With this type of role, needless to say, Janet gives really fine per- formance. As the young girl in an orphanage, she makes you like her just as the younger children like her.
 Warner Baxter, too. is good in the title role of the man who, unknown to Janet, sends her through college and in spite of himself falls in love with her. Of course there are the us- ual complications. of Baxter thinking Janet is in love with college youth, well played by John Arledge. But as in most movies everything ends hap pily by Janet promising to marry Baxter and then learning that he is her daddy long legs.

If England is to keep abreast the strides aviation is talN3ng in the country, it will be necessary to construct 300 additional airports during the next ten years to ade- quately accommodate the increased air traffic. Such is the belief of the Royal Institute of British Architects committee.
 "A chain of airports, one at least for every 20 miles throughout Eng land. should be the aim of the coun- try" report says.
 The committee also advocates that the whole country be thoroughly lair marked" by day and extensively lighted at night to aid in the devel- opment of air lanes.

"A Woman of Experience" Ia SO.SO. With MiSClSt Star


 "A Woman of Exeperience' brings forth Helen Twelvetrees in new type of role to which she is entirely unsuited. This picture is patterned after Marlene Dietrich's "Dishonor- ed" but is far from being in the same class. And after Miss Dietrich's s portrayal of the wartime spy. Helen is rather disappointing. In the first place this young actress is not so- phisticated and never should be cast in such a role. In fairness to Helen. however, we must say that she dees her best.
 Aside from the miscasting of It's star, "A Woman of Experiences" IS not bad entertainment--n you haven't seen "Dishonored." It IS slow in getting started, but once un-' der way the last half of 1t holds your interest pretty well. ,
 The outstanding feature Of tnis film in our opinion is that it defl. nitely takes Billy Bekewell out or the juvenile class and establishes him as a leading man. He is good. too' as are Lew Cody, Zazu Pitts. H. b. Warner and Franklin Pangborn.

 Station Seized

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 13.-- The Federal Government struck 8 death-blow Saturday at a gigantic band of bootleggers and rum snug glers with the arrest of eight men and the seizure of radio station here.
 The authorities said they had evidence that the ring was sup ported by interests having millions of dollars.

Tapping Wires Golden was arrested after he was caught tapping the syndicate's tel ephone wires. He admitted he was seeking information whic h would be used by another gang of New Orleans bootleggers in the scheme to hijack the syndicate's liquor.
 Morrison and O'Neal are describ- ed as representatives of Vancouver distilleries who handled the rings orders.
 Hairn, Hart and Miller, the of ficers said, are from Chicago and took charge of the land distribu- ton.
 District Attorney Talbot said the ring had leased pecan orchard and several lumber plants, which were the base for liquor supplies. Capone Backing We can't prove it."
