In this picture, made under the di-
rection of George B. Seitz, a series Of
what are said to be the most thrilling
airplane stunts ever executed before
the camera are brought to the screen.
Three planes swoop down on fleeing
cars in a stirring race through the
mountains, raking them with machine
fire while only few feet above their
tops.
This airplane fight is part of huge
pursuit Of bandits conducted by the
United States Marines during the time
they were guarding the mails. The
picture is based upon the activity Of
this famous organization of American
fighting men, and is said to be a real.

Dog Stars of the Past.

SCREEN admirers of that wonder
dog, RinTin-Tin, star of Warner
Bros Jaws of Steel" may think of
the dramatic story enacted by and
built around dog as a comparatively
recent development of motion pictures.
On the contrary. Lee Duncan,
Rinty's educator, discovered while
engaged in some research work that
the English dramatist, French, wrote
a number of plays revolving around
a dog character, which enjoyed great
success on the stage. so years ago.
Two particularly we'll remembered
were THE Dog of Montagis" and
THE Forest of Bondi," in which St.
Bernards or Newfoundlands played
the principal roles.
The breed of German shepherd
dog, of which Rinty is a magnificent
specimen. was introduced about that
time. The clumsy and heavy heroes
of those old stage plays would be ILL
fitted for the dashing, thrill.binding
melodrama of which Rin-Tin.Tin is
the hero.
Jaws of Steel" is a story of fight
and intrigue for gold in the deserts
and ghost cities of the Southwest.

merry farce comedy, starring
Glenn Tryon.
For three years this young man has
struggled to win success on the
screen. Although starred in a series
of short comedies. he gained only
passing favor with moving picture
audiences, but never seemed to get a
great break.
Last April FOOLS day he was of
fered a principal role in new Uni

but he was sure there must be a
catch in it.
Think of his past luck! Just look
at the calendar
Nevertheless he signed-for the role
Hector Whitmore, a small-town
smartaleck in the picture Painting
the Town" and by one of those pecu
liar tricks of luck Tryon found just
the role for his ability. The spark OF
genius flared up in him, and the net
result was sudden fame and con-
tract with Universal to keep the
world laughing for five more yers.

"It is we'll known to all purveyors

Summer attractions. No matter how

it struck me that perhaps those fans
might lend encoura cement to an effort
