BUSINESS "Only the Brave" the
feature at Loew's Columbia, lirnberS
up, throws decorum and the "rah.
rah" flag-f1ying of the Civil War to
the winds and comes out of it all
fine entertainment.
The real fun begins when Gary
Cooper. who has volunteered as q
spy for the Northern Army, finds
himself in the lovely arms of Mary
Brian, who is, Of course, a Southern
belle. These two, who are rapidly
becoming the most engaging of
screen lovers, because the path they
tread is always very thorny before
the final black-out, have quite a
time trying to keep Gary from being
caught and shot as a spy. When
everything seems about to be lost
even after the Southern lady has
done everything in her power to keep
him from the executioner's gun-and
when Gary is led out to where q
dozen or more men are to shoot him
to death, there is cry from the
bushes, the Northern Army appears
and the next thing you know, Lee is
surrendering to Grant at Appomat-
tox Court House.
1t Is the general spirit Of good
fun and possibly partly of satire on
the war that keeps this picture well
above the level. Mary Brian, who
falls victim to Gary's charms at
the first glance, seems to grow daily
in looks and acting ability. Cooper
Is his usual gaunt and amusing self.
AS to his theSpian ability there may
be reason for debate. He does, how
ever, evidently what he is told and
INDUCES in none Of the side antics
that afflict many Of the stellar males
Of Hollywood. The man who Is sup
posed to guard Gary when he Is
under arrest is particularly engage
ing, but Phillips Holmes, as the
sandy haired villain, falls a bit fiat.
A Hal Roach comedy, the Hearst

Orchestra close a pleasing program.

A Thrilling Air Picture.
XXHEN the Zeppelin goes up IN

that Is a fair idea Of the reception
that is being accorded The Sky
Hawk" this weeks presentation at
This story of Zeppelin warfare
during the London raids is genuinely
exciting and worth considerably
more than the price Of admission to
see. Although the director has some
weak moments, the outcome on the
whole is handled with skill and re-
straint. And as the Zeppelin Is
doing its worst over London town,
breaks into flames and finally drops
to a smoke screened death, one is
really proud of Actor John Garrick
for having done this deed single
handed from his own plane.
There is considerably more to this
yarn than most films of current in
terest. 1t has plot that holds
steadily to its purpose and emerges
with none of the complicated Holly
wood frills. True, there Is O love
affair and there are scenes that are
obviously fabricated behind closed
studio doors. Still, the whole over
shadows the weaker parts and there
is suspense and good acting, with
comedy interspersed through 1t all.
At the beginning John Garrick,
new and pleasant young English
actor. of whom, one hopes, more
presently, is seen as a young lieu
tenant in the Royal Flying Corps,
who crashes rather mysteriously Just
before he is to be sent to France.
AS he was to have been married the
next day, this accident Is looked
upon suspiciouSly and he Is branded
as a coward. Determined to rid
himself of this diShonor, he succeeds
in fixing up an old plane that has
been "junked," and as the great Ger
man Zeppelin hovers maliciously
over London he goes up by himself
in this plane and brings the giant
monster down. Thus does he vim
dictate himself, win the girl of his
heart and satisfy much pleased
audience.
OF the players John Garrick is
the most important. Helen Chandler
in the role Of the answering sweet
heart tries hard, but somehow doesn't
seem to get anywhere Billy Bevan
and Daphne Pollard supply the
really amusing comedy relief.
