It's such an obviously clever idea that it's a nder it hasn't been done before. The story com- cerns the misadventures of a young assistant district attorney attached to the speeder's court. He gets into trouble as a result. of his public de- nunciation of a beautiful young speedcr. The judge, possesed of a rare judicial sense of humor, par- oles the young lady in his custody. There are lots of reasons why she doesn't want her father, a news- paper editor, to know that she was arrested, so she gives a false name. Well, anyway, that gives you the idea around which Director Joseph Henabery has constructed a delight- ful romantic farce comedy. Regin- ald Denny {is perfect in the part and Alice Day, as the youthful specder, adds greatly to the attrae- tiveness and humor of the photo- play. > Denny is the typical farce come- dian. He is on his toes every min- ute before the camera. He never misses a trick, from the tilt of an eye-brow to the animated cavoyt- ings of a hilarious situation. His stuff is clean. too, the cleanest com- edy on the screen, Charles Byer is very good and Thomas Ricketts is splendid, Fritzi Ridgeway adds one of the largest portions to the -humor in her role as the little slavey who pretends sh. is the speeder to 100] papa. And then there's a sanity hearing. Well, _it's a riot from start to finish, and the story is logical.

Agnes Ayres, for five years one of Paramount's greatest drawing cards, returns to the screen after an absence of several years in an important featured role in Columbia's "The Donovan Affair." Renee Adoree has signed a new contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and an announcement regarding her next screen role is expected soon. the South Seas, where she played a featured part in the new Ramon Novarro starring film, "The Pagan." The team of William Wellman and Richard Arlen are together for the fourth time in Patamount's all-talking production, "The Man I Love," "Wings" began the combination of Arlen, the featured player, "Ladies of the Mob™ and "Beggars of Esther Ralston, instead of Fay Wray, will be co-starred with Gary Cooper in "Black Eagles," Paramount's forthcoming film adapted from Jacob Wasserman's "Golowin," a tale of the Russian Revolution. The change in plans was necessitated by Miss Wray's assignment to the "The Best Dressed Woman in the World," part of the new issue f Our World Today, the modern screen magazine released by Educa- ional, serves to introduce Mrs. Bertha Holley, exponent of the modern dea of designing feminine fashions according to the type of the ndividual woman. It also presents a complete revue of typical models of dress designed by Mrs. Holley, as worn by New York beauties. "Tommy Atkins," described as a "Beau Geste" of the English army, was the last photoplay made in Europe by Walter Byron before he came to the United States to be leading man for Vilma Banky. World Wide Pictures will release the picture in America. It was made in rural England and Egypt with the aid of the English War Offices and the Commissioner of the Soudan district. Four regiments of English soldiers and a tribe of Soudanese take part in the production. Charles Brabin, famous director, can't be fooled when he approves a scene. When he likes a scene, and wants it kept in the picture, he has his cameraman hold his fist in front of the lens after the scene is taken, so that at the end of it will appear this signal. Numbers or letters may be misunderstand--but no film cutter misunderstands a fist, says the director of "The Bridge of San Luis Rey," now being filmed at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, Maybe it means the director's fist in case the scene is left out! "Wings" packed tens of thou- sands every week during fits first year at the Criterion theatre, New York City. Recently it celebrated its first birthday on Broadway and standing room was sold out every day during the anniversary week. "Wings" in its colossally magnifi- cent performance at the Criterion theatre sounded only the opening note--the first little signal gun--ot what the entire world was to ex- pect. The great suctess of "The Ten Comamndments" and "Beau Geste' are but the stepping stones to such great success as "Wings." "Wings" startled the newspaper critics. To think about what you are going to do with "Wings" is to feel the very depths of hope and ambi- tion stirring. That is how the press writers felt when they beheld the pleture. They knew themselves to be the witnesses of something whose greatness was beyond parallel and precedent. This famous picture has packed the Regent Theatre on two occas- fons the first showing being last February and again in June. By popular request Manager Osier was requested to bring "Wings" back to Oshawa-- again the Theatre was packed and mrany patrons turned away. Mr. Osler for the second time was asked to use his influence in bringing "Wings"" back to the Re- gent for its third showing--To-day the request is being answered fin the columns of the Times by a large advertisement anouncing the third engagement of this famous produe- tion but this time it will show to the Oshawa Theatre fans at regular prices. The following is from a review of the Montreal Daily Star follow- ing the showing of "Wings" in Mou- treal: "All those who are interested in high courage, the bravery of unsel- fish and unheeding youth, the splen- dor of youthful sacrifice and beauty of human comradeship should go to Spectacular Picture "Wings" ; Returns to Regent, Monda "Wings" at the Princess theatre this 'week. It is a film setting forth the work of the young knights or the clouds in the war. But {it is far more than a film. It is an epic of fearless young manhood, a paeau of tribute to the airmen "whose wings are folded forever" -- as a beautiful phrase of dedication says, --and it is also an amazing example of what can be achieved in the air. How this pucture ever came to be made passes my understanding. it is no combination of trickery and models, but a realistic visualization of real people riding the clouds and triumphing over the dawn." "The story is one of genuine dra- ma, rich with the finest qualities that lle at the basis of the friend- ships of youth, and touched with infinite beauty of romance, which runs through it like a silver thread in a purple pall, For it is also es- sentially a picture of war, of sac- rifice, of stern conflict, of the ulti- mate test of humran endurance man endurance and human conquest over fear.
