LIEUT.. LOCKLEAR AT FOX's.

A monument to the heroism Of an American scientist of the air. is The Skyman," Lieutenant Locklear's greatest picture, which opened at FoX's this afternoon for a three days engagement.
 Ten per cent of all the profits from the exhibition of this picture through out the country is to be given to the families of Locklear and his pilot, Lieut.. Milton Elliott, by the Fox Film Corporation.
 The Skyman" proves what Lock- lear always held-namely. that his daring exploits above the clouds were not performed in bravado, but for the good of mankind. When he stepped from, one plane to another thousands of feet above the earth, it was to show that the feat could be done in emergency. Until he did it nobody believed the balance and sta bility of an airplane could he main tained while a man stood out on the wings.
 The Pirates Fangs". the second episode of the serial supreme Bride 1S' is also shown. One of the scenes shows pictures of a submarine inter- for rocked by mine explosions. The action of big guns at close range, sea planes sweeping high and low, sub marine chasers dashing here and there, destroyers throwing immense clouds of smoke. and plenty of inter iors and exteriors of submarines are just a few of the exciting incidents in this episode.
 A Sunshine Comedy. "A Walters Wasted Life," a Chester Outing and the Fox News are included.
