tion Gratified
The ambition of many a young man--and woman-to fly, and to do so without spending much money, seems likely to be gratified by the advent of M. Henri Mignet's "Pou du Ciel" which has been translated into the English "Fly- ing Flea."
M. Mignet has arrived in Eng- land to
his demonstrate what little machine can do. He built it himself for about £70 after four years' hard work. In a radio talk he told how he and his wife Uved alone in the middle of a wood in France for two years trying out his little plane; altering, learning by minor crashes, altering and trying again. Til at last came the great day when he went up 1,000 feet and essayed his
turn, and found that his "Pow" turned and banked to perfection There are now some 400 of 'them bulit or being built in France and a number in Great Britain.
WHAT IT MEANS
the picture features Lionel" Atwill and "Cesar" Romero as Miss Die- trich' rival lovers. Atwill as a | Spanish captain whose career has been ruined by his love for Miss Dietrich, attempts to dissuade his
young friend Romero, from falling into her net. But the wilful boy and the unhappy man claan and meet in a duel. In a gripping climax the heartless siren sudden- ly learns the meaning of love and turns to the man who had suffered most for her.
The picture set in the colour and grandeur of Spain, has a beautiful and colourful carnival scene for its highspot. Songs by Ralph Rainger and Leo Rabia, authors of "Love In Bloom" and other recent hits, are sung by Miss Dietrich in "The Woman Is A Devil"
Prominent in the cast are Ed- ward Everett Horton, Allison Skip- worth and Don Alvarado.
