President Roosevelt on Saturday
afternoon will motor to Gravelly Point
to personally inspect the site selected
for the new airport
This trip will be in advance of the
ground breaking. the date for which
has not yet been selected, but which
probably will be Monday, Tuesday or
Wednesday of next week.
This was the opinion expressed to-
day by Edward J. Noble. chairman of
the Civil Aeronautics Authority, un-
der whose supervision the airport will
be built Mr. Noble announced that
1t is felt fairly certain that the air
port will be ready for use within the
next IL months and that the total
cost will not exceed $7000,0O0 He
explained, however, that it would take
at least two years before all buildings
and approaches will be finished.
During his call at the White House
today Mr.. Noble showed the President
blueprints and architectural drawings,
which the latter approved. According
to the present plans the airport will
occupy $50 acres Of land and will
provide 10 hangers. large admin
istration building and 7,000-foot
runway. The plans also call for
moving back inland a short distance

film MUSICAL
TRIUMPHS AT
CAPITOL SHOW
Grand Opera Star, Lily
Pons, Goes Popular in
Hitting New High

Dealing in joyous fashion with
the efforts of a young French sing
er to win operate recognition
through an ingenious hoax, petite
Lily Pons' new vehicle for RKO RAJ
dio, Hitting a New High tonight
at the Capitol, brings riotous mu-
steal and comedy triumph for the
diva, with Jack Oakie as her CO.
star.
With John Howard opposite the
famous singer, and Eric Blore and
Edward Everett Horton in added
comedy support to Oakie, the film
is said to be one of the years de-
lightful offerings. Its seven song
numbers, ranging from modern
tunes to classic arias, and its many
hilarious complicat tons all make for
a highly entertaining film, the third
in the little French sopranos car
eer.
The dual theme of the story re-
wolves around Miss Pons' ambitions
to sing in opera. A chanteuSe in a
Partisan night club, she breaks eff
her romance with the band leader,
Howard, and endeavors to get a
hearing from Horton, millionaire
big-game hunter and the principal
financial hacker of a New York
opera company.
Horton refuses to see her; he is
on his way to Africa after lions.
But his press agent, Oakie, plots
with Miss Pons to bring her to Hor-
toms attention in unique manner
She precedes the party to the Afri-
can jungle and let's Horton dis
cover" her as she pretends to be a
"bird-girl," a shipwrecked waif who
has grown up among the birds and
has learned from them how to sing.
The outcome of this scheme leads
to many delightful mishaps that
keep the story moving at a swift
pace.

new DRUMM0ND
FILM is PLAYING
COLISEUM NOW
Mystery Plot Thickens in
Latest Detective Thrill
er Starring ]. Howard

A fine character returns TO the
screen with the new picture, Bull
dog Drummond Comes Back which
opened last night at the Coliseum
Theatre. The picture brings a new
Drummond to the public in the per-
son of John Howard, who plays the
role with eminently satisfying dash
and humor. This latest picture lives
fully up to the high tradition set by
previous Drummond pictures, being
as thrilling and breathless mys-
terry as the public is likely to see
this season.
Endowed with a dizzying pace by
the direction of Louis King, the
film rushes across the screen with
the tale of the kidnapping of Drum
monds fiancee played by Louise
Campbell, and the resultant chase
of the kidnapers across England
with Drummond and his friends in
hot pursuit. There's fighting and
action galore in every reel of the
story, and a hectic climax which
threatens to wipe out Drummond
and his associates in lethal gas
chamber.
John Barrymore takes the part
of Colonel Nelson, a Scotland Yard
official, in a role that allows him
several queer makeups as well as
opportunities to show off the Bar
rymore talents to the best possible
advantage.

ionship from the surf boat crew of
the cutter Haida, Boring Sea cham

vision championship is 500, ten dol
lars to each man pulling an oar,
while the Pacific Coast Champion

over 300 pounds and the surf boats
the equivalent of one ton and an
average SHELL" with a weight Of

and the 1888 Worlds Speed Cham
pionship, with a total of 41,453

Another interesting note is the
fact that Mr.. Saksvig won his title
on an l.. C. Smith typewriter, even
though, as Lii Hung Chang said
about the horse race, it is already
known that some people type faster
than others.
