ENTERTAINMENTS.
ST. JAMES THEATRE. Spectacular dying, four stellar players and a four-star story provide startling entertainment in “Tost Pilot,” most authentic aviation picture yet produced, which is showing at the St. James Theatre this evening. The film will have a specially extended season to Wednesday, with a matinee on Tuesday. Clark Gable, Mvrnn. Loy, Spencer Tracy and Lionel Barrymore head the cast of the first air picture produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayor in more than two years. Director Victor Homing has incorporated some of the most striking flying scenes yet seen in an aviation picture. The nature of the subject, dealing as it does' with men who daily dare their lives in a duel with death,, ensures a world of thrills. The story is that of a test pilot, played by Gable. Without varying from factual experience, it tells exactly how one of these daredevils lives, not sparing the man, but withal showing that he is human. Tho romance is a threecornered affair between Clark Gable, Myrna Lov, and tho “woman in tho sky,” who is the pilot’s first love. Spencer Tracy sacrifices his life to prove to Gable that his wife is far more important than the calling which has been forever clutching at the narrow thread of his life.
