It isa thrilling, 2ll-talking air drama in which this popular player is sup- ported by Marie Prevost, Tom O'Prien, Russell Gleason and other notable screen artists. While this‘new air picture has an aviation background and contains some of the most sensational air stunts ever photographed, it is es- sentially a high powered drama of humor mingled skillfully and blend- cd into a fine network of enter- tainment. It is the story of a stunt flyer, who risks his life every’ day to sat- isfy a thrill-hungry mob. He is the deyil-may-care personality whose other chief interest in life is wo- men. But, he boasts, he has never fallen in love. Then™ his kid brother becomes interested in a ca- Paret entertainer and the Flying Fool decides tg- “save” him from this gupposedly designing woman. What happens after that is plenty and the story is said to rise to a tre- mendous climax in the air. . Marie Prevost plays the cabaret singer. Tom O'Brien has a serio- comic heavy role that suits him ideally and Russell Gleason plays the brother. Others in the cast are Dan Wolheim, Kate Bruce and Dorothy Ward.

Bv HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. — Ever |since Jack Garner took over the ijob of Democratic floor leader in the House last April he has been, waiting for the opportunity to take & crack at his good friend John Tilson, the Republican chieftain. The genial but fiery Texan is never happier than when T is raw-hiding Republica: bites” is the w he applies to the stinging re ks he hurls across the aisle from time ot time, and no one on the hill will dis- pute the fact that Jack can “hellge- bite” as can few others. Quite .by accident the other day Tilson found that he was in a most embarrassing predicament. Early in the day the House had passed a radio bill. Along later in the afternoon the Senate passed a sim- ilar bill, sent it over to the House, where it was passed and sent to! the President. As a result, the House had on its hands a bill it had passed, but |no place to send if. Teasing ~ Tilson explained the dilemma to! the House, and asked unanimous consent, as the best way out of the difficulty, that the action of thel House in passing its own bill be | vacated. | It was a situation Garner long had been waiting for. He had no cerious objection to Tilson’s re- quest, but he did see in it a rare opperiunity to make him spend; a few uncomfortable minutes. So he arose and blithely asked Tilson . the object. The majority leader, ‘prebably ensing that Garner was out te Donna Rose, belle of the night clubs, all upset over the $26,024 she So are who is owes. her creditors, especially since Donna dropped in on a bankruptcy referce and de- ecided to go on record as legally flat breke. She lost $175,000 on the market, she Il says. him a ride, very carefully ex- {plained the whole thing to him. |Garner was unconvineed, “Is the gentleman afraid the Sen- | ;a e will pass the House bill and | send it to the President also?” he ed. covering the same ground. Tilson showed his impatience. But Garner \queried sarcastically: “Can the gentleman not trust the Senate to at least refrain from !passing a House bill been sent over there?” | Tilson replied that of course he Icould trust the Senate, but he saw no need of the House doing a futile thing. |Prodding Him Again and again the Democratic} leader prodded the Republican chief. Bankhead, a Democrat, add- ed to Tilson’s distomfiture by sug- gesting that someone was respon- sible for the slip, and demanded to know who it was! Tilson by this time was certain | that he was being rawhided and refused to be goaded further. He ilatly reminded his colleagues that it was merely for the prestige of |the House he fought, and that he hoped they would not be so foolish as to send the bill over. | Garner had had his fun. Turning Ito Tilson, he graciously informed him: ‘tlemen’s request. The whole propo- sition strikes me as being silly.” - HARDY PASSES THROUGH ON HIS WAY TO CORDOVA N. O.
