Theatre, starring Joe E. Brown, is a descendant of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Her illustrious forebear was Oliver Wolcott, one of the prominent fomenters of the American Revolution, and she is descended from him on her father’s side of the family. Miss Munson is making her first screen appearance in “Going Wild,” after a brilliant career on Broadway in musical comedy, where she was an outstanding success for her singing, dancing, and beauty. She played in “Hold Everything” and “Twinkle, Twinkle,” recently, before coming to the screen. She is under a long term contract to First National Pictures. Her home is Portland, Oregon, where her father is a real estate dealer. She is married to Eddie Buzzell. Walter Pidgeon, Laura Lee, Frank McHugh, Lawrence Gray, Johnny A‘thur and many others are in this hilarious faree which was directed by William A, Seiter, AVIATOR IS NEW FEMININE IDOL, POLL OF FIRST NATIONAL STARS DECISIVELY REVEALS Most Romantic Figure Since Pony-Exp Rider, Says Laura Lee, “(Going Wild” Star and Holder of Pilot’s License (A timely aviatrix feature, telling how aviators appeal to modern girls) The aviator is the new knight of all the fair ladies. Upon this theme is built ‘‘Going Wild,’’ the hilarious avia tion comedy now playing at the Theatre. But lest it be suspected that the theme has been created for humorous purposes, let it be recalled that ever since Captain Eddie Rickenbacker returned from France, bedecked with medals and the unofficial title of Supreme American War Ace, there has been a universal flutter of feminine hearts almost at the mere mention of an aviator. And, of course, not without cause, for what profession, vocation, avocation or hobby so completely fills the romantic requirement of the eternal feminine? A eanvass of girl stars at the First National studios revealed an all but unanimous choice of the airman as the ideal modern, romantic type. Laura Lee, who appears in “Going Wild,” knows probably more aviators than any other motion picture star, as she took a flying course at a Long Island field, and holds a limited yfilot’s license. Slie can, therefore, speak with authority. And she does speak with authority. She is emphatic in stating that so far as she is concerned and most of the girls she knows, the aviator is the most colorful man since the pony express rider. Just like the pony express rider the aviator must know not only how to ride his “steed,” but how to keep cool in time of danger, how to keep from straying from his course. Furthermore, he never is a mollycoddle. Ona Munson, another player in “Going Wild,’ met a number of stunt fliers during the filming of the picture. “What mostly impressed me,” she coid (Ga that acida eam the cous also have that adds .vasurably to charm.” “One has only to look at Colonel Lindbergh,” said Marilyn Miller, “to understand wherein lies the reason for feminine adulation of aviators. Clean-cut, modest and courageous. Any man who is all of these three, and who engages in an activity that is so glamorous as flying, will inevitably be a hero of women everywhere, no matter whether or not he tries to be.” Dorothy Mackaill, Irene Delroy and Loretta Young agreed with Marilyn Miller and the other stars. Marion Nixon pleaded that she really knew no aviators and that she was open to conviction. Until then, she said she liked to think of the polo player as the type that mostly affects a girl’s heart. In “Going Wild” it is feminine adulation for an _ aeronautical D,Artagnan that: forces Joe E. Brown into the enormously funny situation of having to race a plane despite his never having been in one before. And it isn’t entirely ineredible that a man might do that to hold the admiration which the modern girl feels for an aviator! He’s No Pagliaccio (Current reader on Joe E. Brown. Great human interest.) Joe E. Brown, now appearing in “Going Wild” at the... 7s. Theatre, is a living contradiction to the time-worn “Laugh, Clown, Laugh” adage. To quote Joe, “The fable that a comedian’s laugh hides a tear, is as much a thing of the past as horsecars. A comedian nowadays is a comedian, whether he is addressing a paid audience or a group of friends.” Anyone with the slightest acquaintance with Joe E. Brown will readily admit that he “is like that.” It is a widely known fact that he is equally funny off stage as on. “Going Wild” is easily the funniest picture of Joe E. Brown’s long career. It is a First National and Vitaphone Picture and has Lawrence Gray, Ona Munson, Laura Lee, Walter Pidgeon and many others besides Joe Brown in the cast. Frank Clarke, Ace Stunt Aviator, Also Air Comic Explains Difficulty Ma’ Film Like “Going Wik (Advance Flying Feature) Stunt aviation is dangerous and thrilling enough, flying is even hazardous. Plenty of laughs are produced with airplanes in “Going Wild,” the First National and Vitaphone production starring Joe E. Brown. Among the famous stunt aviators who flew in this picture are Frank Clarke, Leo Nommis, and Roy Wilson, all of whom have worked in Hollywood’s most spectacular air pietures. as One of the biggest laughs of the eT = — rplane gets our but comedy stunt more difficult and laughs aplenty. One of the other comedy seque? was done by Nommis, who we sponsible for directing from t+ the thrilling air duels of “The . Patrol,” Richard Barthelmess’ starring pictures. “Tt is much harder to produce laughs in a plane than thrills,” says Clarke. “You not only have to do a great deal of trick flying of a hazardous nature, but in addition to keeping your mind on operating the ship — you must also follow the technique for comedy effects which has been worked out in advance by the fliers, directors, and the cameramen.” Clarke is co-author of “Air Devils,” recounting his experiences in flying for pictures. Although he has been flying for thirteen years, all of it in stunt work, he has had only two erack-ups, neither serious. Walter Pidgeon, Ona Munson, Laura Lee, Lawrence Gray, and Frank McHugh are in the cast of “Going Wild,” which comes to the Theatre on Bored With Banqu Speakers? Yow... O. K. “Going Wild” (Current story; general reader) All those who don’t like banquets —and who is there that does except the speakers?—will enjoy “Going Wild,” Joe E. Brown’s hilarious First National comedy, now showing at the gene ae ee Theatre. One of the funniest sequences of this picture presents Brown making an after-dinner speech at a Florida banquet, telling how it happened that Eddie Rickenbacker got a few more planes during the war than he did. Brown plays the role of a newspaperman who is mistaken for a famous aviator. His banquet speech is really a magnificent burlesque on all of the noted “How I Did it” speakers who have inflicted themselves on banquets for years. : Walter Pidgeon, Lawrence Gray, Ona Munson, Laura Lee and Frank McHugh are others in the east witr the banquet-debunker. aa eRe ae ee aT ee
