Many Scenes From
"Ships With Wings"
Shot on Ark Royal
-$
Stellar Cast Provides Thrill
ing Action Picture
Here Sunday
John Clements, Leslie Banks,
Jane Baxter, Ann Todd, Basil Syd
ney and Edward Chapman head the
stellar cast of “Ships With Wings,”
the thrilling action picture about
England’s Fleet Air Arm, which will
show at the Plymouth Theatre on
Sunday. The film, which was pro
duced by Michael Balcon and di
rected by Sergei Nolbandov, is pack
ed with thrills and action and most
of its bang-up drama takes place
aboard the famous aircraft carrier
Ark Royal.
In spite of the galaxy of picture
luminaries in the cast, the Ark Royal
—that gaunt, lopsided, powerful
beauty of the sea—emerges as the
top star.
Thrilling Air and Sea Action
One of the most stirring spectacu
lar and sensational scenes ever pho
tographed for the screen shows this
tremendous carrier ploughing through
an inferno of bombs and flying metal,
her deck ablaze from a hit by an
enemy bomber and her planes spew
ing forth in spite of the flames.
Other smashing scenes show the
aerial torpedoing of Axis ships, the
low-flyink bombing of a Greek har
bor, the hero pancaking his plane
onto a German bomber and miracu
lously flying both into a dam which
bursts and decimates a German tank
division poised for a counter-attack.
After the bombs explode, millions of
gallons of water are released, tearing
away the enemy airdrome and their
lines of men and mechanized equip
ment.
Roy Kellino, one of the screen's
top cameramen, sailed in the Ark
Royal on wartime service for three
months, during which time he shot
100,000 feet of film used in “Ships
With Wings.” These shots are pack
ed with spectacular realism and au
thenticity that have already thrill
ed hundreds of moviegoers and given
them their first real view of how an
aircraft carrier operates in action.

Bigger and better film musicals
seem to be the order of the day right
now in Hollywood, with plenty of
well-known featured entertainers
supporting the stars.
While the country is engaged in the
war production and defense effort,
music and laughs are vital in build
ing morale, and so Cinemaland is
rising to fill the need.
The trend is typlified in the new
Paramount fllmusical, “The Fleet’s
In,” which is chockful of gobs, girls,
gags and tunes, and stars three of
the screen’s most popular personali
ties—Dorothy Lamour. William Hol
den and Eddie Bracken.
Showing here next Wednesday at
the Plymouth Theatre, “The Fleet's
In” boasts an unusual lie-up of tal
ent, including Betty Hutton, Ameri
ca’s Number One Jitterbug; Betty
Jane Rhodes, song stylist; Leif Erick
son, veteran of several well-remem
bered roles, and Jimmy Dorsey and
his orchestra, featuring Bob Eberly
and Helen O’Connell, vocalists.
“The Fleet's In” offers seven new
song hits, many of which are sung
by Lamour herself.
And here’s what Dotty says about
pictures like “The Fleet’s In”.
“Call them ‘escape’ pictures if you
like; but it is not from the reality
of our position and the Job that
Americans must do that we are es-!
caping from. We can still be aware
of the tremendous effort we must all
make for victory and still be able to
laugh at the same time and appre
ciate music.”

In my family, my car is king. We
want it to live — to keep running — as
long as possible. That’s why I take it to
a Sinclair Dealer regularly for service.
To save motor wear, I use Opaline
or Sinclair Pennsylvania Motor Oil. To
save wear on gears, chassis and other
vital parts, I have it Sinclair-ized regu

tires, battery, spark plugs, fan belt, oil
and air filters to be sure I get longest
service from all these vital car parts.
