■THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY— TKi IS Man Violated Government Rules Wken He First Performed Tkis Stunt. Later the War Department Ori erea Him to Do It to Inspire Other Student Aviators with his Daring. T OCKLEAR began his ca^ reer of dare-deviltry and air deviltry while serving as a flight instructor at a Texas training field. When war was declared, he was commissioned and assigned to an aviation training camp. In a few days he became an instructor, and after a few weeks' training he performed the feat of changing planes, which brought him a severe reprimand from his superior officers on account of the danger of demolishing government property. Then the value of his daring as an inspiration to student aviators was recognized and — he was asked to continue his death-defying act! "The Great Air Robbery" surpasses even the stunts with which the birdman startled the world. While the picture was being produced at Universal City, Orville Wright, the father of the airplane, visited the mammoth studios. After watching Locklear in a big scene, Mr. Wright admitted that he had enjoyed the first thrill in many a day. Cdrl Laemmle the Daredevil of the Skies. ; Univer S"al Je\/el Production de Luxe!
