“The Sea God" Here Next Week Drama to the depths—action and adventure to the crested tips of the topmost palm, is offered Wednes day and Thursday at the Peoples Theatre in “The Sea God,” Para mount talking romance dealing with the experiences which befall a bronzed young se adog. a primitive tempered maid of the South Stas, and a brutal trader ,on about, over and in the waters surrounding a cannibal isle. Richard Arlen and Fay Wray, the “Border Legion” lovers, are the prin cipal wayfarers. Eugene Pallette, a sergeant of sleuths and cowhand of parts goes “salt” as Arlen’s first mate firstcass, Robert Glecker is the “men ace”; and other subordinate portray als are given by Ivan Simpson, Bob Perry, Maurice Black and Fred Wal lace. Novelty of viewpoint, or should we gay “ear-point” is a bizarre touch of •his pi- dilution directed by th* a .-ld ious arid alert ' tv brge Abbot, wh “Manslaughter’ attained wides;n\ h favor, whi|p sgrv.ng Claudette C-U; belt with new steps to fame’s very pinnacle. Far from prosaic is Ab bot’s melv.od of showing the savages attacking ship. The audience is tak I en below the surface of a sunlit crys tal sea, and shown the action as Ar I leen sees it .looking up from the ocean foor. The m> .-tenons hum of sub seas, the gurgles of air lines anti im plements, the pebbly wash of diving j armor propelled about, is captured by a new camera-microphone devel oped by Paramount, said to be capable of operation at great depths without the protection of a diving bell. Events bizarre as an untapped world are unfolded as the youthful adventurer outwits pagan tribes, beats back a rival, captures the heart of a girl and sails away with love and fortune, all the spoils of a victories > spirit.

OTHER ENJOYMENTS jLcn Chaney la First and Last Talking Film -—§4 .» Ffaving waited until a period of extensive experimenting had proved that he could do as strange anti un usual things with the microphone as he had done in the past with the j make-up box, Lon Chaney will make His all-talking picture debut Mondax and Tuesday at the Peoples theatre in “The Unholy Three,” talking version <n his silent success of some years ago. directed by Jack Conway and x\;th a supporting cast which in cludes Lila Lee, Elliott Nugent. Har ry Earles, John Miljan, Ivan Linow, Clarence Burton and Crauford Kent. Whereas in the past, people have been hard put to tell which of the many ‘“faces” Chaney used on the screen came nearest to his actual physiognomy, they will now be equal ly baffled in determing which of the five voices he uses in ’‘The Unholy Three,” aprroaches his normal voice. In presenting this unusual aspect of voice manipulation, however, the star by no means deserts his flair for disguises, appearing in “The Unholy Three’ first as a ventriloquist and subsequently as an old woman. As a final indication of the comprehen sive manner in which Chaney is en tering upon his talkie career comes the report that he will also sing, the feat occurring in the ventriloquist sequences in which he makes the dum my warble “Sweet Rosie O'Grady.” The story of “Thj Unholy Three” concerns the nefarious activities of eftrea circus s?do sknv performers, ventriloquist, giant and midget who finding th:.t pickpocketing does not bring them sufficient gain, hit upor an ingenious method of robbing home' "'hich involves the vcntriloquht’s im personating himself the o'Y/ii?!' of a pet shop. According to Sol Clark, studio pur chasing agent, advance worries anent getting a sufficient variety of animals for the pet-shop scenes proved friut less, a search of bird and pet stores in Southern California disclosing that this state contains the most diversi fied stock of animals in the country. “Possibly its because of the hun dreds of easterners living here almost all of whom want unique pets,” ex plained Clark, “but the fact remains that one can find birds and animals here which have never been heard of before. For instance we found a ‘Goodi Fat’ which is a spotted rat the size of a dog which comes from Africa; monkeys ranging from a huge orang-outang to the tinijst South American tree monkeys; parrots no bigger than sparrows; parakeets; cockatoos; a tame pig. a trained lamb hundreds of varieties of cats and a leopard cub—all in the rgeular stock of a single pet shop.” Wreck Victims Award (Continued from page one) '•v.'on extricated from his horrible po ‘‘’-•on beneath the train.

All these tacts were bruoght out by the testimony < f the plaintiffs in the ase. The defendants tried to prove that the proper signals were given and their expert witnesses engineers and superintendents, testified that the train was stopped as soon as possible. The plaintiffs argued that the train could have stopped in less than the fifteen seconds the truck was on tne tracks as it could be seen for more than a half mile. They produced an expert witness of their own, a Virgin ian Railroad engineer .who testified he had stopped his train twice under Richard Arlen and Fay Wray in "The Sea God”, a Paramount Picture similar circumstances in much short er time without injury to passengers or equipment. The attorneys for the railroad com rany noted an appeal to the Supreme Court. Their final action is not known at this time. Only twice in previous court history have larger verdicts been rendered in a damage suit. The largest was for $45,000, and the oth ler for $35,000. TWIN CITY HAPPENINGS .-.

And that boy knows more about peanuts than old Thom or old man Planter or whoever started this peanut racket. He not only can tell you about them; he grows them in big [Quantities, acres of them, and he has the best peanuts in the county. And he can tell you to the fraction of a cent what it cost him and how much net profit he made. We just take him as an example. Jesse Lyles is another chap who will solve this farm pr&blem better than Mr. Legge. He makes a specialty of lung staple cotton. I don’t mean he reads a lot about it and talks about what he reads. He plants it, after se lecting his seed most carefully, and he knows exactly how to fertilize it, and whats more he knows how to get the best price for it after it is gin ned. Perkins Crawley and Henry Cook are growing their special crops and they will tell you that the only way the farmer can get a proper price for it is to cooperate. THIS SPACE RESERY' O FOR Fermo Remedy Co. ATTICA, NEW YOKE Fermo Remedy Company’s Products are handled ex clusively in Roanoke Rapids By Taylor-Matthews Drug Co. Say, when you mention the word, cooperate, $o tliosc Aurelian Spring* boys, it’s like fitting a match to a' string of firocrwikers. It is not just a word to them. It is the future of farming. They admit the farmer is a hard man to get to cooperate to the limit. They admit he is an individualist by nature, breeding, environment and ne cessity. But they are sold on the idee, of 100 per cent and they are being trained to submerge their personality when it comes to group buying and selling. That’s why we predict the suc cess of the farmer with the coming generation They tell us that by cooperating in both buying and selling, the farmer will sav emoney. One organization, they say, can buy in wholesale quan tities and sell, likewise, much cheao er than the individual farmer. They tell us the cooperative plan means the farm organization can have bet ter control of the markets and the selling prices. They say that the fu ture farmer will not glut bis fields with a product which faces a surplus. Then these young fanners tell us they have learned beyond the shadow of a doubt that “money” crops arc just a part of a vast scheme of unlim ited opportunities. One of the Lyle boys tells us his father now has 150 improved chickens—since the begin ning of the Vocational Agricultural Class—and those hens are showing n profit of $2.68 net per year—more than he will make this year on 75 acres of cotton. Those Aurelian Springs boys have gone over in Virginia and brought back a truck load of pure bred hog.<. The community didn’t know what a pure bred hog was before. And now they are asking for pure bred dairy cows. And best of all, the boys say their fathers like it and are backing them in it; that their fathers realize the boys are having opportunity to learn which they did not have; of course, there are arguments—but they are sensible, business like arguments, and we have a sneaking idea the boy usu ally wins out; we believe those fath ers realize, like we do now, that the future holds much brighter propects for their boys—and after all, that is about .the.best an old generation can leave tJ#- those who must afoilo^aftejf.
