' HEADS LARGEST New Plays Brighten Screens| COLISEUM Bold Outlawry Rivals Weird Mystery CAPITOL OFFERS “BILLY THE KID" FOR HEADLINER of Wild West Enacted by Notable Cast “Billy the Kid,” which will open at the Capitol Theatre tonight has dor of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to the rapidly increasing list of pic- tures dedicated to various phases of American history. “Billy the Kid” relates the stir- ring happenings at Lincoln, Lincoln County, New Mexico, during the famous ‘“cattlemen’s war” of 1878, 1879 and 1880. The career of Wil- liam Bonney during that time is the crux of the wildest point the Wild West ever reached. History Class Pictures Other pictures in the history “Janice Meredith,” “The “Abraham Lincoln,” and Bonney was the most distinctive figure of his era. A product of his time, he defended “his friends with his pistol He thought noth- ing of open warfare with other men. He was the ringleader of the famous McSween gang in the Lin- coln County war. Chief Trait Was Courage “The Kid's greatest attribute was i his courage,” stated Eric Paulson, !mun:\ger of the Capitol theatre “The man lived by violence and | died violently, but possessed a brav- jery and capacity for leadership | which in more peaceful times, would have made him a valuable citizen. In ftelling his story, the photoplay does not mitigate his misdeeds. In fact, it tells them with all truth. I feel his example will prove to all young boys that none can get away with breaking the law.” Notable Players in Cast John Mack Brown plays “The Kid” and Wallace Beery gives an inimitable characterization as Sheriff Garrett. Kay Johnson has the feminine lead. Karl Dane is seen as the comic cowboy Swen- son. The large cast also includes Wyndham Standing, Russel Simp- sofi, Blanche Frederici, Roscoa Abes, Warner P. Richmond, James Mar- cus, Nelson M¢Dowell, Jack Car- lyle, John Beck, Marguerita Padula and Aggie Herring. . AIR TRANSPORT SYSTEMIN U, . Philip G.

Only 14 years ago he was sitting on a draftsman’s stool in the Boe- ing factory in Seattle. ~That was his first job after his graduation from the University of Washington where he studied mechanical en- gineering. Climb Was Rapid The Boeing company then was a small concérn pioncering in a new field. Johnson climbed rapidiy. After a year as draftsman he was made production manager. The next year he became secretary and superintendent, then general man- ager two years later. In 1926—at 31—he was named president. In those few years the Boeing company had become the nation's largest manufacturer of military planes. Johnson had supervised construc- tion of a wide variety of aircraft— from military ships to flying boats and mail-passenger planes. Some- times he takes the controls of a plane for a while, but he never has flown solo. Coast to Coast Service His presidency of the new United Air Lines system—which now in- cludes the National Air ‘Transport, Pacific, Boeing and Varney lines— will mean direction ‘of a 28-hour coast to coast service, in addition to routes linking the Great Lakes days to teaching, it's the proper thing for 'him to spend five eve- nings a week at the Knickerbocker Whist Club playing the game—to kee{z his hand in. She never has oc- casion to suspect him of using too mn{ “shots" in playing the “nine- feenth hole”—the suspicion that troubles wives of so many of the chasers after par. “Most of the stydents come to me after taey declde it is xeaper to learn the game from a teacher than to pay big losses after social games,” Shepard explains. “And they are most secret about it. The bridge teacher has as stringent an cthics code to live up to as the doctor or the minister. I've had'a husband and wife here taking les- sons at the same time—and neither knew the other was a student.” A bridge degree — the college doesn’t aetually give diplomas, however—costs from $500 to S1,- 000, and it requires from two to three years’ instruction and play to complete the course. ““The. mu;ent with lots of card sense doesn’t have to pay out as many dallars,” Shepard explains, “because he becomes a proficient player in a shorter time.” The bridge college occupies a suite of rooms in a New York hotel. There are three classrooms —small cubicles, just large enough to hold a.bridge table and permit room for five persons to move around. There are charts of typi- cal hands on the walls, as well as a small blackboard on which the instructor can ribe special problem hands. Both Mr. and Mrs, Shepard teach . . . and their classes never number more than four persons, just enough to make up a table. 1 el 3 A 1 Hats off to the batless lady in Shepard, the world’s first and only “brid ing a class in her husband’s bridge college. Individual instruction r: Shepard started the “bridge college” ten years ago at the sug- of players in the Knickec- ker Whist Club, among whom he had become one of the best players. At first he hired the best players he could find as teachers, ggmg very little instruction work is given, “And then I discovered that the students who came to the college wanted me to teach them, not one of the hired teachers,” Shepard ex- lains. “While flattering, that lidn’t suit my plans particularly. I'd retired from business only a few years before, and here folks were trying to get me back into e ess again.” He gave in to the popular de- mand, however, and today enjoys ing. Before becoming a bridge ex- ert, ‘Shepard was an engineer. \nd it is on his training as an en- Emue‘e'r that his bridge reputation is ul “It got my goat to be beaten this pictard. She's Mry E.

And it wasn’t Jong until was recognized as one of the four best at the Knickerbocker Club.” Since then Shepard’s fame has grown apace. He is recognized as the experts’ expert at contract bridge, and recently the British Bridge League for New York City made him its honorary secretfry. If the bridge college ever con- fers degrees it will have to decide whether to call a graduate B.C.B., for bachelor in contract bridge, or W.,CB., which might mean either widow or widower in contract bridge.
