issued by the bureau in July says:
In general, in the area best adapt

enough migration away from farms
in the last decade to have brought
about a reduction in farm popula-

NOVEL
'COMRADE X OPENS
AT BAILEY HOUSE TODAY

With Clark Gable cast in an
other adventuring action role as
an American newspaperman in
Russia, and Hedy Lamar playing
her first slam-bang comedy part as
a Moscow lady street car motor
man." "Comrade X" opens today
at the Bailey theatre for an en-
gagement of three days.
Every scene, every situation and
every line of dialogue is played for
hilarious laughs. Cables reporter,
like most movie newspapermen,
appears on the surface to be a
dope, but really isn't. The Krem-
lin is hot under the collar because
some unknown correspondent is
sending out items about revolts
and famines. This is not consider
ed cricket by the Ogpu. If the
culprit can be found, he suddenly
will be taken off with pneumonia.
Gable is not a suspect, being a
genial tippler whose dispatches
are the c~ensor's joy, for they say
absolutely nothing. Then he meets
Miss Lamar, a Russian girl with
flaming ideals. This complexities
both their lives. In the end, they
find themselves in the Kremlin
dungeon, followed by a riotous
escape in a Russian Army tank.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-12-25

The big surprise of the film is
Miss Lamar, who changes type
radically to run the gamut of
comedienne assignments. She has
a chair : throwing, rough : and
tumble fight with Gable, one with
another girl, operates a street car
and drives a tank over hill and
dale. When she joins Gable in his
daredevil feats there is never an
idle moment.
Oscar Homolka, internationally
famous actor, heads the supporting
cast in the role of the head of the
secret police, with other outstand-
ing parts played by Felix Bressart,
who recently scored in Escape"

the heroine of the Marx Brothers.

OF SUEZ" OPENS
AT CAROLINA THEATRE

An exciting film of adventure
in a South African diamond mine
makes its local debut today when
Warner Bros South of Suez"
opens at the Carolina theatre.
Murder, theft and jealousy make
up the background of this tropical
tale.
George Brent is starred In the
role of an adventurous mine fore
man who can take ruthless greed,
unrestrained love and merciless
jungle heat in his stride. Brenda
Marshall plays the part Of a mine
owners daughter who sets out to
prove that Brent is innocent of her
fathers murder. George Tobias,
whose screen career has been the
most varied in Hollywood, comes
along with still another different
Characterization. This. time he is
cast a. a blood-thirsty, greed-rid-
den mine owner who is sur that
Brent stands between his happi-
ness with his wife. Lee Patrick
plays the part of the wife who
marries Tobias for his money and
then spends the rest of her days
regretting it. She is madly in love
with Brent and proves the truth
of the old adage, that there is mo
fury like a woman scorned'' when
he disregards her affections.
Brent and a mine owner played
by Miles Mander discover the very
valuable diamond called the "Star
of Africa" Tobias learns of it and
one night attempts to rob Smy+he
of the Diamond but finds it mis-
sing. During the struggle he kills
Mander, and thinking that no one
knows of it, plans to frame the
murder on Brent. But his wife wit
messed the. killing and unexpected
ly double crosses him at the last
minute.
Director Lewis Seller paced the
film in a manner that is in key
with its exciting theme. All tn
cruelty and intrigue that n would
find in a South African locale is
brought to the front in South of
