Air Dare Devil Stars in Movie "Three Miles Up" New Martin fly," the "bird 'man," the "sky pilot" and various other names indicative of his marvelous skill an aviator, stunt man and aerial acrobat. None of them are adequate, as will be scen by those watching the screening of "Three Miles Up." as Wilson has been called the "human The story around the aviator is not Billy greatest artists of the future on the screen is a little girl, hardly bigger than a minute. Her name is Sally O'Neil. No less a judge than Marie Dress- ler, for years a star in New York and London, and perhaps one of the best- known comediennes in the entire stage world, says so. According 10 Mis: Dressier, of all the young actresses she has seen in Hollywood, Miss O'Neil impresses her as the most likely material for a sen- sational starring success. Miss O'Neil and Miss Dressler met during the filming of "The Callahans and the Murphys," Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's filmization of the Kathleen Norrais novel, coming Thursday nighi to the Regent Theatre. Miss O'Neil plays the leading feminine role in the picture, with Miss Dressler as her mo- ther, the redoubtable "Mrs. Callahan," principal comedy character in the story. One of the A Spark of Genius "For thirty-eight years," says Miss Dressler, "I have watched young girls screen, and have noticed that to win success there is an indefinable some- thing that signalizes the spark of gen- ius in those who reach the top. Sally has this something that sets her apart from other girls, and I predict that in" three years' time she will be one ot the greatest box-office names on the screen." Miss O'Neil has already scored striking successes in "Mike," "Frisco "Sally Levy," "Sally, Irene and Mary," "Slide, Kelly, Slide" and other big pro- ductions. The new picture in which she plays the leading feminine role is a hilari- ous comedy-romance of Irish life in New York, hinging on the battles be- tween two Irish familics--with a deli- cate love story interwoven. As a no- vel it was one of Kathleen Norris' most notable successes. Lawrence Gray plays the leading male role and Polly Moran is promin- ently cast also. Others in the cast are Gertrude Olmstead, Eddie Gribbon, Tom Lewis, Turner Savage, Drew Demarest, Dawn O'Day, Jackie Coombs, Monty O'Grady and others of note. George Hill, director of "Tell It to the Marines," directed the mew story from a scenario by Frances Marion. STEAMER RUNS ASHORE ON ANTECOSTI ISLAND Halifax, N.S., .
