Racing were some choice mem bers of the Pinehurst winter train ing aggregation of some 200 fine trotters and pacers heading for the Grand Circuit in a few short weeks. ■ The new mobile starting bar rier, ithe “Phantom Barrier” in vented by Octave Blake, president of the Grand Circuit, receiving its first real workout, gave quite a thrill and appeared to solve many of the traditional starting difficul ties. An apparatus mounted on a cream-colored car puit out long arms across the track, as it stop ped some distance short of the judge’s stand. The horses pd drivers drew up abreast against the barrier thus formed. As the car started and picked up speed, so did the, horses. They passed the judges’ kand at top speed, and > the “Phantom barrier” qukkly drew in its arms and cleared out from' in front.

Finer Film Fare On 1950 Sehedule, Reports Dutton After Charlotte Meet An aggressive program to in form the public of the oustsmding motion pictures coming from Hol lywood to the nation’s theatres was disclosed this week by Rob ert Dutton, manager of the Sim contribution in the many years it has been in existence. “For example, in the weeks to come, the Sunrise will show Ma laya, ChaUenge to Lassie, Mighty rise theatre, following his return joe Young, Lust for Gold, Am- - i: i onrt _ ., from a meeting of more than 200 motion picture exhibitors in Char lotte, sponsored by 20th Century- Fox. Mr. Dutton said that this pro gram is based on the calibre of the films scheduled for* 1950 which are expected to satisfy fully the needs of the public in their demands for ever finer film enter tainment. Main points of the program dis cussed at the two-day conference were: 1. Constant striving for better pictures through better subject material. 2. Getting honest information to patrons about these films in ad vance, so they can plan their amusement budget., 3. Promotion of public service methods wherein the theatre can best serve its community. In connection with the first point, Mr. Dutton reported that the year 1950 will see an upsurge in the production of unusually important motion pictures. “Never has Hollywood provided so much for such a small part of the public’s entertainment dollar. The resources of the studios are at their highest, a fact borne out by the $2,600,000,000 capital in vestment in addition to a payroll of $706,000,000. This tremendous effort backed by $65,700,000 a year for advertising filters into every community in the country, in cluding our own. Thousands of doRars of revenue in federal and state corporate taxes provided by the motion picture industry con tribute to our own local govern ment. In dollars and cents, as well as in the amount of pleasure offered fo rour citizens, this vast industry is marshalling its forces to present its most significant bush, I Was a Male War Bride, Sword in the Desert and many more. This is certainly one of the finest line-ups of films in my ten years in the motion picture busi ness. “This assemblage of outstanding motion pictures is no aecident. The producers have geared them selves to present pictures of the highest quality iii the months to come.” Another important point on the meeting’s agenda was a discussion of ways and means to provide complete information about these films in advance. “I have always been convinc ed,” Mr.'Dutton said, “that the motion picture patron gets more for his money in entertainment and inspiration than is the case in any other amusement field. I have returned from this meeting with a new feeling of excitement about the great things under way in our industry and the fine pictures in store for those who have the mo tion picture habit, and those who will acquire it once they realize the pains that have been taken to keep the screen preeminnt as pop ular entertainment. “I did not have to go to Char lotte or Hollywood or New York or anywhere else to acquire my conviction that American motion pictures have done as much, if not more, than any other agency through the years in enlightening and inspiring the public to better things. This is in the record, in wEir and peace. “I did find an enthusiasm and understanding among all branches of the film industry which should surely result in finer 'motion pic tures. The results will be seen on our theatre screens.” at Melvins LADIES' DRESSES—Crepe and Taffeta special $4.95. $5.95. $6.95 TOPPERS — Special $8.50. $9.95. $12.95 BLOUSES — Special $2.25. $2.95. $3.50 SKIRTS Special $3.50. $3.95 PRINCESS SLIPS — $1.98, $2.25. $2.95 NE'iV PIECE GOODS Bates — Picalay — Petalite ^— Broad cloth — Dan River —^ 3 to 5 yd, Dress Lengths.
