Show VICTORYJHEATRE Robert Young, Maureen O'Sul-livan O'Sul-livan and Rosalind Russell provide the romantic background of a great character performance by Wallace Berry in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "West Point of the Air," which comes to the Victory theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Berry is a grizzled old sergeant instructor in-structor at immense Randolph Field (the great army aviation school where eighty per cent of the picture was filmed), while Robert Young is his debonair, too flippant son. Young's flippancy leads him to the point where his nerves break; where he commits the unpardonable military sin, and' is saved only when his father sacrifices his whole career for the honor of his son. These contingencies contin-gencies come about because of the tangled love interest . . . Miss 0'-Sullivan, 0'-Sullivan, daughter of a general (Lewis Stone), on one side . . . Miss Russell, presenting the case for sophisticated Park avenue. It isn't the first times in literary history that a man's whole career has hung upon a woman's word, but in this case the absorbing story as directed by Richard Ros-son Ros-son gains terrific impetus because of the amazing air feats which are part and parcel of the training course at Randolph field. "Sweet. Adeline", Warner Brothers Bro-thers new musical spectacle and 'said to be the most pretentious of all their gigantic specials, shows at the Victory Wednesday and Thursday of next week, with Irene Dunne, famous stage and screen singing star, in the title role.

Unique dancing numbers are staged by Bobby Connolly on novel and mammoth sets with scores of Hollywood's' most beautiful girls taking part. The picture is laid in the glamorous period of the gay nineties with the Broadway theatrical world as its setting. Irene Dunne has the role of a 'singer in her father's famous Ho-j Ho-j boken beer garden which is the j rendezvous of theatrical folks and New York's young bloods and men about town. Donald Woods plays opposite her in the romantic role with Louis Calhern as his rival. Four of the film colony's most talenteil comedians are said to give the picture a hilarious comedy touch that is unequaled.

"Society Doctor," the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ' picture which shows at the Victory theatre Friday Fri-day and Saturday, April 26-27, has as its setting the various departments de-partments of a great metropolitan hospital. Yet, in the sense of the word, it is not a hospital drama. It is a faithful chronicle of human emotions, a composite life-time crowded into the brief span of eight hours. Chester Morris and Virginia Bruce are teamed as the featured players, each offering excellent ex-cellent performances Morris as the rebellious young surgeon, Dr. Morgan, who does not believe that love and marriage can mix with a professional career, and Miss Bruce as the nurse, Madge Wilson. Robert Taylor, a new comer to the screen, forms the third angle of the love triangle as Dr. Ellis, another interne. Myrna Loy in "Wings In the Dark," is the other feature for the 'I twin bill. |
