HIPPODROME
“NOW WE’RE IN THE AIR” Two Americans disguised as Scotch highlanders enlist as aviators at a French airport, and are sentenced to death as German spies. Only Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton could appear to advantage in such a ridiculous situation. And they do so in “Now We’re in the Air,” the Paramount comedy which is now being shown to crowded houses at the Hippodrome Theatre. Here is a comedy that has everything, good photography, good direction, capable stars, and most remarkable, a good story. The latter anomaly may be laid at the door of Monte Brice, Keene Thompson, and Tom J. Geraghty. Frank Strayer directed. It is a good thing for the Hippodrome Theatre that the laughs in this nonsense opera are so evenly spaced. Hysteria, with the possible serious consequences to the patrons, would be the result if they were not. Beery and Hatton have done the impossible and topped all their previous successes, “Behind the Front,” ’We’re in the Navy Now,” and “Firemen, Save My Child.”
