TUESDAY, JANTJABY ItML THE WAKRBN TRIBUNE PAGE THREE. FTER SIX IN WARREN I MYSTERY FEATURES FILMS 1 AT LIBRARY-COLUMBIA Two corking mystery films began Monday at Warren theatres. Finer I discrimination than this critic can i fer -would be necessary to tip the balance of favor to the Library's i "London After Midnight," or to the 1 Columbia's "The Cat and the Canary." Each is deftly handled, and comedy and tragedy are so delicately adjusted in both films that there are situations where only the touch of a master could relieve the tension of liorror quickly and raturaTly, LIBRARY There are some who, no doubt, Trill think that "London after Midnight," does not suffer appreciably because Lon Chaney seems to be somewhat in the background. Actually, Chaney is present in nearly every scene, ing a dual role that tests his skill to no small degree. Perhaps it is this very quality that subdues Chaney as the most promin- ent feature of the picture, and brings out the plot intp clearer relief.

Assuredly Chaney is responsible for the i conviction that "London after Midnight" is not a picture that soon will I be forgotten, although it does not rank among his best productions. All proper mystery stories should start with a murder, and "London af- ter Midnight" is no exception. And no mystery story is complete with, out a series of surprises, the chief 1 feature of which is to keep the spectator in doubt as to who committed the murder. It is here that this i Chaney film excels. It is as simple, and not a whit less so, to figure out who murdered Roger Somebody-or, other as it was, if you will remember, to decide who was "The Gorilla." Chaney needs no introduction as a past master of deception.

He attracts with a glance, and repels with a leer. Only, in he- does both -simultaneously, so that this critic, at least, was continually torn between a strong desire to cheer, and an equally strong 1 desire to hiss. Those who remember Chaney's' mask in "The-Phantom of the Opera," will have no difficulty in recognizing him in the disguise of a crooked, hobbling old man with a face that would throw even a mother into a cat fit. As a detective, Chaney is less fepul- eive, but considerably more "puzzling. "There isn't any question which-side the old man is but there will be a lot of conjectures as to who the detective is working for before the climax settles all doubts.

''London after-Mdnight" is a great picture for good guessefs. Try it and see.

We had our motor overhauled at Denver and expected to fly from there to San Francisco for the start.

COLUMBIA It is hardly necessary to say that The Cat and the. Canary" is a successful motion picture. Many critics in many cities have indorsed the film version of John Willard's stage success. To point out a few aspects of the play, and to add a rather superfluous bit of praise to an already generous need, is all that is left for any reviewer to do. One point, however, it may add to the enjoyment of today's and tomorrow's audiences to warn against.

Heed Manager Manley Parker's request, which is.flashed on the screen before every performance, to forbear telling friends how the play ends. There ia mystery enough for all--if the picture played here a week instead of three days. Nearly everybody knows--and "it doesn't make much difference, anyway--that "The Cat and the Canary" is based upon the murder of a lawyer, who in this case ia Tully Marshall, in a deserted mansion where six relatives of a recluse go at midnight to listen to the reading of his will. The recluse, Cyrus West, was a queer character and the opinion of his relatives that he was crazy finds some support in the strange provisions of his will. As Tully Marshall ia about to read one of these clauses to the sole Laura La Plante, a clawed hand emerges from behind a bookcase and jerks him out of sight.

That's the beginning of the action. There isn't anything, new-in "The Cat and the Canary." Cobwebs, secret panels, hidden -passageways, gusts of wind blowing 'through deserted corridors, strange noises in the middle of the night--all these have been used again again. It's the way Paul Leni has put all these things together that counts. Leni had a good cast to work with, too. Forrest Stanley, Martha Mattox, Creighton Hale, Gertrude Astor, Flora Finch and Arthur Edmund Carew give excellent support, not only to Miss La Plante, but to every incident of the play.

ka, the motor had lost a number of then it was only through night work and leaving a number of things undone that we got away. A fifty-gallon center section gasoline tank had been installed which, in addition to the. regular fuselage tank, gave us a capacity of one hundred and seven gallons. We installed the engine one night and idled it for several hours before daybreak in order to work in the bearings; then we took off for San Francisco. Our first stop was at Rawlins, Wyoming, where the highest field on the transcontinental air mail route ia located.

We refilled at Rawlins and made Evanston that night. At Evanston -we were starting the engine preparatory to taxiing over and tying down for the night, when our carburetor caught fire. In the haste to get started we had neither put a fire screen on the intake nor a drain pipe down from the bowl. The engine was covered with oil and the gasoline overflowing from the bowl carried the flames around it. Soon the entire nose of the ship was ablaze and, although we shoveled earth over the motor, it appeared that the wings would soon catch fire.

If the fabric began to burn, the ship was gone. I had just finished removing all loose equipment from the cock, pit when a email hand extinguisher arrived, and with its aid the fire was soon put out. All of the ignition wire insulation was burned off, but otherwise very lit. le damage had been done. We were delayed twenty-four hours rewiring the engine and cleaning out the dirt shoveled on in the attempt to put fire.

After Rawlins we stopped at Salt Lake City, and from there we flew over the Great Salt Lake Desert to Battle. Mountain, Nevada, where we spent the night. We took off from Batle Mountain with full gas tanks and, after following the passes until part of the fuel was consumed and the load corres- C' II 0 We flew to Lincoln from Sidney and after taking the short remaining time into consideration, we decided to abandon the race and start barnstorming. We overhauled the engine at Lincoln and worked over towards St. Louis, where we arrived about the end of October.

At St. Louis we decided to tie up for the Winter and I began instructing students for the Robertson Aircraft corporation on OX-5 Standards. The corporation had been awarded the air mail contract, but actual operation was not to start until the next Spring, so during the Winter months I spent my time instructing and test flying in their commercial planes. For the first time in my flying career I was to be in one place longer than a few months, so in November, 1926, I enlisted in the One Hundred and Tenth Observation Squadron of the Thirty-Fifth Division Missouri National Guard, and was commissioned a first lieutenant soon afterward. The squadron was stationed on Lam bert Field.

Every Sunday was spent in flying. We had a number of J.N. training planes and one T. which was the commanding officer's personal ship. The organization was composed make up the organization of a successful airline.

Contract air mail routes are located by the Post Office Department and are so arranged that the mail service can be improved by use of air transportation over other means of communication. The route is opened for bids and the contract awarded to the lowest bidder is responsible and in a position successfully carry on operations. The contractor can bid any amount up to three dollars per pound of mail anj 1S a id by the pound for the actual amount carried over his route. Our route, between St. Louis and Chicago, was operated on a schedule which saved one business day over train service to New York.

A letter mailed in St. Louis before three-thirty p. m. was rushed to Lambert Field by a fast mail truck, transferred to the plane which was waiting with engine turning over, landed on the Air Mail Field at Maywood, Illinois, at seven-fifteen, transferred to one of the Chicago-New York overnight planes, re-transferred at Cleveland, Ohio, and was in the Post Office in New Yoik in time for the first morning delivery. An answer could be mailed at New York in the evening and be delivered in St.

Lous before noon on the following day. If sent through the oidin- ary mail it would not arrive until one day later. The advantages of air transportation are most apparent over long distances. The air mail flies from New York to San Francisco in thirty-six hours, whereas a train requires nearly four days to make the same trip. The United States, through the efforts of the Post Office and the Department of Commerce, is being covered with a network of air mail routes and it is only a matter of the public using this service before nearly every WARNS YOUTH OF ALL-NIGHT PARTIES Evangelist Says They Weaken Mind--Urges Adoption of Christian Friends "Giving your heart to God is one of the greatest pleasures that can be afforded to the youth of today," Professor Waicn, song leader and assistant evangelist at the Grace Methodist revival service, told an audience of one hundred and fifty young people of the church last evening, following a delightful dinner.

"Association with the wrong kind of friends may lead one so far away that it is impossible to go back again, but choice of Christian friends will HHntr harnme nnrl contentment. The youth who loves to dance, play cards, poker, shoot crap and drink liquor will lead the very best kind of Christian from Christ. The parties that keep young people out all night are the dangerous ones. They tend to weaken the minds. Becoming a Christian will not take away good pleasures but will give the youth a fuller and happier life." The dinner was served by the Aid Society of the church and consisted of baked ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, salad, bread, ice cream, cake and coffee.

Miss Ruth Joshua, of Erie, daughter of Margaret Joshua, the evangelist, gave two enjoyable readings, the first "Seeing Things at Night" by Eugene Field and "Castor Oil" by Edgar Guest. A number of songs were sung which also added much enthusiasm to tha occasion. CAUTIOUS BUYERS a tb Classified Ads. carefully.

pondingly lightened, we passed over the Sierra Nevada range at 8,500 feet, and landed at California. The same evening, without refilling, we flew over San Francisco Bay to Crisse'y Field. The following day we took off from Crissey Field on the start of our race to New York. One of the rules of the contest was that each plane should carry a log with the starting point and number of. passengers carried attested to by two witnesses.

By the time we had made out the log and serviced our plane, it was afternoon, and darkness overtook us at Lovelocks, Nevada. The next night was spent in Raw- lins.Wyoming, after a stop at Salt Lake City for fuel. We arrived in Rawlins with a valve blowing badly and were delayed a day in pulling the bank and grinding in another valve. We were far behind our schedule, due to the late start from Denver, the delay'at Evanston, and again at Rawlins; but without further trouble we would still be able to reach New York on time. Another valve began blowing, however, soon after leaving Rawlins, and when we took off from our next stop at Sidney, Nebras- mainly of pilots, who had flown during the war, but after the Armistice had gone back to civilian life.

Their only method of keeping in training was by flying National Guard planes in their spare momenta and attending camp two weeks each year. Two nights and one day each week were devoted to military service by these officers and the enlisted men under them. Their pay was small and most of them lost more from neglect of their business than they received for their military services. The remuneration was hardly considered, they joined the Guard for two reasons: First, because of the opportunity it offered to keep in flying training; and second, because they considered it a patriotic duty to keep fit for immediate service in case of national emergency. Appropriations were not large and often insufficient, but although at times it required part of the squad- city in the country will bo served by airlines.
