CAROLINA
Continuing through Saturday
at the Carolina Theatre, with a
Saturday matinee at 3 p.m. is
The Big Land,” in Wamercolor,
starring Alan Ladd, Virginia
Mayo and Edyiund O’Brien.
Coming Sunday through Wed
nesday, April 14-17, is the spark
ling comedy, “Top Secret Affair,”
Starring Susan Hayward and Kdrk
Douglas. Bright as a new penny
is ‘Top Secret Affair,” a breezy
fast-paced comedy based on
characters from John P. Mar-
quand’s novel, “Melville Good
win, U. S. A.”
It’s about a semmingly incor
ruptible Army general called
“Iron Pants” and a woman pub
lisher who sets out to do a
‘smearing profile.” She feels
the general is too militaristic for
an important diplomatic assign
ment and wants a Senate invest
igation.
Susan Hayward and' Kirk
Douglas play a crackling script
and the direction by H. C. Potter
adds many laughs. When Miss
Hayward does uncover a “scan
dal” which threatens to ruin
Douglas’s career, the film pro
vides moments of powerful
drama. '
The supporting players are
most exellent, including Paul
Stewart as Miss Hayw£ird’s con
science troubled assistant; Jim
Backus as Douglas’s nervous
public relations colonel; Roland
Winters as a Congressman; and
John Cromwell, giving en
gaging performance as a three-
star general given to barracks
room philosophy.

SUNRISE
Unforgettable star of ’To Hell
and Back,” Audie Murphy returns
to the Sunrise Theatre screen on
Sunday and Monday in a frontier
adventure ideally suited to his
abilities as a soldier, a fighting
man and* an actor. The film, Co
lumbia Pictures’* “The , Guns of
Fort Petticoat,” with print by
Technicolor, is a hitherto untold
saga of the Southwest, when a
single man and a band of women
withstood savage Indian attacks
in a battle for survival.
According to Hollywood, “The
Guns of Fort Petticoat” runs the
gauntlet of danger, as Murphy
leads his desperate, besieged
handful of “soldiers in skirts.”
Actually, of course, they are pio
neer women and their children,
left defenseless in the savage
Texas territory when their men
folk march off to the Civil War.
An Army lieutenant facing
court martail for opposing his am
bitious colonel’s plan to “teach a
lesson” to the peaceful Seind
Creek Indians, Murphy deserts to
warn the isolated women they
must organize in ielf-defense
against the inevitable retaliatory
raids to come. Even though they
despise Murphy as a renegadq
and as a deserter, the women do
place themselves under his com
mand.
He trains them ruthlessly in the
tactics and military knowledge
they must have if they are to re
pulse the certain attack. His rigid
discipline creates resentments,
and the differing personalities
and conflicts among the women
to his problems. But, in time, the
women of “Fort Petticoat” are
welded into an effective fighting
force.
