ATLANTA, November 28.-Complete
suspension of air traffic, serious inter-
ference with navigation at some points.
and slow motor travel resulted today
from a dense smoke and fog blanket
covering the Southeast.
So heavy was the pail that ships en-
tering or leaving the harbor of Savan-
nah, Ga, were forced to cast anchor
and wait for it to lift.
All air lines suspended operations on
visibility reports that in most cases
showed from zero to maximum of
only 2 miles.
Lindbergh Forced Down.
Col. Charles A. Linobergh, en- route
northward from Miami, Fla, was forced
down at FlagIer Beach, a village 20
miles north of Daytona Beach, Fla.
Motorists needed headlights on their
automobiles in many sections well after
sunrise.
Eastern Air Transport cancelled
every flight in the Southeast. Ameri-
can Always regular eastward run
from Fort Worth, Tex, was started on
time, but the plane proceeded only as
lar as Dallas, 80 miles away and land
ed to wait for better visibility.
Virginia and the Western CarolinaS,
which were better off than other parts
of the Southeast yesterday, did not
1are SO well today. Richmond had a
visibility range of three-fourths of a
mile. with misting rain, and south
ward the weather grew thicker and
flights over the Richmond-Atlanta Line
were cancelled
c. F. Won Hermann, in charge of the
Weather Bureau here, said the fog
probably would not continue long. He
added, however that smoke from forest
fires was causing a large part of the
blanket with nothing in sight to clear it
away.
He said there might be light scat
tered showers over the cotton belt today
or tomorrow, but no heavy rains He
saw no prospect of winds of any force
Temperatures continued mild.
Three Ships Anchor.
The only vessel to continue opera
lions at Savannah was railroad ferry
plying between that city and Hutchin-
son Island. Outside the harbor three
freighterS cast anchor. They are the
Saccarappa from Jacksonville to load
Tor Liverpool and Manchester; the Bar
bara Gates from Norfolk to load fol-
Jacksonville and the West Coast, and
the Tuscaloosa City from Baltimore To
load for the Far East.

kansas has ever seen-one for the
United States Senatorship-is drawing
to a close.
The two principals are Mira hattie
w. Caraway, the temporary appointee
as the successor to her husband, the
late T. H. Caraway, and Frank Pace,
Little Rock lawyer. who has been a
strong but silent figure in State poll
tics for years.
Parnell Directs Campaign.
Neither has made public statement
or formally announced as a candidate,
yet a fight OF intense bitterness has
developed, old political friendships I :
been broken and the foundation has
been laid, in the opinion of political
observers, for a complete realignment
in State politics.
Mrs. CaraWay has remained in WASH
ington, leaving the direction CT her
campaign to Gov. Harvey Parnell He
and Pace formerly were the closest po-
litical friends.
Pace Heads Own Fight.
Pace has silently directed his own
fight-one for a majority of the votes
of the State Democratic Control Com
mittee, which meets here Tuesday to
select a nominee for Senator CarawayS
unexpired term of year and two
months. The nomination is equivalent
to formal election in a special election
or January IL.
Eighteen committee votes are neces-
-, u l., oI,;v -
more than this number. There are "a
members of the committee.
BlackwoOd Backs.Pace.
Pace was a law partner of the late
United States Senator JEFF Davis. one
of the States most colorful political
figures. Davis sen Wallace is PAGES
Law partner. The two have held to-
gether the old Davis political organ
ization for nearly 20 years since JEFF
Davis death, yet neither has sought
public Office.
Should Pace be nominated his friends
believe he would be candidate next
Summer for the ensuing full terms
Mrs. CaraWay has indicated she would
not seek the full term. Gov. Parnell
has been mentioned as a probable can-
Gidate.
Dwight H. Blackwood. chairman Of
the State Highway Commission. has
aligned himself with Pace. Blackwood

'Beggar,s Opera

THE Beggar's Opera" which is to
be presented for one night only at
English's opera house, on Monday,
Nov. 30, is, though it is over 200
years since it was first produced,
one of the most novel attractions
that has ever toured America.
The old script was edited by the
late Arnold Bennett and Softened
down considerably as our forefath-
ers in the days of the Georges and
Queen Anne were inclined to allude
to a spade as spade, but the spirit
of the original is still retained.
The musical effect has been in
creased by the use of a ladies' or
chestra modelled after that which
accompanied the singers in the days
of yore. The harpsichord and other
old time instruments are included
in the ensemble.
The cast is composed of those
artists from the Lyric theater, Ham
mersmith, London. who have long
been identified with respective roles
and includes Sylvia Nelis as Polly
Peachum, Elsie French as Mrs.
Peachum, Vera Hurst as Lucy
Lockit, John Mott as Captain Mac
heath, Charles Magrath as Peach
UNI, GWillym Williams as Lockit and
Robert Brinn as Fitch.

Comedy to
Open at
Playhouse
The Love Match to Get
First Local Showing
Tonight.

Beginning tonight at the Play
house, the Civic theater will present
an English comedy entitled THE
Love Match" which was written by
the late Arnold Bennett.
The principal parts are played by
Reginald Garstang and Dorothy
Robinson, both of whom are among
the best known of the Civic theater
players.
Dorothy Robinson again has a
part similar to that which won her
first local glory in THE Marquise"
two seasons ago.
Blair Taylor and Charles Robin
son have secondary roles while Bar
bara Foltz and Sara Lauter furnish
the broader comedy strokes.
1.-THE Love Match" is in five
scenes instead of the usual three
acts and the plot, while not new,
has some novel twists. The first
scene depicts a young woman of
w RC Dull NJ llOCO w NC
fond of portraying, lovably dumb, a
bit irresponsible, but with an enor-
nous conceit of her own powers of
management.
She pouts her way out of one mar
riage and into another, seeking to
cajole the second husband into re-
organizing the habits of his life
time and the conduct of his per-
sonal affairs along lines which she
conceives to be the perfect pattern
for the perfect marriage.
The husband, of course, rebels and
takes steps to bring halt to the
intended reconstruction of his life
by method which proves to be
only a little less unwise than those
employed by his wife.
The apparently necessary happy
ending is furnished through COM
plete reconciliation brought about
by the younger sister.
