NEW THRILLS OF THE AIR.
" SKY BRIDE " FOR THE CIVIC
When Richard Arlen takes to the air in "Sky Bride," his newest picture for Paramount, it will be his first appearance in an aviation film since "Wings," the production that started him on the road to screen fame. It was "Wings" that installed three players in the fore ranks of film popularity. Like Arlen, Gary Cooper and Charles "Buddy" Rogers greatly increased their following through their performances in the picture. Arlen is thoroughly at home in the air. He was a combat pilot with the Royal Flying Corps during the World War. "Sky Bride" unites once more Arlen, Jack Oakie, and Charles Starrett, who featured in "Touchdown!" Virginia Bruce has the feminine lead and Robert Coogan, the child prodigy of "Sooky," has an important part. Virginia Bruce was pronounced by Florenz Ziegfeld as "one of Hollywood's three most beautiful girls." He thought so well of her acting that he interrupted her movie career by a contract in his stage show "Smiles." She is a blonde, and gives a touch of romance that greatly adds to the entertainment qualities of "Sky j Bride."
