The Press Agents' Turn! It's time, to tell you what the press agents say about the pictures due Friday. The Reviewers will tell you what they think on Saturday.

Today we give you the press agents' advance reports and suggest you reach for the salt Two grains with each opinion. "Men With Wings" The man who made the most sensational airplane picture of the silent days, "Wings," produced and directed Paramount's Techni color epic of the air, "Men With Wings, which will have its first local showing Friday at the Colonial Theatre. He is William A. Well man, who, in addition to the never to be forgotten "Wings," filmed two outstanding recent successes, "A Star Is Born" and "Nothing Sacred." A flying ace himself, Wellman is thoroughly acquainted with every detail of planes and knows as well as any man in Hollywood the psychology and personality of flyers. "Men With Wings" tells a romantic story of three young pioneers of the airways who are caught in the surging current of aviation's march to triumph and whose lives are bound up with the progress of flying.

Fred MacMurray, switching from the light comedy roles which have characterized him in a dozen pictures, plays the dramatic lead, teamed with Ray Milland and Louis Campbell. "Always in Trouble" "Jane Withers thinks there isn't a jam she can't git out of," says Film Director Joseph Santley, "and, darn it, there isn't!" Jane's latest 20th Century Fox escapade, appropriately titled "Always In Trouble," opens Friday at the Victoria. The mischievous miss is ship wrecked, marooned on a desert island, and threatened by a gang of smugglers in the new comedy and how she loves it! She's a poor little rich girl who decides it's about time her family came down from their high horse, since it wasn't so long ago that their income was of churchmouse size. I Jean Rogers, Arthur Treacher, Robert Kellard, Eddie Collins, An drew Tombes, Nana Bryant and Joan Woodbury are included in the cast of the film. John Stone was associate producer.

"Five of a Kind" Jean Hersholt, who appears for the third time with the Dionne Quintuplets in the 20th Century Fox picture "Five of a Kind," at the State Friday, observes that Yvonne, Cecile, Marie, Annette and Emilie are making a better financial start on the screen than he himself did when he arrived in Hollywood 25 years ago. "The Quintuplets got more an hour for their work in this picture than I got for an entire picture when I first started, and they re worth every cent of it," Hersholt said. "When I went to work at Inceville I was paid $15.00 a week, and probably wasn't worth it." In "Five of a Kind," the Quins are revesled as real troupers and entertainers. They sing, dance, make music, and tell you all about it in a modern big town story that whirls in and out of New York's Broadway as two romantic minded reporters, played by Claire Trevor and Cesar Romero, race after the year's biggest television scoop. "Gangster's Boy" Betty Blythe, who plays an important role in Monogram's "Gangster's Boy" at the Senate Friday was.

one of the silent screen's leading stars. Now, more or less retired, she occasionally accepts a role in pictures that she particularly likes. Miss Blythe owns a five acre farm in Van Nuys, which is ap proximately ten miles from the center of Hollywood. She has sev eral dogs, chickens, turkeys and a large vegetable garden. Jackie Cooper plays the leading role in "Gangster's Boy," it being his second picture for Monogram.

Others portraying prominent roles include Robert Warwick, Louise Lorimer, Lucy Gilman, Tommy Wonder and others. William Nigh directed. Bob Stephens is still receiving accolades for his solo performance of a chapter from Leo W. Sheridan's book, "I Killed For the Law" on Friday night (WKBO) I suggest a repeat performance and, the next time, tip off the writer What's the idea of the sneak broadcast The chapter, "Laughing Yacop," should be done again. Encore.

Thanksgiving Day, November 24, will be program changing day in all the downtown houses. Hints: Colonial will have "Men With Wings;" State, Shirley Temple in "Just Around the Corner;" Loew's "The Hardys Out West." These are guesses! Can even guess the Victoria and the Gentlemen, what of November 24? "The World Is Ours" plays all the downtown houses Friday and thereafter for one week Something about the Movie Quiz, some one said. Regular fans, who do three or four a week, will probably be a little fagged out and ready to give the world to somebody else and the nether regions to the managers. Newsreel cameramen are already making arrangements for the Inaugural pictures on January. 17 The parade that day will rival Napoleon's return from Elba Try this one backwards: "I saw Elba." TOO LATE TO PARAGRAPH: Bob Sidman's trying to sign a 45 foot "Ferdinand the Bull" balloon for the Christmas parade He's playing the picture Thanksgiving Day Same manager (Senate) challenges the Norih Second street woman to be his guest for "Gangster's Boy," she being the one who "can't stand Jackie Cooper" There's a dinner in it too Best shot in Victoria's "Crime Takes a Holiday" is the drilling of two bold, bad men under the motto, "Honesty Is the Best Policy" Jack Holt is a mechanical actor In "Hard to Get," which isn't exactly easy to take, Dick Powell takes a leaf from Robert Taylor's "How to Succeed" book and gets tough The sugary sweet boys seem to be "out" in the movies these days Fans seem to like them hard boiled even if they have to boot pampered heiresses, as Powell does in "Hard to Get" Remember when James Cagney started this rather unchivalrous practice For "Angels With Dirty Faces," Jack O'Rear should ad mit free the first dozen boys with freshly scrubbed faces Might have been more romance in it if they called it "The Moon Shining Hour," eh, Mr.

REVIEWS AND By PAUL WALKER "The World Is Ours" will be on view tomorrow at the Colonial, Loew's, Rio, Senate, State, Victoria (note the alphabetical arrangement). All the Hollywood studios have cooperated in the making of this two reeler and that means that all the theatres of the United States will flash it on their screens. There's no escape! "The World Is Ours" is unusual among motion pictures in that it will have the largest distribution ever enjoyed by any film 1000 prints in 17,000 theatres.

The theme is: "Motion Pictures Are Your Best Form of Entertainment." Advance accounts indicate that it will trace the history of motion pictures with a story, woven on the currently, popular "family group" idea. In the family: Dorothy Pet erson, mamma; Samuel S. Hinds, papa; Johnny Welsh, son; Ann Shirley, daughter; Charles Grapewin, grandpappy. Sixty two stars! By this time next week avid cinemaddicts will know all about "The World Is Ours." Some of them will have seen it three or four times. Joan Crawford and Robert Young in "The Shining Hour" Lortc today.

Also starred is Margaret Sullavan, who will in probability steal the picture. 'HELLZAPOPPIN' IS CRITICS' PROBLEM But the Audience Flock to Glorified Vaudeville in Ever Increasing Numbers By MARK BARRON New York Broadway dramatic critics continue to brood over the unfathomable, seeking to explain the overflow audiences that are crowding every performance of "Hellzapoppin." This is Olsen and Johnson's mad musical revue which the reviewers denounced with almost as much fervor as they did "Abie's Irish Rose" in the early 1920's and present indications are that it will continue to plague its detractors by lingering around the Rialto for many more months. It is really a series of berserk vaudeville acts thrown together in a helter skelter manner and the actors seem to have almost as much fun playing the sketches as the audiences do in watching them. In connection with the show, and don't expect this to be anything logical, Olsen and Johnson announced recently that they had opened a gadget department and invited investors to submit any of their ideas that might be use ful in the show. Since then they have been besieged with a parade of revue ideas that are madder than a dozen "Hellzapoppins." One suggestion is for Johnson, while playing a piano, to wear a high silk hat with a metal top in which is concealed flashlight powder controlled by a hidden wire.

The plot is for Johnson to get so hot playing the piano that the hat explodes. The plot doesn't include how Johnson is to' safeguard his head from the explosion. Another zany would carry the show into the audience even more than it is now. Olsen and Johnson already have a dozen stooges planted out front including a mock ticket salesman who runs up and down the aisles trying to sell seats to rival shows. But, this new proposal is to fix the steps into the orchestra seats so that they will collapse into a slide.

A customer going to vhis seat would suddenly find himself sliding into the musicians' pit. Also, this plot isn't complete. It doesn't include safeguards against damage suits from customers who at all 3 'fQK'1 Jackie Cooper and Lucy Gilman in "Gangster's Boy" at Senate Friday. wouldn't fancy becoming impromptu tumblers. The sceneryless play, "Our Town," suggested another idea.

This would have a tabloid play without actors. Lantern slides of the characters would be flashed on the screen and moved about as if acting out their parts. An offstage voice would speak all the lines. One inventive mind reported that he had an idea that would earn Olsen and Johnson more royalties than "Hellzapoppin." He wants to flash motion picture advertisements on the ceilings above barber chairs. He says you won't need sound effects for the barbers furnish that anyway.

Olsen and Johnson already have "Hellzapoppin" overflowing with gags that are both funny and frightening. At one point they come on the darkened stage and eerily announce that bushels and bushels of spiders are about to be sent creeping over the audience. It's more frightening than Orson Welles and his men from Mars. AYRES IN CAST Lew Ayres will have the leading roln opposite Jeanette Mac Donald in her next musical film, "Remember Tomorrow," which will be Robert Z. Leonard's first as a director producer.

Ayres will be the star's first non singing leading man since "San Francisco." He will play a pianist. Ayres, now with Joan Crawford in "Ice Follies," has never appeared with Miss MacDonald before. Music for the film will be by Sigmund Romberg and Gus Kahn. Cm Fred MacMurray in "Men With Wings" at the Colonial Friday. COLONIAL "Hard to Get," Dick Powell, Olivia DeHavllIand.
