SUMMER THEATRE
`Blue Wax' Starts June 29
During the four year span of
World War I, the introduction of
air power into warfare brought
about a new breed of man, the
fighter pilot, a daredevil who duel-
led in the air in the earliest forms
of aircraft.
The story of one of these winged
warriors is told in 20th Century-
Fox's "The Blue Wax," in color,
starring George Peppard, James
Mason, Ursula Andress, Jeremy
Kemp and Karl Michael Vogler,
which begins its reserved seat en-
gagement at the Summit Theater
June 29. The screenplay by Gerald
Hanley, David Pursall and Jack
Seddon is based on the best-sell-
ing novel of the same name by
Jack D. Hunter.
Charles Bonaparte—a grandson
of a brother of the Emperor Napo-
leon—served as U.S. secretary of
the navy in 1905 and as -U.S. attor-
ney general from 1906 to 1909.
