Later, he learns that a new ruling places htm over the age limit for transport pilots. He blames Foster, gets a Job barnstorming, and is about to fail up when news arrives of the new Government plan to train college men to fly.

Foster, as air Inspector, proves not a bad fellow after all when he gets Srott appointed air Instructor at Institute. Things begin to look up for Scott until he runs Into Robert Shaw, an enthusiastic youth, whose sister, tMargnret Lindsay), won't let him fly. She and Randy begin to take an interest in each oth'r. however, that's entirely apart from flying. And then matters reach a climax when a student has to bail out over a desolate mountainous area, and young Shaw, despite the Instructor's protects, goes along with him to rescue the lost student.

There's plenty of hair-raising flying before matters, both In the air and In love-making, reach an even keel again. The second attraction provides a riot of lauslis with Joe Penner and the pulrhritudlnous Betty Grablc in "The Day the Bookies Wept."

"Babes In Arms" is no exception, though the story of how the offspring of a number of derelict vaudevllllans show they have the old trouper spirit and ability to win places for themselves in the world which has dropped their parents is at least off the beaten track.

"HIGH SCHOOL GIRL" At Troven Pictures. "High School Girl" starring Cellla Parker opened at the Proven Picture Theater yesterday. It is set the period around 1923, we should say. and has tne cast besides Cecelia, at least two formerly well-known players, Helen MacKellar and Crane Wilbur. The story is one of those seldom touched upon in the films, and Is given earnest treatment by the actors In It.

Whether it has a real place among those to whom it is directed. Is a matter of conjecture. The story shows that the lack of interest on the part of busy parents often leads to tragic consequences for the children. The film claims to be in line with fights being waged in a number of states for the introduction, into the regular high school curriculum, of a course in personal hygiene, which some states already have provided for. There are many who believe that when such subjects are taught it will go far toward solving the difficult social problem, presented by the film.

I can't remember who else was in it, but you probably will recall the story of a Chicago businessman who starts from scratch after the great fire, builds one of the city's biRgest mercantile businesses for his children and then is successively disappointed bv one after another of them. His fighting spirit and vision are inherited by one of his sons, and the letter's sterling qualities are at first overlooked.
