AMUSEMENTS

REGENT THEATRE. TO-NIGHT AND FRIDAY. “WITTTOUT ORDER*!.” Heretofore most living films have depended for thrills on the splintering wreck of planes. This has incurred me wrath of established air lines, which point out that crashes seldom occur on scheduled Hying routes to-day, and that the emphasis on accidents discourages air travel. In HKO Radio’s new picture of commercial aviation, “Without Orders,” the tense emotional moments have been obtained without recourse to crashes. Instead, the drama is derived from the conflicts between two rival pilots and the difficulties 01 flying treacherous air routes, climaxing in a breathless struggle aboard a big air liner lost in a storm. Robert Armstrong and Sally Filers have the romantic leads with A' inton Haworth as Armstrong's .professional rival. With many of the scenes taken aboard a big transport plane and over the cloudcovered Sierra Madras, the film is said to he one of the most exciting aviation pictures ever vet made. Charles Grapewin and Frances Sage have important roles, with the support including Arthur Loft,’ Frank M. Thomas, Ward Bond and Walter Miller. The Cliff Reid production was directed b.v Lew Landers, J. Robert Bren and Edmund L. Hartmann wrote the screen play from the story bv Peter B. Kyne.
