WALES AND HIS YOUNG BROTHER ‘AIR CONSCIOUS' Two Princes Plan to Fly as Much as Possible This Winter. Bp Unit fti Pres * LONDON, Dec. 9 —The prince of Wales and his younger brother, Prince George, plan to devote as much time as possible to flying during the winter. The heir to the British throne, who has qualified for his "A” and “B” pilot’s certificates, has spent more than 200 hours in the air. Prince George, who is learning to pilot a plane with the intention of winning a pilot’s license, has more than 130 hours’ flying to his credit. Plane Is Heated To insure comfort during the cold weather, the prince of Wales has had a heating outfit installed in the airplane which he purchased last summer for his private use. The heater operates from the exhaust. The fumes are collected in a series of tubes, pass through a filter and circulate around the two cockpits. The prince has arranged to receive weather forecasts from the .air ministry during the winter months. Carries Many ‘Gadgets* The prince’s plane, which bears the registration marks, G.A.A.L.G., carries perhaps mare “gadgets” than any other plane in the world. There are specially constructed compartments for his luggage and that of his pilot, a receptacle for his walking sticks and golf clubs and a special liead-rest behind which he can store away his hats, gloves and overcoat. DEMOCRAT TAKES OVER CITY HALL ELEVATOR Charge Negro Operator Was Too Active for Republicans. Republicans may participate In politics although they are on the Democratic administration pay roll, but they must not become “too active!” Dupe Granger, Negro, veteran city hall elevator operator, a Republican, turned over his car to Earl Van Hoy, Negro Democrat, today. It is reported at city hall that Granger was “too active” in the last election and had to be replaced with a “better man.” Granger denied the political activity. Christ Huffman, city hall custodian, said Granger had “layed off considerable lately.” Van Hoy was named on recommendation of Sterling R. Holt, Democratic party leader and city controller, and is expected to stick through the fouryear administration of Mayor-elect Reginald H. Sullivan. WAR TOO EXPENSIVE War's expense is one of the major reasons for its abolition. This was the theme of an address by the Rev. William F. Rothenburger, pastor of the Third Christian church, in an address Sunday to the Christian Men Builders class of the church. “Statistics show that it cost the world $9,000,000 an hour to conduct the late war,” he said. He attributed the crime wave of the last ten years to the World war. Suicide at Connersville 84/ Times Special CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 9. Albert S.

Gas formed on my stomach every time I ate anything, and the bloating and cramps pained me terribly. Food felt like a rock in my stomach At times the pains were so intense I could hardly breathe. Often I sat up half the night trying to get my breath. I thought I would die. Nothing gave me any relief, and I was on the verge of despair when I started to take Viuna. At once I began to improve. My appetite came back, indigestion vanished, and now I eat anything I want I sleep fine, am not nervous any more, and never have those awful dizzy spells. My skin is clear and I've gained ten pounds.

“FLIGHT” IS ONE OF TEN BEST MOVIES

Jack Holt and Ralph Graves Give Probably Their Most Thrilling and Finished Performances.

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN RIGHT now I will tell you that I am giving “Flight” a seat at the table of the ten best movies of the year. I will not even wait until the close of the year to give this picture its justified reward. We have had a bunch of these flying pictures and those associated with the army and the navy as well as the marines. It remained for “Flight” to glorify the fighting marine type of picture. Here is a picture that has been done on a large scale. I might say a vast scale, but one becomes so intimately acquainted with each character that they do not beome lost even when they are in a war.

We are concerned chiefly with the ' fine acting of Jack Holt as a marine officer of the flying division and | Ralph Graves, one of the young ma- ! rine fliers. These two men become ; real friends only to have a battle nearly until death because they love ! the same girl, a nurse, played by

Lila Lee. This may seem to be the regulation stuff, and it is but this picture excels in the art of taking : this old formula and dressing it up _ so as to make it i iook new and great. Holt and Graves can always be depended upon to give that genuine human he-man characteristic to the character being impersonated.

Lila Lee

You actually get the impression that Holt has been a hard-boiled marine all ol his life. Holt is at his best, way beyond his former best, in “Flight.” Graves gives a wonderful performance of the chap who goes marine to forget a blunder he pulled on the football field while at college. That blunder made him the laughing stock of the world but he lives it down when he fights death in the clouds and death In a burning airplane to save the life of a buddy. I liked Lila Lee In this picture. You know that I have not been wild over her but in “Flight” she gives an honest and human performance of a nurse who actually loved one man and was brave enough to say so. “Flight” has the best photography of any picture that I have seen that has dealt with aviation. Marvelous in that respect. It has been wisely and humanly directed. Great theater. Now at the Circle. nan TRYING TO MAKE JOAN LIKE CLARA It seems to me that they are trying to make another Clara Bow out | of Joan Crawford. And for no reason whatsoever they ! are starring her in “Untamed,” a ■ mighty weak, overdrawn story. This

movie starts out with an impossible scene showing the natives in some far-away island making silly whoopee. This Is probably done to make Bingo, played by Miss Crawford, look more wild than she is able to make the character look. Bingo is not native, she is white. Her father is killed in

Joan Crawford

a drunken fight and poor (?) little Eingo starts back on a ship some time later for New York with a friend of her father. The "uncle” friend is Ernest Torrence. Torrence ! gives the best acting performance in a picture that is blessed with poor and overdrawn action. At no time did Miss Crawford convince me that Bingo was wild, and even when Bingo was tamed Miss Crawford failed to develop the character to that degree of realism which was needed. And, by the way, the talking voice of Torrence is splendid. There will be many people who will like Miss Crawford in “Uniamed” because it is wild in spots and the story is geared up to meet box office demands. Have your own idea about this

when it can keep ablaze in a country like Siberia. Snow and more snow, it sure must be cold in that place. And when I am cold, well it’s just too bad. I do not have much love for anything except a red-hot fire. But this is not true of the two men in love with Dolores Costello in “Hearts in Exile.” Both are will-

ing to sacrifice their lives for her happiness, and one docs. Some parts of this all-talking picture reminded me of “Resurrection.” If you liked that picture, I am sure you will like this one a! r o. It gets a little sentimental sometimes, in fact I should say very much so, but the theme is big, and the dramatic suspense gripping. It is not often that two men love the same girl enough that they will give her up to the other. Still some girls are lucky. The story begins in Moscow. Dolores is in love with a medical student, played by Grant Withers. Withers is a good sort, but not dependable. Dolores, however, who wants to get away from the smell of fish, which prevails in her father’s fish shop, puts the smell above love, and marries a baron. You see Grant wanted to keep on living with her father after they tied the noose. Things go along nicely until the baron’s property is taken over by the czar, and he is exiled to Siberia for twenty years. At the same time Grant is exiled for two years, because he struck a policeman. Rather cruel over there then, weren’t they? The two men met, and Grant sacrificing eighteen years of his life, exchanges places and names with the Baron, so he can go back to Dolores. Well, Dolores follows her husband, and finds Grant. The old love is renewed. When the baron finds them later, after he has served the two years, he plans and escapes for

I “Hearts in Exile” has been well photographed and well cast. Others m the cast are James Kirkwood as the baron, and George Fawcett as Dolore’s father. Other features include several shorts and newsreel. ’ This week until Saturday at the Apollo. (By Connell Turpin.) a a a “THE MIGHTY” PROVES TO BE GOOD ENTERTAINMENT. “Give a bad dog a good name, and he wall try and live up to it.” These are the words spoken by Esther Ralston to George Bancroft in “The Mighty.” Before the war George was a gunman. One of those bad, bold

men. Afraid of nothing. After the war he was still the same, but not in the hearts of the people, who knew nothing about his past. He was a brave, good man, capable to do anything he wanted to do. And so he v.as offered the job as chief of police, in a small city several miles from New York. His job was to

Bancroft

clean out the town. And did he or not. All, but his own gang, were run out or put in the jailhouse. After the cleanup, his gang, at his call, had planned to make another kind of cleanup. But Bancroft changes his mind. The influence of a good name begins to get under his skin. So when the gang is all set to pull the dirty work, he says to them no. The leader of the gang, played by Warner Oland, says yes, and then the fireworks began. Victorious, Bancroft keeps his good name and wins the prettiest girl in town, played by Esther Ralston. “The Mighty” is great material for George Bancroft and proves to be very interesting entertainment. The war scenes are not so plentiful to bore you, and the action is swift. Go see this one, I am sure you will like it. On the stage Charlie Davis and his orchestra in “Five and Ten Follies” play George Gerswins’ “Lisa” and another popular number “Miss You.” On the whole the stage show is better than the average. Roy Sedley is the featured comedian. Very good. L. La Granna can play the piano sitting or standing in most any position and Phil Arnold can make his feet dance about as fast as anybody I have seen for a long time. Newsreel conclude the bill. All this week until Friday at the Indiana. (By Connell Turpin.)

DIES IN FREAK GLIDERSCHEME Air Currents Bring About Daredevil’s Death. Bp United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.—His novel plan to cross the Golden Gate in a glider towed aloft by an airplane, ended in death for Charles Ferguson Jr., 35, army warrant officer. He hurtled 100 feet to the ground Sunday when thrown from his glider by a freak air current which shot the craft skyward as the rope to the airplane drew taut. His screams, as he plunged head downward, were heard by 5,000 spectators. Mrs. Ruth McMorris Ferguson, his bride of four months, collapsed as she watched. They had kept their marriage secret until the tragedy. The glider rose to fifty feet before the plane, piloted by Frank Ryan, took off. A sudden gust of wind apparently carried the glider straight as as the plane gathered speed of sixty miles an hour and Ferguson stood up in his swaying craft as the rope whipped taut. His safety belt broke and he was hurled into the air. CLARA’S BOY FRIEND SETS WEDDING DATE Fiance of “It” Girl Says Wedding Will Be on New Year’s Day.

She is convalescing in a sanitarium from a nervous attack, resulting from an appendicitis operation and overwork. “Clara will leave the hospital next week,” Richman said. “She will join me in New York and on New Year’s day we will be married.”
