PASSENGERS TO ENJOY RIDE ON AIR-MAHJOUTE Radio Programs Will Give Diversion; Comfort to Be Keynote. BY C. M. KEYES Written Exclusively for NEA Service and The Times. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—What, exactly, is the experience of the traveler who speeds across the United States on the Lindbergh line’s transcontinental air-rail service this spring in approximately forty-eight hours? American’s are familiar with railroad travel. When they contemplate a journey by train they know beforehand just how their time is to be spent. But a coast-to-coast trip over an air-rail route will be an entirely new experience. Colonel Lindbergh, chairman of the technical committee, is to spend the next few weeks in an aerial survey of the train-plane route. Your east-west traveler starts at New York City. At the Pennsylvania station he buys a through ticket calling for rail transportation by night to Columbus, air transportation by day to Dodge City, rail by night to Las Vegas and air again by day to his destination, Los Angeles or San Francisco. At dusk, he boards the train and takes his Pullman reservation. A night’s sleep brings him into Columbus in the morning, where he finds motor transportation to the airport awaiting him at the depot.

Accommodations Comfortable Within the station, the traveler’s baggage is weighed and checked, his ticket punched and his plane seat assigned to him. At 2,000, perhaps 3,000, or 3,500 feet, the altimeter shows, the pilot finds the most favorable air currents and straight toward the west the plane holds its even, level course. The air speed indicator registers 215 miles an hour. In the intervals between the pilot’s receipt of periodically radioed weather reports, music from a faraway broadcasting station comes in pleasing rhythm from the loud speaker. Above it, the motors’ cadenced thrum may just be heard. As the Ohio-Indiana boundary is crossed, the music suddenly ceases and the voice of the pilot comes out of the speaker: Fly Over Indiana "The large white house on the bank of the creek to your right stands practically on the state line. After that we shall be flying over Indiana.” And so Into the new Indianapolis airport, a hive of aerial activity. While the fuel tanks are being refilled, the passengers alight for a moment to stretch their legs. Then off again as before, across Indiana and into Illinois where, at East St. Louis, on the bank of the river just across from St. Louis, the airport will ultimately be located. There the plane makes a longer stop-over while the passengers lunch. Half-way across Missouri, just before Kansas City is reached, the plane passes an east-bound sister ship. Descend at Dodge City Another stop is made at Kansas City and a final brief halt at Wichita before the plane descends with the sun at Dodge City. At Dodge City, the Columbus transfer from train to plane is reversed, the traveler motoring from the airport to the railroad station to occupy a berth already reserved for him on a Santa Fe express. Next morning, in Las Vegas, he boards another waiting T. A. T. Ford transport. Between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, stops are made at Gallup. Winslow' and Kingman, with luncheon, perhaps at Kingman. If the traveler's destination is Salt Francisco, he boards another plane at an intermediate point which puts him down beside the Golden Gate just forty-eight hours after his departure from New York. Fire Station Burns HUNTERTOWN, Ind., Jan. 15. Fires, like chickens, come home to roost. Flames destroyed the Perry township fire station here with a loss of $1,500. The fire started from a stove used to keep chemicals warm.

AN AUDIENCE AND A CRITIC AGREE HERE Brandeis, Carroll and Mann Have That Entertaining Mt’ to Such Extent That a Show Must Wait. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN I WAS wild over the entertaining ability as well as good, sound showmanship of a certain act on the Lyric bill yesterday afternoon. This type of act is one that grows on you as all good showmanship acts do. Was anxious to see what the first show audience would .do to Brandeis, Carroll and Mann. They were well received during theri splendid combination of singing class as well as two eccentric actors. Rather a strange combination for vaudeville, but it certainly works. I was anxious to see what the audience would do. You know I believe in an audience.

I had already made up my mind that here was an act of such compelling comedy and singing charm that if had been In a $4.40 revue, the show would have stopped. And did the show stop at the Lyric yesterday? It sure did. Even when the conductor of the audience attempted to start the next act, the audience insisted that this team of three return. Brandeis, Miss Carrol and Mann returned after the lights were up for the next act. Brandeis thanked the audience and told them that the “next act was a great act." And it was. Am trying to tell you that this bill this week is the berries. With probable one exception this bill rims to hits. Brandeis is a singer. He know.-, the tricks of the voice of A1 Jolson and the manerisms of Georgp Jes sel. The combination did not impress me as a copy of the two, out rather the uower of good showman to put over a Berlin song number. And he stops the act with this number, but lives up to that degree of entertainment during the entire act. Miss Carroll and Mann are two eccentric comedians with Brandeis. The combination is a comedy sensation. These people work with “gusto” and how. Here is an act. You know my idea about Arthur Petley and his associates. This is a comedy trampoline act. Have seen many of them, but this is the best on the stage today. No doubt about it. Here is a comedian who knows how to bounce out laughs Lookout for Elkins, Fay and Elkins, three men, who dance and sing in an act that is built around the minstrel idea. These men know their business. Mighty good act. The Jean Schwartz Revue has good dancing, good piano playing and class. A real act. Was not satisfied with the material or thedelivery of Louise Mayo, who is billed under the title of “the singing comedienne.” Not so forty this act as being delivered. Should be better. Ling Tey company, good act of the human balancing type. The man’s combination perch and ladder stunt—splendid. The movie feature is “The Stool Pigeon.” Now at the Lyric.

LOOKING OVER NEW MUTUAL SHOW / “Nite Club Girls,” this week’s show at the Mutual has a little different atmosphere from the regulation burlesque attraction in that scenery and sets have received more than ordinary consideration, Billy Tanner’s fun is the mainstay of the show, however, and he seemingly never runs out of ideas for a wise crack or a comedy scene. Evelyn Whitney is the .feminine lead and creates much applause with her songs and dances. Other prominent members of the cast are Billy Lewis, assistant to Tanner

As A Preventive "It Several times a day, insert Vicks up the nostrils, also melt a little night and morning in a bowl of boiling water and inhale the steaming medicated vapors. 2. If a Cold Starts If possible, go home and go to bed. Apply hot wet towels over the throat and chest until the skin is thoroughly reddened. Then rub vigorously with Vicks.

At the same time, Vicks acts through the skin like a * r poultice. Repeat this treatment every four hours, eat lightly, and stay in bed until the cold is broken. Complete rest helps the body to throw off the cold more quickly. 3. After A Flu Attack Physicians advise that the chief danger in this epidemic is after Influenza.
