WITH BEN LYON AND GLORIA SWANSON

With Pilot Ben Lyon at the con- trols, flying formed the most popu lar recreation of the cast of "In- discreet," which oomes to the King's Theatre next Sunday.

Lyon, who has the leading male role opposite Miss Swanson, who learned to pilot a plane, and re- ceived a license during the filming of "Hell's Angels," was in the habit of going to a nearby flying field in the evening when the day's work was done; and do an hour or eo of pleasurable flying about, Soon Arthur Lake, who got his air experience in "Air Circus," asked to go along, and the two of them did considerable flying. Other members of the cast, including Monroe Owsley, Barbara Kent and Madue Eburne received rides, from So often has the musical accom young Lyon after work on the pic- paniment of a talking film beenture had ceased for the day, oren desenbed (and in many cases, quitemaking a devout air enthusiast of justly) ng "tiu-can" stuff, that it Owsley, who at first had some mis- is indeed a revelation to hear the givings. splendid reproduction of good story told in this alm of unusual maic that is part and parcel of the

Miss Swanson, however, surpris ed everybody by flying onto the evening when it was thought she had gone home. She had chartered her own plans and challenged Lyon and Owsley to a thrilling affair: with members of race. Needless to Hay, it was a
