"Mutiny on the Bounty,” that epic story of men against the sea, re cently turned his moving cameras to a monumental event in the his tory of the world—the American Revolution. “The Howards of Vir ginia,” which opened yesterday at the Carolina theatre, is the splen did result, a picture which is riot 1 only a page torn out of history, but 1 a stirring, dramatic answer to the problems confronting America to- 1 day. Frank Lloyd’s “The Howards of Virginia” stars Cary Grant and ! Martha Scott in a romance literally : carved out of the rugged back ground of this mighty nation, in a blood-tingling drama of the fight for freedom and for democracy, ' the fight which is still going on. 1 Sr. Cedric Hardwicke, Alan Mar shal and Richard Carlson are oth ers in the cast of this fascinatingly real cinematic achievement, adapt ed to the screen by Sidney Buch man from Elizabeth Page’s Liter ary Guild best-seler, “The Tree of Liberty.” Cary Grant is seen as Matt How ard, buckskin-clad frontiersman who believes in freedom and de mocracy, and is prepared to sac rifice both his home and his happi ness in order to fight for them. Miss Scott is splendidly cast as his wife, a gracious, beautiful Virgina belle willing enough to fight the wilderness at the side of her hus band, unwilling to fight both her family and her heritage because her husband believes that the ma jority must and shall rule. The Duke . Tennessee football game is one of the highlights of News of the day. "WAGONS TRAIN” MARKS BIJOU THEATRE BILL Departing from the time-worn western plots, “Wagon Train” rolls across a panorama of high adven ture, the menace of Indian ambush and the fascination of trail-blazing romance. Depicting the dange eus trek of the huge covered wagon freighters across the western plains and des erts, laden with food and provisions for isolated outposts of early west ern civilization, “Wagon Train,” opening today at the Bijou theatre, stars Tim Holt, a young man of action, who literally leaps into the stirrups of his father Jack Holt, astride his wonder horse Duke. He brings the dynamic energy and vi tality of stalwart, handsorr ■> youth to western heroics supported by Ray Whitley and his Musical Buckaroos, Emmett Lynn and Mar tha O'Driscoll. Chapter 10 of “Winners of the West,” and a Buster Keaton com edy are also on this program. “HELL’S ANGELS” MARKS ROYAL THEATRE Bfr.L “Hell's Angels” that gigantic air epic which was produced a few years after the World war, opening at the Royal theatre today, is un deniably the most authentic and realistic air spectacle ever present ed on the screen. Major C. C. Mosely, formerly of the First Pur suit Group, A. E. F., and now vice president of the Curtis Flying Serv ice, is one of the many ex-war aces who has viewed the re-made saga of the air and gone on record in high praise of the authenticity of the film. "Hell s Angels” like many of the earlier World war films has been modernized and brought up-to-date giving the film more pace and much of it has been made in color. The picture was the only one un til “Gone with the Wind” that played simultaneous road show en gagements on Broadway. It opened there at the Criterion and Centra) theatres on its world premiere. In bringing the picture up-to-date whatever cutting was done was of little consequence, and - entered mainly around a few scenes in which Miss Harlow appeared but much which made t he censors blush remains and not one of the air battle sequences such as tfe meeting of welfare officers held in Raleigh Wednesday.—W. Norman Cowan, of New York city, is spend ing a few days here visiting his mother, Mrs. W. D. Cowan, who has been ill for the past few days.—Mrs. C. A. Jones, of Hallsboro, spent the day here last Friday visiting friends. —\V. W. Pearsall, of Rocky Point, was a business visitor in Burgaw Tuesday morning.—Mrs. J. M.
