Doubt Cast on Air Mark Bv Uni led Pro*,': SANTA MONICA. Cal., Feb. 11.— National Aeronautical Association inspectors expressed considerable doubt today that Miss Marvel Crosson s attempt to establish anew women's altitude flight record had been successful. Miss Crosson, 25-year-old San Diego avlatrix, said she thought she had surpassed the present record of 20.270 feet in her two and onehalf hours flight over Clover field here yesterday, but inspectors said that a preliminary examination of the flier's barograph indicated thather maximum altitude was 18,000 feet. The present record was established last December by Louise M. Thaden at Oakland. Joe Adams, National Aeronautical Association official, who sealed the barograph which Miss Crosson carried. said the instrument would be sent to the national bureau of j standards at Washington, for offi- j cial examination.

—jrrr r*

It was a dismal scene of widespread misery and suffering that met the eyes of the heir to Britain’s throne when he trudged along snowy roads of North England’s mining towns recently. The Prince of Wales, shown above in the grey overcoat and bowler, visited the homes of a few of the thousands of jobless miners, gave out words of encouragement to their families, studied the unemployment - situation first-hand, and left obviously depressed by conditions in the district.

FANNY BRICE IS HIT IN ‘MY MAN’

‘Bellamy TriaF at Loew’s Palace Is Good Mystery Film; Charlie Davis is Back at Indiana. BY JOHN T. HAWKINS THE song in a woman’s eyes and a tear in the melody of her voice reveal for a brief moment the real Fanny Brice as 6he sings her way through “My Man.” Just as the tragedy and sympathy in A1 Jolson’s voice made “The Singing Fool” a great picture, so does the warmth, and yearning and pathos in her voice make Fanny Brice’s “My Man” an outstanding song film of recent months. Through the medium of her voice she nestles close to you as you sit In the theater and tells you the secrets of- her heart. Not bautiful, not so graceful, but just Fanny Brice, a personality who understands what she portrays.

The story tells of Fanny Brandt* played by Miss Brice; her sister, played by Edna Murphy, and her little brother, played by Biily Seay. They live in a section of New York, where ham is one of the forbidden luxuries. Fanny is the rtiainstay of the little family, working all day in a thearical costumer’s shop, ekeing out enough money each week to send her little brother to school and keep her blonde sister in indifferent leisure. At the shop where she works Fanny is the favorite of all the employes, they like to hear her sing, and at every opportunity make her put on some costume dress and do a turn perched on top of one of the heavy work tables. And Fanny eDjoys it. One day the casting director for a musical show happens in the shop and hears Fanny sing. He is impressed by her voice and personality and promises her a tryout for a new show. Fanny is elated and her happiness complete. But when she gets home her spirits are rushed by her sister’s decision to go away with some rich boy friend and enjoy the taste of easy money. Fanny fails in her attempt to make Broadway on account of this and w’hen she meets a young fellow she has long admired as he stood in a drug store window demonstrating patent muscle builders, she promptly falls in love. A romance is about to end in marriage w'hen the blonde sister comes back and wrecks her sister's happiness again. She steals her lover. But then Fannie’s chance comes and she is offered a part in anew musical show. What she does with the part, and what is clone about the love affair are things that should not be told. You should see and hear. At the Apollo. tt tt n “BELLAMY TRIAL’’ IS REAL MYSTERY Thrills, suspense and chair gripping interest are the reactions resulting from seeing “The Bellamy Trial’’ at Loew’s Palace this week. A novel opening w r hich imparts an unusual air of realty to the picture, sweeps one into the heart of a drama in which two people are fighting for their lives against a murder charge backed by an immense amount of circumstantial evidence. Leatrice Joy has the part of Mrs. Ives who is being tried with Bellamy for the murder of his wife, Mimi Bellamy. The work of Miss Joy and Kenneth Thompson, as Bellamy, is well turned. The fight they are making gets into your blood and your sympathy goes out to them the minute they take the stand in their own defense. George Barraud as Mrs. Ives? husband, who stands by her during the trial, is a most convincing character. Two other characteers in the film, who are not parts of the trial, but who add to the interest, are Betty Bronson as the young student of journalism present in the court for expeprience and Edward Nugent, a reporter covering the trial for his paper. Their comments as they watch developments furnish a necessary light relief from the details of the legal battle. Mimi Bellamy is found stabbed to death in a small summer cottage. Bellany and Mrs. Ives are charged with the murder and are unable to satisfactorily explain their presence in the cottage on thfe night of the killing. During the trial evidence twelve fingers point at the pair. Each bit of testimony brought forth by the prosecutor strengthens the web of circumstances woven around the accused couple. But as the trial closes an unex-

pected witness appears and the whole fabric of the case is changed, leaving the mystery deepened. The ending of this picture surprises. The case is decided, and you and the judge know how Mimi Bellamy died, but the jury—and the world as personified by a movie mob—never learns the truth. Short subjects complete the bill. At Loew’s Palace. —— tt tt * GEORGIE JESSEL MAKES HIS BOW The talkies are getting all the popular stage stars now and the list would be incomplete without George Jessel and his interpretation of what a “mammy” song is. In “Lucky Boy’’ at the Indiana this week Jessel is at his best, singing a number of songs of the type that have made him well liked. Jessel at times gets a little too sweet. His affectation of mother worship would be strengthened if he would just leave out a little of the saccharine qualities and put a bit of he-man devotion in it. The story tells of young Georgie, whose father was earnestly trying to make a watchmaker out of him. Georgie did not take to the watchmaking business as much as papa wished and had wonderful dreams of the theater and the stage. And papa thought this was a sign of pure cussedness. In the end Georgie has to run away from home to get his chance. He goes west and in San Francisco makes a hit on amateur night at a rather hard-boiled theater. From then on his success is certain. He climbs to the position of the most popular night club artist and has the west at his feet when his mother’s illness forces him to return to New' York. Back to New York and the managers who had refused him a chance w'hen he needed it. Os course, his mother gets well and he is starred in a big musical show. The story could not be ended in any other way. The only real appeal of “Lucky Boy” lies in the songs Jessel sings. His voice is popular and he does not stint in the number of songs used m the film. On the stage Charlie Davis is back after n, week’s absence and is going strong. He has a capable stage presentation in “Bubbles of the Air,” the whole offering carried out with a radio touch tb add novelty. On the mezzanine floor this week a complete radio show is in progress with exhibits of many of the latest and most beautiful radio sets on display. At the Indiana. ft tt u NO NEED TO SAY MUCH ABOUT “ABIE” “Abie's Irish Rose” at the Circle is a story that does not need much criticism one way or the other. Like it or dislike it, it will remain one of the most popular plays that has ever been written. In this movie version there are. of course, many things that coula not be included in the stage presentation. Details too complicated for the stage are readily handled in the

film, adding, in the opinion of many, to the celluloid version of the Irish-Hebrew romance. So if you want to laugh again, and perhaps grow misty eyed, drop in and see “Abie” and his little Irish Rose. At the Circle. On view at other Indianapolis theaters today are “The Trial of Mary Dugan” at English’s; vaudeville at the Lyric, and burlesque at the Mutual.

Radio HUGE SUM PAID FOR ONE-NIGHT RADIOPROGRAM Atwater Kent Hands Over $4,000 an Hour; .Talent Is Extra. BY LEO R. SACK. Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—It costs the Atwater Kent Manufacturing Company upward of $4,000 an hour for nation-wide radio facilities for its Sunday night broadcasts, exclusive of cost of talent. Walter Damrosch receives $3,000 for the Saturday night appearance of himself and symphony orchestra. John McCormack was paid $3,000 for his last appearance before the microphone. Other talent is paid proportionately by the program sponsors. Nothing is taken for granted in radio presentations. All programs, regardless of reputation of artists, are rehearsed in advance; even Galli Curci must sing before she goes before the unseen audiences. This visit behind the scenes of the National Broadcasting Company, which maintains the largest hook-up of radio stations, is being disclosed in copies of testimony of Merlin Hall Aylesworth, president of the National Broadcasting Company, before the Senate committee investigating radio legislation, just published. Owned by Three Concerns The National Broadcasting Company is the property of the Radio Corporation of America, which owns 50 per cent; of the General Electric Company, which owns 30 per cent, and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, which owns 20 per cent. These concerns, all manufacturers of radio receiving and broadcasting apparatus, frankly sponsored the National Broadcasting Company to stimulate better programs, which in turn encourage radio sales, Aylesworth testified. The company operates at a deficit and provides programs itself when it has no advertisers to place on the air. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company leases its wires to the National Broadcasting Company and last years’ tolls exceeded $2,00C,0f)0. The same proportionate rates are charged by the telephone company to the Columbia Broadcatsing Company, its chief rival. Rates Are Same Rates of the National Broadcasting Company are the same for all broadcasters and every radio manufacturer, regardless of whether he is a competitor of the Radio Corporation and its associates, has the right to employ the National Broadcasting Coir-any facilities, Aylesworth testified. Public policy embraces* an attitude of absolute fairness to all, Aylesworth said, and it seeks to stimulate education, recreation through popular and classical music, and religion. Program preparations are not left to chance and the idea is to obtain a “pleasing, balanced, acceptable program.” Continuity or proper announcements are prepared in advance for announcers, who are supplied with cue lines and know precisely when and what to say. Stations associated with the National Broadcasting Company, Ayl""7orth emphasized, are owned by individuals and in program selections they take what they want and reject what they can not use.

Radio RADIO TO SHOW INAUGURATION Television Apparatus Ready by March 4. WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.—Television experimenters throughout the country will be able to see on the evening of March 4, motion pictures of Herbert Hoover’s inauguration. C. Francis Jenkins is arranging this historic radiovision broadcast. Even long before airplanes carry the films to theaters, a re-creation of the inaugural ceremonies will be sent through space via radio waves. Anew radiovision broadcasting station, using a short wave and 5.000 watts power, will be in operation near here by March 4, unless unforseen delays occurs, Jenkins told Science Service. Wherf this is in use, Jenkins plans to broadcast radiomovies every night, instead of three nights a week as at present. As the new station will have a band a hundred kilocycles wide, it will be possible to broadcast motion pictures in halftones, instead of only as silhouettes, as at present. The short time available probably will make it; impossible to broadcast actual television images Iron# the inauguration itself. Jenkins explained todays Motion pictures of the ceremonies will be made especially for the and rushed through the finishing laboratory so as to have prints ready for a few hours after Mr. Hoover becomes President.
