Many a sportsman has his pilot's license, his private plane. But not until last week could he look forward to the prospect of a day at his flying country club. Miss Ruth Rowland Nichols, Junior Leaguer of Rye, N. Y., enthusiastic amateur aviatrix with a non-stop flight from New York to Miami to her credit, shouldered the task of promoting three clubs in New York and New Jersey, forerunners of a nation-wide chain of private and exclusive country clubs devoted to aeronautical sports. Associated with Promoter Nichols are such younger capitalists as William A. Rockefeller, William...
...designs a clotheshorse the thing is as lovely as a statue; his screens arc metal tapestries, executed with the clarity of silhouettes, touched with a unique grace, severe, luxurious and odd.

Then, with his beard close to the camera, he began to talk and confess to the public what a genial and gentle old fellow he really is. He made faces, explaining that he can look like Benito Mussolini and then, in a jiffy...
...grand duke and the girl escape across the border to avoid being butchered by the shaggy Soviets. In The Red Dance they do it in an airplane. And yet, the film is first-class entertainment. Dolores Del Rio and Charles Farrell are a capable pair, though they do not look very Russian. To Ivan Linow went the sympathy and the praise of the audience. He plays the part of a vodka-guzzling peasant, who thinks no woman worth more than a horse, and who becomes one of the Soviet dictators. But he makes possible the escape of the grand duke...
