ST. JAMES THEATRE.

"Men With Wings."

"Men With Wings," Paramoant's new Technicolor cavalcade of the air, which will commence at the St. James Theatre on Friday, presents a bird's-eye view of the progress of flying over three decades in the story of three young Americans who devote their lives to the development of aviation. Its all-star cast is headed by Fred Mac Murray Ray Milland. and Louise Campbell. The story opens with the historic flight of the Wright Brothers over Kitty Hawk in 1903. and traces the progress of flying through the early heartbreaking years of experimentation, through the tumultuous World War years, the fabulous boon days of the Coolidge era, the bleak years of the depression, and down to the present of round-the-world nights at lightning speed. Mac Murray and Milland are seen as two fliers who typify the birdmen who have made aviation what it is today. Mac Murray is the devil-may-care adventurer who blazes trails across the sky but cannot stay in any one place long enough to make lasting contributions to aviation. Milland. on the other hand, is the patient experimenter, the far-visioned man who builds the planes for tomorrow's fliers. Miss Campbell, in her first big dramatic role, plays the pioneer airwoman whom both love.
