Maj Martin was lost IL days after
his plane crashed into a mountain
peak on the Alaska Peninsula, despite
organized efforts to find him. He finally
reached a cannery equipped with a

Thomas Ash, jr., World War aviator,

the airmen were lost somewhere of the

said Ash. They had equipped the
plane with a supercharger which
stepped up the motor from 425 to 525
horsepower and 1 believe the strain
was too much"
Ash. who plans another attempt to
span the Pacific in a new plane next
May. said the left wing of the Moyle-
Allen ship was warped and you had TO
fight it all the time" He said the
ship used about IS gallons Of fuel an
hour instead of % as estimated by
Moyle.
Ash said changes the two flyers made
on the ship before they started the
flight cut down their cruising radius
several hundred miles, although it made
the plane easier to handle and some
what faster.
One person refused to admit the men
were lost Miss Frances Bresson, River
side, Calf, Moyle's fiancee, who came
here to greet him when he completed
the flight, insisted they would be found.

What a Man!

STANLEY RIDGES of the National
Theater Players is versatile fell
low Almost any one associated with
him will attest this.
Yet he does not consider versatility
a blessing Instead he sometimes con-
siders it more in the nature OF curse,
probably because it is a human trait
that makes the heart yearn TO do many
things rather than to adhere to one
fixed, certain purpose, and Stanley Is
beginning to perceive that experts are
wise who specialize.
Stanley Ridges is one of the few ac-
tors on the American stage who Is
equally at home in straight drama and
in musical comedy. His past career in
the theater has been closely associated
with both. Not only that, but Mr..
Ridges can play high comedy role one
week, deep tragedy the next and furious
farce the third time out.
During the course of the Spring and
Summer season now upon us Mr.. Ridges
will be called upon to display a brand
OF versatility that should stamp him
an outstanding figure in the realm OF
repertoire. He made ten-strike, as
the bowlers say, in the likeable role Of
Bob Brown in Rachael Crothers' COM

ton, ITS Wise Child" will come an
other chance, and in the fifth week Of

There is a neat line in my new pic

sums up things, don't you think?
The old type Of heroine-the starry

immaculate innocence could only be
reconciled with plain isnorance-never
existed really in everyday life. Women
today are pretty much the same as
women of any day or age. except that
they do more thinking for themselves

the Players schedule Mr. Ridges will
have by far the most engaging role OF
his stock career in Death Takes a
Holiday" in a role that has been la
beled by dramatic reviewers as one of
the outstanding charcter roles OF the
modern theater.
1t will thus be seen that Stanley
Ridges versatility is going to be taxed
heavily in his new professional activi-'
ties.
There is another side, however, to
his nature--in his private Nfe--and
therein. too, Stanley Ridges has proved
himself very versatile man.
He was in his school days an athlete
Of high achievement. He won honors
in base ball, foot ball and as mem
school and college days. 1t was in
those days also incidentally. that he
developed fair for the theater.
He was a member of glee. clubs and
amateur dramatic associations and took
part in most of the school plays given
during his time. As he had good
singing voice and had opportunity to
play the bones and tambourine as end
man. he did both, as well as the subtle
role of interlocutor in an old-faShioned
minstrel show.
Furthermore, as a good golf partner
Stanley Ridges acquired his technique
out on the links at Great Neck, where
he has his home, and he is rated a
sterling player and winner of tourna-
mentS. Stanley has disclosed this to
some Of the best golfers in the theatre

THE voices of Ann Harding, Edward

Pathe personalities were heard through
out Great Britain recently when a novel
experiment in the artificial reproduce
ton of sound was made in the studios
of the British Broadcasting Co. and
excerpts of dialogue from several film

Sequences from Holiday" Swing
High" and other R-K-O-Pathe features
were put on the air from the projection
room OF P. D. C.'s London headquarters.
The voices of Miss Harding and the
others, it is said. came over perfectly.
The Glasgow Bulletin. commenting on
the broadcast. said that the reproduc-
ton was so good that the voices might
have been the real thing. despite the
fact that there were at least nine me-
chanical processes between the human
original and the voices heard over the
radio.

that Manager Cochran has pre-
Sented it with the best version of
the National Theater Players he
has ever corralled. What they did
with Let Us Be Gay" last week
didn't leave a foot to stand upon

was of sufficient Importance to
leave the scene of the great

the Columbia Theater, with sound, but
no speech.
AS yet, there is no injunction. consti-
tutional or otherwise against an actor
being a good business man. There is.
however. mass of evidence to show
that Charlie is far from being money
mad. Conceding the famous come
dams worldwide popularity, it must be
remembered that at the time he made
the decision to appear only in silent pic
lures. the whole group of picture pro-
ducerS had definitely abandoned the
silent for the talking pictures. At that
-eventful period Charles decision to
spend 81 500. 600 onua non talker was a
huge gamble to say the. least. 1t APP

DOWN Washington way for a

feeling that something was wrong.
and some of our most ardent
commentators have been laying
it at the doors of the New York
producers. Their failure to turn
out better plays, their persistence
in mass production Of vapid or
vulgar ones, their indifference to
conditions outside of New York
and their lack of effort to help
the theater hold its own with talk

seemed to warrant the suspicion
that. with few exceptions, the
producers have been disposed to
play safety for themselves and let
