A Man, a Boy. and a Dog Star in Tough Guy
 Showing, Coliseum

Milky Way" Harold Lloyd's lat est comedy now at the Capitol The atre, has as theme a gorgeously goofy idea. The hilarity of his usual productions is unabated. Lloyd (ls cast as poor sap of milkman, an obscure fellow scared of his own shadow. He is always skipping out Iof trouble. Quite skipper, in fact!
 And then, he skips himself right into a prizefight ring. Harold Lloyd, glasses and all. in the, limelight as a middleweight contender, is one of the funniest characterizations seen on the screen for some time
 Tough Guy" at the Coliseum with Jackie Cooper. Joseph Calleia and Rin Tin Tin Jr. tells the story of a boy, who runs away from home to save his dog and blunders into a criminal gang, finding them the best friends of his life. The meth ods of the Secret Service in ferret ing out the criminals are shown in detail. Thrilling battles, a grip ping denouement on an old tug that is the gangs hiding place, and many delft human touches embellish the story.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. l. Tenderfeet in the movies are SUD- posed to keep quiet and do as they're told. But Frances Farmer has ideas and doesn't see why she shouldn't express them. She does express them, and what's more :: Howard Hawks. a director whose pictures long have given proof that he knows his business, has accept ed several of them.
 He says he thinks she is one of the most intelligent girls he has directed. When they're in the midst of rehearsal and Frances thinks of a gesture or bit of business that might improve her character ization, she will out with it; not impertinently, just inquiringly. And Hawks likes this. If he doesn't ap- prove the idea, he will tell her why. But often he approves. Miss Farmer is making her fourth picture-her first role of any real importance to her, she says.

 Chamberlin says one of the pur- poses of the flight is to pave the way for shorter flying time flights across the Atlantic.
 If we make the 1,850-mile hop frorl Newfoundland to Lands End, : he says, we expect to complete the journey in from five to six hours A London or Paris hop would re- quire 10 to IS hours"
 Regarding the speed angle, Mrs Chamberlin explains:
 That's one reason I don't mind the trip. We will make it in such a short time, won't have time to get scared. But I never am afraid flying with Clarence. He knows the mechanics of aviation as we'll as being the pilot he is, you know"
 Financed by Passengers
 More than 50,000 Americans will finance the stratosphere flight.
 They represent passengers the Chamberlins and their associate pilot, Jack Wall, of Eastman. Ga, have taken for air rides at one dollar apiece.
 The Chamberlins are barnstorm- ing on their honeymoon to obtain money to finance the flight. They are flying Curtis Condor ships that weigh nine and one-half tons and have seats for 27 and 32 passengers, respectively.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 1.-Clar- ence Chamberlin and his bride oi less than two months plan a trans atlantic honeymoon flight-through the stratosphere.
 They will climb into his two- seated Lockheed monoplane at St. Johns, Newfoundland, sometime in the next two months and take off for one of three points-Land's End, England, London or Paris. A flier who graduated from the ranks of transport hosteSses, Mrs Chamberlin says she will do the 'backseat' piloting on the ceiling hop.
 She is the former Louise Ashby daughter of State Senator George Ashby of Maine.
 May Make History
 Of the proposed flight, Chamber lin says:
 Tt will be only a part of our honeymoon.
 But he added he expects to prove the era of stratosphere flying is near due to the remarkable ad vances in the science of aviation engineering.
 If the Chamberlins are success full in their flight they will be making aviation history
 Chamberlin says man never has attempted solely stratosphere hop across large body of water.

 Her husband says equipment for stratosphere flying has been so per- fected at this time that no trouble should be encountered.
 Clouds in the summer season, he says, lie below the 30000-foot altitude level. In winter season they're below 25,000 feet. By flying 5000 feet we shall miss all clouds have the advantage of good tail winds prevalent at that altitude and experience minimum of re- sistance."

CATHEDRAL DRIVE
Tells Captains at Luncheon
of Universal Interest
in Project.

Gen. John ]. Pershing yesterday
appealed to the whole community OF
the Nations Capital to support the
maintenance campaign for Washing
ton Cathedral.
Speaking at a luncheon meeting OF
drive captains at the Hotel Carlton,
the A. Z. F. leader, in his capacity as
0 member of the Cathedral Chapter
and chairman of the National Com
mittee organized to aid the Cathe-
dral's work, declared:
There Is nothing in this city that
means more to me than the Cathedral
does: There Is something uplifting
and aspiring about it to the people of
the Nation I find men and women
ever. where interested in it. Wherever
] travel I am asked about its progress
and development.
The Cathedral must be completed,
II we are to round out our Capital.
Washington is young city, and one
day the Cathedral may be in its CEN
ter. Think what it will mean to leg
islators and Government officials
coming to worship in such a beautiful
church,"
Right Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington, was the only
other speaker. He explained the Ca
thedral has no income except from
"a very small endowment" and the
offerings of its congregations. In
recent years contributions have been
insufficient for our minimum needs.
Yet If the undertaking was worth
while decades ago, it is a thousand
times more worthwhile now. We are
asking a vote of confidence from the
community. 1t is the Lords business
We are doing"
1t was reported that $9,107 of the
total campaign objective of $4,000
has been subscribed. Further gifts
