A VICTORY FOR MOVIES
A NEW OPENING A pretty face is useful to any candidate for glory on the screen, but the ability to fly an airplane is better. Aviators are the busiest and the most in demand of any class of extras around the movie studios in Hollywood. Their vogue has been especially noticeable since the great interest in flying created by the transatlantic and trans-Pacific flights. Pictures are seeking sequences which will enable them to tie in with the popular enthusiasm. The cream of the aviation jobs, of course, were in “Wings,” which Paramount spent more than a year making, and which now is being shown in New York. The same company produced, “Now We’re in the Air,” with Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton as stars. This picture called for scores of planes, with many scenes filmed in the air, from the air. Paramount also is preparing another large scale flying picure, “The Legion of the Condemned.”
