STORY. OF RENEGADE

AVIATORS

A gripping drama of an aerial legion of fost men, "Flight. from Glory. RKO Radio Picture with Chester Morris and Whitney Bourne in the leading roles, opens at the Queen's Theatre to-day.

Unusually outstanding are the powerful characterizations offered by the cast principals and the novel story.

Concerning the harrowing ex- perience of a group of renegade aviators engaged in flying condem ned planes over the lofty peaks of the treacherous Andes, the excit

ing story attains unusual drama-

tic height in its vivid depiction of the reaction of these exiled men to a young girl whom circums tances bring to the remote South American settlement.

The cast includes Chester Morris,

Miss Bourne, Onslow Stevens, Van Hein, Douglas Walton. Rita LaRoy and other capable players.

Glenda Farrell heretofore could not properly be classed as a lover of dogs. She has nothing against them, but neither did she particularly about them. But Glenda forgot all about all her in difference toward dogs in "Dark Hazard" now showing at the King's Theatre.

"The Adventures Of DIARY OF LOCAL

Marco Polo"

There's a little clay figure in the Temple of Ten Thousand Deities in Canton, China. And because of that bit of hardened earth. put there centuries ago, Samuel Gold wyn is making a film called "The Adventures of Marco Polo,"

Mr. Goldwyn has never been in the Temple of Ten Thousand Deities He has never seen that! little idol. nor is he apt to. But Captain Norman A. Pogson saw | twenty-five years ago and that's where he got the Idea that the life of the greatest travelling man of all time should be put on film. For the Cantonese gure is t figure of Marco Polo, who in the 13th century journeyed from Venice to Pekin and far 17 years was the right-hand man of Kublal Khan of an empire extending from the Arctic Circle to India and from the Pacific ocean what is now Bulgaria.

Pogson knows a great deal about the 13th century, about Kublai Khan and Marco Polo. He spent eleven years in China and for eight of those eleven years he was digging into the Polo legends, collecting data on the greatest of the Khans.

Thisa And Data

Don Terry, featured in Columbia's "Paid To Dance" a story center- Ing on night clubs and the hostess racket, was actually discovered for pictures while sitting in a Holly wood night club. He is featured with Jacqueline Wells in the fim.

Captain Pogson is an English- man. He was born in Nottingham and went to China on government business in 1907. It was in 1910 that he saw the clay figure in the Temple, of Ten Thousand Deities. "I noticed that it had the colours and features of a Euro- pean," he says. "And I asked whs the little god might be. They told me he was a European who lived One hundred and fifty dancers in the 13th century and who be-fox-trotted came a great man. I began dig. ging into the matter and found that it was the figure of Marco Polo."

The captain, who got his mili-

tazy title in the Great War, was Intrigued by the figure,, That started him off on the trail of Marco Polo and he spent the next eight years collecting information, running down legends.

Pogson's story is not concerned with Marco Polo's own impersonal accounts of his travels. It deals, the expert says, with the events of the adventurer's life which have ved on in Chinese legends and which have never been previously unearthed.
