"Night Flight"

That a great acting treat in store for theatregoers when M-G-M's "Night Fligli!” comes to Queen's on Sunday is assured by the past extra- ordinary records of the individuals contained in one of the finest multi- star casts over assembled for a single. plcture. "Night Flight," considered Portant

enough for such a

n story of the air mall in South America, of its daring pilota, and of the women who wait at home. Clark Gablo is pilot

a terrible battling a storm, and fielen Hayes in the woman who waits at home. Lionel Barry- more plays a doddering old inspector of aeroplanes. Robert Montgomery battles the most difficult air runs of all, that over the mountains. William Gargan C. Henry Gordon, Leylie Fenton, Harry Beresford, Frank Con- ray and Ralf Harolde round out a particularly strong cast.
