It was announced the record, as a world mark for women, would be certi- flgd as ofticial by Ivar L. Showgram, abserver for the Aero Club of southern California. Mile. Peyre bettered by 1,000 feet the unofficial_record made in Kansas by Amelia Earhart, but failed by 5000 feet to equal the Pacific coast record of 20,000 feet for fivers of either sex, now heid by E. M. Remlin. She used a seventy-horsepower sport machine made especially for her. She was in the air an hour and ten minutes. She started the flight late in the afternoon and at 15,000 feet, according to the Tecording thermometer she carried with her, found a temperature of 38 degrees. Mlle. Peyre is twenty-three years old and has been flying for about two and a half years, mostly in America. Her three brothers, all in the French flying service, were Kkilled during the world war. She recently announced her en- gagement to marry Capt. Cyril Turner, formerly of the British fiying corps. G. W.

The situation rises to a wholly un- expected climax. . “Just Missed,” a comedy by Mr. and Mrs. Carter de Haven, and the Rlalto Orchestra’s rendition’ of Offenbach’s “Orpheus” are added attractions.

The cast in- cludes Noah Beery, Alan Hale, Tom Wilson, Dick Sutherland, Frank Campeau, Walter Long, Lionel Bel- more, Hardee Kirkland, Edwin Stevens and Jack Curtis. A'tense and suspenseful ~plot _provides episodes leading to a big climax. Miss Chad- wick Is charming and Mr. Dix natural and grimly determined in the hero’s part. Tom Wilson provides the comedy in one of his inimitable blackface roles. A Hal Roach “Our Gang” comedy, in “The Cobbler,” the Kinograms, the “Starland Review” and a two-part organ recital by W. complete the bill. CRANDALL'S—“The White Flower.” Betty Compson, garbed in the grass habiliments of a Hawaiian dancer, was pictured yesterday at Crandall's Theater in “The White Flower,” to- gether with James Aubrey's latest two-reeler, “The Detective.” “The White Flower” {s based on supersti- tions of the native Hawallans and introduces picturesque rites and cus- E.
