For an Oscar Wilde play on the
screen. we have an ideal cast in
these six people playing the leads.
But the one great and wonderful
triumph in this movie Is the de-
hciously beautiful work of Irene
Rich as Mrs. Erlynne. Miss Rich
lifts the Characterization to that
state Of development which makes
the character as striking and as
powerful as II 1t were being present
ed upon the spoken stage.
She knows the value and the use
OF gowns in putting over smart
scenes. She knows how to walk be-
fors the camera She doesn't glide
and she doesn't run. She lust
seems to melt into tho eye of the
camera She is "smartly" smart at
the races. When Matchmaking upon
a high-class scale she is immense,
and when she is Summing in her
own salon she Is extremely intrf-
guing. Here Is a characterization
that is extremely smart and intelli-
gent. 1t Is seldom we see so much
brains in movie Characterization as
Miss Rich uses In bringing Mrs. Err
lynne to the screen.
I found the work Of Miss McAvoy
exactly true to the character of
Lady Windemere. Probably Ronald
Colman does not look quite English
enough, even with his wicked-appear-
ing little mustache, but he is inter
esting upholstery, needed as human
atmosphere in this picture. Lytell
meets every demand.
And I am glad that Lubitsch was
as the director for this pic
ture. He knows how to handle in
dividuals as well as groups to get
the very best possible comedy and
dramatic effect. The camera trick

BACK
EARTH

1RT SMITH OF BIT. Wayne,
a air mail pilot and one OF
the most daring and ex-
perienced aviators In the country,
was killed the other night when,
lost in a thick fog. his plane
crashed near Montpelier, Ohio
Just another martyr to aviation.
He took up flying dozen or
more years ago. in the early stages
of airplane development in this
country. He was with one Of the
early flying circuses that used to
thrill with exhibition flights and
air stunts. He was the originator
of sky writing arc the loop-the
loop.
And now he IL killed while fly
ing in the prosaic business of car
rying the mails.
What have become of his com
pahions Of his early flying days7
Practically every one of them died
the victim of an air accident. Re-
gaTdless OF their ability and exs
perience in flying, in the end they
all came back to earth in tangle
Of wreclzage. Scarcely a promi-
nant flyer OF q dozen or fifteen
years ago is still alive. and in the
game. Sooner or later the law OF
gravitation got them.
Aviation has made marvellous
strides in the last few years. The
plane has become a commonplace
mode of transportation. But mans
conquest of the air is still far from
complete. 1t Wilt cost many more
lives before he solves the problem
of getting safely back to earth no
matter what happens to his ma
chine in the air.
