“FLIGHT” DRAWS BIG HOUSES AT THE CIVIC.
Last night there wa-s another large audience for the second week of “ Flight’s ” season at the Civic Theatre, and the popularity of the picture can be gauged by the'fact that large audiences have attended every performance so far. The film is of a very high calibre. Some of the photography is magnificent, and the production must have entailed much labour and expense. The daring of some
of the aerial evolutions shown with telling force in the film outdoes that of any aerial pageant. The close formation flying is at once a surprise and a revelation, and the c-nlooker must needs wonder how the intrepid airmen can keep their ’phanes so close to another without bringing about a disastrous collision. The spectacular wonder of the film is well supplemented by a fine dramatic story, with its exciting passages, its love interest and its comedy. Jack Holt, Lila Lee and Ralph Graves are the leading characters, and the quality of their acting is remarkably fine.
