The final sequence, in which one pilot dives at another on the field and afterwards rescues him when his plane falls into the Pacific, is about as true to life as a recruiting poster. The sallow aviator is Ramon Novarro...
...longer deemed worthy of wall space. Last week the euphemistically-termed "surplus" art was sold. The highest price was $3,500, paid by Circusman John Ringling for Hans Makart's Diana's Hunting Party, a giant canvas (15 by 32 feet), garish and breezy as a circus poster.

At the end of his freshman year he left college, subsequently studied at the Yale art school and Manhattan's Art Students League for a period of a month apiece...
Pach in his recent book states, "Glancing through the rotogravure supplement of the paper and enjoying the photographs of swimmers, statesmen and stage-dancers, one's eye was caught by the big flag, and one idly read the caption to see whether this was a belated poster from some Y.

A. drive during the recent war, or an invitation to prepare for the next one, in Nicaragua or a place like that, or whether it was not just the advertisement of a firm such as supplies uniforms for military schools and training camps--a masculine pendant...
