Spring Cleaning comes from the pen of Frederick Lonsdale, that clever and humorous British writer. by the Selwyns at the Eltinge Theatre with such stars as Violet Heming, Estelle Winwood, A. E.

BESIDES MARKING a new era in motion pictures, Wings, the Paramount aviation film which will open at the Salt Lake Theatre tonight, has made stars of three young players and has made a name for the director, one of the youngest in Hollywood. Wings gave them their big opportunity, the chance of a lifetime to display their courage, ability and personal charm, and they all carried on to success. 0 When Paramount contemplated the production of this new film, much thought was given to the cast, and for weeks studio executives deliberated. They wanted talent in the picture, but at the same time they wanted courage and plenty of it John Monk Saunders, the author, announced at a studio conference that youth must be always evident. Youthful spontaneity, pep and bravado had been written into the plot, and they had to be carried out if Wings were to be a typically Yankee story. So the search started. First a director was needed. Saunders suggested the name of William Wellman, who was one of his buddies in France. He was a member of the Lafayette Escadrille, those daredevil aces of the World War. Wellman knew flying, and he knew aerial battle, having had his back broken when his plane crashed to earth during a machine gun engagement. He had youth too, and Yankee spirit. So to this unknown and untried director went the script and the biggest job of his life. Since his return from France, Wellman had played in pictures and handled the megaphone on a few successful but minor productions. Clara Bow Selected. The next to be picked for a part was Clara Bow. Associate Producer B. P. Schulberg saw her perform in the Paramount gymnasium and was greatly impressed by her ability in athletic stunts. Shell do, he said. Have some tests made. Miss Bow was selected for the role of the girl and did her work so well, that a starring contract was handed JACK HOLT, itarred in her on the completion of the picture. Since that time her work in It and Rough House Rosie have brought her amazing popularity. The Warning" Director Wellman happened upon Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen, the latter an honorary second lieuten-- . ant in the British Royal Flying Corps, and after a series of trials before the test cameras they were chosen for important roles. of the picture Upon completion Rogers was loaned to the Mary Pick-for- d company, and he will be the leading man in her next production. Arlen has just learned that he will be leading man in Esther Ralstons new Paramount picture. All of which goes to show what one picture can do for youngsters with ability.
