board that he could see no justifica-

Although a hearing was sched-

been installed. it would have cost

so as to serve the house of DIR

Air Line Makes Sound
Movie of Sky Travel

New York. (UP)-A sound film
showing every phase Of modern air
travel Is being produced by Anne
lean Anyways.
Though voice and picture, the
film portrays each step the air
passenger takes in the course. Of
his trip. It shows how easily tick
cts are obtained; the trip to the
airpot; the take off; scenes from
the windows of the plane; the
serving Of meals aloft, and other
services rendered while in flight,
and the landing. It also informs
the audiences how ships are serv-
iced in the hangers; how radio is
used to direct ships in the air, and
how the ground organizations at
all stations coordinate their work
with clock-like precision.
The film differs from other avia-
ton moves Of commercial nature
produced in recent years 1t Is said,
by reason Of it's unusual treatment,
which will enable 1t to be shown
in regular theaters because of its

A large delegation from Thorn

TRACY STARS
WITH WRAY IN
PLAY OF EAST
Madness
at Columbia Is
Action Drama.

POPULAR Spencer Tracy and Fay
Wray step right into gun action
and other perils of unsettled conditions
in the Orient. as they play in the film
drama, Shanghai Madness" at the
Columbia Theater. With mob scenes
and fighting which seems to register
many casualties. they conduct their
unique romance in the midst Of
Communist perils, official disapproval,
and the powerful opposition of dis
approving parent.
Mr.. Tracy is one Of the types most
appealing to lovers Of the courage that
overcomes all obstacles, and is espe-
cially valuable at storm center, where
prompt action is needed to save
Americans from disaster Miss Wray
represents one Of those young women
whose judgments are quickly made, and
who never fails to diagnose masculine
character so definitely that they stake
everything in the midst of local strife
on the belief that a wonderful person.
ality has been encountered. The COM
bination produces piece Of film drama
that has continuous fascination, while
the running story Of the Orient in
warlike mood gives the accompanying
flavor of the things that are splendid
because they are never found in pro-
sale existence.
Shanghai Madness" has numerous
ingredients that are calculated to
arouse an audience Mr.. Tracy has
served in the American Navy for IA
years as an officer and has been ban
ished from the service because he dis
obeyed orders in firing upon snipers
who had not hesitated to aim their
shots at the American flag. He is con-
victed by court-martial. and feels that
he has been permanently disgraced by
the sentence. His meeting with Miss
Wray, daughter OF prominent busi-
ness man at Shanghai, is brought
about when he saves her from a
Chinese mob. She has no hesitation in
giving him chief place in her affections,
but the plot turns on his belief that
she would share his disgrace unless
she were wise enough to put an end
to their suddenly developed association.
Much Of the story is based upon the
perils to which Miss Wray is subjected
while she disobeys her father in seek
ing to share the fortunes Of the chosen
young man.

type, little could be added His por-
trayal is G. fine effort and belongs to a
class distinctly Robinsonian. There is,
however, in this film another somewhat
lesser star whose ability. parallel with
that of Mr Robinson, looms big That
is the very excellent portrayal of an
unbelievably patient and vengeful wife
as done by Genevieve Tobin who makes
this somewhat passive role one of
strange force through its very passivity.
Miss Tobin is we'll cast and neither
overplays the part nor does she under

indeed. that she is only there, patiently

FAMOUS STAR
is FORCEFUL
IN FILM ROLE
Crosman Play Has
Var Mother as
Background.

WITH story whose lines are like
w those Of a sculptor, and material
which touches the alternating depths
and heights of emotion, Henrietta Cros-
man, famous as one of the. creators of
the dramatic taste Of the Nation, pre-
sents mosaicS of life in "Pilgrimage," at
the Palace Theater.
The pilgrimage is that of the war
mothers, but the visit to France is only
the framework on which have been
etched the two family experiences of a
very old type. one of which is the in
spiration of an appeal that points the
way to the solution Of the second.
Miss Crosman's selection for the part
of the unforgiving mother of soldier
who feels that the neighbor girl has
brought disgrace upon her family, may
be described as Hollywood lnsplra-
ton. 1t is doubtful if any other act
ress could have achieved the almost i'm
poSsible-the creation of a character
whose censorious acts, based upon jeal-
ousy over the sharing of son with
another woman, are so skillfully fash
ioned that she attracts rather than re-
pels with her frenzy of injustice. When
she finally relentS, as result of expe-
rience in Paris, Miss CroSman Is at
her traditional best. and there is a
sweep of magic influence that grips the
minds of an audience.
From the spectacular standpoint,
nothing is lacking in the effort to
present the truth of the splendid prof.
ect of taking to the battlefields and
burial places of American fighters
abroad the Gold Star mournerS of those
who made the supreme sacrifice. I'M
pressive scenes among the guests of the
Nation, tense atmosphere in the pres
ence of the dead. and fine displays OF
differing characteristics, give quality to
the theEe.
In the more personal phase OF the
plot, Miss Crosman, as one OF the visl-
tors to France. saves the life OF a
youth from her own country who Is
about to commit suicide because his
own family has refused to consent to
his marriage to Suzanne. The youths
story so impresses the mother who has
lost her own son that she cleverly
brings about a reconciliation of the
proud family with son and chosen
bride She returns to America to fol-
low the example of her own service to
strangers.
In the cast which has been chosen
for association with the famous star
there is creditable work by Heather
Angel and Marian Nixon, both of whom
give charm to the characters of the
young women directly involved, while
Norman Foster. as the rebellious youth
in the home, meets extensive demands
with ability. Charles Grapewin, in
parental role, continues the excellent
film work which is reflection of his
experiences on the stage.
The Palace. in its series Of short
films, offers pretentious Our Gang"
