Sends Congratulations

SAN JACINTO, Calf, July Is.
(UP)-Three daring Soviet filters
riding a red-winged, single-m
tored monoplane cover the top OF
the world" from Moscow, circled
out of the sunbaked hills south of
this tiny desert town yesterday
and landed in cow pasture, shat
tering the world nonstop flying
record by more than 1000 miles.
The giant Russian plane, which
fought through Arctic billiards.
and buffeting storms over the Can
adam Rockies, was forced to land
when leak in a gasoline line sent
spray of precious fuel squirting
into the air behind the roaring
flame of its exhaust.
Pilot Michael Gromov, Co-Pilot
Andrea Yumashev and the navi-
gator, Sergei Danilin, grinning de-
spite their WEAKNESS, found them
selves unable to talk with any per-
sons in the crowd which rushed
toward the Soviet plane.
With gestures for emphasis,
Gromov wrote:
"Sixty-two hours and thirty
minutes in the air."
That was the elapsed time since
the trio of intrepid Russian air.
men took off from Schelkovo air.
port, near Moscow. at 1924 p. m.
(EDT) Sunday. They landed at
about 1880 a. m. (EDT), making
their official elapsed time 62 hours
and six minutes.
The filters, lost for hours early
yesterday as they roared down the
Pacific coast on the home stretch
of their trip; had indicated they
would "fly until the fuel gives
out"
They reached San Diego, Calf,
ID miles from the Mexican line,
then turned back northward in an
effort to land at the army airport,
March Field, near Riverside.
San Jacinto is 80 miles from
San Diego.
The Russians explained that
they had intended to land at the
big Lindbergh airfeld at San Die
go, but fog, which clouded their
way down the California coast,
made it difficult to estimate land
ing conditions at the field.
The instruments of Gromov's
plane will be sent to- Washington,
D. c.. and officially checked by
the National Aeronautical Associa-
ton.
Maj. Victor Stratum, army air
corps officer at March Field. was
the first to greet the fiiers official
ly. He flew here from the airfield,
a few miles north, after receiving
word of the landing, and took the
Russian airmen back to March
Field by automobile.

 Sylvia Sidney gives her greatest performance as Drina, the little slum girl who fights a valiant but losing battle to save her small naoth- erless brother, Tommy, from the gangster's fate she has seen the slum mete out to so many of its sons.

Yet he faces the new and most difhcult battle ot his life without flinching. After his famous attack Is published, he is tried for libel in one of the most unjust trials of history. Condemned to prison, he Is forced to flee to Eng land from which place he continues his attacks on the army.
 Paul Muni's portrayal of Emile zola is a magnificent piece of work better If possible than his charac- teriSation of Louis Pasteur the sci- enlist.
 Captain Dreyfus is splendidly played by Joseph Schildkraut, who was, incidentally, a boyhood chun1 of Muni's in their native Vienna.
 Others of note in the cast are Gale Sondergaard as Mime. Dreyfus Gloria Holden as Mime. Zola, Henry o'Neill, Louis Calhern, Vladimir Sokoloff, Morris Carnovsky and Donald Crisp.
 "The Life of Emile Zola" Is a thrilling, absorbing story, beautifully directed by Dieterle and produced with extreme care and lavishness by the Warmers. It's as exciting as any melodrama of 1887 and @ great pie ture of all time.
 The companion feature Is lover The Goal" a football classic with more thrills than a game at the Rose Bowl. Johnny "Scat" Davis and June Travis head a noteworthy cast.

'OVER THE GOAL
 AT STATE TODAY
Paul Muni in The Life of Emile Zola' Completes
 Banner Bill

One of the greatest claims to fame possessed by the Republic of France is that 1t was the birthplace and the homeland of Emile Zola, the immor- tai novelist. His name is to France what Shakespeare's Is to England.
 And now, for the first time, zola reaches the films. With Paul Muni In the name part, "The Life oi Emile Zola," Warner Brothers su- preme dramatic triumph which be- gins a four day engagement at the State today.
 There Is @ strong temptation, of course, to compare this epic drama with the one that gained for Muni, last year, the Motion Picture Acad- emys award for the best perform ance by an actor in l9S6-"The Story of Louis Pasteur."
 There's the same star, the same director (William Dieterle), and the same lavish type of picture-making Possibly this may mean another gols statuette for Paul from the Acad- emy. At all events, "The Life oi Emile Zola" is a truly great pic. ture, and many observers believe it to be even greater than "Pasteur."
 It runs through the entire career of Zola. First he Is seen as a strug- gling young writer, sometimes obliged to pawn even his shirt for bread. Then he meets the girl ot the streets, Mana" (played by Erin O'Brien -Moore) whose life he de. picts in a novel that earns him enor. nous sums and lifts him to inter- national fame.
 But most of the story has to do with zolas courageous defense of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, the army officer who was framed on a false charge of selling secrets to Germany, and who was sent to the horrors ot Devils Island.
 The picture shows zola writing his bitter attack on the army clique, called T Accuse" which was print ed in the newspaper of Georges Clemenceau, who later was to be- come the "Tiger of France" in the World War. And this resulted flnal- ly-as those who know their history are aware--in the restoration oi Dreyfus to his old post. No more gallant deed than zola's can be im-
