"SPIT FIR {" is
TITLE OF NEW
HEPBURN DRAMA
Tempestuous Star Pla y s
Role of Primitive Noun
tain Girl at Capitol

Katharine Hepburn, the screens
most dramatic addition in recent
years, comes tomorrow to the Capt.
tol Theatre in "Spitfire,D in which
she takes an entirely different role
from any in which she has yet
appeared.
In "Spitfire," the star of Little
Women" plays the part of Trigger,
poverty stricken girl of the grim,
mountain region of the South.
Trigger, with an unquenchable faith
in the Supreme Beings beneficence,
is all that the title implies. A rock
throwing firebrand, she is both
feared and misunderstood by her
almost illiterate neighbors. Her
mixture of Biblical quotations and
profanity astounds them, but she
feels that she knows and is close to
God. Thought to be a witch when
her prayers are sometimes answer
ed, apparently miraculously, the
primitive, superstitious m u n tain
folk distrust her.
The picture is an extreme de-
parture from the ordinary, its ro-
nance, feuds, and comedy touches
have the appeal of the elemental
with the fiery, fascinating Trigger,
carrying practically the whole show.
Miss Hepburn is said to give an
impressive, and at times, inspired

Airmen Aided e..
By New Ruling

v ashington-A new definition
of solo time in requirements for
A pilots license makes it possible
for student airmen to ACQUIRE a
part of their experience in flights
during which they may be accom-
panied by a licensed pilot, according
10 an announcement by J. Carroll
Cone, assistant director of aeronau-
tics.
Authority for this procedure is
given by IN amendment to the air
commerce regulations which states
"A person is engaged in solo flying
when he is in command of aircraft
in flight
However, the students are re-
CURED to accomplish 10 hours of
actual solo flying before they can
begin to take credit for time in
the air while accompanied by Ii
tensed pilots. In addition, such
time may be claimed "only when
the student is the sole manipula-
TOR Of the controls during the
flight, including takeoff and land
ins."
\ requirement that the student
make a thorough study of the air
traffic rules, and pass an examina-
1ion on such rules before making
his first solo flight, is also intro
duced in the amendment. Joint
responsibility for the observance of
this requirement is vested in the
student and his instructor.
