12 BIG NEWS IN PATHE WEEKLY THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 192L First Pictures of Ill-Fated Dirigible and Funeral of Caruso Are Shown. At the moment when the entire world was aghast at the terrible fate of the great dirigible, ZR-2, her commander and all but a few Individuals of her crew and passengers, Pathe News No. 68 flashed upon picture screen vivid scenes at Howden, England, of preparations for the trial flight which was to end so disasterously. Particularly clear are the moving, smiling figures and faces of Commander L. H. Maxfield and all of the eager and jubilant men composing his crew. The absence of any disturbing apprenhensions concerning" eother the trial flight or the projected adventure of an air voyage across the Atlantic Is indicated in the beaming smiles and the boyish antics of younger members of the crew. Also in this number Pathe News pre sents striking pictures of scenes of Caruso's funeral at Naples, yitnessed by so many thousands crowding the streets of that populous city that the cortege was forced to move slowly along its route between the historic church of San Francesco di Paola and the cemetery. The floral tribute manes a display on wheels hardly equally at any similar ceremony for royalty. The News says that 50,000 people were gathered in Naples from all parts of Italy in honor of the dead opera tenor acknowledged in all countries to have been the great est in all the history of opera. Of a different, but lively, sort of in terest are the pictures of the working of the Governments new machines which, at lightning speed, dispose of the use of postage stamps. These machines are pictured stamping and cancelling 15,00( envelopes m a single hour. Continuing lively interest in the tennis chammor.slvp contests is gratified with picturf-s in this issue of Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory defeating Miss Mary K. Brown, of California, at Forest Hill, N. J., Mile. Suzanne Lenglen. French Champion is seen watching Mrs. Mal lory's play in the hope of a return match with the American star. In Pathe No. 67 there are wonderful slow-motion pictures analyzing the movements of both champions in the contest which Mile. Lenglen's collapse in Mrs. Mal lory's favor.
