Wings (1927), Played By Russ Peck

Wings combines two then-emerging, innovative technologies ? the airplane and the moving picture ? into one cinematic experience! The immortal Clara Bow stars as Mary Preston, a sweet "girl next door" and Army ambulance driver desperately in love with a dashing young airman from her hometown. The airman, played by Charles "Buddy" Rogers, and his rival-turned-friend played by Richard Arlen, experience intense training and heart-stopping air battles during their time in the service. This is just one screening in our Silent Movie Mondays series at the Balboa Theatre.
