AIR DRAMA STARS
 COLORFUL CACNEY
New, Leading Lady, June Travis, Makes Debut
 in State Picture

ceiling Zero" called the great est drama of the air since "Hell's Angels" begins four day en- gagement at Warner Brothers State theater today.
 It stars James Cagney and Pat OBrien, introduces Q charm ing new leading lady in June Travis and offers an exception- ally large all-star cast in support.
 The picture is based on the sue. cessful Broadway stage play by Lieut.. Comdr. Frank Wead, but 1t far outstrips the fo0tlight production. On the stage the scenes were necessarily limited, and many of the thrilling situa- tions involved were left to the imagination.
 The screen play, which was also written by Comd. Wead, Is able to picture many of these thrills with planes in actual flight. groping about in fogs 50 dense there was no visibility whatever There is every sort of 8 thrill in the picture, as well as plenty of laughs and romance.
 In Q picture dealing with the commercial mail and passenger service of the air, the plot is es- sentially dynamic drama, but in the every day events in the lives of the flyers and groundmen, there is plenty of humor. No one could keep the Irresponsible Cagney nor O'Brien from injecting laughs in such situations.
 Cagney, O,Brien and Stuart Err win have the roles of three fly- ing war buddies who have turned to commercial aviation. Cagney Is the devil-inay-care, stunting. irresponsible member of the trio, with O,Brien as the stperintend- ent of the flyers and Erwin as Q somewhat steadier pilot than Gag ney.
 Jimmy manages to mix his quaint humor with thrilling ac- ton in Q way that either keeps one laughing or holding the breath.
 Pat O,Brien is excellent as the somewhat more sober air superin~ | tendent, but he lends no inconsid- erable humor to the comedy situa- tions. June Travis does @ con- mendsble piece of work as tho pretty air hostess, who is engaged to one pilot and as fascinated by another.
 Manager Julia M. Smith has arranged c big surrounding pro- gram of short subjects to ac. company the feature presentation. Wednesday brings Bank Mite" and again this week the Strand will cooperate in presenting 1t. The same State show will be shown at the Strand. Don't miss it this week for anythingl
 The screen show wil be head. lined by "The In1ormer," one of the 10 best pictures of 1e36 which has been brought back at the re- quest of innumeyable State patrons. The added attraction will be "flitch- Hike Lady" with Alison Skipworth, Mae Clark and Arthur Preacher.
