BULLS THE PICTURES “The Lone Eagle,” a UniversalJewel production, featuring Raymond Keane and Barbara Kent with a splendid supporting cast of screen favourites opens at the Bulls Town Hall on Saturday. A screen adaptation of Lieutenant Ralph Blanchard’s thrilling story of aviators during the world war. “The Lone Eagle” is a picture that has attracted particular interest throughout the country because of the vividness with which it portrays the actual happenings of the intrepid flyers during the fevered war period. The direction is by Emory Johnson , who made “The Fourth Commandment,” now establishing box-office records wherever shown. According to advance notices, “The Lone Eagle” surpasses even that sterling picture in appeal and heart interest. The two featured players in the production, although virtually new-comers to the screen have both already firmly established themselves in the public eye. Keane created an overnight sensation with his part in the Universal picture, “The Midnight Sun,’’ and Miss Kent was recently chosen as a 1927 Baby Star by the Wampas, an association" of motion picture publicity men.
