 Thrill is said to follow on thrill in this smashing romance and drama of the air. The backgrounds are realistic and authentic, the ex- teriors having been filmed, for the most part, at Alameda, air base of the Paa-American Airways on the Pacific coast near San Francisco. where the famous China Clipper hops of on its voyages to the Phil ippine Islands.
 Other exteriors were taken at the Catalina Islands where the foliage matches that of the tropical coun- tries visited by the giant airShip.
 The story deals with the lone fight of a war ace to establish 8 trans oceanic air service. Called vision ary and madman, he battles against innumerable obstacles with almost fanatical determination to put over his idea. Not even the loss of his wife and home, she leav- ing him because of neglect, can stop him from driving for his goal.
 Tn picture ends with a smash ing climax in which the man of vision wins against almost unsur- mountable odds.

CombinSky Trio Concert Delights
Large Valley Audience

Beautiful, effortless, flowing music.
the three instruments speaking as
one, characterized the concert given
Tuesday night III Wilson school by
the famous Compinsky trio under
the auspices of the Imperial Valley
Music Teachers association.
In spite of rainy weather, which
usually keeps Imperial Valley resi-
dents indoors, the trio played to a
crowded house of citizens from every
community who applauded again
and again as each brilliantly per-
formed number was completed.
Perfect timing, the merging of the
individual parts into the component
whole, gave a unity to the trio num-
bers which made them outstanding
examples of ensemble work, while
the beauty of tone, sympathetic in
depreciation and technical finish of
each player proved them to be artists
of distinction.
Ensemble Numbers
Ensemble music has been so per-
fected by this group of two brothers
and sister who have played togeth-
cr since childhood SO that each is
instantly aware of the moods and
emotions of the other, that these
numbers were perhaps the most en-
joyable on the program although
each member of the trio is a fin
iShed Soloist as well.
Manuel is the violinist: Alex, the
'cellist, and Sara, the pianist.
The program opened with three
trio numbers; the finale from the
Trio in E Flat" Brahms), the An
dante from the Trio in E. Major y
