12 -THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY How's tkis for Cold-Blooded Abandon? TF this photography gives you a start and knocks the everlasting breath out of your body for a moment, imagine the sensation you will get from a picture made for no other purpose than to feature the daring stunts of an aviator who has been hailed by the entire world as the most cold-blooded proposition who ever arrayed himself in human clothing. Ormer L. Locklear, who performs this stunt and a world more like it, is absolutely devoid of any sensation of fear. There isn't a vestige of "nerves" in his body. While by all that is good and holy he has everything to live for, this man is risking his life time after time, week after week, trying to get a thrill. His attempts are vain, from his own standpoint, but the wonder, the marvel, the supreme abandon of a man who will leap from one airplane to another, thousands of feet in the air, dashing through space with the speed of a meteor, is enough to upset the nervous system of any other earth-clinging mortal. This man frolics about on the tail of a hurtling airplane as coolly as you would sit on the verandah on a summer's evening in your shirt sleeves. His performances in "The Great Air Robbery," built on a man's foolhardiness and made into the most screamingly sensational picture ever devised, will pack people into your theatre until they won't have room to breathe, and what is more, they won't notice the lack of room, because they will be too thrilled to breathe, anyhow.
