AT THE PARAMOUNT Point of the which opens today at the Paramount theater, fulfills two purposes excellently. It is a splendid, warm, human vehicle for Wallace Beery. Secondly, a strong, dramatic story is played out against a new background, a background which few Americans know anything about, a background of utmost importance to the future of the United States the huge air college at Ran.lolph Field, Texas. Beery, as a grizzled old aviation sergeant, bridges the gay between the army air days of rickety or as they were playfully called, to the ultra-efficient air arm of today. He does even better than his usual job.

This extra margin of excellence is undoubtedly due to the fact that aviation is Beery's great hobby. He is the most experienced pilot in acting circles, the only actor. in fact, who holds a transport pilot's license. Great in that flying picture of the navy, Beery is even greater in Point of the The reason undoubtedly lies in the story; the great interest that, revolves around this old veteran and his somewhat swell-headed aviator son, Robert Young. Two girls, Maureen and Rosalind Russell, are mixed up in the plot melange, and both do pleasant jobs, as does Young.

Lewis Stone is a highly capable General Carter and James Gleason turns in a splendid comedy performance. It is the atmosphere of Randolph Field, however, that provides the most special kick of the picture. AT THE CAPITOL Fred MacMur- ray. Claudette Colbert's handsome leading man in Gilded Lily." makes his second appearance for Paramount in the principal featured role of 99," which comes the Capitol theater. Assisted by Sir Guy Standing, Ann Sheridan, William Frawley and Marina Schubert, MacMurray is cast as one of the gallant uniformed heroes of the famous Michigan State Police whose true story is told in "Car 99." The picture shows how this great anti-crime force is able to patrol an entire state efficiently through the use of radio control.

The system faces its greatest test when a band of desperadoes, assisted by a man who has spied on the police and has intimate knowledge of the force's workings, begin a series of defiant bank robberies. The gangsters cripple the radio communication in order to carry out a particularly daring robbery, but MacMurray. the rookie trooper, traps the gangsters and saves the life of his girl whom they have kidnapped.
