Bremen Plane Work Begins Fliers Aided by Greenly Island Inhabitants; To Fly Today By CHESLEY SPURT!ELL (Copyright, 1928, by United Press) GREENLY ISLAND LIGHT HOUSE, Labrador, April 23.—(By courier to Point Amour, Labrador) — The little colony of permanent resi dents here and a handful of visitors were busy tonight making repairs to the German airplane Bremen to en able it to resume its flight to New York City. The relief plane from Montreal, driven by Bcrnt Balehen, and carry ing Major James Fitzmaurice, ar rived this afternoon, bringing a new undercarriage, new propeller and re placement parts for the Bremen, as well as cigars, cigarettes, wine, and delicacies- for Captain Hermann Kochi and Baron Gunther von Iluene feld, the German fliers. Work of repairing the Bremen be gan immediately. Dr. Cuisinier, who came here a week ago with Duke Schiller on the fiist relief plane sent by the Can adian Transcontinental Airway is superintendent of repairs to the Bremen. He will remain until the repairs are completed and then re turn to Montreal in Balehen’s Ford plane which arrived today, the two planes flying south together. Tonight it was expected the Bre men would be ready to resume its flight Tuesday. The weather here is favorable for flying and gives promise of remaining so. Rehearsal (Continued from page one) fied menns of ingress nt, tho second rehearsal. Though nothing is retracted from the first report of the progress of tho “Dream Follies,” much may lie added to tho second. A tremendous improvement was shown by every member of tho cast who got his chance on the stage—and most of them got a chance for the rehearsal began early in the afternoon, con tinued after dinner “and so far on into the night.” A delightful air of phantasy hov ers over the whole of “Dream Fol lies,” tho note being struck in the first scene and the tone maintained until tho final curtain. At Sun day’s rehearsal, tho script was not followed chronologically, but the mood was well sustained. Tho Kollego Knights wore there, coatless, sleeves rolled up, ready for action. A girls’ trio—Jo Ralston, Marjorie Clark and Louise Storla— began tho work, singing “The Danc ing Rhythm,” one of the leading song hits of tho show. Then the ponies took the stage. Tho capricious ponies, ultra-mod ernity personified, danced with a vigor and vivacity which, almost paradoxically, was striking because of its grace and charm. Action— much of it and fast—was the key note of both the pony dances, and the rhythm achieved in the re hearsal spoko of a great • deal of hard work on tho part of tho dozen girls and Camille Burton, who is in charge of them. Jack Reynolds and Edith Pearson next gave a practical demonstration of that imitative reaction, which given a long name, causes many a psych studo a great deal of grief. The whole of the small audience was following tho motions of the dancers before tho first three bars of music had been played—that is, of course, the nitdience followed as well as tho cramped confines of theater seats would permit. Natur ally there were encores, but these eventually gave way to the first scones in which the exposition of “Dream Follies” is condensed. Tho male and beauty choruses, directed by Grace Gardner, occu pied the stage during this presen tation. Jumping then back to the second act, Billy O’Brvant called Harriet Hopkins to the stage and there followed some of the clever est lines heard on the lleilig boards since “Cradle Snatchers” hit 10u gene for a one-night stand. Pantomime was the big shot of tho skit which came next, Razz Asbury nml Leonard Thompson oc cupying the spotlight. More shits, more songs, more clever lines, more music, more dancing came rolling out of the “Dream Follies,” reper toire hag, while the hour hand and the minute hand ran unequal races around the face of the stage clock. Dewey Baker danced a dance which was a dance and no mistake. Prom ises are promises, though, and if Classified Ads LOST—Square Chinese Scarf, with maroon color design on one side and yellow on the other. Lost in Guild theater during reper toire week.

Will the finder pleae call Katharine Talbott at 20-1! a24 anyone wants to find out, what the daneo was, lie’ll have to go to the show. The male chorus and beauty cho rus again came in for their share of the work, with Francis Mullins and Waiffe Hockett featuring. Rod ney Banks brought down the house with one of his specialty sinuous dances, masquerading so success fully as a Hawaiian skirt dancer that three of the men in the arnli eneo tried to get his address. Madge Normile succeeded in striking up an acquaintance with the devil, much to the delight of all concerned, and wound up her part of the program with a blues song bluer than the bluest blue Monday ever experienced by a fresh pledge. Practically the complete show was staged in bits in the afternoon and evening. Intensive work is still necessary especially on some of the lines, for the cast of “Dream Follies” to pro duce a completely professional show by Friday, but there is every evi dence that such work will bo forth coming, for those parts which al ready have been perfected show the evidences of long and continued ef fort.

Donut Golfers To Start Play First Round Must be Over By April 27; Best Ball To Win Match The Eugene Country club golf course is [loomed to lose many divots this week from the mashie-swinging efforts of intramural golfers. The first round of the tournament must be played off by April 27, which means that the last putt must be sunk before the sun goes down on Thursday. Two-man teams are competing in the tourney which is best ball match play for 18 holes. This is only one of a series of tournaments planned for donut golfers. There are sev eral others in the offing. The donut directorate believes that best ball match play is the best for the two-man team tourney because a good man will not be handicapped by a poor partner, and yet an aver age team has a good chance against a good player. The best ball will win, regardless of the number of strokes the teammate may have. Matches may be played all day Tuesday, Wednesday morning, and all day Thursday. Teams are to make their own arrangements as to the time of play. Registration cards may be had at the office of the men’s gymnasium at any time for $1.50, and the greens ticket must be purchased on the day of play by the contestant himself.
