Of four by their combined oppon-
ents. On one trip only IA players

Brother Rat And Baby'
Will Show At Carolina

Bother Rat and a Baby, the
comedy ccess to last years
comedy success, Brother Rat, will
be the attraction at the Carolina
theatre, starting on Thursday. Writ
ten by the same authors as the de-
lightful original stage and screen
play, John Monks, Jr and Fred F.
Finklehoffe, the film continues the
adventures of a group of Virginia
Military Institute cadets after their
graduation.
In following up last seasons
comedy hit, Warner Bros. has com.
bined calendar fact with film fic.
ton by making the period between
the two stories coincide with the
time lapse between the pictures.
Brother Rat" was filmed just a
year ago. In the follow-up produc-
ton, the same players are picking
up the lives of the same movie
characters after a lapse of just II
year.
The first production. it will be re-
called, saw Wayne Morris, Eddie
Albert and Ronald Reagan safely
graduated from military college. 1t
also saw Albert and Miss Bryan
the proud p%arents~pf a newly born
baby boy, Morris and Reagan got no
further than engagements to Pris-
ella Lane and Jane Wyman.
When Brother Rat and a Baby"
picks them up once more, Morris
and Reagan are working in New
York. Miss Lane and Miss Wyman
are still in college. Albert and Miss
Bryan are living in a small south
ern town, where he is the high
baby is a bouncing, misunderstanding
youngster just past his first birth
sday.
The baby role is played by Peter
B. Good, the only member of the
cast to fudge a trifle on the calen-
dar. Peter was Il months old the
day he vas signed for the part.
The characters are all brought to-
gether, and the new story starts on
its way when Albert, Miss Bryan
and the baby are brought to New
York to see about a better job for
the head of the family as varsity
coach.
Complications Immediately ensue.
Before they even arrive in N e w
York, Commencement, t h e baby
gets them into trouble by swallow
ing a diamond ring belonging to
n of the passengers On the bus.
Jane and the baby are forced to
stay as security while Eddie goes on
to New York to try to get the mo-
ney needed to get them out of hook.
In order to get it, Eddie has to ap-
propriate some funds entrusted to
him by the people they are to visit
in New York. Finally the whole
clan are together in the big city, but
the other two couples aren't having
girls are supposed to be going on a
vacation trip to Honolulu, but they
cash in their tickets to help t h e
boys out of financial difficulties.
Baby Commencement further com
plicates matters by causing his dad
dy to lose the job he came to New
York to get, and finally by setting
fire to the apartment. B u t he
squares matters for everybody in
the surprise finish.
Ray Enright directed the film,
which is played with emphasis on
the comedy side, and advance pre-
view critics have pronounced it even
more fresh and delightful than the
earlier Brother Rat"
Besides the seven principals al
ready mentioned, the cast includes
Arthur Preacher, Moroni Olsen, Jes-
sic Busl'., Larry Williams. Berton
Churchill, Mana Bryant and several
others.

clashed bitterly today with the

The Utah member charged Mr..

The exchange had occurred while
Mr.. Toland was pressing Miss
Freezing to say just what her duties
at the Labor Board were. how she
prepared digests of evidence at

The committees attorney sought
to shed further light on the activi-
ties of Jack Davis. an attorney in

workers to say the plant was closed
to lock out the union and not for
business reasons.
Taking up the boards final deci-
sion in the American Radiator case,
Mr.. Toland asked Miss Freezing
"Was anything taken up with the
board with respect to Mr.. Davis?'
