distance, heard the, girl's screams.
Half a doien or more men ran to

AT THE
THEATERS
WHAT is probably the best, cer
tainly the most ambitious,
acting version of the "Mutt
and Jeff" comics is now running at
the Brandeis. It presents the he
roes of the "strip" in a series of
grotesque and altogether refreshing
adventures, ludicrous and laughable.
With the exception of the name and
the figures of the ill-assorted pair,
the production is new, and is cast
on fuller lines than any of the lot
yet shown here. William Gardner
as Mutt and Jerry Sullivan as Jeff
work hard to realize in life the re
lations of Fisher's pets and succeed
to the admiration of all. The story
now being utilized begins with their
visit to Chinatown, where they "hit
the pipe," and the dream that fol
lows is depicted in the Various
scenes and incidents that follow. A
Chorus shapely and sprightly, a good
singing and dancing cast and capa
ble comedians support the leads. The
songs are well put over, and the
whole was well received by the audi
ence presentjlast night. .
In order to accommodate all of
the public that would like to see
the current Orpheum show, the the
ater would" have to be considerably
enlarged. The bill is headed by
John Hyams and Leila Mclntyre,
starring in their model playlet,
Maybloom. Ihe Honeymoon,
presented by William L. Gibson and
Regina Connelli, is one of the de
cided hits of the show. Another
featured act is the musical clowning
performance contributed by tne
Arnaut brothers. The expert exylo
phonist. Lamberti, has a spirited
act, and Madge Maitland, the sing
ing comedienne, is a particular
favorite.
A f ' , ' ...
' n reai mystery piay, witn a genu
ine human story, is "The Revela
tions of a Wife," now running at
the Boyd. Told in a prologue and.
four acts, it unfolds a really interest
ing plot, its action being smooth
and snappy, with plenty of comedy
to keep all moving well. A good
company is presenting this piece
twice daily, the matinees being for
ladies only.
Nothing more funny has been
offered than Stewart Walker's pro
duction of Booth Tarkington's
"Seventeen," which will be present
ed at the Boyd all next week.
Gregory Kelly will be seen in the
part he created, that of Willie Bax
ter, and Lillian Ross and the origi
nal cast is supporting hint. Seats
for the week are now on sale. The
engagement opens on Sunday evening.-
"A Tailor-Made ' Man," Harry
James Smith's comedy, will bepre
sented by Cohan and Harris at the
Brandeis for a return engagement
of four days, opening Sunday. This
comedy is American in theme, ac
tion and atmosphere and will be
presented here with an excellent
cast, headed by Harold Vermilye.
Comedian Lew Hilton and the
patriotic "Girls of the U. S. A." will
hold forth at the Gayety this after
noon and evening for the last two
times and, starting tomorrow after
noon what might be termed the
pride of the Columbia circuit Max
Spiegel's newest offering, "The Abe
Reynold's Revue" begins a week's
run. The inimitable Abe, himself,
(heads the cast, and it is said that the
costuming of the chorus is unpre
cedented as to style, texture and
cast. Ladies' matinee at 2:15 to
day and tomorrow.
, "Twice a Week" is an appropriate
title for the comedy sketch featured
at the Empress this last half. Oc

official log of the trio, has traversed
1,603 miles, and Captain Smith has
piloted "Bluebird" 1,460. Captain
Smith, however, holds the advantage
of having traversed the hardest part
of the entire trip, while Lieut. May
nard still has it to negotiate. The
crossing of the Sierra Nevada moun
tains, west of Reno, Nev., is ad
mittedly tne hardest part of the trip.
Four planes from the west were
in the state last nieht. two of them
being held at St. Paul and. one at
North Platte, ready for a hop off
this morning, and the other being
"Bluebird." in Omaha. Th others.
all De-Haviland planes, piloted by
Lieut. L. C. Keil and Maj. Carl
Spatz, arrived late last night at St.
Paul. Lieut. R. S. Worthington is
pilot of the plane at North Platte.
Ihe remaining members of the flight
were held at Cheyenne, Wyo., and
Rawlins, Wyo.
Could Have Reached Chicago,
Captain .Smith declared on his ar
rival last night that he would have
been in Chicago instead of Omaha
had he been permitted to proceed
eastward from Salt Lake City
Wednesday afternoon after his ar
rival instead of being held there un
til yesterday morning. He brought
his plane to the ground in the
Utah city at 2:36 Wednesday after
noon and was not permitted to pro
ceed eastward because the landing
neia at ureen Kiver, Wyo., was not
in condition. After spending the en
tire afternoon at that place the con
trol station early yesterday morning
received authorization to eliminate
Green River from the list of con
trol stations.'
"Had this authorization been re
ceived Wednesday afternoon instead
of Thursday morning, barring acci
dents, I sure would have been in
Chicago instead of Omaha now," la
conically explained Captain Smith.
With the arrival of the three
planes from St. Paul early this
morning and the expected arrival of
at least seven more of the eastern
flight, bound for Mather field at
San Francisco, today, Omaha is
truly to become the center of the
country's aviation forces. Other
planes are expected also Saturday,
until all from both directions have
passed. As soon as the two flights
reach the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
they will retrace their flight until all
of the planes have returned to their
original starting points.
The round trip, according to the
government log book, will approxi
mate 5,400 miles.
No money prizes are being of
fered, the winning contestants, in-1
stead, being rewarded by promo
tions in the regular flying service of
the United States army.
Here 40 Minutes!
Lieutenant Mavnard. soent ahoiit
40 minutes at Ak-Sar-Ben field dur
ing his visit here. During that time
he and his mechanician. W. E.
Kline! were given lunch, and 40 gal
Ions of sasoline and two gallons ot
oil were put into the plane. He left
for St. Paul. Neb.. -at 1:34:8. .
Lieutenant Maynard and his me
chanician are accompanied on the
trip by a German police dog.
"Trixie," secured by the lieutenant,
while he was on duty with the armv
of occupation in- Germany and
which made the trip with him in
the Toronto international air derby.
The number of the plane' in the
list of entries, No. 31, is painted in
large letters on the side as is also
the serial number, 24113. Across
the nose of the plane are painted
the words, "Hello, Frisco," being
the place where the race was ong
inallv, scheduled to end, but which
has now been made the half way
point in the course.
Praises Omaha Field.
During his short stay in Omaha,
Lieutenant Maynard took occasion
to compliment the city on the class
of the Ak-Sar-Ben landing field.
"It is one of the best fields, outside
of Chicago, that I have encountered
during the two days' trip," was the
manner in which he expressed him'
self with regard to the landing
place. .
At the close of yesterday's flight
the flyers remaining in the race of
the 47 starting from Mineola, and
the IS which left San Francisco
were strung out across the country,
most of them accounted for.
Two machines from the west. No,
50, piloted by Second Lieutenant
Hall, and another driven by Lieu
tenant ruen, were missing . last
night. At Rawlins, Wyo., it was
teared they were lost in the moun
tain snow storms.
The day's flights were attended
by no fatal accidents. The first
day's record was marred by three
fatalities.
Crashes in Snow.
The most serious of several afcci
dents, nearly all' of them of minor
nature, was the spectacular crash of
Lieut. E. V. Wales' plane No. 63.
from San Francisco, on Elk moun
tain, at Obert Pass, Wyo., in a heavy
snow storm, rilot Wales was sen
ously injured and was taken to a
ranch house. His passenger. Sec
ond Lieut. William uoldsborough,
was only slightly hurt.
While rain in the east and middle
west made landing fields soggy and
dangerous, resultinc in a few. minor
accidents, snow in the Rocky moun
tain region made flyine difficult and
hazardous. The snow screened the
fields at Rawlins and Green River,
Wyo., and the latter early in the day
was eliminated from the control
stations, the flyers who left Salt
Lake City proceeding to Rawlins.
Besides No. 34, which fell in Lake
Erie, No. 27, piloted by Major Mil
ler, was reported out of the race be
cause of engine trouble at Rock
Island, III. No. 48, driven by Lieut.
H. D. Smith, was. smashed at Rock-
port, N. Y., and No. 59, piloted
by Lieut. Robert Kauch, was said
to be out of the race when landing
at Coalville, Utah, because of the
snow storm. No,' 33, driven by
Lieut. Norman H. Langley, also was
reported damaged in a forced land
ing at Hudsonville, Pa.
