SIX Two Outstanding Coming To Tuneful, brisk, and gay, "The Big Broadcast of 1936," which opens at the Carolina Theatre Wilmington, Thursday, combines a diverting comedy plot with an impressive collection of stars, garnered from the top ranks of radio, stage and screen. Packed with rich comedy moments, handsomely produced, this highly entertaining production is headed by a cast that can be depended upon to lead the way when it comes to cutting crazy capers. Such comedians as Jack Dakie, Burns and Allen and Lyda Roberti are sure-fire stand bys for light hearted humor and laugh-provoking antics. In addition, an imposing array of famous personalities such as Bing Crosby, Amos 'n* Andy, Eth l Merman, Bill KODirison, naj. I Noble and his orchestra, Willie, I West and McGinty, Mary Boland I and Charles Ruggles contribute I specialty numbers that shouldn't I oe missed. I The story centers around the I hilarious adventures of two radio I ^entertainers when they fall into I the hands of a young Countess. J I Jack Oakie and Henry Wadsworth own and operate their own, radio station. Air fans believe! that the romantic singer, "Loch-1 invar" is one man whereas it is | Oakie who does the announcing and Wadsworth the singing. To j avert bankruptcy the boys decide to compete in an international radio contest. Burns and Allen bring their television invention, the Radio Eye, to the studio. Lyda Roberti, rich, romantic minded Countess, and her scc'al I I secretary, Wendy Barrie, meet the I boys. Miss Roberti kidnaps Oakie I and Wadsworth on her private I yacht and takes them to her CuI. ban island estate to decide which I one she wants to marry. In their frantic effort to escape, including a thrilling chase. Oakie, in calling Burns and Allen for help with the Radio Eye, unwittingly takes part in the broadcasting contest. An uproarious finale closes the fun film. As a background td the main theme, different specialties are offered as high lights of the production. Amos 'n' Andy, beloved black-face comics, are seen in a typically familiar skit. Bing Crosby warbles his "I Wished on the I Moon" number, while Ethel MerI man sings "It's The Animal In I Me" with an elaborately staged I chorus ensemble background. Bill I Robinson, world-famed negro tap I dancer, presents his sensational I dance routine, the Nicholas BroI thers, two sepian singers and I dancers are seen in "The Miss Brown to You" musical presentation, while Ray Noble and his band render other of the comedy's aong hits, while Miss Roberti does the "Double Trouble" num- j ber. Mary Boland and Charles Ruggles appear in a mirth-pro- j voking sketch. Next Week So packed with entertainment j is "Broadway Melody of 1936," I which plays Monday, Tuesday and I I Wednesday and Thursday of next! I week at the Carolina, that it at j I once registers its right to ac ^loirvi QO tho Orrnnf'PQf PVtrflVfl.iyfl.n- ' za yet to be made by Hollywood. Stars, story, music, dancing, all are present in satisfying and often thrilling form, so splendidly elaborate is the picture and so skilfully is it fashioned. For players the cast has as its top personality the gifted Jack Benny, now lending to the screen the brilliant talents that have made him a star of stage and outstanding genius of radio broadcasting. He handles a grand role perfectly, and he has the most ample and able support from noted performers like Una Merkel, who rings the bell as a -wise-cracking secretary; Robert Taylor, a grand romantic male lead, and others. Eleanor Powell wins triple honors in this picture for she is not only seen as the "world's greatest feminine tap dancer," but handles the ballerina demands finely, and in addition proves she is a fine dramatic actress. It is practically an all-star cast. Among other triumphant players in the case are Sid Silvers, "king of stooges," June Knight, Vilma And Buddy Ebsen, Nick Long, Jr., Frances Langford, Harry Stockwell, Robert Wildhack and a great many more. The spectacles are done with unprecedented charm. Among the musical highlights are five great songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed?"Broadway Rhythm," "I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin'," "On a Sunday Afternoon," "Sing Before Breakfast," and "You Are My Lucky Star." First Tenderfoot: I had a funny dream last night. I dreamed I went to heaven. Second tenderfoot: (trying to be funny): "Did you see me there?" First Underfoot: Yes. That's why I know it was a dream. Musicals Carolina Theatre * I Lespedeza Again Proves Its Value Recognized As One Of The Greatest Soil Builders Ever Tried In This State In Test In McDowell , County Lespedeza has scored one of its greatest successes as a soil builder on the farm of Charles A. 1 McCall in McDowell county. 1 I A one-year crop of lespedeza, 1 [plowed under last fall, gave the ' I biggest increase in corn yields ( I this year that has ever witnessed by E. C. Blair, extension agrono- 1 'mist at State College. In 1934, McCall sowed lespedeIza on his wheat field and allowed 1 lit to grow through the summer. 1 Both weeds and lespedeza were ' plowed under in the fall. 1 This year he planted corn on ^ the ifeld, with the rows running 1 from the lespedeza area into a 1 section where only weeds had * grown. No fertilizer or manure 1 was applied, but the corn was cultivated well. J On the two areas there was so 1 much difference in the corn that j J. Gordon Blake, county agent, measured the yields. On the area j1 where no lespedeza had grown, ; the yield was 24.8 bushels to the acre. Where lespedeza had been plowed under, the yield was 59.4 J bushels. Since both areas were cultivated alike, Blair stated that the [ increased yield of 34 bushels per acre may be attributed direct- J ly to the lespedeza. McCall's farm is in a valley at { the foot of the Blue Ridge moun-1 tains, in a region that until a j few years ago had been considered too cold for lespedeza. He has used despedeza regularly in a three-year rotation of I corn, soybeans, wheat, and lespe' deza. Others in even higher altitudes also have gotten good re-1 suits, Blair stated. Development Of Forestry Urged Forestry Program Being Expanded To Meet Demand For Forestry Information In North Carolina With the appointment of Rufus H. Page, Jr., as assistant exten-1 sion forester at State College, the j forestry program is being expan-1 j ded to meet the growing demand j I for forestry information. I R. W. Graeber, extension foresj ter, said, "We expect to set up a more complete market information service as quickly as the j data from mills and other wood- J using industries can be gathered. [ "We shall offer farmers more': help in estimating the volume i and value of their marketable j timber, and will cooperate with i farmers and saw-mill operators in adopting better methods of harvesting the trees so as to in- i sure a continuous crop of grow- ] ing timber. "Our program of forest plant-' I ing and timber thinning will be increased. We will assist with the , TVA demonstration farms in the ' 15 mountain counties of this j State where the TVA program is' i being carried on. Soil conserva' tion and erosion control will also [ come within the field of our : work." Page has had eight years experience with boy scout work, in! eluding two summers as director | of a boy scout camp, and Graej ber expressed belief that he will I be an aid in broadening the forestry program with 4-H boys and | girls. j The assistant forester, a native j of Charlotte, graduated from the j State College forestry school last J ; June. While a student, he was I i one of the outstanding campus leaders. During his senior year he was editor of "The Agriculturalists," j monthly publication of the agricultural students. He was elected to membership in Phi Kappa Phi honor society, Golden Chain, Blue Key and Alpha Zeta. SUPPLY NEWS Friends of Mrs. O. P.
