[ WEN I | 'MANY FILM FAVORITES | ;| APPEAR IN “3 BAD MEN” | E o The opening i the Indian lands for settlement by the whites is .the epochal story of Fox Films Production of “3 Bad Men,” which is now playing at the Coliseum. George O'Brien plays the part of the hard riding young pioneer, Dan O'Malley, and Olive Borden as the winsome but courageous young orphan. The “3 Bad Men,” historically accurate portraits of the bad men of the period, are splendidly portrayed by J. Farrell MacDonald, Tom Santschi and F. Campeau. The supporting cast is one of the strongest assembled for a picture in some time, including as it does such well known film favorites as Lou Tellegen in the role of the villain, George Harris Jay Hunt, who starred in “Light- nin’,” 'Priscilla Bonner, Otis Har. lan, Walter Perry, Grace Gordon, George Irving and Alec B, Fran- cis. lr“FAUS'I' Is” AT PALACE, TOMORROW P MRTRESR 5 PO T st The newest interpretation Mephisto, Satan or the Devil, that rendered by Emil Jannings, distinguished character actor in the UFA production “Faust,” which comes to The Palace tomorrow. being almost human in his every Jannings makes of the evil one a move, yet with a swiftness, a dev- flishness, a swiftness that is not in_any,_ creature of this earth.

By JOHN L. COLLEY (A. P. Science Editor) (Copyright, 1928, Associated Press) NEW YORK, Au 15.—One of the dest tasks confronting Com- mander Richard E. Byrd when he started active preparations for his Antarctic expedition was the se- lection of the personnel. Moro than 15,000 applications jobs of” one sort or another ra- ceived, but all except of for were a few these volunteers were disappointed. | Byrd had 60 men. The commander’s first choice, of course, was the late Floyd Ben- nett, his companion and pilot on the North Pole flight. Bennett and Byrd had talked over the Antarctic project on the return age from Spitzbergen and had worked together in developing plans Bennett's death from pneumonia last spring deprived the expedition of an enthusiastic friend and an able airman whose place could never quite be filled. As the list now stands; the pi- lots who will fly on the Anatarc. tic trip with Byrd are Bernt Bal- chen, Harold I. June, and Dean C. Smith. Balchen returned to the United States with Byrd after the North Pole trip and was relie pilot on the America’s trans-At- lantte flight. It was Balchen who brought the plane safely to the ocean’s surface on the French coast after the aviators had sought in vain a landing at Lebourget. June is a petty officer in the room for only or navy and a pilot in the naval air| service. He is stationedatiHamp- ton Roads, but has obtained leave| for the Antarctic adventure, With Byrd and Balchen he will prob- ably be in the plane that attempts to reach the South Pole. Smith, the last pliot chosen, is a veteran air mail flier. He join- ed that service in 1920 and was one of the men who made the first night flight with mail between Hadley Field, N. J., and Chicago, two years ago. The fourth skipper of the party, barring Commander Byrd, who is also a pilot as well as a navigator —is Frederick C. Melville, His assignment is to guide the expe- dition ship Samson from New York MLy THE DAILY AL Byrd Picks Handful of Men from 15,000 To Go With Him on Antarctic Adventure | Be |ne | wi | | cid | th be ru | i | ex: tha er | he we ki Jol be of ge of m er dr M ar pa B. to, ce ed sn % i ARTHUR WALDEN to Dunedin, New Zealand, and |ca thence to Antarctica, a voyage of more than «12,000 miles (Captain Melville—he's captain, will celebrate his forty fourth birthday on August 16, He has been a seafarsr since boyhood and all but a few years of his gervice has been under il.

'them were obliged to eat their lunches at the same tables with men, a situation which the society solemnly discussed. The suggestion was made thai tables decked with flowers should be marked “For Ladies Only,” but the project was nipped in the bud by the ladies themselves. — TEACHE GO NORTH o Two teachers, for the westward and interior districts, are the steamer Aleutian, in port yes- terday from the south, ' F.
