NATIONAL-"Wings."

Wings" the dramatic war picture
heralded far and wide as "the epic of
the air." was, after more than years
showing elsewhere, presented in Wash
ington last night at the National Thea
ter. If the picture appeals to Washing
tonians as it has to audiences in New
York and other citieS-and there was
every evidence last night that it will
then it is due for long run here.
The outstanding feature of the pho
toplay is, of course, the air scenes.
Nothing anyway comparable to them
has ever before been pictured on the
screen. and yet, it is possible, they fall
short of the word pictures that have
preceded them. The land battles also
are masterpieces of direction in spec
tacular effect and the thrill of horror.
Before one is permitted to get so
much as glimpse of the thrilling pat
tlefleld episode. however, one needs must
sit through Is minutes of sentimental
love scenes and heart-rending farewells.
Then at intervals throughout the piece
more of the same note is interjected
Despite this. the manner in which
the plot is worked out is not at all bad.
In fact, it is worthy of especial men
ton, for here is story based on the
old situation of two young men COM
rivalry which is brought to solution
in an original if intensely sad way.
The picture opens at the beginning of
Americas entry into the war. After
bidding farewell to their mutual sweet
heart, the two young men enlist in the
Air Corps Because of their battle over
the girl they are enemies, but during
their training period they become fasG
friends.
The war goes on and they are in the
front line in the air fighting for months,
barely escaping death time and again,
sending down enemy planes in flames
and having experiences such as few
men have ever been through. Then
comes an incident, growing out of their
rivalry for the girl. which threatens to
break their friendship. AS they are
about to come to blows, the order comes
ported as shot down over the enemy
lines, but he escapes after his plane
crashes, steals an enemy plane and
starts home. The other, believing his
companion has been killed. goes out in
great bitterness to avenge him, and
meets the vary plane in which the
downed flyer is returning. Thinking
1t is piloted by one of the enemy, he
gives battle and unknowingly sends his
friend crashing to his death.
The roles of the flyers are very well
handled by Charles Rogers and Rich
ard Arlen. Clara Bow plays the part
of the girl who loves the man who
survives, and her love persists while he
Is competing with his friend for the
hand of the other girl. Needless to
say, it is she who is finally chosen by
the surviving aviator.
The direction is by William A. Will
man. The screen version is the work
OF Hope Loring and Louis D. Lighton
based on the story by John Monk
Saunders.

dering noises are all brought to the ears
of the audience, thus providing the full
atmosphere of the thrilling Photographic
action.
Colleen Moore is cast as the star. with
Gary Cooper in chief support. The
story concerns the combat adventures OF
a unit OF British aviatorS in France DUR
ing the war. Their thrilling battles up
in the clouds, their reckless gayety When
off duty. and their beautiful devotion
to one another in comradesh1p-tn
are the ingredients which make "Llif~
Time" great picture. There IS also a
fine love story developed, but the cnleI
interest must center in the thrllllng pno-
Biography and the synchronized souno
accompaniment. ,,..,-
Miss Moore in the role of a little
French girl, whose vivacity and tender
heart make her an indispensable COM
panion of the group of flyers VINO take
their meals at her home, gives fine
dramatic portrayal, which also enables
her to display that charming Whlm-
sicality which has made her celebrated
as a coincidence The role OF jean
nine affords opportunity for wide
range of acting. for in addition to the
lighter moods she is called on to ex-
press in the capacity of sweetheart"
to the whole unit of flyers, there are
tender emotional scenes enacted in the
romantic setting of garden OF lilacs.
Gary Cooper has part which recalls
his fine work in 1.-THE Legion of the
Condemned" He makes his role of
daring aviator and lover a romantic
and virile characterization.
Others in the large cast who render
fine support are Burr Mcintosh. Cleve
Moore, Kathryn Mcguire and Eugene
Besserer.
Some marvellous serial scenes have
been filmed in the picture. There are
thrilling close-ups of planes flying at
terrific speed in close combat forma-
tion-when wing tips seem almost to
touch Machine guns spit fire and
motors roar as daring loops and dives
are executed for the point of advan-
tage in attack. At times there are
head-on views of a plane pursuing an

picture is not a "talkie," there being

it is an attempt to convey the sounds

been plenty of noise in the filming OF
the graphic aerial scenes-the drone OF
motors, zoom of exploding bombs and
the rafting of machine guns in aerial
combat. And these sounds and thun-

KEITHS-"The Perfect Crime
Marion Harris.

Yesterday afternoon the opening of
the theatrical season was observed in
700 Keith Albee- Orpheum theaters in
the United States and Canada. The
washington vaudeville house opened its
program with 1.-THE Perfect Crime"
starring Give Brook and Irene Rich, as
Its screen offering and stage program
featuring Marion Harris, known as .the
queen of song" with Jack Golden,
formerly with LIE Paradis, at the piano.
II the hearty laughter and frequent
applause of the audience and curtain
calls demanded of the stage headliner
Miss Harris, are accepted as the critic
rion of success. Sunday evenings audi
ence was well satisfied.
1.-THE Perfect Crime is william LIE
Barron's adaptation of the story 1.-THE
Big Bow Mystery" by Israel Zangwill,
and directed by Bert Glennon Give
Brook is cast as DR.. Benson, famous
detective, whose continued success in
solving crime mysteries has convinced
him that every criminal is a bungler.
Wondering if there really is such thing
as perfect crime, he decides to commit
one himself. His crime is planned and
executed so well Cor is it due to police
ineficiency?) that not one person sus-
poets him. An innocent young man
with beautiful wife and child Is con-
happens in the story, justice triumphs
and, singular as it may seem, happiness
feigns in the end.
Marion Harris easily carried off stage
honors with the lyric beauty of her
voice and her pleasing expression
Some Of her songs were in a more
serious vein and some humorous. Jim
Toney and Ann Norman appear in a
skit, "A Man About Town. Although
some Of Mr.. Toney's jokes were not
of the brand relished by the more con-
sentative theatergoers, it is apparent
that his extraordinary ability as a
comedian should enable him to please
and keep any audience shaking its sides
with laughter. FrakSon, "the man of
q hundred cigarettes" scored a big hit
with his magic-lighted cigarettes ap-
pearing from nowhere and members
of the audience surprised in the act
of concealing half-dollars in their hair
and ears. Steve Freda, guitarist, and
Johnny Palace create much hilarity
with songs and wise cracks, the Barr
Twins and Arnold Gluck furnish a very
entertaining dance number, and Tom
and Betty Waters do some good slack
wire walking and dancing.
Excellent music by the house orches-
ira, G. Frederick Clark, director, and
Pathe News complete very good pro-
gram.

Notes on Special
Church Services

II like to talk to young people
and bring to them, q message Of the
Master Man," said the Rev. A. e.
Hill, at the Presbyterian church
last evening, when commenting on
the large number of young people
present In the congregation.
Taking as his subject, 1.-THE Alibi,' =
he asserted: IAN alibi Is something
used to conceal the true facts.
There are some things we know
about ourselves that are so distaste-
full and disgusting that we have %
conceal them from ourselves by
plausible excuses. We do not offer
excuses for our virtues, but for our
vices. For this reason the man who
offers an alibi, offers an acknowl-
edgment of failure"
Naming some Of the excuses peo-
pie make he said, How many men
and women there are today who use
the excuse I did not mean to sin.
But remember, young folks, that
whatsoever a man s0wetil that shall
he also reap. No one can compel
you to sin. No one can make you
90 the road of evil /; you make up
YOUR mind not to sin. The only
latch to your door is on the inside
and no one can come in without your
invitation-either Christ or the
devil. The trouble with the man
with an alibi is that he 10 headed
to ruin. The man who excuses
himself for his sin will never see
himself as he really Is. II you do
not realize you are ignorant you
will never seek to learn. II you 10
not realize you are sick You will
never seek a physician. II you dc
not realize your sin you will not
seek Saviour. Jesus Christ will
save any man or woman who. truly
repentS and that means It does not
make any difference whether that
man is some one high in social life
or some poor fellow In our state
penitentiary; and He cannot save
any man and woman who will not
repent, regardless of how respect
able or normal that fellow may be.
"You and have one supreme
duty" he continued, besides which
all else falls into insignificance.
Let US learn from the Master Of
men to seek first the Kingdom OF
God and His righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto
us. He who puts secondary thingY
first Is going to miss the important
things"
The Rev. Hills sermons are
drawn from life: either from his
own experience or the experience
Of others. They reach, in most
practical way, the problems that
daily confront men and women
everywhere. His subject for tonight
will be THE Business Mans Re-
ligion" and, while all are invited 20
attend, = special invitation Is ex-
tended to business men. Tomorrow
evening will be High School mig 1t
and the subject Lilies Biggest
Question"
Mrs. J. H. Mackley, Of Minot, who
contributed so largely to the spirit
Of the morning and evening services
at the Presbyterian church yester-
day by bringing the gospel message
In song, interpreted with lovely
and sympathetic voice, will sing
at each service this week.

ELTINGE THEATRE

ELTINGE THEATRE
James Cruces "Old Ironsides,"
which comes to the Eltinge for to-
day and Tuesday and Wednesday
might truly be called picture Of
miracles.
Although ten thousand people
were engaged during the filming Of
the Paramount photoplay, not a
single serious injury marred the
making of the production. All the
more astounding is this when it is
considered that "Old Ironsides" is
declared to have more thrills and
more intense action than any othe
picture ever produced.
Following are a list of some of
the close calls experienced while the
picture was being made:
Eight sailip" vessels were sunk in
terrific storm f Cape Hatteras
while towing them to the Pacifi~
coast for use in the photoplay. No
lives we lost in the storm.
Three masts snapped aboard the
frigate Constitution" when the
ship was caught in a heavy GROUND
swell One Of the yard-arms,
weighing eight-hundred pounds
landed but a few feet from Director
Cruze, Esther Ralston, Wallace
Berry, George Bancroft, Charles
Farrell and Johnnie Walker.
The entire company was lost at
sea in a storm for seventy-one
hours.
Six cannons exploded when over
enthusiastic gunners filled them
with overcharges of powder during
the terrific battle sequences.

Flower and Garden
Interest Picks Up

There is heavy demand for
flower and vegetable catalogues
these days in Bismarck.
Business men are wondering if the
meeting Of the Flower and Garden
committee of the Association Of
Commerce last week was responsible
for the demand.
Making Bismarck a prettier city
to live in seems to be the intention
of more than one small group Of citi-
zens and if the call for catalogues is
any index to the number Of citizens
who will attend the public meeting
at the A. C. next Thursday night,
