A certain well-known saxophone tooter is reported to have been badly knocked about and bruised by the action of the cruel waves on the side of the great ship that was proudly bearing him to this land cl the free and home of the brave recently.

The light cruiser "Alberto da Giussano," launched April 21, today attained 40.7 miles an hour in a test, a figure claimed as the world record for cruisers.

Over a distance of 160 miles an average of 39.3 miles an hour was made. The ship was designed to develop 95,000 horsepower and make 37 mLes an hour, but it actually shows 110,000 horsepower. Brainard Field Lease Renewed At Same Figure Curtiss-Wright Gets Five-Year Contract at $280 Annually Because of the present period of general business depression, the City Aviation Commission, at its meeting Monday afternoon at Brainard Field, decided to renew the Curtiss-Wrignt Flying Service lease on airport property without raising the company's rent. The lease, which Curtiss-Wrlght took over when they bought out the New England Aircraft two years ago is the first city lease at the field to expire under terms whereby the commission may. if they see fit.

raiss or lower the rental price. At the present time, the commissioners agreed, the aviation companies would not be able to stand increased expense and they decided that by assuming this general policy they would be materially assisting the local aviation companies. The Curtiss lease, wnich expires in November, was voted to be renewed for another five years at the same yearly rental of $280. A special resolution was passsd by the commission expressing appreciation of Captain Herbert H. Mills's management of the reception to the French flyers Monday.

The first business before the meeting was in connection with the filling of the swale to the south of the field. Hiram Percy Maxim, chairman of the commission, brought to the attention of the mer3rs that actual work on the low marsh was started by the dredges Monday. A resolution was passed to accept the offer of the R. C. Huffman Company, contractor for the dike, to dredee and detwsit 360.000 cubic feet of fill for $64,800.

It was then moved and passed that the city engineer be empowered to check work each month and "prepare ft certificate of approval for the monthly cost of the work. Authorization was also given to the City Controller to draw funds from the treasury of the commission, smarting immediately, to pay the bills for the swale fill upon re-celnt of the city engineer's approval. The proposal made by the Shell Oil Company to put a gas station in at the field, facing the road on the property between the Pratt Whitney and the Descomb Flying Service hangars, and to put a refueling pit on the field was tabled by the commission for further discussion.

Grand Theater Offers 'Get Hot' Burlesque Show This week's bill at the Grand The ater is being played under the title "Get Hot," with comedians All Hillier and Joe Forte as featured players. The show is in two acts and in 33 listed scenes, keeping the large company very busy indeed and exercsing the stage crew in no slight degree. According to the program there is one scene very early in the devoted to the plot of the revue, but to an onlooker arriving a little late it seemed as if the piece were put together along the usual burlesque lines and that it was played about as usual. The chorus is employed in many guises and disguises and, figuratively speaking, gives a very good account of itself.

One or two new-comers in the ranks also lend an element of novelty to some of the dance and march routines and there is one scene in which a dozen or more of the girls are given solo lines to sing, some of the voices coming out very well indeed. The comedians were well applauded for their efforts at Monday's first performance and the acrobatic dancing that was done was approved. Some handsome costumes are worn by the principals other than the comics and the lighting effects are pleasing. The show will be repeated twice daily this week. Curtain at 2:20 and 8:20.

It is reuorted that Miss Charlotte Granville, who played here in the MacBane company and was In "Let Us Be Gay" during its entire New York run and now is In "Dancing Partner," is about Co celebrate the fortieth anniversary of her first appearance on the stage. And knowing Miss Granville as an admirable player who makes no bones about being able and willing to play mature women on the stage, I congratulate her on her coming anniversary celebration and wish her many more years of stage success. But when I read In a traae paper ithat Miss Granville is now playing Vhe sixtieth role of her career I am moved to wonder. For it hardly seems possible that an English actress, as Miss Granville is. could have acquired a stage training such as she undoubtedly had, without playing hundreds of characters in her time.

Granting that the actress may' not have been professionally employed aU the months of all the years of her stage life, still it does not seem possible to me that she has averaged fewer than three roles a year. For it is only by extraordinary luck that players manage to hit engagements in plays having long runs. And I believe this is even truer in England, where most of Miss Granville's playing has been done, than in this country. in all rather than believe the trade paper's generalization. I would rather like to see a list of the characters and plays of Miss Granvilles experience and count up for myself.

How About That Composition? If any reader of this column has been doing any composing of chamber music he, or she, may be glad to read the following and brush the dust off the manuscript before sending it out. "The Society for the Publication of American Music an nounces its 1930-1931 Competition for Publication of New (Chamber Music Works by Ameri-T'can Composers. Through this competition, which results in the publication of outstanding new works, it helps to meet the American composer's pressing problem of being able to have works of merit published. The -Society for the Publication of American Music selects two or, three works from the entries and pavs far their publication. Notice of the awards and copies of the new publications are sent to each member of the Society and in this way the new compositions are brought to the attention of music throughout the country.

During the eleven years since its lounding in 1919 the Society has published twenty-three Chamber music works and five orchestral works. On its list of publications it numbers with pride some of the finest works by American composers. The Society is limiting its efforts this year to Chamber Music compositions: songs and solo pieces with piano works for piano alone and orchestral compositions are not included in the scope of the Society's activities. The terms of the competition are: 1 Compositions should be the work of American citizens or by composers who have applied for citizenship. 2 Manuscripts should not bear the composer's name but should be marked with a pseudonym.

The composer's name and address wwl postage for the return of the manuscript should be enclosed a sealed envelope matted on the outside with the pseudonym. 3 Manuscripts should be sent to the Secretary, Mr. Oscar Wagner, at 49 East 52nd Street, New York City, before October 15, 1930."

Eleanor Coming Back, Hollywood, Sept. 15. (NANA) Eleanor Boardman will come back to talkies and Loretta Young will get the lead opposite Ronald Colman when shooting of that story begins once again.

Which proves to us that some of the names and faces of the screen are still familiar despite the cry that new people are displacing all our old favorites. Loretta Young is no did favorite, she is one of the youpgest of the pro group to make good; but she made suenis also, and that includes her among the crowd identified wnn movies exclusively. fcleanor Boardman who has been very much occupied with her new baby of late, returns to the screen in "Tne Big Meadow' with Johnny Macs Brown. Her talkie ventures nave not been gay things from any point of view. To begin with Eleanor oBardman was the girl chosen by M.

G. M. to play opojsite Jack Gilbert in that thorough going flop "Resurrection." Tnen I saw tne Boardman in a nlc ture made by an independent com pany, a story of Africa called "Mam-ba" which even Jean Hersholdt couan save. in the interim there was a Roland West story, "She Goes to War" which revealed Eleanor Boardman as a very pretty girl without much to oner tne laming picture industry, jaui, uue tan worn wonaers with a voice in the time which has elapsed since King Vidor's wife slipped into the semi-obscurity of the non-working element here. Such is the competition in talking pictures that one finds producers snapping wnicn do not come up to scratch.

From this opint of view it is reasonable to believe that Eleanor jtsoaraman nas conquered her vocal difficulties else she woman i De given a. lead in a big (j.i,uic uiui is going to cost plenty As for Loretta Young, she is re- fiating Constance uummlngs, a little girl from the legitimate who had dizzy experience in a Lonsdale play for Colman. Loretta Young is capable, available at. tne time, and of good height and iype lor coiman. Tne clcture was stopped peremptorily by Goldwyn because it lacked quality, so a choice had to be made quicWy.

Fortunate for Loretta Young. Dolores Del Rio and Walter Huston will begin actual filming of a new picture within a week. Rehearsals now going on, promise one-of the best roles for Del Rio that she has had in -a long time. As heroine of "The Dove" there is legitimate place for her Spanish accent. Physical frailness threatens Dolores Del Rio's career.

According to Hollywood rumor the toil of movie making is telling on a delicate constitution. It is hard to rest in Hollywood if you belong to the picture group. S.x months rest is almost equal to bein? forgotten. Janet Gaynor ran as near the annihilation line as is safe in this community.

Y. "Jimmy Valentine" has a formidable competitor in Otis J. Chase, 30, of this city, when it comes to walking through an apparently locked and heavily-barred door. Chase, it should be explained, "disappeared" from a cell in the Hartford police lock-up Sunday afternoon. Word of the escape was learned Monday when police, after withholding details of the man's successful break for freedom, moved to recapture the fugitive.

Arrested on the East Side Saturday night, Chase was locked up in ceil 28 and booked to appear in Police Court Monday on a charge of drunkenness. At 2 o'clock the following afternoon he was found missing. Although no definite information was it was learned that the man presumably escaped soon after he had been served a noontime meal in his cell by a station house policeman. The door had been closed but the bolt probably had not caught. The fact that the door was first opened in the usual way before Chase was found "among the m'ss-ing" made it impossible to determine whether it had been bolted.

Chase evidently made his wav through the door leadine to the cell block which was unlocked and passed yit thrown the tviiice station un- noticed.

She has a very soft face, a gentle mouth, a cunning nose and eyes of the very darkest brown. The life of her face is concentrated in those black-brown eyes. Her hair is graying and curly.

During long years on the stage Beryl Mercer never knew nard times, or walking the pavements, or casting offices or theatrical boarding houses. That is why perhaps her career has left no mark of the stage in her personality. She is much more the mother as she was in her screen success "Seven Days Leave" than she is an actress doing movies in Hollywood. She was born in Spain. She loves the hot countries, yet makes you think of London.

Her father was in the diplomatic service of Spain and her mother. Beryl Montague, who was was a concert sing Beryl Mercer lived a great part of her life in London. She was eight years at the Drury Lane Theater there and two years in "Two Little Vagabonds produced at the Princess Theater. Then later she was with the Schuberts in New York. She always used to play boys' parts.

Her debut in pictures was in a special bit in Maurice Tourneur's "The Christian." Beryl Mercer went to Hollywood this last time at the behest of Joseph M. Schenck. She planned to make one picture, "Three Uve Ghosts," and have a bit of a holiday. She made that one picture, but after that, the rotund little lady has been kept trotting from one lot to 'the other Just as fast as she could cover distances. Her latest work was in "Common Clay," the picture play.

ing at the Capitol this week, starring Constance Bennett ana Lew Ayres. Beryl Mercer is perhaps such a good actress because she takes vacations from her job and mental vacations from herself. She has a daughter Joan, aged 12, and they go everywhere together. She has a canary and no hobbies. She reads biographies and historical novels and plays the iano.

She had no consuming ambition as a child. She loves to plav parts with both comedy and pathos, because life is like that, she says. About Chaplin's Next.

Chaplin, who writes. acts directs, casts, produces and edits his own pictures will turn to his first of synchronization as soon as the photography is nnlsned. Yes synchronization. There will be no dialogue in the picture the master 6tates. Ten, Tch! Chaplin will let no mistake be made on one point.

He is the champion of the silent pictures and there is no disposition on his part to be anything but that. And he probably will get away with it. If he should take a financial beating on his writ ing, acting, directing, casting, producing and editing, he very likeiy would show a disposition to be something other than the champion of the golden screen.
