"If I Were King" Coming Craterian Show "Vacation From Love" Coming Perfect Specimen fEDFOTJP MATT, TRTBTTXE. MF.PFORD. OREO OX. RFXTUY. DECEMBER 4. IfT.S , The dramatic story f the men and women pioneers of the air a genera tion which Includes such great names as Wilbur and Orllle Wright, Glenn Curtis-, Blerlot, Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Wiley Post and Howard Hughes la told In the new aviation epic In technicolor, "Men With Wings." which opens a tour-day run today at the Craterian theatre. Through the experience of Its three leading characters, played by Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland and Louise Campbell. "Men With Wings" traces the history of aviation from Its first flight at the dawn of the twentieth century down to its present day triumphs. As the dramatic story of "Men With Wings" unfolds, the three friends are carried forward In the torrential surge , of aviation's progress. The outcome of flying's struggle for life at the opening of the century means success or failure to them. The World war, when the machine they have built threatens to destroy civilization it self, means life and death. Swept along by & force they cannot even explain, they rush on through the boom days of the twenties, with Miss Campbell vainly trying to choose be tween the two types of blrdmen the courageous plane-builder Milland and the devil-may care flier MacMurray. The turbulent thirties bring new heartaches and new triumphs to the trio, but they never lose the pioneer's passionate devotion to the progress of aviation. The first airplane picture ever to be filmed in technicolor, "Men With Wings" was produced and directed by Hollywood's outstanding expert in the fields of both color and aviation, William A. Wellman. He filmed the never-to-be forgotten "Wings" of a decade ago, as well as the recent technicolor hits, "A Star Is Born" and "Nothing Sacred." sv? a Jli5 '?uv 3 v :V J Ronald Colmans' exciting new film adventure, "If I Were King," with Prances Dee, Basil Rathbone and El len Drew featured In the large sup porting cast, will open a three-day showing Thursday at the Craterian theatre.

"There never has been a time, ac tually, when full maturity hasn't counted most importantly, and I am convinced there never will be a time when It won't be the chief reliance of all nations." There was plenty of warrant for saying at times, Miss Barrymore con tinued, that "the older the person thf- better the brain."
