THEATRES
Carolina
Many of our readers will rem
ember some of the great war com
edies of the past, such as “Shoul
der Arms’’ in 1918; “Behind The
Front” in 1926; “The Cockeyed
World’ in 1929; -‘Caught In The
Draft’ in 1941, “See Here Private
Hargrove” in 1944, and now the
greatest comedy to come out of
this war. “Francis” joins the
ranks of the great Army comedies
of all, time!
'“Francis” is the hilarious South
Pacific tale of a talking Army
mule who adopted a dumb second
Looie. . . drove three generals
nuts and got mixed up with a lus
cious Mata Hari. The human cast
in support includes Donald
O’Coimor as the dumb lieutenant;
Patricia Medina, Zasu Pitts, Ray
Collins and John Meintire.
It comes to the Pinehurst thea
tre Sunday night.
At the Carolina theatre. South
ern Pines, “Pinky” with Jeanne
Crain, Ethel Barrymore and Wil
liam Lundigan, continues through
tonight, (Friday), and Saturday,
with a Saturday matinee.
Based on the MacArthur-Hecht
stage hit, “Ladies and Gentle
men,” in which Helen Hayes star
red, the screen version under the
title of “Perfect Strangers,” star
ring Ginger Rogers and Dennis
Morgan, comes to the Carolina
theatre. Southern Pines, Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday, with a
Tuesday matinee. For the devo
tees of the tender passion, there
is romance; for the advocates of
the sturdier stuff, there is a sus
penseful murder trial; and for one
and all there is comedy—bright
and subtle—which stems from
dialog and situations, and admir
ably avoids contrived devices.
Such comedy content has Ifcen
entrusted to a thoroughly capable
cast, each member of which took
full advantage of his or her por
tion of a shining script.
NIAGARA
Gene Kelly undertakes his first
straight dramatic role and brings
off the job well in an interesting
and dramatically concise attrac
tion “Black Hand,” about the
Italian criminal gangs which held
“Little Italy” by the throat along
about the turn of the century.
“Black Hand” will come to the
Carolina theatre. Southern Pines,
next Wednesday and Thursday,
with a Thursday matinee. For
those who relish good theatre,
there are a bevy of excellent per
formances, a drove of deft direc
torial touches and admirable au
thenticity in, atmosphere. And for
those who insist on pace, there is
plenty of suspense and action.
Gene Kelly is convincing as the
young Italian-American and J.
Carrol is superb in a role that re
quires depth, pathos, humor and
heroism without heroics. This fine
actor delivers in all departments.

The redoubtable Lassie comes
through with another sterling
performance in M. G. M’s en
grossing new film, “Challenge To
Lassie,” showing at the Sunrise
theatre, Thursday and Friday,
April 6-7. And holding the
line vith him are Edmund
Gwenn, Donald Crisp, and Regi
nald Owen, the trio who helped
him make an earlier Lassie pic
ture, “Hills Of Home,” one of the
screen’s engaging offerings.
“Challenge to Lassie” is taken
from! a novel by Eleanor Atkin
son, based on an event which acr
tually happened. It is the story of
a collie who became a Scottish
hero and whose unswerving de
votion to his master is permanent
ly honored by a statue still stand
ing in the heart of the city of Ed
inburgh.
The plot opens With Lassie on
trial for his life. The city statutes
of the time, 1863, rule that s dog
whose ownership cannot be prov
ed must be put to death. Fighting
for Lassie’s life is the humanita
rian innkeeper Edmund Gwenn,
who tells of the collie’s adoption
as a pup by the kindly shepherd
Donald Crisp. The shepherd has
patiently taught the dog the dif
ficult art of rounding up sheep in
the isolated Scottish highlands
and a great affection and under
standing enters between man and
collie. Later, when his master is
murdered by robbers. Lassie
breaks from his confinement and
overcomes almost insurmountable
obstacles in his fixed determina
tion to take up a vigil by his mas
ter’s grave. The stratagem by
which Gwenn and his friends con
vince the skeptical judge of Las
sie’s heroism and the stirring cli
max in which the dog is given
the key to the city make for a
motion picture which will delight
every member of the audience
from eight to eighty..
Director Richard Thorpe and
Robert Sisk, op the producing
end, have given Aheir picture the
utmost fidelity of background,
md the picturesque settings of
Edinburgh and the surrounding
?heep country are magnificently
photographed in Technicolor.
