Tyrone Power Here Thursday - Friday In "Son of Fury" Portrays Role of Swash buckling Adventurer In South Seas If you want to ask Tyrone Power which role he likes best—the swash buckling adveturous type he portrays in his latest film. “Son of Furry,” the story of Benjamin Blake—or the brash, flippant characterization he did so well in “A Yank in the R.A.F.," he'd be stumped. For Ty likes portraying both types —and enjoys himself thoroughly no matter what sort of picture he is working on. That seems to be the key to this popular dark-haired, handsome star's success—he gets a huge amount of fun out of everything he does. Ty was reminiscing recently on the set of “Son of Fury,” in which he is starred and which plays at the Plym outh Theatre today and tomorrow 'Thursday and Friday). “In a way things have changed sine I first came to Hollywood five years ago. Then I had some radio and stage experience —bue I was pretty much of a green horn when it came to films. "But there hasn't been so much of a change as you might imagine. All of the boys who broke in with me— I mean, my secretary, Bill Gallagher, my stand-in, Tom Noonan, and my wardrobe man, Norman Martien are still my pals. We have a lot of fun together and the relationship between us is still the same.” In other ways there have been tre mendous changes. When Power was first placed under contract to 20th Century-Fox, he could act but he was comparatively unknown. Today his acting is not only much better but he is one of Hollywood’s top ranking stars. But despite his tremendous popularity, he is still the modest, considerate, unassuming fellow—hav ing a lot of fun out of life. More Fruit In Diet Urged For Health -<s> More fruit in the diet would mean better health for many American families. Families on low income of ten suffer from lack of vitamin ‘C’ because they do not buy enough fruit and vegetables. If more families grow their own fruit, they could af ford a better diet and better health. Fruit is one of the most pleasant ways of getting minerals and vita mins. Fruits need sunshine.

Comedy highlights include the discovery of a woman in their boarding house bathroom by the fighters, and the antics of Kibbee and Miss Gilchrist.

BAKERY NOW SHOWING AT PLYMOUTH THEATRE '| ---1 Exotically beautiful Gene Tierney offers handsome Tyrone Power a tropical paradise in “Son of Fury,” at the Plymouth Theatre Thursday and Friday of this week. A story of sweeping adventure, it features a cast that includes Frances Farmer, George Sanders and Roddy McDowall. I Larame Day, Barry Burma Road Drama Nelson Slarred in ‘A Yank on the Burma Road’ At Local Theatre Sunday Only Taking advantage of the newspaper headlines about China’s famed Bur ma Road, the trail for supplies to the Chinese armies, “A Yank on the Burma Road,” which plays Sunday only at the Plymouth Theatre, is a neat, compact action drama. Actually the Burma Road element only provides the background for an action romance story. It serves an admirable purpose, however, giving excellent atmosphere which is sharp ly realized in the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer picture. The performances are all good, particularly that of the leading man, a newcomer named Barry Nelson. Playing opposite Laraine Day in the role of a New York cab driver, Nel son gives a vigorous and punchy per formance which should guarantee his being seen in many more pictures. Miss Day does her usual excellent job in the role of a renegade flyer's wife who talks her way into a ride on Nelson's caravan in order to join her husband in Chungking, where the husband is held prisoner by the Chi nese. A Neat Climax Nelson becomes the leader of a fleet of trucks traveling the Burma Road, following his single-handed capture of two killdrs in New York. Meeting Miss Day in Rangoon, he falls hard. The thrills of their trip come thick and fast, climaxed in as neat an ending as has come from Hol lywood in a long time. Stuart Crawford, in the role of the flyer, turns in a fine job in his brief spot. Keye Luke is effective as Nel son’s right-hand man and interpre ter, and others in the cast include An Appreciation I wish to sincerely thank the people of Wash ington County who gave me their support in the Democratic Primary last Saturday. The cooper ation you gave me was splendid and I am indeed grateful. Edw. S.
