The announced purpose of Di
. rector Clarence Brown, and his
cast,. John Barrymore, Helen
Hayes, Clark Gable, Lionel Barry
more, ' Bohert Montgomery and
v Myrna Ioy. In making this film is
i to give the public a clear and dra
l matie Idea of the thrills of air
- mail pilots, and the very human
fearaof their wives and sweet
.s... hearts.
"It is the - first picture of the
air which ever, told both sides cor-
t rectly, the side of the man, and
the side of the woman," states
Director Brown, himself a pilot
with thousands of hours to his
. credit. '
John Barrymore Is Riviere,
stern manager ot an air mall line
whose slogan is, "The mail must
go through." Clark Gable (Fabi
an), Robert Montgomery (Peller
tn) and William Gargan (the Bra-
. . ilian pilot) are ail pilots. Helen
r !i Hayes is Gable's .wife. Myrha Loy
fears for Gargan. C. Henry Gor
don is the president of the air
line against whom Barrymore
fights for the continuance of the
sight schedules. Lionel Barrymore
Is a lumbering, good-hearted in
pector of airplanes, a distinct off-
set to the driving John. Leslie
Fenton Is the wireless operator of
Gable's plane.
: A remarkable musical score ac-
centuating the dramatic values of
the picture has been prepared by
Herbert Stothart, co-composer of
"Rose Marie."
TI00PEE' illil ON
AT STATE THEATRE
"Whoopee," which came to the
State theatre last night, is one of
those pictures which give the pub
lic Its money's worth in almost
any direction you want to think
of. Hilarious comedy from such
experts as Eddie Cantor, the star,
and Ethel Shutta, tuneful girls
galore as only Zlegfeld can pick
them, an affecting love - story,
and a general air of satisfying
larishness make it a picture in a
million.
The story, taken from Owen
Davis famous farce "The Nervous
, Wreck' is concerned with the ad
f rem urea ot an imaginary invalid
en a : western ranch who finds
himself called on to rescue the
ranchman's daughter from an un
welcome marriage. After turning
he-man and doing a satisfactory
Job of getting her married to her
real love, he finds himself in the
hands of the domineering nurse
, who wants to marry him; but he
fca3 been anything but an invalid
tor a few days and refuses to
think himself one any longer.
This plot, with Eddie Cantor
as the imaginary invalid, offers a
million opportunities, none of
which are missed. Both in comedy
and in spectacle, of which the "In
vocation to the Sun" scene at the
end is the most striking. "Whoo
pee" leaves nothing to be desired.

tinies of two people he hates his
unfaithful wife and the false

he allow "them to perish, or shall

Big Attraction
Noel Coward's "Cavalcade,"
transferred to the screen by Fox
Films, opens today at the Holly
wood theatre. v
Coward has woven the story of
the Marryot family, father, moth
er and two sons, their servants, a
butler and maid and their daugh
ter, with a masterful hand against
a background which encompasses
historical, events between 1900
and the present time. -
He presents a terrific indict
ment against those responsible for
the present muddled state of
world afafira but ends , on a high
note of gallant optimism, that an
will go well if we carry- on with
courage and faith.
Most of the principals will be
new to American audiences, al
though the all-star cast contains
such familiar names as Cllve
Brook, Herbert Munttin, Beryl
Mercer, Temple Piggott, John
Warburton, Margaret Lindsay,
Lionel Belmore and Billy Bevan.
Diana Winjrard in the role of
Jane Marryot gives a magnificent
performance which marks her as
Hollywood's greatest "discovery"
in several years. Brook far ex
ceeds the best work he has ever
done before In a picture, while
the performances of Mnndin and
Una O'Connor in character roles.
are notable contributions In screen
acting.
Ursula Jeans and Frank Law-
ton, who carry the young love In
terest, are very capable perform
ers, Miss Jeans being especially
effective ln! her singing of the
"Twentieth Century Blues." Irene
Browne, Merle Tottenham and
others of the large cast add
greatly to the enjoyment of the
picture.
Lloyd's direction leaves nothing
to be desired. He has shown a
complete grasp of his subject and
proven again that the rightly
ranks among the very first of
Hollywood's directors.
"Cavalcade" is a beautiful ad
venture that everyone should ex

Many Small Owners Unable
To pay Fees, Utilities
Commissioner Avers
The definite conclusion that a
large majority of small truck op
erators are financially unable at
the present time to comply with
the requirements of the 1933 bus
and truck law, was one ot the de
termining factors In. the decision
ot Oharles M. Thomas, state utili
ties commissioner, in allowing
these operators to appjy for a 60-
day permit at a cost of $10 and
remit at the end of each 30-day
period the monthly mileage fee
as provided in the act, he an
nounced in a statement.
Thomas made it plain that his
agreement with the truckowners
was an emergency measure and
that it would not be binding af
ter the special legislative session.
Thomas said that criticism of his
agreement with the truck owners
was unwarranted.
"My investigation has led me
to the definite conclusion that
the great majority ot these in
dividuals are not financially able
to meet the requirements of the
present act when strictly con
strued," Thomas' statement read.
"Each one of these individuals
has been supporting a family
through his truck operations. If
unable to continue the result will
be that this Individual will be
come a member of the unemploy
ed and approximately 50,000 peo
ple will be without means of sup
port and require public assist
ance. "In addition, If this great num
ber of operators is barred from
the highways the gasoline rev
enue which is the principal source
of income to the highway com
mission will be lost to the state
and the work of the highway com
mission in completing its highway
program will be impaired.
"The legislature in passing the
act would not forsee the dis
tressed conditions now present in
the state or that the provisions
of the act would produce the sit
uation now confronting us. How
ever, the legislature did ' forsee
that an emergency might arise
and did write into the law a pro
vision giving the commission au
thority to meet emergencies.
"With the provisions of the
agreement in effect the individ
uals who are unable to comply
