THE SILVER SCREEN. $1,360
"WINGS " AT MAJESTIC THEATRE.
$98
$740

$340 $880
All those who are interested in high courage, the bravery of un- selfish and unheeding youth, Bad aplendour of youthful sacrifice, and beauty of buman comradeship should go to see "Wings" at the Majestic Theatre, Kowloon, this week. It is a film setting forth the work of the young knights of the clouds in the war, but it is more than a film. It is an epic of fear- less young manhood, a peean of 14 whose tribute to the airman. wings are folded forever"-as a beautiful phrase of dedication "ays, --and it is also an amazing example of what can be achieved in the air. How this picture ever came to be made passes one's, understanding. It is no combination of trickery and | #51 models, but a realistic visualization
of real people riding the clouds and triumphing over the dawn..
The story is one of genuine drama, rich with the finest qualities that lie at the basis of friendships of youth, and touched with infinite beauty of romance. Those who have no knowledge of aviation will marvel at the astounding scenes and sights presented upon the screen, scenes which are amplified by mechanical methods until at times it almost seems as if you were part and parcel of the vivid drama you are beholding. Dramatic effects are produced by the addition of a good orchestra, which rendered the exact mic Lis composed "Wings" by the well-known Ameri can composer J. S. Zamoonik.
for
"Wings" is being shown for a limited engagement and patrons are advised to book their seats in ad- vance at Moutrie's or the theatre to avoid disappointment.
