AIR POCKETS
With L1QE CONLEY
Supervised by JACK WHITE
Jack White pulls a lot of clever slapstick stuff and some new stunts in this two-reel Mermaid. He is supported by such funsters as Lige Conley, Earl Montgomery, Sunshine Hart, Olive Borden, Peg O'Neil and Otto Fries.
Jack in this one uses to the same excellent advantage that technique of his, so well developed, which gives the crowd a thrill before almost every laugh. "Air Pockets" is like a rough ocean — nothing but a series of high waves. But in the Jack White lingo, what waves these are! The first roller is the thrill and the second is the laugh, and they alternate like this all the way through.
These waves certainly ought to be a diversion to the movie fan because, of the Jack White waves, there is not a single one during the entire film skit which is not crested with the sparkling foam of audience interest. Some great stuff is done with aeroplanes and collapsible Fords.
— Moving Picture World Lige Conley goes the limit in this thrilling comedy. His flight in a plane is something to behold. The picture is full of tricks and each one brings a laugh.
The picture is funny . . . Conley is a scream.
