"THE AIR CIRCUS."

SOUND SYNCHRONISED THRILLER. LIBERTY THEATRE. A modern story, with splendid sound synchronisation and agreeable acting on the part of the cast, u« contained ia "The Air Circus," which will be presented to patrons of Liberty Theatre next week. Sue Carol, Arthur Lake, and J)»Tid Rollins have the leads, with Charles Delaney and Louise Dresser adding two further famous names to the cast. The story concerns two air-minded, air-bitten youths, who leave their uninteresting homes in the Kiddie West and go to the Pacific Ooast to enter an aviation school. It is an enthusiastic dory that follows, and it is not hard -to gather that the producers, actors, and directors have a fine time together while filming the picture. A very human, likeable story runs through the thrills of flying, the business of ground school and the lure of the ether; and all the time there are the sounds, as well as the sights, of these fascinating academies. Vox Movietone have again accomplished a feat in the production of another sound picture; every buzz and roar and sound from engines and the like comei through well, and the thing never becomes monotonous. The comedy for it might broadly be described as a comedy, has its human side, and at the grand finale, which is a very thrilling affair, one is conscious of having witnessed a mos* pleasing and worth-while sound picture. Charles Delaney and Sue Carol, as the brother and sister who conduct the flying school, do the best acting in the picture. The usual number of short talking subjects will be presented, with Pox Movietone News. Madge Keeler, the famous specality dancer, will be seen, also a mnsical sketch, "In a Music Shop." Signor Bonelli. the famous Italian opera singer, will be heard in some operatic numbers, and a threereel all-talking comedy, "Happy Birthdav. '* wilt complete this attractive programme. Box plans are now open at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved.
