“NOW WE’RE IN THE AIR.”

Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton have achieved the impossible. They have made tour comedies in a row, and each one is funnier than its predecessor. The latest nonsense opera of this inimitable pair, “Now. We’ro in the Air”’ will open on Friday at the Maoriland Theatre., Beery and Hatton exceed anything they have-ever done before for Paramount. They are shown as a couple of bopb aviators, .who become such by wandering.into a propellor testing room where six propellers are roaring at once, and having their Scotch highlander costumes blown of? them. Some one tosses them a pair of flying suits and they are‘ off. Mistaken'identity dominates the theme. It dees not end with . the comedians being mistaken for fliers, but Louise Brooks, the charming and beautiful leading woman, figures in. the mistakes. She plays twin sisters, one German and one French. Wally loves the German girl, and Ray the French; their problem of telling them apart is a tough one, and leads to no end of amazing situations.
