Stunt ing In a circus f urnlBhes some daring pictures of planes darting about the clouds like birds. One of the best bits In the picture is the portrayal of a plane battling its way through a storm to rescue the passengers of a commercial ship whch has been forced down by the rain. The photography is superb and the Liberty theatre manager, C. M. Wight, defies anyone to sit through the see no without an audible gasp. The 'love scene between the two brothers, Richard Barthelmess and Tom Brown, and pretty parachute Jumping- Sally Ellers Is purely Inci dental but still Is not Incongruously "stuck on" just to please those who must have a love element In their movies. picistc FOR FARMERS IS BIG.
