On the same bill Monte Blue win be seen In his latest whirl wind railroad thriller, "The Black Diamond Express." It's a long cry from such plays as "Bea-Hur ana scaraiooucue to Ramon Novarro's latest char acterization. One is the type of mighty drama in which physical action rules the other no less mighty but based on. mental rather than physical forces. This is "Lovers," now at the Elsinore, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's sensational new stcry : of modern Spain a vivid drama in which the villain is an army of the whisper ing tongues of slander. Novarro plays a young piay- w r 1 g V: innocently involved, through alande?, he is unable to trace or corabat'in a scandal with the wife of his best friend. It la a dramatic. 'situation as powerful as though it required armies to portray tn the screen; it is one of the' most sensational dramas of today.' ' The star's characterization is remarkable. As the young artist, coping against the enormous odds of the unseen enemy, heiises-to the heights of acting genius. -The duel scene, the only physical clash in the remarkable play, is superb ly done. Novarro is a magnificent swordsman, as is John ".Miljan, and the scene will long rank' as among the greatest duels of the screen. Alice Terry plays the. heroine. Her beauty is secondary to a won derful gift of acting, and the dif ficult role of hte slandered wife is a new triumph, fox the heroine of "Mare Nostrum , and "The akagiclan." ? John M. Stahl directed the new production, staged on an elaborate scale at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer f studios. The cast includes Ed ward Martindel, Edward Connelly, George K. Arthur, Lillian Leigh ton.

This modernization of the French clas sic called for a degree of lavlsh ness in production that excels ev en the most elaborate of Miss Tal madge's previous pictures. "CamilleV boudoir, as visual ized in the picture, is declared to achieve the ultimate in richness of decoration and furnishings, from the beautiful bed, withits black satin spreads and pillows, to the smallest articles in evidence. The celebrated "Lady of the Camellas'" Persian bath, simi larly, is a setting of rare beauty, with its striking tile and marble effects, Its colorful decoration and its gorgeous draperies.' Other evidences of luxury are found in the ball room and gamb ling room which serves as the scenes of an elaborate entertain ment attended' by the most spend thrift group of merrymakers in Paris. The revel is featured by a "pageant of the slreus," in which popular beauties portray the not able heartbreakers of various per iods in history.

Fred Thomson Js one of the most popular stars on the screen today, and in his latest picture, "Arizona Nights" he Is sure to please all toe fans that have been thrilled by his former releases. "Arizona Nights" goes back to the days when America, was just another . name in, the unknown western world, and when the in trepid explorers did not know what danger lay around the next turn in the road or river. All this glorious spirit of uncertainty is shown so plainlythat it will make every American boy proud of the country that is his. and the glor ious history that is also his and his country's. Lloyd Ingraham is the director of this epic of the screen, and the exceptional cast includes such stars as Nora Lane, J. P. McGow an, Lottie Williams and William Courtright. LINDY DELIGHTS OREGON PEOPLE WITH SINCERITY (Continued from Page One) and "Lucky Llndy" are quite in apt when applied, to the Colonel. This had been well demonstrat ed earlier in the, day by the way he handled "The Spirit" over Portland, and in the landing at Swan Island airport, i It was more emphatically evi dent in the answers he gave to questions. They indicated that there was a man who knew about flying who would never have at tempted a non-stop flight over the-Atlantic without complete plans and full assurance that the enterprise , would be successful.' -V'He replied to each question re garding aviation fully, and with TOMORROW AND 3ATURPAY; OX THE STAGE- 5 SNAPPY ACTS VAUDEVILLE -1 9 tr - v t careful attention to accuracy. Twice, he called upon Manager Donald I.'eyhoe, of the Guggen heim fund, for statistics which he did not have readily In his own mind, and once when Mayor Bak er attempted to interpose a re mark before a query had been ful ly disposed of. the mayor was ask ed to wait a minute. "The engine1 now In "The Spir it" is the tame that carried us ov er the Atlantic," he sajd. "It has not even been overhauled since the trip and I have been In the air 251 hours." It is dificult to estimate the life of an aeroplane engine, the colonel volunteered, but one should be good for at lease one thousand hours in the' air The Swan Island airoort. he' considered too narrow to what I he called an A l landing field "For length, it is all fleht hut Held should be at least 2500 feet square." Contrary to general belief, the colonel does not use a periscope butlooks over the edge of his seat In the plane. He generally circles a field once or twice before land ing to scout possible holes or oth- er danger spots. Anotner long distance flight apparently is not in the mind of the Colonel.

Colonel Lindbergh received his Urst airplane tralaine at Lincoln Nebraska. In 1922. he did consid erable stunt flying and. parachute jumping. In 1925, he had his first experience ; in a forced parachute jump when his plane collided with anotner pursuit plane flown by lieutenant McCallister. Since that time.

' Fate seemed to have caused au tomobiles to play no small part in -the life of Isadora Duncan. On several occasions she was injured, "sometimes seriously, in automo bile accidents, and in 1913 her two children, Beatrice, 5, and Pat rick, 2. were "drowned in the Seine river, near Paris when their automobile ran into the river. Later in 1913 she was seriously injured in an automobile accident and in May of 1924 -was knocked unconscious when her car was in collision with another in Lenin grad. On other occasions she narrowly escaped death from drowning, and. one of these acci dents occurred at Nice, where she was killed. - Isadora Duncan was a native of California, and the daughter of Charles Duncan, but since the early part of .the 20th century when she' achieved international fame as a portrayer of Greek and other . dances, she had spent most of her time in Europe, par ticularly in Berlin, Paris and at Nice.
