Brown, who plays the part of a bogus aviator in “Going Wild,’’ a First National and Vitaphone comedy now at the Theatre. Here’s The Story, And What A Story! (Publication Prohibited. Copyright 1930 by First National Pictures, Inc.) Rollo Smith (Joe E. Brown) and Jack Lane (Lawrence Gray) arrive in Florida, flat broke. At the railroad station they are greeted by a group of enthusiastic girls. It becomes apparent that the girls have been awaiting the arrival of Robert Story, author of an aviation book. Story has hidden himself on the train for fear of running into just such a reception, as he had come to Florida for a rest. But when the girls see the initials on Rollo’s bag, they assume that he is Story. Rollo revels in the sudden fame. Among the first to greet him are Peggy Freeman (Laura Lee), whose brother’s hotel is about to be seized for debt, and her friend Ruth Howard (Ona Munson). Peggy asks Ruth to come to the station in order to persuade the “aviators” to stay at Peggy’s brother’s (Frank McHugh’s) hotel, as the presence of such famous guests will get the hotel out of its financial rut. The “aviators” agree to stay at Peggy’s hotel. They have a fine time, autographing copies of Story’s book and posing as crack fliers. Rollo tells many aviations stories to the admiring vacationists of the fashionable colony. But his fun is brought to an end by two developments: first, a mysterious woman (May Boley) demands $10,000. Rollo doesn’t know it, but she has a sister to whom, she thinks, Story owes $10,000. The second development is the announcement that there is to be an air race, and before he realizes what he is doing, Rollo agrees to pilot the plane which Ruth’s father is backing. Rollo has fallen for Peggy, and Jack for Ruth, and it is at Peggy’s urging that Rollo agrees to pilot Ruth’s father’s plane, upon which he has wagered great sums. Rollo never has been in a plane, but does not dare admit it after practicing the deception of having written a stirring aviation novel. The race comes off, Peggy hiding in the plane. The plane takes off, zooming about madly, executing falling leaves, barrel rolls and turns that aren’t in the flying routine. So wildly does Rollo fly that he chases the competing plane out of the air, thus winning the race, as it is a semi-endurance contest. Peggy and Rollo leap from the plane in their parachute, and on their flight to earth Rollo proposes and is accepted. There is a happy landing.
