“NANCY STEEL IS MISSING.”

The current programme, headed by “Nancy Steel is Missing,” will be finally shown tonight. “PIRATES OF THE SKIES.” Fast action played against a unique background, a novel love story and more than the ordinary quantity of thrills and suspense are the high-light features of Universal’s “Pirates of the Skies,” Which will be shown tomorrow night. Featuring Kent Taylor and Rochelle Hudson, the picture embraces the newest branch of the state law-en-forcement departments, the Air Police. Taylor is seen as a flying officer. The thrills and suspense arrive when he unwittingly stumbles on the solution of many bold and mysterious robberies which have mystified the state police. In the supporting roles are seen Lucien Littlefield in an excellent characterisation as the chief of the outlaws. Marion Martin, Stanley Andrews, Guy Usher and Regis Toomey complete the roster of players. “Little Miss Thoroughbred,” is the other feature, introduces to the movie public a new child actress for whom the studio predicts a very glowing future. The child is six-year-old Janet Chapman, who plays the title role in “Little Miss Thoroughbred,” a part that fully equals in importance those of the three adult leading players, John Litel and Ann Sheridan of “Alcatraz Island” fame, and Frank McHugh. Little Janet has the appealing task of portraying an orphan searching for a father she firmly believes exists, and the complications of the story ensue when she’ elects Litel to be her father.
