Bluebird Looks Wicked to Wild Bill Cummings Indianapolis Driver Also Finds Beach Bumpy and Windy; He’d Pilot the English Beauty, Though.

BY HENRY M’LEMORE. I nitrd Press Staff Correspondent DAYTONA BEACH. Fla., Feb. 18.—Miss Bluebird, Sir Mficolm Campbell's 2500-hcrso power, seven-ton, SIOO.OOOO racing monster, has no more ardent suitor than Wild Bill Cummings, America's fori most driver and winner of the 1934 Indianapolis 500 Wild Bffl, here from Inoianapolis for a shot at the world’s Dieselmotor record, has his machine parked in the same quarters that shelter Miss Bluebird. and when he is not fuss.ng over nis own car you are sure to find linn standing enraptured before the British beauty.

It was at Bluebird's Mde that we found him. He was just standing there, looking at the s’eek, blue, 28-foot juggernaut, his face a study in admiration. “Kind of like that job. don't you. Bill?’' we asked. “There is a whole lot of something.” he replied. “A whole lot of something. Man, wouldn't I like to get in that buggy and go for a ride. You know, she looks faster j standing still than any other carj I ever saw boiling along at top speed. Ain’t she pretty?” We said yes, the old gal sureiy was pretty, but didn't he think she I was a little too dangerous? Or did he rate driving at Indianapolis, with j all the curves and all the traffic. ; more hazardous. m a a “£HE'S the most dangerous car m the world. I guess,'' Cummings replied. “She must be, with i that speed under her liocd. Did j you ever figure out what 300 miles an hour means? That's going around ! that Indianapolis track in 24 seconds. Driving her down that beach, j with your foot on the floorboard, must be a lot worse than Indianapolis or any other track. You got a j lot of things to worry you at Indianapolis—turns, about 30 other cars flying by you, and all that—but you can make a mistake and still come out alive. Let Campbell make one. and they'll be looking for him all the rest of the week. 1 blew a tire at Indianapolis in 1931. bounced all over the track and then hit a wall, and it didn't kill me. But let Campbell, running that Bluebird ! there, blow a tire, and he'd wind j up in Spain. And in several parts of Spam, all at the same time.” MOO iyE asked Wild Bill if he W thought driving the Bluebird, required as much skill and courage i as racing on a track. “More or both. I found that out the other day when I drove my Diesel down the beach. I didn't get any higher than about 135. but I the car liked to jump out from un- j der me. I hadn't even thought about the wind, but I'm telling you! that breeze ofT the Atlantic caught 1 me once and blew me 10 feet to one i side. It must be hell on Campbell when he's going around 300. And I hit a little patch of wet sand that missed throwing me into a broadside skid by inches. I was able to pull out of the skid, because I had the time. But if I had been going, 250 they would have had to fish me' ou\ of the ocean. And the bumps, the beach locked smooth as a billiard tabic when I started, but by the time I got over a hundred U felt like I was driving up a railroad track on the ties.” Did he think he could drive Bluebird to a record? And would he try if Campbell would give permission? “I'd try, of course. What driver wouldn't? But they'd have to give me a long time to practice. Cause I ain't the suiciding kind." GILLIE WINS $19,650 IN SANTA ANITA DERBY B'j Time* S peci’tl LOS ANGELES.

Baxter Helps Janet Gaynor Score New Triumph in Film at Apollo

HERE is a sweet little story about a bunch of down-and-outers. Warner Baxter, Janet Gaynor and Walter King are on the waiting lists for food and work in “One More Spring.’’ Baxter always has been able to inspire Miss Gaynor to do her best

work. The fact is I think that with Baxter, Miss Gaynor does a much better job than with other leading men. In this picture there is not too much of any one person. The trouble has been that often there is too much Gaynor when the story does

not demand it. The verdict is that in

Janet Gaynor

“One More Spring” there is a Gay-nor-Baxter combination that is going to please the majority. Baxter is first seen as an auctioneer who possesses a very famous bed—a bed that Napoleon had slept in but which even the rich didn't have money to buy. That is all Baxter has in the world and he is joined by King, a great violinist whose fiddle isn’t able to produce even an occasional ham sandwich. Baxter and King move the bed into a great city park and use the sky as a ceiling to their “room. The story gets rather gay and funny and the two on the orders of a copper move the bed, not out of the park but into the park stable used by the park custodian for refuse. Then romance starts because Miss Gaynor arrives with an empty stomach and no purse at all. But she is a woman and the auctioneer and the violinist share the few comforts they have. Then romance and temperament and even a suggestion of tragedy follow. The movie has been cleverly directed and the sound is right. Now at the Apollo. ana A Fine Movie FROM the standpoint of action and suspense, as well as comedy, “Devil Dogs of the Air” is one movie of the air which has everything. James Cagney, as the boasting and egotistical stunt flier who joins the flying United States marines, and Pat O’Brien as the hard-boiled marine flying officer who gets his fill of Cagney, are just the right pair to put this story over. These two are fighting all the time whether they are in the air or are trying to hold hands with Margaret Lindsay, who turns out to be the girl friend of both, but she makes a decision before the last fight between Cagney and O’Brien. “Devil Dogs” is the best movie of the actual making of a war fighter in the clouds that we have had in the last three years. Be sure and take the entire family to see this one at the Lyric. There also are two outstanding vaudeville acts. They are Eddie Peabody and his violin and Hector and his trained dogs. Peabody has gc’-e far on the radio and cn the stage in the last few years. He can do things to a banjo as well as a 16-string guitar that nobody can equal on the stage today. He is in a class by himsc’f. Hector has humanized his dogs to the extent of making comedy artists as well as trick .specialists out of them. Others on the bill include Adelaide Hall in songs; Marcy Brothers and Beatrice in some good and poor comedy acrobatic material; Wynn Lee and Norris in an eccentric comedy offering, and the Young Kam Troupe sh a good and fast working oriental offering. Now at the Lyric. tt tt tt Here Is Another Winner “'T'HE GOOD FAIRY” is as wild A as a March Hare. It is as swift as an airplane. The unvarnished truth is that here is hokum acted with a million-dollar cast. This modern, satirical yarn about a girl usher in a great movie palace in a great city who decides to do

a good turn daily at least to one person is grand fun. It is acted by Margaret Sullavan as the usherette who turns out to be a good fairy, Frank Morgan as a goofy millionaire who supplies the cash to pay for the good fairy's good deed, and Herbert Marshall, a struggling lawyer who is the

Li

victim of the good fairy’s good intentions. If you like goofy, smart and tantalizing fun, then put "The Good Fairy” down on your must shopping list. The best acting of this interesting trio of players is contributed by Frank Morgan. He is superb as the millionaire who would like to be wild but whose blood pressure and common sense prevent him from being entirely nutty. This is no reflection upon the straight as well as the romantic work of Marshall. He is just the right person for the role. And the goofier that Miss sullavan becomes the better you will like her. Now at the Indiana.

The Theatrical World

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

Popcorn Eaters Return SOME days ago I told you about “The Gilded Lily” with Claudette Colbert and anew movie actor by the name of Fred Mac Murray. These two sit for quite a while eating popcorn on a park bench while they dream as they watch the world go by. These two popcorn eaters then start an experiment in making a fictitious character great by getting into the headlines. On the same bill at the Circle is anew feature, Edmund Lowe and Jack Holt in “The Best Man Wins.” Florence Rice and Bela Lugosi are in the cast. tt 9 tt Ulric Here Today TONIGHT at 8:30 at English’s "Leonore Ulric will open a three-day engagement in “Pagan Lady.” At 8:15 at the Academy of Music the male chorus of the Indianapolis Maennerchor, with Dusolina Giannini as the guest artist, will appear in recital. t> tt it Another Movie Triumph “SEQUOIA” is the greatest document of Nature the screen has ever produced. It is the simple story of Gato, the mountain lion, and Malibu, the deer, who when tiny novices in the animal world are rescued by Toni Martin (played well by Jean Parker, a young girl living in the high Sierra wilderness with her father, a nature story writer. When Toni brings home the deer and the lion, he expresses doubt that she will ever get them to live peacefully together. But there is formed between the spindly-legged little buck and the clumsy kitten a bond of relationship which endures. Malibu grows up gracefully and in peace and although Gato’s adolescence is reached gracefully, he takes a few midnight rambles to neighboring chicken coops and pig pens, and comes home with blood on his sleek coat. The photography in “Sequoia” is amazing. “Sequoia” is packed with thrills, beauty and comedy, all drawn from the vast theater of the wild, uncharted world of the animal kingdom where self-preservation is the principle of existence. Russell Hardie, Samuel S. Hinds, and Paul Hurst also do well as support for the animal stars. Here is a pleasant and intelligent story placed in a folk talj setting which will be equally acceptable to old and young. Now at Loew’s Palace. (By J. W. TANARUS.) a tt a Le Gallienne Keeps Date ALTHOUGH Lee Shubert canceled the current tour of Eva Le Gallienne in “L’Aiglon” for the purpose of bringing the star into New York in anew play, Miss Le Gallienne today announced through her personal representative, Mary Ward, that the star will continue the tour under her own management. This means that she will fill all of the bookings previously made and that she will be at English’s for two nights, starting Monday, Feb. 25.

Pole Vaulter Fails to Clear Bar, Helps Win

By United Press BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 18.—"A glorious failure” was the only way to describe the performance of L. Hibbits, Rhode Island State pole vaulter, in the University Club track and field games Saturday night. Hibbits failed in all three tries to clear the bar at 10 feet 6 inches, where competition began. But because there were five scoring places and only five contestants, he was awarded fifth place and one point. As it turned out, Rhode Island State edged out Amherst by a single point, 40 to 39, for the Class B team championship. PEORIA NAMES MANAGER .

MACON'S CRASH VICTIMS TELL THEIRJSTORIES Survivors Are Interviewed; Hauptmann Doomed to Die in Chair. The landing of survivors of the Navy’s great dirigible, the U. S. S. Macon, which crashed of Point Sur, CaL, is to be seen in the current issue of The Timcs-Unlversal Newsreel. Graham McNamee, radio announcer and the screen's talking reporter, describes this and the other important events in the reel. The $2,450,000 airship plunged 2500 feet to the surface of the Pacific, sinking rapidly as warships rush to the scene to take off survivors. The men are brought to shore, shaken by their terrible experience. Vivid accounts of the disaster are presented by the victims themselves in newsreel interviews. Among the other important events in the current reel is the conviction of Bruno Richard Hauptmann and his sentence to die in the electric chair for the murder of the Lindbergh baby. A graphic review of the crime leads swiftly to the jury’3 return from 11 hours of deliberations to name Hauptmann guilty while thousands mill about in the street before the historic courthouse awaiting the momentous verdict. Hauptmann goes to the State Penitentiary, to the death house and the chair.
