ENTERTAINMENTS

TOWN HALL. “Won in the Clouds,” an aerial drama will be the attraction at the Town Hall on Friday. From the opening shot which finds the modern airplane ready to help an exploration adventure in the vast jungles of darkest Africa, to the final fadeout of the heroine in the arms of the flying ace, “W]on in the Clouds,” is a breath-taking, hairraising, seat-gripping, thriller. A 1 Wilson the star, will undoubtedly gain many new fans from his daredevil escapades in this picture for he has by far outdone many of his previous productions. With his usual calm, unerring skill he pilots the entire action of the story to the most spectacular and dramatic climax ever seen in a picture of this type. Then, too, he has one of the greatest supporting casts one cpuld wish for. Heading the list of important characters, Arthur C. Goebel, winner of the Dole trans-Pa-cific air race to Honolulu, who •demonstrates to the fullest his right to win over the elements of his historical trans-ocean flight.
