...painted in black & orange in 12-ft. letters on the roofs of prominent barns, factories, warehouses, water tanks. Known as "air markers," they are normally visible from 4.000 ft., serve three purposes: 1) to identify the locale; 2) to give the north bearing; 3) to indicate, by a circle, arrow and numeral, the distance and direction of the nearest airport. By last week 58% of the U. S. was air-marked every 15 miles in every direction. Within a few months the entire nation will be thus tagged with a total of 16,000 air markers, almost none of which...
...Wells' contribution to filmlandia, "Things to Come" has passed out of the first run stage, but it is a sufficiently interesting film to justify a short excursion into the provinces. It is to be found in town at the Uptown Theatre, along with Bette Davis in "The Golden Arrow," which is old Michael Arlen stuff and not worthy of Miss Davis' manifold charms and talents...
That Parthian arrow was as cruel as it was inaccurate. Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, is "old" to be sure, 63 fateful years in all. But it has never been "shabby."

This year, with an expenditure of over $200,000 the entire Churchill Downs plant has been transformed until...

But that opening shot is the only excuse for the name, "The Golden Arrow," of Bette Davis' latest. Or else we're too obtuse...
...Golden Arrow (Warner) is a minor comedy based upon the theory that a pressagent for a cosmetic company could make headlines by: 1) establishing a cafeteria cashier as a cold cream heiress; 2) grooming her to marry a European title; 3) publicizing her $30-a-week newshawk husband as ''the American Cinderella Man." This is Bette Davis' first film since she won an Academy award for acting in Dangerous (TIME, March 16)- a fact of which Warner Brothers made much use in their advertising. Although Miss Davis still can make her eyes pop and her lips droop...
