Scripps - Howard Moviemen Almost Unanimous In Monthly Vote.
“Test Pilot,” which recently finished a two-weeks engagement at Loew's, roared away from its April film com etitors to win the almost unanimous vote of Scripps-Howard movie critics as the Picture Hit of the Month. The M-G-M air epic starred the popular team of Clark Gable and Myrna Loy with Spencer Tracy, 1937 Academy Award winner. Lionel Barrymore was another featured player, and Victor Fleming directed. Following are some of the remarks accompanying the selection. William Boehnel of The New York World-Telegram says: ‘“Replete with dare-devil flying stunts

which leave you limp with suspense and excitement—studded with some of the finest and most natural dialog heard in seasons—telling a story that packs a tremendous wallop—filled with nice humor and superb drama and acted to what is known as the hilt by its entire cast— Test Pilot’ is one of the screen's great achievements.”
“Highlights Dangers”
From Columbus, William S. Cunningham of The Citizen reports: “ ‘Test Pilot’ combines the elements of a top-bracket motion picture. It has popular players who can really act. It takes the most exciting thing in modern-day civilization, aviation, and it highlights the dangerous part of that racket. Thus it combines | suspense and thrills. It has fine |
production, especially in the breath- | noted Spanish cellist.

1927, aviation has given the screen | some of its most exciting moments. |
‘Test Pilot’ shoots the blood -pressure up another notch. Besides getting some great aerial shots, Director Victor Fleming makes an actor of Clark Gable.”
“Magnificent Spectacle”
The following comment from Jimmy Briggs of The Rocky Mountain News: “I heartily nominate | ‘Test Pilot’ for the best picture class of this month or any other month. It truly is the most magnificient air spectacle ever screened, and with the addition of the three stellar players, Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy and Clark Gable respectively, is the best film I ever saw. Laurie March of The Akron Times Press says: “Because it embraces stirring, modern history in the making embodied in a film that has the best of every thing that goes into making a superior production, I cannot help but nominate ‘Test Pilot’.” The Times movie department has this to say: “Not even Mrs. O'Leary's cow and Mr. Zanuck’s colossal bonfire of ‘In Od Chicago’ could match the hair- raising air shots in ‘Test Pilot.’ Photographically, it's one of the finest air films to date. As regards performance and direction, the Gable-Loy- Tracy trio follows Victor Fleming's megaphoning to overcome a rather familiar plot and overlong exposition in a thoroughly satisfying manner. Grounded or in the air, ‘Test Pilot’ is whopping good entertainment.” Every Nite

Servel Electrolux, the gas refrigerator, is the basically different refrigerator. It operates without noise, without wear and without moving parts. And that is important to you because it means more constant
cold, less depreciation and no costly repairs.
You'll like the gas refrigerator for its many worthwhile convenience features — large storage space, adjustable shelves, built-in thermometer, vegetable freshener — but most of all, you'll like it for its Per. manent Silence, Long Life and greater savings. See the new Servel
