“But, mother, you wouldn't want me to marry a man on such short acquaintance. Maybe he doesn't even play bridge.” — THIS CURIOUS WORLD -— ALASKA CARRIES THE SAME OATE.

Directed by Al Rogell, “Air Hostess” ‘Whistling in the Dark’ Has Riotous Plot Showing at the Paramount tomor- Tow and Friday. For laughter and thrills, the Metro- Goldwyn - Mayer mystery comedy, “Whistling in the Dark,” can be recommended without reservation. There is not a single dull spot, and with such comedy experts as Ernest ‘Truex, leading comedian of the New was written for the screen by the! York and London stage, and Una writers, Keene Thompson and Milton Raison and opens a run of two days at the Capitol Theater Friday. Pre- view audiences have labeled it a high- powered action drama, abounding in high altitude romance. A thrilling tale of a twentieth century daughter of the skies flying blind into a love that looped-the-loop with her heart. A roaring romance above the clouds that side-slips to a crack-up and then | zooms to a happy landing.

Battle of Wits The fun revolves around the at- tempt of Truex, as an author of mur- der mystery stories, and Miss Merkel, as his society girl fiancee, to plan a “perfect crime” for a band of crooks, who threaten them with death if they fail. Against the half-dozen desper- ate thugs who hold them captive in a deserted house, the diminutive Truex pits his nimble novelist’s wit, and suc- ceeds in turning the laugh on them. For eleven months Truex starred in the Broadway production of this play, and the skill of his droll per- formance on the screen gives evidence that a new star has been found in the Hollywood firmament. As in “Red-Headed Woman,” Una Merkel surpasses all expectations as a come- dienne. Deft characterizations are given by such lesser members of the cast as Edward Arnold, John Miljan, C.
