With every promise ol becoming one of the best films oi the year, the film opening today ct the Loew Poll Theater tells the story of Democracy's flying avenger how they win their wings and soffie- times lose their hearts in tho pro- cess,
 Gene Tlerney, one of Hollywood'i most enchanting young stars, car" ries top billing, while Preston Foster and John sutton head large and imposing featured cast. But here's an additional cure for moviegoera who like action that's hot and heavy much of the action was filmed on location at. the Arizona famed Thunderblrd and Falcon field, with cadets from Il United Nations par. ticlpatlng.
 The plot, mounted on e back ground of roaring action in the sky, concerns the efforts of Foster, e flying instructor, to sprout wings on the burly shoulders of Sutton, who appears as an English Cadet Together they work toward the goal on the field. But after hours they are bitter rivals for the affections of Miss Tierney, a young lady live ing at 0 ranch not far from the training grounds,
 The film was directed by William A. Wellman, noted director of ad- venture pictures, whose "Wings' still is considered the classis drama of the sky. The impressive cast in- cludes such favorites as Jack Holt Dame May Whitty, George Barber Richard Haydn and Reginald Denny Lamar Trotti, who wrote the screen play, also produced the film.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "The Spirit of Stan. ford" a refreshing film featuring Frankie Albert at the head of ar all.Star cast.

pOunu tO repeat lot'
 The author Is one Ketti Frings, said ko be a rising young woman about Hollywood who got the Idea that this play from a short story by Robert Ayre. What will mean considerably more at the box office is the fact that the leading play CTS are Lillian oish and Stuart Er- win, the latter being that truly funny cinema actor who here Is making his Broadway debut, l wish that all of the Hollywood stars who trek to Broadway could be able and as ingratiating as is Erwin. Miss Gish, of course, we know of old. She Is good, so why say morep
 This little fable which Miss Frings has run up has for its theme the sordidness of the world and man. Her chief protagonlst Is John Gwilt, a mailman for 20 years in the town of Smeed. Foot sore, fed up with the impositions placed on him by the people on his route, and steeped in works of philosophy and mythology, owilt makes a sudden decision to be rid of the worlds troubles by willing himself to become what he regards as the noblest creation of God tree,
 Sure of Decision
 Despite the fact that he has a wife he loves, Gwilt never doubts that his decision Is right once he has made it and he proceeds to carry it out despite the fearful protests of his wife, the threats of a minis;e, who contends 1t is blas- phemy to think of tree-creation Tn terms other than those immortal- ized by Joyce Kilmer, and the ridicule of his neighbors. He digs a hole in his backyard, takes of his shoes and sox and plants him- self at nlghtfall. Next morning he has a cold in the head but he is determined to go ahead until his wife packs up and leaves. This act causes him to come out of his hole and prepare to go after her, but while he is putting on his sox his eyes light on the tniquities re- ported in the latest newspaper and he scampers back to plant himself all over again.
 Well, the wife comes back, Of course, to fend of the jibes of the curious and tell him she believes in what he Is doing after all. Be- cause he fears that success Of his scheme will leave his wife 8 prey to the attentions of a long-ago disappointed suitor Gwilt Is on the verge of giving up again only to find that overnight he has taken root. Quickly hardy trunk grows up to his waist, leaves begin to bud. In no time at all Gwilt becomes a full fiedged towering sycamore. Of course, the outside world won't believe it, but the once skeptical town does, ar: what does 8 tree care about the thoughts of people anyway?
 Lacks Emotional Pull
 Miss Frings has written simply. as such a story demands, and my chief complaint is that she has written too much. There is one important thing. too, that I believe this play lacks-it doesn't tug at the emotions. which Is an essen- tial to a really successful play of this type. Anyone familiar with "On Borrowed Time" will remem- Der how 1t lifted you right up and tossed you around.
 The piece Is skilfully played by the whole cast, although there is not much distinction in most of the characters. Next to the two leads, the outstanding roles are

Give An actor or an actress big con- tract, and wha do you have7 A movie starp Certainly notl For 1t takes more than producers sig nature, a publicity build-up and a gocs screen story to make Q star.
 V at is really takes is the public. These little people who form big lines around the corner and who come back tine and again when certain actors and actresses are on the screen. They're the final iudees of who rates stardom.
 There were a couple Of corners got many years ago who were on the verge of losing their options One was Clark Gable; the other, Clau6ette Colbert. Both had rec fused roles in Tt Happened one Night" at Columbia, but their re- spect've studios insisted. Nobody Eas very excited about the comedy nobody, that Is. except few mil- Hon theatergoers who decided 1t was inst about the funniest picture tneyu seen in years, They de- Fnanded more of Gable and a similar amount of Colbert. Simply berause the public judged them as top-rlotcll comedians. these two got load or stardust in their eyes.

 Until they were cast in Comedy coles in a new Columbia picture, "A Nieht to Remember" no one in Hollywood thought much about their abilities to make peo. ole laugh. But by the time the picture made the round of pre- yievs, the studio knew 1t had Q new comedy team. ,

 AND so IT WENT
 When the pubic went to see Les- lie Howard in ''The Petrified For est" they came out of theaters rav- ng about Humphrey Bogart. When khey went to see the Lane sisters in -Four Daughters" they went away shouting about John Garfield. When Ehey saw the first of the Andy Hardy pictures, they asked for more and the little lad who played the ntle role. Mickey Rooney. was re- yarded with stardom.
 That's the way it goes. Give the publi: something 1t likes in the way f entertainment. whether it be a story. e personality or team, and he public will show its apprecia. Non by buying tickets.
 It's just a matter of dollars and SenSe.
