The Moving Picture Weekly (1920-1921)

■THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY 11 Tke Bravest of tke Brave DO you want to see the most thrilling, hairraising, dare-deviltry that ever passed before the eyes of man ? Ormer L. Locklear, who served Uncle Sam in the air service during' the war, and who has startled the world by leaping from one aeroplane to another in mid-air, is featured in a picture made by Universal, which for sheer, pure gasp-producing, daring thousands of feet up in the blue ether, where the slightest misstep or false move would mean death, has never been approached. War-hardened aviators, dubious and "hardboiled," who believed the world held nothing new in the wav of hare-brained stunts among the clouds, have seen "The Great Air Robbery," in which Locklear is featured, have shuddered and declared to a man that the last thought in simon-pure abandon and utter disregard of personal safety had been reached by this young cloud-devil. No other aviator alive ever attempted the feat of leaping from one plane to another. Yet this intrepid young man has been doing it for months. He startled the entire world by his daring. He obtained hundreds of columns of newspaper space. "The Great Air Robbery" eclipses anythingand everything ever undertaken to make the public gasp with mixed feelings of terror and amazement. The greatest scenes of the picture were staged among the clouds, and were taken by an aviator cameraman who raced through space alongside of Locklear's plane. You get close-ups of Ormer Locklear as he crawls out on the wing of his plane and leaps for the flying ladder of the villain's "ship." When you show "The Great Air Robbery" in your theatre (if you don't you'll regret it as long as you live), you will want to sit in the audience at every performance to watch again and again these nerve-wrecking stunts.
