Human Devotion;
Sacrifice Pictured
In "Air Mail"


And the courage. skill and in
trepid flying it takes to make this
motto of the air mail fleet good
provides the thrilling theme of Uni
versal's great aviation classic, "Air
Mail" which opened an engagement
today at the R-K-O Orpheum The
atre.
There have been aviation pictures
before. but none that have presented
the story of the unsung heroes of
the government mail as "Air Mail
does. One of the most essentially
dramatic phases of flying, the air
mail provides a substantial, gripping
and romantic theme around which
has been woven very human story
of devotion to duty and sacrifice
with characters that live on the
screen.
The story concerns group OF
mail pilots stationed in an isolated
desert airport, whose job is to relay
the mail through treacherous noun
tain passes to the coast beyond.
Ralph Bellamy as the virile air
port chief is perfectly cast and car
ries off his role with the most fin
ished performance of his career. Pat
O'Brien was never more arrogantly
self-confident as the daredevi

probation of the morose veteran pilo
