THE AIR MAIL IS MELODRAMA
 BUILT AROUND U. s. SERVICE

On the spot where pony riders of old stopped and changed their mail pounches to fresh ponies, United States flying mail carriers land to- day and find fresh machine to car ry the mail bags on.
 This contrast between the old and the new United States, with only 75 years between, is vividly brought to mind in the new Paramount picture, "The Air Mail," a story of the dan gers and temptations which beset the intrepid aviators flying from Coast to Coast with the mail.
 "The Air Mail" which open tomor- row at the Liberty theatre, was dir ected by Irwin Willat It is an ori- ginal screen story by Byron Morgan and features Warner Baxter, Billie Dove, Mary Brian and Dougulas Fair banks, Jr. The story tells of crook who gets job as pilot of U. s. mail plane planning to wait for the oppor- tune moment and make away with a big haul. only to be regenerated by the spirit of the service, the love of a beautiful girl and the friendship of an orphaned boy who idolizes him.
 There are two bands of, crooks in the picture who prey on the airmen. They won't believe that Baxter, play ing Russ Kane, has really decided to go straight but believe he is double crossing them for the girl and set out to "get" him.

Are You Well Born

the 272 days before birth in which the
infant grows the various organs are

until the body coanes into contact with
