at the controls. Their flying ability added to their acting ability did much to make this Fox production, which Howard Hawkes. and Lew Seller directed, one of the best that has been seen here ill a long time.
 While the thrills and exciting moments are furnished by the scenes in the air picture is not lacking in heart interest and sen timental appeal. There IS win some quality about Sue Carol that makes her entirely charming. In her efforts to make David Rollins a fearless airman she wins the sympathy of the audience. The charm of the acting in this picture also is enhanced by the presence of Louise Dresser, who plays the part of young Rollins mother. As all ways she gives a perfect perform ance. Arthur Lake, the third mem Der of the trio of youngsters, Is absolutely infectious in his perform ance. You like him from the first flash on the screen.
 The theme of the story deals with the efforts of young man to conquer his fear of the air with the aid of his mother, the girl he loves, and his buddy. There IS plenty of room for heart-pull in this picture and the directors suc- ceed in getting remarkable perform ances out of all members of the cast.

fl g Attractions At Theatres
FINE COMEDY IS
 SHOWING, PALACE

The enthusiastic reception ten dered the opening of the perform ance of the Irresistible Lover" at the Palace Theatre last night proves conclusively that the movie-going public wants farce comedy.
 The Universal-Jewel comedy CO., stars Norman Kerry and Lois Nor an and is perhaps the most laugh able farce of the season. It pro- vokes howls of merriment from the opening scene until the final fadeout and withal contains a story that compares very favorablly with many of the so-called dramatic pictures.
 Kerry a wealthy young bachelor has love affairs galore with mar ried women, young women and old women and has the time of his life having them until, as is alway 5 the case, he finds one girl differ ent from the others. She is so different in fact that she gives him the air the minute she finds out who he is. How he eventually wins her back with the unwilling aid of her young brother, provides the main theme of the story.
 The supporting cast is excellent and includes such known players as Myrtle Stedman, Gertrude As tor, Lee Moran, Phillips Smalley and George Pearce. William A. Beaudine directed.

adding that he operated a chain of

another hospital "to the memory of
his Scottish father"
Declaring that his business man.
aHer would be in the city in the near
future to pay his bills, Maitland pur-
chased pictures, statues and other
items and brought them to his apart

Eighty thousand dollars worth of
