WINGS ( 1927 ) 189 The story of Wings concerned the part played by our air force during the battle of the Saint-Mihiel salient. William A. Wellman, who directed the picture, was highly praised for his handling of the story and particularly for his masterly treatment of the flying sequences. This was hardly surprising, as Wellman had been an aviator during the war. The cast of Wings also included Clara Bow, Gary Cooper, and Richard Aden. BELOW Douglas MacLean, after establishing himself with the public in Twenty-three and a Half Hours' Leave, in 1919, followed a career of ups and downs, culminating in Going Up, which he backed himself. The picture placed him near the front rank of the screen's comedians. In 1927 he entertained with Soft Cushions, ably abetted by Sue Carol. MacLean, by the way, is now a Hollywood producer.
