Amusing Comedy

Hollywood has hit on another
happy romantic teaming with
Greer Carson and Laurence Olivier
perfectly cast as the spirited lover
in the perturbation of Jane Aus
tens amusing comedy, Pride and
Prejudice" which opens tomorrow
at the Carolina theatre.
Two brilliant stars, both winners
last year of Academy Award nomi-
nations, Miss Carson for her mem
orable Mrs. Chips" and Olivier
for his Heathcliffe in "Wuthering
Heights" reveal new talents for
comedy in the hilarious story OF
pride, prejudice and romance in
early nineteenth century England.
The story centers around the
Bennett family, handicapped by five
Il welded daughters. Miss Carson
makes a lovely and intelligent Eliz-
abeth, the eldest daughter. Olivier
is Darcy, a proud and wealthy
young aristocrat who visits h e
village where they live. Despite his
pride in family and distaste for the
Bennets as a group, Darcy falls in
love with Elizabeth who is preju-
diced against his arrogance from
the first.
Srious romances of the Ben
net girls are interviewer with the
love affair of Elizabeth and Darcy.
Lydia, least conventional of the
sisters, creates a scandal by run
ming off with an adventurer and
from that point on the action is
particularly fast and humorous.

STEINBECK MOVIE
TO RETURN HERE
Grapes OF Wrath Will Be
Screened At Royal On
Wednesday

John Steinbeck has found that
there's many a slip between the
cup of success and the lip.
The man who wrote the most
widely discussed novel of modern
literature had his tigers on success
several times; but he got his first
prolonged taste of success only a
relatively short time before Daryl
F. Zanuck began his production of
THE Grapes of WRATH" the Stein
beck story that touched the heart
of the nation, and which is playing
a return engagement of one day
only at the Royal Wednesday.
Steinbeck was born and reared
in Montgomery County, Californ-
ia. He wrote nine books before ne
wrote The Grapes of Wrath" Two

Silver Billed
At Bijou On Wednesday

In "Hi-Yo Silver" Republics
first Lone Ranger feature-length
picture, which opens at the Bijou
Theatre Wednesday, a peculiar sit
uation arose the very day h a t
shooting began.
Usually when a feature Western
is begun a call is made for a num-
Der of stunt men to d othe thrilling
and dangerous riding, jumping,
roping, etc. and, accordingly, a doz-
en- or so of the film colony's ace
death-defiers showed up on loca-
ton confident that at least six of
them would be hired. But they
reckoned without the cast that Re-
public had assembled.
The program also includes the
current chapter of Drums of Flu
Manchu'' and a Vitaphone Comedy
Zone For the Book.

SHIRLEY
film SCHEDULED
Saturdays Children Also
Stars John Garfield
Here Monday

No girl in Hollywood is less con-
scious Of success than is A n e
Shirley.
Having been in pictures since she
was three years old, Anne, who
is now twenty is considered one Of
the veterans of the screen. When
ever Anne finishes a picture, she
leaves behind a whole company Of
friends so it is almost safe to say
that Anne has more rooters in
Hollywood than any other star.
Her popularity is undoubtedly
due to her sincerity off the
screen. One of the reasons, Anne
has been successful for so long a
time in pictures is because of her
sincere portrayals on the screen.
This also applies to real life. Her
road to uccess was not ar easy
one. She started with small parts
and by continually working and i'm
proving she became a featured
player at the age of thirteen. When
she was sixteen, she became a star
and each of her roles has improved
in Importance.
1910 undoubtedly will prove to be
Anne's most successful year. She
was highly praised for her work
in the recent Vigil in the Night"
and in her newest film saturdays
Children" in which she is co-star-
red with John Garfield, at n e
Royal Theatre starting tomorrow,
she has what is undoubtedly her
finest role to date. In this picture,
Anne is practically every scene. 1t
is around her that the whole story
centers. When Lee Patrick, N e w
York stage star who is featured in
the picture, finished a scene with
Anne, she remarked, "It's a plea
sure to work with a trouper like
that girl, all I have to do is follow
along and without knowing it, I
find myself right in the mood of the
scene" 8

Maryland Is Scheduled
Al Carolina This Week

One of the finest combinations OF
talent ever assembled for one pic
ture makes Daryl F. Zanuck's
Technicolor production of MARY
land'' an entertainment event to
which all movoe-goers are looking
forward. The goth. Century-Fox pic
ture comes to the Carolina theatre
on Thursday.
To Henry King, director of some
of the screens greatest hits, went
the important task of megaphon-
ing maryland" Under his watch
full eye went the talents of three
leading members of the cast who
have won "Oscars." In addition,
five members of the production
staff were honored and so it is not
surprising that advance reports
have hailed the picture as being
even greater than Kentucky"
Walter Brennan, that fre-eatin',
horse-lovin' old codger, who was
"Kentucky's" Academy Award
winning star, heads the impressive
cast of Maryland" Always a fine
interpreter of character parts, he
scores even more solidly in his
newest role.
Fay BANTER, who won an "Os-
car" for her brilliant work in "Jez-
ebell," has a role which should
bring her new honors. Brenda
Joyce and John Payne, two of the
screens newest shining lights,
share the romantic honors.
Charlie Ruggles and Marjorie
Weaver are two other bright per-
sonalities in the cast. Hattie Nc
Daniel, who won an Academy
Award as the lovable Nanny of
Gone With The Wind" has a sim
liar role in ''Maryland."
Under Director King, a location
unit travelled to Worthington Val
ley in Old Maryland so scenes
could be shot against authentic
backgrounds.
The romance, color and tradi-
tons of the proud South have been.
blended into a powerful story for
the picture which scars to a sweep
ing climax as stout-hearted racing
thoroughbreds compete in Ameri-
cas- most spectacular Steeplechase,
the Maryland Hunt Cup Race.
The spectacle of flaming silks
flashing against blue sky and
green truf is one that every movie
goer will want to witness. 4

CAROLINA MOON
WILL SHOW IRE
Gene Autry Film Scheduled
At Royal Beginning
Thursday

Once more Americas leading
screen star of the wild and wooly-
west parts, Gene Autry, has turn
ed in a picture above his average.
His South of the Border" brought
him added fame and new fans;
now he is moving a step higher
with his Carolina Moon" tt e
picture is deemed as important or
more so than South of The Bor-
DER and accordingly it is to be
given its Wilmington at the Royal
Theatre with a three day engage
ment beginning next Thursday.
Autry's rise to fame reads like
a Horatio Agler novel.
Fifteen years ago, when the
grooming cowboy celebrity, was an
adventurous youngster, he a
away from home to twang his gui-
tar with a travelling medicine show.
His audiences were simple folk
from the Oklahoma hill country.
Today he has the distinction OF
having played to a single audience
of over ESQ, 900 persons. This re-
cord breaking personal appearance
took place on his visit to the British
Isles shortly before war broke out.
The gigantic crowd c~ongregated in
a Dublin square to hear him sing.
Forty-eight hours were consumed
clearing traffic out of the congested
area.
Autry has gone far since tn e
early days when he sang the pam
aceas Of a bogus medicine show
Indian. When he was eighteen
years old he went to work for a
railroad in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and
spent his spare time singing and
playing his guitar at social and
church functions.
He soon had landed a sport on a
Tulsa radio station as 1.-THE Okla
homa Yodeling Cowboy" In S X
months he was a sensation, and
was called to New York to make
recordings.
Not long after that he was signed
for the WIS Barn Dance program
out of Chicago, where he first met
Smiley Burnette and inaugurated
the warm friendship which was to
result in the pair being teamed
together on the screen. 81

about her family, and decides 10

breaks up their marriage. Ed, fur
ious at Ellie Mays deception and
believing she is tarred with the
same brush, storms away.
How Eds subsequent efforts at
reconciliation are frustrated by FL
lie Mays waspish grandmother,
the girls losing battle to support
the family after her mother dies,
and the manner in which the young
couples troubles are Strengthened
out, make for striking drama and
suspense.

Ordered By Law To
Remove Explosives

States Attorney Ellis d. Rollins
has ordered the removal of the 150,-
900 pounds of TINT stored in the
ground near Elk Mills.
Since last December, when the
INT was stored in pits on the prop
erty of w. Ray Baldwin, quarter
mile from the town limits, the nerves
of the residents Whereabouts have
been on edge.
The order to remove the ex-
plosives was directed against the
Triton Chemical Co., of Pennsgrove
N. j., to be carried out within ten
days.
Walter Connolly, superintendent,
of the chemical plant, and other Of
ficials of the company, tried to re-
assure the Elk Mills people.
There is absolutely no danger in
the explosive the way it is buried
Gin pits 36 feet long, 16 feet wide
and feet deep)," said Connolly.
"The TINT is in block form and must
be refined before it can be used. 1t
is planned to refine the explosive
and use it in the manufacture of
shells for the Government.

Tentative Route For SUPP
err HIGHWAY Chosen

In connection with the proposed
plan for to-Washington
super-highway, Governor Herbert r..
O'Conor has been informed by the
State Roads Commission that a
tentative route for new highway
between Baltimore and Washington
has been selected. The road, If built
according to present plans, will pass
for approximately twenty m ! g s
through Government-owned proper
ty, which will leave about nine miles
of right-of-way required.
If the State Park Commission
could secure a strip of land for this
nine miles, the Governor was in
formed, the entire roadway then
could be built on this park or
aforementioned land, with no
possibility of the roadway ever be-
coming lined with filling stations,
lunch stands, automobile grave yards,
or the plethora of roadside signs
such as exists along the present Bal
timore-W ashington Boulevard.
