Its story calls for lightning fast thrillls and they come fast and heavy bolding one spellbound until the ^finish. Much of thq fun and excite ment hinges on the auto test made by Monty Banks, taking lessons in driv ing. and in the big race in ’ which Monty plows through billboards and fences, jumps chasms, ravines and rivers and tears in and around the country in a mad effort to keep on the course. This race in which Monty Banks surprises racing fans when he drives a highpowered racing car through a thousand deaths is the piece de resis tance of "Racing Luck." This speed display js alone sufficient to give an audiehcc. thrills aplenty. Yet the other sections of the story arc speeded along in a meYry comic way, creating laughter and building up an exciting love story all the way. Mon ty Banks keeps the speed pounding at high pitch.
