MOVIE CHATTER
—Adele Tuttle
Uncle Remus, Brer Pox, Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, music, technicolor, and
enjoyment galore are the promises for you, if you attend the Auditorium
Theatre Monday and Tuesday, June 2 and 3. Yes, the delightfully different
Disney cartoon with real live actors in “The Song of the South” will be
shown. Against a background of the old South, the lovable Uncle Remus
tales are set. All of your favorite characters will come to life under the
famous Disney hand. Luana Patten and Bobby Driscoll are the live actors
along with James Baskett, who is a perfect Uncle Remus. (RKO)
Do you like airplanes, handsome men, two pretty girls, and a love story?
Well, “Blaze of Noon” is your picture. From the book by Ernest Gann,
this is the story of four men who risked their all—love and life—to fly the
first mails through. This picture is a story of the flying MacDonalds, who
flew the mail route in 1925. Sonny Tufts, Sterling Hayden (remember “Vir
ginia”?), William Holden, and Johnny Sands (keep your eye on him) are
the four men, and Anne Baxter is the girl who loved them On Monday and
Tuesday, May 26 and 27, you’ll also see William Bendix and Jean Wallace.
(Pajamount)
It’s a delightful story of a small-town boy who did things in a big way
for his townsfolk, only he didn’t quite realize it. It’s Jimmy Stewart in
“It’s a Wonderful Life,” and helping prove it are Donna Reed, Thomas
Mitchell, and Henry Travers (as an angel) on Monday and Tuesday, May
12 and 13. This wonderful picture will give you the Christmas spirit in
springtime. (RKO)
Have you often wondered why “Nora Prentiss” won’t talk? Then, find
out on either Thursday or Friday, May 8 or 9. This is a moving drama of
what happens when the routine life of a respectable doctor (Kent Smith) is
disturbed by falling love with a singer (Ann Sheridan). As Miss Sheridan’s
old flame in this story of heartbreak and love is Robert Alda. Bruce Bennett
is also in this I-won’t-talk picture from Warner’s.'
“Love Laughs at Andy Hardy” on Monday and ’Tuesday, May 5 and 6.
Mickey Rooney is the star. (MGM)
Other hits coming to the Auditorium Theatre in May are “Night in Para
dise” *for the last time we hope), “Mr. District Attorney,” “The Angel and
the Badman” (a John Wayne and Gail Russell western), “The Strange
Woman,” “The Mighty McGurk,” and (please don’t fait) again “The Chase.”
Take your pick. I think they all sound good.
