128 The Filmgoers' Annual A remarkable study of Jean Harlow, who plays, in "Hell's Angels," the most controversial part of the film year. searchlights and would have been a target for antiair-craft guns. The observation car in " Hell's Angels," as well as the dirigible itself, is an exact reproduction of the one used over Calais. The other two outstanding features of the Zeppelin sequence, which you will readily recall after seeing the picture, also actually occurred — the first over France and the second over Dover. Dr. K. Arnstein, of Germany, who served as technical adviser in filming the dirigible sequence of " Hell's Angels," was one of the high officials of the Zeppelin company during the World War, and supervised construction of many of the Zeppelins used in the latter part of the war. In " Hell's Angels " you see on the screen an exact historical reproduction, accurate in every detail, of the principal part the now world famous Zeppelin played in the World War. Incidentally, you see many new faces in " Hell's Angels." In striving for complete realism Producer-Director Howard Hughes endeavoured to get away from well-known actors as much as possible, and use, instead, new players who were in themselves the characters required, so they could live rather than act their parts. Authorities on war-time aviation who have seen " Hell's Angels " agree that it is not only the most authentic air film to date, but one of the greatest achievements in the history of aeronautics as well. Jean Harlow, whose performance in the earlier part of " Hell's Angels" has been the subject of discussion, is an American society girl who had no previous experience in pictures or on the stage. She is a blonde with an exceptional personality.
