Promising Pictures Feature Programs OF Local 7heaers
KING OF HORROR
 COMES TO STATE
Boris KarIOff Starred in "The Man With Nine
 Lives" Sunday

Ending tomorrow evening at the Warner Bros. State theater is the picturization of Howard Springs best-seller My Son, My Son!" with Madeleine Carroll, Brian Aherne and Louis Hayward in the leading roles. On the same show is the swing mu- Sical Mai He's Making Eyes At Me" with Tom Brown and Con- stance Moore in the leading roles.
 Eerie, exciting and terrifying are the advance reports on "The Man with Nine Lives" which comes to the State on Sunday as the head liner of the grand weekend pro- gram.
 Judged as easily the best shocker to come out of Hollywood in many months it again presents Boris Karloff, king of horror, who proves that terror can make for real en- tertainment as he superbly carries off the horors in grim and stark tale of frozen sleep" and Suspen- ded animation that is guaranteed to keep audiences rivited in their seats from start to finish.
 Roger Pryor and Jo Ann Savers are featured in the thriller as young doctor and his fiancee who have been carrying out research into cures by freezing. They hear of a strange and mysterious Doctor Kravaal who was years ahead of them and the scientific world in these experiments until he sudden ly disappeared from sight some ten years before. Investigation of the deserted island home of Dr. Kra- vaal reveals a secret underground ice-chamber and within it, the body of the mysterious scientist.
 The whirlwind climax must be seen to be appreciated for rarely has there been such sensational and sustained series of chills. Kar- loff excels even his great perform ances of tho past in a made-to-or- der role from which he extracts every ounce of thrills.
 The second big attractions brings Vivien Leigh, the senational star of Gone With The Wind" in Side walks of London" in which she shares starring honors with Charles Laughton.
 This marks the first co-starring venture for Miss Leigh and Laugh ton and when two names such as these get together on one screen the theatergoer looks for acting and thrills extraordinary and in this picture he gets them.
 The State theater's cooking school starts Tuesday April 23rd promptly at loo p. m. Many new recipes, free gifts, baskets of groc- cries and many other wonderful gifts are promised those who at tend. The school will include reg ular matinee show at no advance in prices. Remember the date, Tues day April 2?rd at 100 p. m.
 Coming to the State on Wednes- day is "'Til We Meet Again" with Merle Oberon and George Brent in the co-satrring leads. Supporting the stars is a big list of favorites which include Pat O,Brien, Geral- dine Fitzgerald and Binnie Barnes. On the same program will be "An Angel From Texas" with Eddie AL bert, Rosemary Lane, Wayne Mor- riS and Jane Wyman.

was ever happier in my life"
 Miss Lawrence, who began her American career in company with Beatrice Lillie and Jack Buchanan in "The Chariot Revue" in 1924, has gradually worked her way to star dom. She shared honors with Noel Coward in both Private Lives" and Tonight at 8:30", but stepped in the solo spotlight two seasons ago under John Golden's management in Susan and God", authored by Rachel Brothers.
 Busy as she is with her taxing role in "Skylark", the actress, nevertheless, is one of the most in- defatigable workers in behalf of humanitarian causes. Not only do American charities take up consid- erable of her time, but she is equal ly generous in her devotion to Fin land and the Allies. She is also CO., founder with Rachel Brothers of the American Theater Wing of the French and British Relief Funds, which has become veritable knit ting society of stage stars as its headquarters in Radio City.

thinkin' about his troubles an he keeps on thinkin' and worryin' until he gets so jumpy he jumps out of a window. A colored man has troubles, too, but he gets tired thinkin' about 'em an goes to sleep an when he wakes up he's forgot all about 'em.'
 So I hope this play will help people think in simpler terms about big problems that are being com- plicated by our jitters and long Winded arguments"
 Here is as much as he told me about the story: After short pro- log, the whole think is a dream se- quence-a Negro's dream of how things might be if all the people in Washington were Negroes. At a cabinet meeting, the President begins to extol the delights of a barbecue joint near the capitol. The secretary of the navy interrupts to say, "Mistuh President, we need three new battleships mighty bad" The Chief Executive says, Git 'em," and goes on talking about the spare ribs.
 When a Senator begins filibustel against an important bill, he ii handed a Mickey Finn and the mea- sure comes to a vote with little de- lay. From the Black House, where the president lives, national bingo game is conducted by radio every Thursday night. Since almost every body likes to gamble, millions of peo- pie send in dollar every week. The winner gets $1,0OOOOO and the gov ernment keeps the budget balanced with the huge profits.
 WOULD LIKE TO GET
 ROCHESTER FOR ROLE
 Cantor hopes to get Ethel Waters for the role of First Lady of the Black House. He wanted Jack Benny's Rochester for president, but can't get him. Rehearsals are SUD- posed to start about May 15, if Cantor and John B. Mymer and Paul Green can work out the final script by then.
 Roark Bradford isn't connected with the venture, but Green is the author of Tn Abraham's Bosom,", which won Pulitzer Prize.
 The other play Cantor expects to produce is called For the Rich They Sing and is rowdy satire on the ideas and activities of Communists and parlor pinks in this country. Two writers on a Cantor radio pro- grom last year, Lester White and Bud Pearson, brought it to the com edian the other evening and he bought it after one reading.

The second big hit on the program presents the Higgins family, James, Lucille and Russell Gleason in the hilarious comedy Money To Burn."

For the first time in her career, Joan Crawford is wearing her own Jewels in a picture. When Adrian could not find anything in the stores to match the gowns which the star wears in Susan and God" she volunteered the use of her own rings, bracelets and errings.

host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, goodwill toward
men
Wasn't it marvellous that Of all the
people on the earth at that time, that
these simple, humble shepherds were
the ones to get the message OF the
birth o. q Saviour? Possibly those
who would have thought themselves
more wise would not have believed
had they seen the angel and heard
the song They would have tried to
reason it away. But the shepherds
locked at one another in wonder
and said: Let us now go even unto
Bethlehem. and see this thing which
is come TO pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto us"
They Find the Holy Babe.
So they went to Bethlehem, ano
found the Babe, with His mother and
father, lying in the manager. "Ano
when they had seen Him." St. Luke
tells us, they made known abroad
the saying which was told them con-
corning this child.
All who heard the shepherds
story wondered, but Mary, the gen,
lie mother, kept all these things anc
pondered them in her heart" .
: Luke does not tell Of the three wise
men who also made the journey tc
see the Babe. and we hear no more
CT the shepherds who returned
certifying and praising God for al
| the things that they had heard anc
seen, as it was told unto them"
We need a Saviour more than ever
in these times, and we ponder the
story of His birth, and as true FOL
! lowers we must resolve that as tal
as humanity possible, we will follow
in His footsteps, because the Worlc
never will be place of peace anc
! goodwill until men accept HIS teach-
ings and grow to be like Him.
We, too, like the shepherds, mus
have faith that He can save ever
q world gone mad as this one seems
10 have done, and so join the chorus
Of elories which will fill so man!
lands at this season, in spite OF th'
times. and which we hope will o.
/ an earthly prelude Of the new, eter
nal song.

At the big party v etnesday night
when Governor Clyde R. Hoey was
presented with d magnificent silver
service by State department heads
and high ranking officials, Chief JUS
tice Walter P. Stacey gave a great
display of will power.
While all about him were MUNICH
ing roast turkey and all the appro-
pirate trimmings and attendant deli
cacies, the States highest ranking
jurist had two hard boiled eggs for
his meal.
The party already mentioned was
scheduled to begin at 7 o'clock. At
Ills the governor and most of the
guests had arrayed themselves at
tables so they all sat down and be-
gan to eat, despite the fact that
State Auditor George Ross Pou, the
presiding officer, wasn't there.
He showed up later-in time to
eat his share of the menu and to
Introduce Bob Thompson, private
secretary to the governor through
most of the administration.
Bob presented Lieutenant Cover
nor Wilkins P. Horton in the same
fashion he says he used in ushering
him into the gubernatorial office:
Boss, here's your right arm
Back to George Ross Pou. Those
who try to read something signifi-
cant into even the most casual re-
marks of public servants will likely
have a fine time chewing over the
state auditors remark that presen-
tation of the silver service to the
governor made him think he'd like to
be governor sometime.
There are those who see Mr.. Pou as
possible opponent for Senator J.
w. Bailey in 1912; but they probably
are what is popularity known as
"seein things. Assured of his pres
ent job until 1914, it's unlikely ne
will make the leap into the sena-
torial race.

ceive peanuts until midnight Of April

November. Compared with the same
week last year, production was
around 4 percent larger.
The seasons average prices were
higher than last seasons for most
grades of eastern North Carolina
flue-cured tobacco. Fair to choice
qualities were up from $500 to $500
a hundred and most nondescript
ranged from so cents to Sl.50 a
hundred. Prices were at their high
est during the sixth and seventh
weeks Of sales.
Paying prices Of live poultry held
around steady in the Raleigh area
but egg values were revised lower
when compared with week ago.
Candled and graded eggs were off
from 2 to cents per dozen and I'M
graded hennery whites l cent. U. S.
extra large white eggs closed at 80
to 81 cents a dozen; U. S. standards
large at % to 20 cents and ungraded

bushel. Cabbage netted around $l.25
1-2 bushel hamper and Porto
Rican sweet potatoes Sl.25 to $l.60
bushel basket and Sl.60 bushel
crate.
At Chicago the weeks trade on ali
species of livestock had many char
acteristics Of preholiday markets in
that most grades and classes were
influenced by spotted demand and
made almost daily price changes.

lambs was fairly dependable, and
only slightly removed from steady
levels. Steers as a whole closed
steady to Is cents higher, hogs steady
to 5 points up, while fat lambs fin
ished steady to IS cents lower than
