COBB Fugene PALLETTE Stepin Fetchit TONIGHT LAUGHS WITHOUT LIMIT! A THOUSAND THRILLS! WILL As rival steambeat captains on the Mississippi during the colorful 1880's, the two great American humorists miss no opportunity to jibe at each other’s failings, his- cories and home towns in this pic- ture. When the time for the steamboat race arrived, Rogers decided to call his craft “Claremore Queen,” in honor of his home town in Okla- homa. Cobb countered by naming his “Pride of Paducah” since he thails from Paducah, Kentucky. What Cobb hadn’'t counted on was Rogers' boat beating his. Now he's wondering how he’ll explain it to the folks al home.

Prospect Seems Remote INSURANCE Allen Shattuck Established 1898 (Continued from Page One) tax on corporation incomes. His proposal immediately is at- tacked on the one hand as a plan to “soak the rich,” and on the other as a disguised thrust at “the little fellow” who, it is argued by some | of Mr. Roosevelt’s opposition, would have to foot the bill eventually. On top of this, Congress has re- |written the Roosevelt program, bringing into play a sliding scale lor corporation rates so intricate that it is almost impossible to ex- plain in language understandable by the layman. To some of this ad- ministration officials object, thus inferentially washing their hands of the political consequences. The re- |sult will probably be more rewrit- | ing. In the end, whose bill will it be? Who can be held accountable for it at the polls, when apparently every one finds it unsatisfactory? Beset by technical controversy, and |even contradictory statements of | fact, how can the voter tell what the bill really means, especially as its practical operation will be de- layed until next year?

(A«lccnaled Press Photo) STUNT FLIER SCHWAMM TO ; LOCATE HERE - ,,,vIs Considering Making Ju- neau Home—Some of His Experiences G. 8. (Tony) Schwamm, stunt flyer from Hollywood, said today he is considering permanent location in Juneau. Mr. Schwamm, who owns an air service in California, stated ithat he has leased his plant and equipment to motion picture inter- ests for the production of a new feature aviation picture, “Devil's Squadron.” A fire last October which destroy- ed the machine shop at his plant, valued at $10,000, followed three days later by a plane crash in'which his right leg and arm and several ribs were broken, were in part re- sponsible for his trip to Alaska, Mr Schwamm stated. He arrived here {about two weeks ago. Deal by Pangbui Negotiations are at present under with Clyde Pangburn for the use of a “Flying Wing” plane, own- ed by Schwamm, on a round-the- world non-stop flight, Mr. Schwamm |said. The plane was built about —-— | four years ago by the Boeing Coms | | tures in :pnnx from designs drawn by Claire { Vance, who was killed two years la- | ter wi flying a mail plane be- | tween Oakland and Reno. The “Fiy- ing Wing” has the record of lifting | more gasoline from the ground than | any other single motor ship in ex- ence, Schwamm said, and has a apacity of 1260 gallons, with a | cruising range of 10,000 miles. Pang- | burn hopes to fly around the world | with the “Flying Wing,” non-stop, refueling twice enroute in the air, | schwamm said. The plane has no fuselage, he said, but the cockpit and engine are mounted upon the forward surface of the wing, which is connected with the tail assembly by a spar. The tail assembly was redesigned and rebuilt at Mr. Schwamm' plant Appears in Films Pilot Schwamm, who is a mem- ber of the Motion Picture Pilot's Association, and of the Professional Pilot's Association, has appeared in | most of the famous aviation films. He worked one day in Squadron,” written by Dick Grace, famous stunt flyer, shbrtly before leaving California, Schwamm said. But the last picture in which he | k- a part was “Country Dooctor,” starring Jean Hersholt and the Di- nne Quintuplets, Among the pic- which he has appeared e: “Lone Eagle”, of which he was co-author and technical direc- tor; “The Lost Squadron”; “Hell's Angels,” in which Schwamm had charge of all machine gun work and fired more than two million rounds; “Lilac Time”; “Pilot X"; “Sky Bride”; Hcmen High and | | !

She gives one of her most convincing per- formances in this comedy of in- trigues which stars the romantic Lederer. Produced by Jesse Lasky and di- rected by William Wyler, the pic- ture tells the story of a poor girl who pretends to be rich and a rich man who pretends to be poor —and of the hilarious misunder- standings that pave the way to a glorious romance. Hell Deep”; and “Now WeTre in the Air,” starring Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, Pilot at 15 Pilot Schwamm began his aerial career in 1918 under the tutelage of Al Wilson, known as the greatest stunt flyer in the world, who was killed at Cleveland while flying an old “pusher” nival when he encountered an auto- ' giro in the air. Schwamm was a one time the world’s youngest fly- er, when he became a pilot at the age of 15 years. He won several| races throughout the States in 1922 and 1923 with a Newport 28 plane, with a top speed of 140 miles per hour, he said, and he still owns six Thomas Morse scout planes, known as “Tommies,” which are the old- est ships in existence flying today, and are being used in production of “Devil's Squadron.” In Schwamm owned the only genuine Fokker plane in the United States, la “D-7," he stated. | Sound Effects The first attempt at sound eifecls in connection with motion pictures was made when “Wings” was shown at a theatre in San Antonio, Texas, Schwamm said. “A bunch of the pilots in the picture went behind the screen and illustrated machine |gun fire with a wooden rattle, and plane crashes with tin pans” he |said. The sound effects were later made into a phonographic record- ing, which was not found to be suc- | cessful as the record invariably got out of time” with the film. Amelia Earhart learned to fly at | Schwammy's, school in 1923, Pilot Schwamm said, in a 3-cylinder Kin- ner plane, which was latér sold to | the famous woman flyer. - ATTENTION ELKS Open House Wednesday evening after regular meeting for Elks and their families.
