''SCARFACE" "

Veidt and Jill Esmond in the splendid cast is a thrilling and highly imaginative drama. The un- ual theme of the feature is built around the often discussed estab- lishment of a floating platform" in mid Atlantic with all the appur- tenances and equipment of a mod ern landing field, as an aid to long distance aviation.
 High Adventure
 In this setting FP1 unfolds story of high adventure and tender romance. The climax of the story is reported to be one of the most exciting of recent screen produc- tions, involving an extravagant use of both ships and planes. Through out the film, the latest scientific achievements are said to be inter- mingled with elements of intimate romance.
 This is an original and happy departure of the Alaskan organiza- tion and a record crowd is expected at both the 730 and 9:30 shows. On the Auxiliary committee in charge of the sale of tickets are Mrs. J. E. Connors, Mrs. Ralph Martin and Mary Michaelson while John Langse u h, William Feero, Charles Baum and Fred Kronquist have managed it for the Pioneers.

The forward part of the wing would have,
inside two decks. In front there would be
two vast promenade decks, stretching almost
the entire length of the wing, with curved.
substantial windows through which the pas
sengers could look down upon the sea as they
flew through space.
Opening from the promenade decks would
be the state rooms, arranged precisely as state
rooms are arranged in ordinary steamships.
On the lower deck, back of the state rooms,
would be general social hall, followed by the
kitchens, food storerooms, and rear-most
engine compartments. On the upper deck
the state rooms would be followed by smoking
rooms, lounges, dining salon and similar COM
partments
The ship would land beside pier, just like
a steamer Passengers would mount stairway
to the gangway, which would admit them to
the reception hall in one of the floats. There,
having checked in at the pursers Office to be
assigned to their state rooms, they would get
into the elevators and be whiSked upward to
the wing.
Once in the wing they would find everything
just in a modern steamship-state rooms,
promenade decks, lounging rooms, bar, dining
salon and dance hall. It would be impossible
for them to TELL by anything in the fittings,
layout or equipment, that they were actually
on an airplane.
In the center of the big wing there would be
a semi-circular projection from the leading
edge, studded with windows along the front.
1t would be the bridge, where the captain,
the navigator, the executive officer and their
aids would stand their watches just steam
sh:a officers do From it they would guide the

Two enormous floats or pontoons, are pro-
vided. They differ from ordinary seaplane
floats chiefly in the fact that they are almost
infinitely larger. Each one, by itself, would
be as big as fair-szed steamboat.
In each there would be two decks. The lower
deck would contain a garage, to carry the
passengers autos, and storage space for the
enormous amounts Of gasoline, oil and water
which the giant plant would have to carry. The
upper deck would contain more storage space
for gas, oil and water, hangar for the ships
auxiliary airplanes, and general lobby, or
reception hall, where the purser would have
his Office, as in the lobby of an ocean liner.
A BOVE would be the seaplane's one enor-
\ nous wing. 1t would be supported on the
parallel floats by huge hollow, stream lined
columns some 20 feet or more in height In
these columns there would be compartments
to carry baggage and mail, and living quarters
for the officers and crew. In addition, they
would contain shafts for the elevators to carry
the passengers to their own quarters above
These quarters for the passengers would
occupy the wing itself The imagination is
1t would be several hundred feet long, shaped
with blunt, rounded leading edge tapering to
a thin wedge at the back.
1t would carry IL motors, each spinning a
propeller as long as the ordinary seaplane
of today. Six of these motors would be housed
in the streamline projections along the front
of the wing; the other six would find space
at the rear of the wing, with their propellers

This floating island is itself an interesting
development in oceanic air service. 1t con-
sists of a regular steamship. the Westfalen,
adapted for use as mother ship for sea-
planes.
The Westfalen is an. old freight steamer Of
5124 tons, chartered from the North German
Lloyd Co. 1t is equipped with powerful cleo
trio generators run by Diesel engines, with q
strong wireless outfit, brilliant lights, and
complete equipment to give the planes any
kind of service repair that they may need.
Astern of the Westfalen is towed floating
canvas 'train" or apron. An arriving seaplane
lands on this and is hauled aboard the West
fallen bodily. Take-of is made along runway
built from stem to stern of the ship, catapuit
like those used on American warShips being
used to launch the plane.
So far the Lufthansa is carrying no passen-
gers on this route, cargoes being restricted to
mail. Nevertheless, the line will provide an
excellent test for transoceanic plane service,
and will doubtless do much to hasten the day
when regular air service between Europe and
North America is a common feature.

Now this whole concep-
ton, of course, looks to
the average man in the
street very much like a
pipe dream. Yet it is
worth remembering that it
goes no farther beyond
what is now perfectly
practical than present-day
airplanes go beyond what
was practical a decade or
two ago.
One need only think of
the existing. DO-X, itself
a giant of the skies by
present day standards. or
OF the luxurious clipper

the South American trade,
to realize the potentialities
of the large sized sea

take to the air.
At first these ideas appeared chiefly in fam
tastic books of adventure for boys-and some
of them were weird and peculiar affairs Then,
little by little people who actually knew
little something about aeronautlcs began 10
play with the dream. Flyers themselves began
to ponder over 1T.
The notion that the air lanes over the seas
could be conquered by enormous flying boats
was too attractive to discard. And IN recent
wears actual attempts to realize the dream
have been made so that eventually very far
approach to it was actually put into the air,
in the German flying boat DO-X.
All of these conceptions however, both real
and imaginary, are dwarfed by the latest de-
sign to come from German draughtsmans
drawing board.
Here we have something that goes beyond
even the widest imaginings of the hctionist-
and it comes from man who is Versed IN the
complicated science Of aeronauticS and knows
what can and what cannot be done in the air.
TO BE sure, the German company which Is
looking at his diagrams does not expect to
start building this giant Seaplane tomorrow.
But it believes that the plane will be perfectly
practical in the future-and in the not-too-
distant future, at that.
So convinced is it that the trend in ocean
actually contemplating the construction OF
plane which would carry ITO passengers and
have a cruising speed of 1877 miles an hour.
However, that plane would be mere pigmy
alongside the one that is predicted for the
future.
This plane, according to preliminary de-
signs, would carry no fewer than 1500 passen-
gers-in addition to large quantities of such
bulky freight as automobiles.
1t would have elevators promenade decks,
smoking rooms, staterooms, dance halls and
the like. 1t would carry its own small-sized
airplanes, to be launched in nlid-f1ight by
catapults 1t would have garage, in which
the autos of its passengers could be trans
ported back and forth across the sea-
All in all, it would dwarf present-da sea-
planes as the Leviathan dwarfs such a boat

The snow was packed on the
street and clinging to the clothing
of those out on business or pleasure.
but the weather bureaus forecast
was not encouraging. All that the
bureau would concede, with the snow
falling in the face of a prediction for
warmer weather tonight, was that as
long as the temperature stayed be-
low 30, there would be snow-or,
perhaps, sleet.
Meanwhile, the temperature had
climbed from 20 at this morning to
90 at noon. This was considered
lamblike for winter, now in its third
day, but the weather bureau pre-
dicted lower temperatures for to-
morrow.
