HIPPODROME
“NOW WE’RE IN THE AIR” A new era has dawned in the lives of Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton. For the first time in their screen careers they “win the girl” in one of their pictures. Romance has always been denied these two screen stars. In all their pictures they have struggled through reel after reel of hectic adventure on behalf of some dainty heroine, only to see her lost to a handsomer and younger rival, just about 50 feet ahead of the final close-up. It is different in “Now We’re in the Air,” which is now bringing full nouses to the Hippodrome Theatre, their new Paramount comedy, produced under the direction of Frank Strayer. Of course, there is a catch to it. They both win the same girl which gives Louise Brooks a chance to play her first dual role on the screen. She is her own twin, for the purpose of the plot of “Now We’re in the Air.” One twin has been raised as a German, the other as French. Here is a comedy that has everything, good photography, good direction, capable stars and, most romark- , able, a good story.
