"LILAC TIME"
Jeannine and Capt. Philip Blythe, in the greatest romance of the war.
At the aerial headquarters Jeannine prayed for the safety of the squadron.
The fatal crash — as the plane hit the ground and as the gasping spectators saw it.
The constant j tramp of troops moving up to the front.
TWO great artists have combined talents to make the greatest of all romantic specials! Charming, inimitable Colleen Moore and Director George Fitzmaurice are the names that add lustre to the already wide box-office value of the Jane CowlJane Murfin stage success, "Lilac Time."
Heart interest — the greatest of all word-of-mouth-advertising media — is the keynote. As throbbing as the aerial motors of the British squadron is the pulsating love story between a captain of aviation and the little French girl on the Western front.
For sheer pictorial beauty and romantic splendor "Lilac Time" has never been surpassed. For aerial thrills, splendid characterization and vivid performances the picture marks a high spot of cinematic entertainment.
To obtain accurate scenes of aerial war and unusual thrills at 8,000 feet above ground the company established regular aerial headquarters camp and spent two months on location. Crack stunt flyers co-operated in making the scenes. Lives were risked and money was spent to obtain combat above the clouds as it has never been filmed before.
The result stands as a tribute to John McCormick who presents this special, to Director George Fitzmaurice, to Colleen Moore, the star, Gary Cooper, the leading man, and a long, notable cast.
For motion picture audiences "Lilac Time" will stand as a crowning glory of cinematic charm, a special big in name values — even bigger in entertainment satisfaction.
