"Wings," one of the most talked of films ever produced in the United States, comes to the Paramount theater, Provo, beginning Sunday, October 21, according to S. I. Leven, manager of the popular show house. The drawing power and intense gripping interest of "Wings" is evident evi-dent from the fact that it has run for more than one year continuously contin-uously at the Criterion theater in New York, packing more than 10.-000 10.-000 people weekly to see the daring air adventures of the young war aviators. It was two years in the making at a 'colossal expenditure but the l unheard of reception tendered the film where ever it has been shown has vindicated the management in the lavish expenditure of money. The author of the play, John Monk Saunders, a Rhodes scholar. was himself an aviator. The director direc-tor of "Wings," William A. Well-man Well-man served in the "LafayeUs j Escradrille" in France during the world war.. To film the daring feats of the bird men, the cameramen risked their lives. In some instances they were strapped over the engine hood, a few inches from the death-dealing propeller; at other times thsv wore strappd out on the wings of a machine ma-chine while the pilot executed rolls, loops and flip-flops. - These men had to keep cranking every second, their one hope of safety resting in the skill of the pilot. The players in "Wings" compose a group unexcelled for excellence, Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen head the list as the daring young fliers who rake the air in thoir search for the biggest things in life. Clara Bow, Paramount's one hundred hun-dred per cent girl is delightfully cast as "the little girl next door." Jobyna Ralston is "the other girl." El Brendel and "Gunboat" Smith supply the humor and Gary Cooper, Julia Swayne Gordon, Henry B. Walthall, Arlette Marchal and many others are also in the cast.. , |
