Selected Short b]e;:t; CHINA NITE— CAPITOL STARS RICRARD DIX N DARING AR FILM “Lost Squadron” Reveals Intimate Details of Picture Studios “The Lost Squadron,” starring Richard Dix, will be presented to- night at the Capitol theatre. The photonlay is a movie within a movie, depip.ing the neck-breaking stunts of the film dare-devils in a thrilling modern day romance of the air. The film is Hollywood's answer to the persistent public plea for an action film based on the ad- venturous exploits of men courting danger for the sake of the thrill it gives them. Thrills Are Genuine The thrills in the pioture are geniuine. The author of the story, Dick Grace, the screen’s king of stunt aviators, makes three breathless crackups—one into the ocean and the other two are per- | pendicular power dives to the earth, i Geared as it is to the tempo and the unselfish comraderie of men in peril, the film neverthe- less supports a beautiful romance which blooms into full flower out | of a chaos of wrecked planes and breathless tail spins.
