Guard John Corbett took a

Kidnapers Trapped in Syracuse

in Onondaga Prison pending dis

conviction.
While the trail was believed par
ticularly warm in this district,
search went forward over a wide
area. Entrance to Canada

OTHER LEADS
In addition to the Kings story,
police checked three other possible

An unknown woman in a brown

that they transferred to her ma

MARITIME UNIT.
URGES SUBSIDY
FOR SEA AIRLINE
Report Sees Planes as
Ocean Travel Mode
By EARL GOODWIN

Predicting that huge flying boats
soon will take the place Of the
; super-ocean liner, the Maritime
. Commission today recommended to
: Congress that the way be opened
: for Government subsidy of trans
> oceanic aircraft.
:. The recommendation came as
: the conclusion of a lengthy report
= on the relationship of aircraft to
the development of the American
: merchant marine and, if acted on
: by Congress as commission pro-
J poses, aircraft simply will be in
cluded in the scope and functions
of the recent merchant marine act
under which the American mer-
chant marine is presumed to have
the financial support of Govern
ment.
KENNEDY CONCURS
The report is largely the work
of the commissions staff of avia-
ton experts headed by the pioneer
( flying authority, Grover Looming.
It is concurred in completely my
Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy, Of
the Maritime Commission who,
in separate statement to the
press, declares that while fleets of
/ fast transoceanic flying boats
probably will put ships like the
Normandie and the Queen Mary
5 out of business, they would
not injure the ordinary plodding
merchant marine vessel-espe-
cially the freight ship.
1t is only where passengers and
great speed are the main factor,
so the report indicates, that the
coming ships of the air will be
supreme
RATES TO BE CUT
Although the superliner's fare
rates are to be cut in half in a
decade, the report indicates, nev-
gerthelesS the airplane will carry
passengers six times as fast.
EES "A fleet of flying boats on q
i daily service of three planes a
day would offer the same total
passenger capacity per year as
1.-The superliner," says Chairman
Kennedy in his comment on
1.-THE report.
E The planes, he adds, would cost
S18,OOO,OOO against the liners cost
Of $50,000,00O.
The big dirigible airship, like
the lamented Hindenburg, comes
off second best in the commits
sion's report while there is a dis
tinct boost for the flying boat,
the heavier than air type of ship.
MADE GREAT RECORD
The dirigible has made a great
record, the report admits, pro-
videS great passenger capacity
and comfort, but, the report says,
"the more recent development of
the large long-range flying boats
has made the past superiority of
the dirigible for transoceanic serv-
ice much less important"
The commission indicates that
even with helium-filled ships,
there is a question as to the COM
mercial value of these big Zeppe-
Inns and puts it Squarely up to
the Navy to determine their value
for national defense purposes.
Chairman Kennedy, however,
calls attention to the fact that
transoceanic aircraft will strength
en- the merchant marine as a
military auxiliary and that trained
and competent air personnel for
long range duty will be increased

PINCH-HITTING ACTOR
SCORES AS DOPEY DOE

TAKING the stage with a scant 10
days in which to prepare, Joseph
Hunter essayed the role of Dopey Doe
in the Blackfriars Guild revival OF
William Anthony McGuire's The Di-
vorce Question" last evening and de-
livered an effort worthy Of listing
among the individual triumphs of
guild members. The role, originally
assigned to flu-stricken Steve Trodden,
Is that of son shunted aside by di-
vorced parents, driven to murder in an
attempt to redeem his sister-an i'm
posing task to be discharged on such
short notice, but Hunter accorded its
hate and bitterness superb treatment.
The Divorce Question" is not new
play. 1t was that quarter of GEN.
tury ago and served. no doubt. as a
deeply moving indictment OF marital
disruption. 1t is. however, somewhat
too blatant preachment for today.
Plays with message" are not by any
means dated as cla.s, but their
purpose seems to be achieved more
satisfactorily now by subtlety, by whis-
per rather than shout. The Divorce
Question loses power through its
continual harping, the stark appar-
ence OF It's message" For the de-
pendable Blackfriars. however, MOTH
ing but the most glowing panegyrics,
theirs is a worthy revival, smooth
performance throughout.
Edgar M. Ford could have achieved
greater force in his Characterization
of Father Jerome. visited with tragic
though potent argument in support
of his church's stand. but his was
withal a creditable version The un-
happy parents, who live to regret their
action but refuse to ignore subsequent
entanglements and resume their origi-
nal duties. see their daughter die of
a broken heart, son taken into, Gus
tody as a murderer, were convincingly
portrayed by Julian Zier and Jeanne
Bateman, with Constance Haug Of
fering a poignant delineat.on of the
girl. Other worthy histrionics were
those of John Victory. William T.
Hannah and Leo Brady.

"STRANGE INTERLUDE"
REVIVAL AT LITTLE
o'Neill Play Well Performed by
Clark Gable, Norma Shearer
and Others.

THE sincere and dramatic screen
translation of Mr.. Eugene O'Neills
"Strange Interlude," which is now
being revived at the Little, seemed
yesterday evening to mystify a num-
ber of the citizens gathered to look
upon it. That is, it mystifled them
at first. Then they got used to the
technique whereby Mr. ONeill made
It clear what his characters were
thinking and enjoyed things. Seemed
to take about two reels of the piece
before newcomers in the audience
could settle down.
Maybe some of the people who
seemed not to know what was going
or have forgotten what Strange In
terlude" is. It's possible, perhaps.
Anyhow, this is it. There's a woman
who tries to govern and change the
course Of few lives Each of three
men supplies her with a different
quality she needs, and in trying to
keep all of them about her she sue
ceeds in messing up a lot of things.
The characters voices speak their
thoughts as we'll as the things they
say out loud. 1t really seems quite
superfuous to go into Strange In
terlude' with any detail, but the lad
in the row behind and the girl four
seats to the left certainly acted as
though they didn't know what it all
was about.
Strange Interlude," as it has been
transferred to the screen, is an in
tensely dramatic entertainment. And
It. is acted skillfully and faith
fully by Miss Norma Shearer, Clark
Gable, Robert Young, Ralph Nor
gan, Alexander Kirkland, May Rob-
son. Maureen O'Sullivan and others.
The Little's bill also includes
'Krakatoa," film showing the latest
eruption of the most famous volcano
in the World-the one that erupted
back in the nineteenth century, blew
a continent off the map and sent out
a tidal wave so powerful it went
around the world three times.
