MAJESTIC

SATURDAY — MATINEE 2 P.M. A ne-w method of learning to fly has been discovered by Joe E. Brown, and you can see it demonstrated at the Majestic Theatre, on Saturday, where Joe is starred in "Going Wild," the First National aviation comedy. In one sequence of the picture Joe is a newspaper man who is mistaken for a famous author of an aeronautical story. He is practically forced by his deception into flying a plane in an air race. Of course he never had flown before, but it is up to him to pretend that he is a second Lindbergh, so he sets out to learn what he can about the controls. He rigs up a Murphy bed with ropes in such a manner that he can sit at the foot with the handle of a vacuum cleaner as the "Joyce Sticlc," and an aviation hook as his guide. He swings himself around into all of the necessary positions called for by stunt pilots. This is one of the many hilarity-provoking moments in "Going Wild." The scene is incorporated into the picture for comedy purposes, but Joe really does know something about flying. He learned from Laura Lee, the comedienne who is in the supporting cast of "Going Wild." Miss Lee holds a limited pilot's license, having taken instruction and soloed in the East before going to Hollywood to 'enter pietures. Others in the cast include Ona Munson, Lawrence Gray, and a host of stunt flyers.
