SCIENTISTS CLOCK
SPEEDING WORLDS
Group Photographs Some
Which May Be Travelling
1,65O,00O Miles a Minute.

BY the Associated Press.
MOUNT WILSON, Calf, March 49,
There is a little group Of earnest mer
atop the mountain here who do not
think the world is going speed mad
when they read of airplanes travelling
miles a minute.
These men compute the speed OF
worlds travelling quite bit faster. In
fact, they hope soon to report some
going a million miles a minute. That's
pretty fast, but Milton l.. Humason
with DR.. Edwin P. Hubble, more than
a month ago clicked a nebula speeding
at 100000 miles a minute, and they
have photographed some which may be
travelling at 1,650,000 miles minute.
It was last month that Humason
spectroscopic assistant of the worlds
leading explorer in astronomy, DR.. Hub
bic, presented his initial paper to the
Carnegie Institution of Washington re-
porting the speed ofAa nebula at 1000
miles a second, or 100000 miles q
minute.
Photographed by Telescope.
This was photographed by means OF
the worlds largest telescope here, 9
I00-inch rejecting mirror, at distance
of 100000 light years. A light yea1
is the distance light travels in year
ct 10000 miles second, or 5000, 00O,-
600 miles.
other speeding nebulae have been
photographed as far away as 300, 1000, oOo
light years, or 2l2 times as far as that
clicked by Humason.
The measurement of speed, however,
is by a spectroScopic camera, and the
most distant yet measured is the
nebula, 120,00o,o 900 light years away.
The distant nebulae appear only as
faint specks on the Photographic plate.
1t is n very exacting and difficult task
to set the spectroscope camera on such
specks, but with present equipment 1t
is expected to extend the work until
at least nebulae speeding a million
miles a minute are clicked.
S0-HOur Exposures Made.
It took Is hours exposure to get the
spectra Of Humason'S work. but mega
tives have been exposed on the great
telescope for 80 hours.
Such are the speeds os clicked on
Mount Wilson, but they are not the
fastest speeds. The astronomers can
look down to the valley floor and see
the mile-long tube in the fields near
Santa Ana. At that device one OF
their colleagues, also doing research
work for the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington, is clicking something still
faster.
Their colleague in the valley is
Dr. Albert A. Niche son. who is meae-
uring the velocity of light, which speeds
in the neighborhood of ll,l60,00o miles
per minute.

 In building the characters Of Amos n Andy for Check and Double Check the photoplay, it was decided that fidelity to the characters of the air must be the first consideration. Every detail was carefully worked out, hundreds of thousands of questionnaires filled in by radio fans were read, and Amos n Andy themselves were giv- en complete authority to add, re- wise or delete.
 Characters Retained
 Story and situations grew from the Amos n Andy drama of the air. Characters-Kingfi Madame Queen, Lightnin', Ruby Taylor came from the same place. And so did the dialect, that new Ameri- can language known popularly as

 In Such Men Are Dangerous, Baxter portrays the role of Ludwig Kranz, a millionaire manu- facturer who, because of his ugly face is deserted by his bride.
 Revenge Plans Miscarry
 His plans for revenge miscarry when, after employing plastic sur |gery, for the purpose of turing her back just to discard her, he again |succumbs to her charms.
 Catherine Dale Owen, described las the most beautiful blonde of the films, enacts the role of the wife and the supporting cast also includes such splendid artists as Hedda Hopper, Albert Cont, Claude Allister, Bela Lugosi and Lucy Lorraine.
 The picture was directed by Kenneth Hawks.

SARAH AND SON''
 COMES SUNDAY. TO ( 0L|SEUM
Such Men Are Dangerous Is Feature Attraction
 for Tonight

Critics elsewhere have bestowed upon Ruth Chatterton the degree of Charm Dispenser" No one doubts that she has earned the en- comium
 There is in every movement of Q Chatterton portrayal a convincing quality of magnetic attractiveness "a quality that holds every eye and ear at strict attention.
 In Sarah and Son." which will be shown Sunday and Monday at the Coliseum theatre, Miss Chat terton demonstrates her masterly craft in a manner more fascinating than ever before.
 Sarah and Son" is a great theme. It concerns the courageous rise to fame of poor and ob- scure young woman Miss Chatter ton, as Sarah, is disclosed as a nobody who marries a worthless man. Because of his squandering habits they are reduced to penury.
 Cannot Buy Food
 Their funds are insufficient to purchase adequate food for their infant son. One day Sarah chides her husband for his laziness. Tn revenge he spirits the child away and turns him over to wealthy man whose wife is childless and who has been planning to adopt an orphan. Then Sarahs husband dis appears.
 In the meantime Sarah, delivered of the yoke of domestic drudgery sets out to achieve fame as sing CT. After a spirited battle against adversity she gains a fair suc- cess. Always there is the heart ache for her lost child. One day she sings for a group of wounded soldiers in a hospital ward One of them is her former scape-goat husband. He sees her and tells her where she can find the boy. Then he dies.
 Recovery of Son ! From then on the plot centers on her attempts to retrieve her son, now lad of Il years. She meets young lawyer, who helps her They fall in love. The man. ner in which Sarah accomplishes her plans for her son provides the big emotion-packed climax of this splendid romance-drama. It fur nishes acting. action and excite ment of the highest entertainment value.
 Frederic March plays the roman tic male lead as the lawyer. Fuller Mellish, Jr., is the villainous hus- band. Phillipe de Lacy is the grown child Other fine performances are turned in by Gilbert Emery and William Stack.
 Attraction For Tonight
 At the Coliseum tonight, and for tonight only, Such Men Are Dangerous" is the feature attrac- tion. Warner Baxter has the lead- ing role He is improving. In Tn Old Arizona" as the Cisco Kid" he was a genuine bad man; in Thru Different Eyes" he betrayed his best friend, but in Such Men Are Dangerous" Fox Movietone all

Amos m AndeSe.
 The screen story carries Amos n Andy through an adventure in which white folks are the most interested--if hardly the most in- teresting players. There is romance, supplied by Sue Carol and Charles Morton; there is the menace of Ralf Harolde and Rita La Roy; and there is the comedy, the pa- thos, and the what-in-the- world is-it? of Amos n Andy themselves.
 Although always before the cam- eras except in a few scattered se- quences necessary to plant the in- trigue into which they are drawn. Amos m Andy never become con- scious of the part they are play ing in the story. They are but the instruments of plot-the ambitious, blundering, lovable Amos n Andy hundred million Americans have taken to their hearts.

CAPITOL SCREEN
 TONIGHT SHOWS. 4 MOS N ANDY.
Comedians of World Radio Fame Appear in Check
 and Double Check

Coming to the screen in their first all-talklng motion picture, Anon n Andy check and double check the power of sheer person. ality in the field of entertainment. And the title of their great screen presentation is Check and Double Check" It begins showing tonight at the Capitol theatre. It will be repeated at a special matinee to- morrow afternoon, tomorrow night and Monday night.
 Not until they are seen on the screen with every accepted aid in presentation given them, does their amazing triumph on the radio stand in it's true value. How they were able to win attention of the audience in world history with ap- peal to ear alone stands doubly wondrous.
 On screen, personality is a sim pie thing to build. Scenic effects, physical makeup, clash of charac- ter, and dozen other unities all contribute to the building of in- dividual personality alor.3 the lines the author intended. On the radio there is voice alone.
 True to Type
 Now Amos n Andy come to their admirers in complete characteriza- tion. They are given for the first time the aid of makeup, gesture, background and a distinct dramat- ic technique. And, strange enough, what they are on the screen is being accepted without nrntest as the very thing they have

of the Bank of Athens for the al
legged printing of a false statement
about the bank, turned the tables on
the bank and actually had the bank
