Plenty of Thrills in
wings" Air Pictures

"Wings" and all it's wonder
working sensations came and con-
quered the town and has settled
down at the National Theater for
an equally sensational run for the
limited engagement it will be here.
Public and critics alike have been
lavish in laudation of this first
historic Paramount picture of the
world war air fighting.
The atmospheric environ is not
without an added charm. The
musical score is replete with mar
tial airs one loves to hear and
which tingle the heart strings.
There are also the marvellous and
astounding effects OF zooming
airplanes, and shrill, terrifying,
whistling shells sweeping through
the air, and last of all the falling
planes from tens of thousands of
feet and all aflame. One seems
to live with these daredevils in
the air.
