Here is driving drama, men. and women suddenly plucked from a irtodern world and set amidst tropical' Wilderness, catapulted spectacularly from a luxurious air liner, returning to their true selves. One man whb had given up the world finds it again in the form of a lone girl. Some accept the new rules of existence of love and combat, others rebel, and to those .who see it, it is life with a new lure. The world championship fight in slow motion, Louis v. Schmeling, will be finally screened to-night. “THERE GOES MY GIRL.” A gay, thrill-packed romantic comedy, “There Goes My Girl,” starring Gene Raymond and Ann Sothern will . be screened at the Opera House tomorrow and Thursday. Two ace reporters bn rival newspapers are very much in love and decide to marry, but the city editor of the paper the girl ■works for doesn’t see why cupid should steal his best news hawk, and this furnishes the story. “FLYING HOSTESS.” < A film story as fast moving and as < typical of the modern age as the i mighty airliners which serves as its ] background •is “Flying Hostess,” screening at the Opera House to-mor-row and Thursday, with William Gargan, Judith Barrett and Andy Devine in leading roles. It is a picture with a Wide appeal. Besides romance, it J embodies the additional appeal of the s epic of transportation and man’s ageold conflict with the elements in a

•Kbdern setting. “Flying Hostess” is reminiscent of the grand plays that have been written in the past around the covered wagon, the railroads and. more recently, the automobile. It is the story, absorbingly told, of America’s new, modern era of transportation—the airplane. In highly interesting style, it points l up the courage, the bravery, the idealism and the glamor of the men and women who operate the nation’s great airliners.
