AIR THRILLER AND CHILLER The test pilots, unsung heroes of aviation, are held up for well-deserving pats on the back and recoguition oi their valorous deeds in a film that opens to-tuorrow at the Cosy Theatre. It is "Devil's Squadron," and it stars the square-jaweu ltichard Dix. Dick Grace, oue of tlie woiTd's foremost aviators, who has come into the limelight ior his hazardous stunting and erasliing oi planes for tlie movies, wrote the story. According to • the story, Dix and Nolan, two test pilots, fall in love with Miss Morley.

But cUse association with death amid flaming planes and strained nerves, cnanges much, and the story goes on from its premise to a dramatic climax. Out of the tlirilling pages of Harold Bell Wright' s gripping aovel, "The Mine With the Iron Door," also screening on this programme, comes a picture which cconbines thi'ills, action, romance, and mystery in one of the most enjoyable screen entertainraents that has been presented in many nonths. Dramatically powerful because of its unique theme, "The Mine With fche Iron Door," tells a story of lcve and passion, and the search for a gold treasure that has been guarded for 300 years by a league of dead men.
