YACHT RACE
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 81.
G.N.SO.-There will be no race
for the Americas Cup today be-
tween the good ship Endeavour,
Of England, and the good crew
Of the defending Rainbow, al
though both yachts finished
yesterdays affair in orderly and
well organized condition, and
might have continued racing
until halted by divine inter
ceSSion and ]. P. Morgan.
The yachts are all right; it's
the witnesses. They're ex-
hausted, gibbering feebly in a
strange tongue and failing to
recognize mother as she hovers
tenderly over the bedside.
After what happened yeSter-
day, they've had about all they
can stand. It was all right when
Kellar did it in the old days.
Somehow, we just know that the
rabbit never really came out OF
the hat nor the flowerpot from
the gentleman's ear.
But this was different. We
clearly saw it happen, with times,
positions and circumstances to
support the evidence.
At 1:45 o'clock EST in the
open spaces of the ocean, Endea-
vor was leading Rainbow by up
ward of a mile. At 2:05, twenty
minutes later, the lead was COM
pletely wiped out, just as though
it had never been.
At 3:15, Rainbow was we'll in
front. At 4 the race was run
away.
Hocus pocus, the hand is quick
er than the eye. Nothing up the
sleeve, gentlemen, a game for
young and old.
There is something so final and
absolute about the ocean. Its
spaces are vast. Wind and wave
and the tides are not to be con-
travened and yacht one mile in
front is just ayacht that cannot
go wrong.

Great Spell
Of Jane Eyre
Still Holds
R-K-O Keith Gives
Discrimination and
Charm to Story.

THE romance and sentimentality
that always hover about old lace
and brocade is going through various
stages of revivifcation at R-K-O
Keiths Theater, where the Monogram
film version of Charlotte Bronte's
classic Jane Eyre" is being presented
during the week. And the figures
that graced the pages of that book,
dearly loved by young women from
three quarters of century ago to the
present day, come to life in the por-
trayalS of Colin ("Journey's End')
Give and Virginia Bruce.
With the modern requisites of films
being what they are, Jane Eyre" is
more calculated to please those who
wish to turn back pages and live in
the aura of idealism with which they
first read Bronte's novel, than those
with a more cosmopolitan taste. It's
sweet and pure sentiment has not
suffered in the hands of Adele Com
mandini. who did the screen play.

time been transfigured by the direc-
ton Of Christy Cabanne. 1t might
even be said that the perturbation
follows, perhaps, little too closely
the wording of Charlotte Bronte, for
the film lags over childhood, whose
misunderstanding, hurts and loneli-
ness could not possibly have been in
terpreted with full sympathy during
the time devoted to it. It Is there
fore rather skippy and a little too
thin for the following reels, for Miss
Eyre wanders through to the only
real stirring part Of the film with
her audience having very little knowl-
edge of her background, unless they
happen to have read the book.
The film does, however, begin to
become vastly more interesting after
that period Of Jane Eyre's life in the
orphanage has ended and she If safely
installed at the home of Mr.. Edward
Rochester (Colin Clive) as the gov
erness of his niece. Thence forward
to the rather emotional climax the
trials and tribulations Of Miss Eyre,
who every day falls more deeply in
love with Rochester, are traced and
defined in a careful, understanding
manner by both the principal play
ers, who have the ardent support of
a long line Of old troupers, including
Baryl Mercer, Aileen Pringle, David
Terrence and others.
Every one, especially the younger
women and those who are growing
younger every day, knows the story of
Jane Eyre, and no one will be likely
to find anything disappointing in its
film version. 1t can be heartily rec
commended for those who wish again
to recapture the romantic spell of
Charlotte Bonte's characters-Jane
Eyre and Edward Rochester.
There is also comedy on the bill
that seems worth mentioning, since
it created such furore of laughter
at yesterdays performances. 1t is
one 'of those Tom Kennedy classics
entitled "Unlucky Strike" and it is
combined with a movie-tour thing
and news reel to complete the billing.
