The University of Miami has profited from the visit of Clarence Chamberlin, world flyer. Col. Chamberlin spoke Tuesday night at the Miami Coliseum. He illustrated his lecture with slides of the flight and of his welcome in various cities. The proceeds from the tickets sold for admission were given to the University.
The world flyer was kind enough to give the editor an interview after the lecture. She asked him what his sensation was when flying over midocean in the middle of the night, if what he felt was perhaps a new emotion. Mr. Chamberlin laughed and said, “Why, I was so busy watching oyer the controls that I did not have time to feel anything.” That shows the ere-mendous concentrative power and the coolheadedness of the flyer. He did not have time to feel impressed with the thing he was doing. He thought only of making his plane do his bidding. The editor asked him this question, “Do you advise the undergraduate to make a study of aviation? In other words, is there a future in that field?” His answer was in the affirmative. Col. Chamberlin said that there was great need at present for trained mechanics. Because of the swift growth in the development of the airplane many men are needed who can keep pace with its improvements. When asked if the air conditions about Miami were favorable to an airport, Col. Chamberlin replied that they were. There is no reason why Miami should not have one,” he said “and if she wants to amount to anything in the aviation line, if she wants to be on the air lines, she must have one.”
This man, who was the first to fly from America to Germany, has a charming personality. When you1 talk to him you feel that he is interested in you. He is not one of these distant, impersonal people. The Colonel, who is a blond and of slight build, smiled readily and often. Several boy scouts gave him the scout hand clasp.
Mr. Chamberlin received a Scout Eagle Sash at Bear Mountain, New York in honor of his flight. These boys, perhaps, were testing his knowledge of scout lore. They found he measured up to standard. One youngster asked Mr. Chamberlin to sign several autographs. He was building an airplane and wanted to paste them on his plane.
Tuesday, Col. Chamberlin alighted on the golf course in his plane and went into the Phi Alpha house. Ada, Bill Turner’s German police dog, wanted to chase the famous flyer, but the Colonel was rescued in time.
ium. This glee club enjoys the distinction of being the largest coeducational glee club in the South and offers a diversified program of music that is seldom possible with college glee clubs.

The performance of the Miami Civic Theater players last Thursday and Friday evenings injthe four < ne-act plays presented ' in the University auditorium, was a distinct tribute to Daniel Frohman, who personally supervised the plays.
The Civic Theater players are fast attaining the standard of professionals. and the poise and ease with which they executed their respective roles was a credit to the organization as well as to Mr. frohman. The faith and pride-■hi h Miami has for its Civic Theater was manifested in the unusually large audiences on both evenings.
‘The Red Hat,” by Sterne Car-i mgton, which had its premier showing under the direction of Alice Horine Wallace, was a sophisticated modern comedy ably acted by .Jo Cotton, Martha Turner, Margot Semnivs and William Hub-bell.
Lydia Hubbeil charmingly played the role of Rachel Chard, the actress, in “Nature Versus Art,” by Xita Faydon, a smart comedy satire, directed by Opal Eduard Mot-ter. Willard .Hubbeil was equally good in his role of the temperamental and eccentric playwright.
The audience enjoyed a distinct change in "The Recoil,” a realistic bit of tragedy, offering emotional appeal. This play, by Charles Hel-iieu, W. \ alcros a,nd Pol d’Estoe, was directed by Opal Eduard Mot-ter. The work of May Cornell Stoiber as Angele Benoit, the mother, stood out notably. Mrs. Cornell played this difficult role with sympathy and a finely balanced touch. H. C. Tuckerman's work as the doctor was also commendable.
Th" last play,.“The Real Thing,” adapted by Mr. Frohman from a play by John Kendrick Bangs, anil dire* ted by Alice Horine Wallace, was a rollicking, comedy revolving about a situation which is peculiarly true to present day life — the superiority of the servant over the mistress. This play represented an employment agency where ladies were employed by cooks as their mistresses.
The last three plays were originally presented for the Actors’ Fund Benefit.
Mr. Frohman, introduced by Winifred Kate James, president of
the Miami Civic Theater, gave a short address in which he paid tribute to th' players and expressed his pleasure at being able to supervise the plays.
