For “The Barretts of Wimple Street” is a brilliant production —-brillianUy conceived. wTitten, acted, directed and framed. Norma Shearer and Fredric March do more than present a tender, poetic love story, they actually bring the invalided Shearer Elizabeth Barrett and the poet Robert Browning to life. And as the grim uncompromising father whose diabolical influence mo tivates the drama, Chas. Laugh ton turns In a performance which compares well with his recent other successful interpre tations. If you would see a great drama, which lost nothing in the transition from footlights to celluloid see “The Barretts of Wimple Street” at the Liberty Theatre, Thursday and Friday. On Friday, afternoon Wllkes- boro high echoot boys again played gamely but failed to^ score and lost the third football game of the season 13 to nothing against a heavier team from Boone High School. ■ Wilkesboro held the visitors in check until the final mlnutee of the third quarter when Boone fooled the home team with a fake play and scored, making the extra point. On the next play the ^|>a8s was not faked but was complete, to.the chagrin of the Wilkesboro boys and the second touchdown was marked up. Except from the two rapid plays that went for touchdowns the Wilkesboro boys held Boone In check very well, considering the weight and experience of both squads. Next game for the Wilkesboro boys will be against Harmony on Wllkesboro’s field on November 2. m OON’T BE BOWNHEARTEB, Lutheran Services Lutheran services will be held Tuesday night, eight o’clock, on the second floor of the Moore’s Market building on Main street.
