"The Battle in the Clouds"

In the conventional melodrama the
stolen papers rarely got further than
the hollow tree at the old mill, but
here the battle RACES first on earth
and then as the title indicates in the
sky.
This offering is highly spiced with
pieces of that sensationalism, which
the public cry for. 1t has artistic
merit as witnesses the fine settings
and the good acting. 1t is chiefly
notable, however. for hairbreath es-
capes, blood-curdling races between
train and auto and the battle in the
clouds" The stolen papers, having
passed into the hands of a precious
and accomplished set of modern viii
lains. are hunted in the grounds and
rooms of a fashionable hotel with a
wonderful esplanade. They are search
ed for in high powered automobiles
and finally pursued into the upper re-
gions.

thousand dollars for the immediate
use OF the balloon. When told that
this is impossible because it will take
at least an hour to attach the bas-

situations and the frequent climaxes
were brought about in a most con-

praise is due to the superb photog-

feature hits the taste of many motion

many a program. IT is absolutely free
