They include: f f wt ivr ▼ T J.il\JFO No need to review its amazing success as a road show. Now coming to picture houses with the same tremendous sound presentation that has enthralled $2 audiences. See and hear it for yourself! Hear the thrilling drone of the propellers and the zooming of the 'planes. Hear the stabbing rat-tat-tat of the machine guns as they spit death from Allied and German cockpits. The explosion of the bombs; destruction of balloons. Sound at its most startling best! A William Wellman production. With the screen's most popular girl, Clara Bow. The great coming star, Charles Rogers. Richard Arlen, Gary Cooper and others. *i" 4* "THE WEDDING MARCH" Erich von Stroheim's gorgeous masterpiece. Even without sound it would be one of the finest money pictures ever produced by Paramount. With sound — with the wedding music, bells and ceremonial trumpetings in the world's most luxurious cathedral — with its heart-throbbing scenes heard as well as seen — it is incomparable! Not to speak of its dazzling Technicolor sequences and Its mighty cast, which includes von Stroheim himself and adorable Fay Wray. "ABIE'S IRISH ROSE" Anne Nichols' great piece of screen entertainment. Soon to go to picture theatres. Synchronized with one of the finest music scores ever written, plus other thrilling sound effects. In addition to the best 'performance of Jean Heraholt's career, and Hersholt talking in many scenes, you hear Charles Rogers and Nancy Carroll, musical comedy star, singing the lovely theme songs of the play. Directed by Victor Fleming. *J**J*»|«»fi4*,l"*f' + + ,^,4*,i'
