“THE IMPOSTER” AT EMPIRE

Find, if you can, a more thrilling place to stage a fight than on the wing of an airplane thousands of feet in the

This is just one of the many hairraising breath-taking scenes in “The Phantom Flyer,” the melodramatic air film which opened at the Empire Theatre last evening, with A 1 Wilson filmdon’s most daring stunt and trick aviator, playing the role of the heroic air ace. This picture moved from a flying start to a whirlwind finish, and through innumerable breathtaking incidents." . There are few. if any, known aviators who have accomplished the great feat of changing from one plane to another with an extra landing wheel tied on his back, and then to climb down the structure and put the new wheel in place in mid-air. Yet this feat was only one of those accomplished in this picture. The picture is a fighting tale of primitive men battling with a girl for precious water rights in the barren west, with a daring aviator evening the odds. Evelyn Brent, in “The Impostor," is the second attraction.

That makes it unanimous! Bob Hill is collaborating with Paul Leni in the preparation of “The Last Warning,” which will get under way at Universal City in the very near future. The other “Cat and Canary” ejements which will go into making this mystery picture even bigger and better than last year’s success are Laura La Plante and Alfred A. Cohn.
