Fugitive in the Sky (Warner Bros.) (1936)

PUBLICITY FUGITIVE IN THE GRY © Jean Muir Plans To Pop Question If She’s in Love The age-old idea that a man must propose and a woman must wait for that proposal before talking about marriage is outmoded and doesn’t fit in with our modern civilization, in the opinion of Jean Muir, who has the leading role in “Fugitive in the Sky,” the Warner Bros. picture which comes to the........ Theatre: on= -75-es “Tt ought to be changed,” she declares, “and the girl should be allowed to do the proposing if she wishes. That’s the modern way. “That,” she adds, “would do away with all of this present, nation-wide attempt to make breach of promise suits illegal. There just wouldn’t be any suits if half or more than half of the responsibility of suggesting marriage belonged to the girl in the case. “The custom dates from the dark ages anyway, when a woman was more or less a chattel and was supposed to have only half a mind of her own. I don’t mean that a woman should always do the proposing but I do think that she should have equal rights in the matter and should be allowed to ‘pop the question’ when she wishes.” The blonde Warner Bros. star is now the most proposed to player on her home lot as far as fan mail is concerned but she refuses to take these offers seriously. She is heartwhole and fancyfree, she says, at the present moment, but she intimates that when the right man and _ the proper time come along, she will have no hesitancy in suggesting marriage if the gentleman fumbles for words. Jean, however, is romantically swept off her feet by her lover in “Fugitive in the Sky,” a baffling murder mystery drama by George Bricker. Featured with Miss Muir is Warren Hull. Others in the cast are Gordon Oliver, Carlyle Moore, Jr., Howard Phillips, Winifred Shaw and Mary Treen. Nick Grinde directed.

Warren Hull Saves 89,236 Pennies Warren Hull, who plays the role of an intrepid young reporter who captures a “killer” in the Warner Bros. picture, “Fugitive in the Sky,” which comes to the Theatre on is &@ penny-saver.

It’ll work for anybody — no matter what her appearance, financial status or social background. Warren Hull thought it up. And so, in order that you may thank him properly, you must meet him. Warren Hull used to be a stage actor, playing leads in some of Broadway’s snappiest musical comedies. Then, for several years, he was a radio star. Now he’s a motion picture actor. Yet, for all that record, he’s still very young, twenty-one or so. He hesitated when I asked him for some words of wisdom, to relay to you girls who are standing on the sidelines yearning for a romance that’s taking its time in finding you, because, he said, he wasn’t old enough to talk like a father. WARREN He’s so good-looking, girls, believe it or not, that yours truly could hardly keep the old bean on what he was saying, anyway. Tall, bronzed, athletic, with wavy black hair combed slickly down, blue eyes that seem the bluer for his tan, glistening white teeth — you know — that type. And Warner Bros. who brought him to Hollywood, have already given him leads in several pictures, his present one being in “Fugitive in the Sky,” WHICUE COMPOS me COs tir sce. see WD @ AGE CMON tee x occs.c0se «2 opts “Tf I knew a girl who wasn’t satisfied with the social side of her life,” said Warren Hull, “the first thing I’d tell her would be to get into the swim. Now I know that sounds hopeless, because, of course, that’s the very thing she wants to do and doesn’t know quite how to do it. But it ought to be fairly easy. “First, learn to do things that will bring you into contact with men. Take up sports, for example. Learn to swim and play tennis. “Learn to dance well. And by that I mean very well. Take lessons. Then when a man asks you to dance (even the most desperate wallflower does get asked to dance, sooner or later) that man is going to be so pleased that he’ll spread the good news among his friends, and pretty soon Miss Wallflower won’t be lacking for partners. “Dancing, swimming and tennis,’ Warren added in passing, “are good for the figure. And that’s another angle! “Become a_ good, all-round sport, and keep the good old feminine charm. That’s a devastating combination!” His next ingredient in the popularity formula: “A wholesome girl, who also has allure is sumpin’, believe me!” Warren Hull spoke sincerely. But youw’re going to have to make sacrifices, too, if you follow this wise young man’s advice. It isn’t going to be a bed of roses. “If a girl is too gosh-darn intelligent,’ Warren grinned, as an after-thought, “she should cover it up a bit. Most men don’t like to be: married to an intellectual Actor Always Works Way Up From Bottom Warren Hull, who has the leading masculine role in the Warner Bros. picture, ‘Fugitive in the Sky,” now showing at the .Theatre, bases what suceess he has had on a bit of parental advice to start at the bottom in anything he undertook and work his way up. Hull began at the bottom of the movie game by first appearing in short subjects. Shortly after they were released he was signed to a leading man’s contract by Warner Bros. He started at the bottom literally, as well as figuratively, in his first job, the depth of a coal mine. Hull’s next job was selling vacuum cleaners, a door-to-door job. Before long he was offered a better position in the factory. But he was bent on a singing career. Hull was sure that he had a pretty good voice and so was the singing teacher who gave him his first vocal test. “But it will take a long time to learn,” said the teacher. “You’ll have to start right at the beginning and work your way up.” “Let’s go,’ answered Hull. “I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t expected that.” Two years later, when he was twenty-one, Warren was given a leading role in a Shubert production, “The Love Song.” Other parts followed in successful musieal hits. Hull had worked his way up in the singing profession. He followed suit with radio, beginning with solo work and ending with a contract as master of ceremonies on a popular network hour. This was followed by his film career. Hull plays the part of a newspaper reporter in “Fugitive in the Sky,” a thrilling mystery drama with murder committed in the clouds in which he is featured with Jean Muir. Others in the cast are Gordon Oliver, Carlyle Moore, Jr., Howard Phillips, Winifred Shaw and Mary Treen. Nick Grinde directed from the story and sereen play by George Bricker.

Many Fans Ask Jean Muir for Job in Movies Jean Muir receives more letters from screen aspirants than any other Hollywood star. These letters come from all over the world, from all sorts of people in all sorts of occupations. Every announcement of a new picture brings a new flood of letters. Many come from men and women who at some time have been in or connected with the aviation ,business. This is because Jean is an air hostess in “Figitive in the Sky,’ the Warner Bros. picture now showing at the .. Theatre. JEAN MUIR Mat No. 105— 10c¢ A few young women went so far as to tell Miss Muir that they would be better for the stellar role than she herself. They pointed out that the blonde aetress, at five-feet-seven, is too tall to be an air hostess. “Tt’s all because I’ve admitted in print that I’m interested in discovery of screen talent,” explained Miss Muir. “My establishment of an experimental theatre brought me more letters. My discovery of Fred Lawrence and Jane Bryan added hundreds of dollars to postal revenues.” There’s one sad thing about it all, according to Jean. “T just don’t know how to advise all these people,” she says. “The truth is that there is no certain way to get started in the picture business.” “Fugitive in the Sky” is a baffling murder mystery drama by George Bricker. Others in the east are Warren Hull, Gordon Oliver, Carlyle Moore, Jr., Howard Phillips, Winifred Shaw and Mary Treen. Nick Grinde directed.
