CRAWFORD
IN RAIN
Joan Crawford in “Rain,” comes
to the Peoples Theatre Monday and
Tuesday. The story, as you prob
ably know, concerns itself with a
girl of nondescript reputation who
with several other passengers on
a South Sea schooner, is maroon
ed on the small island of Pago
Pago, when cholera breaks out
among the crew. As the title im
plies, rain provides the real back
ground of the story. Rain, relent
less rain—falling for days on end
until the marooned company is
driven near to insanity.
Wednesday and Thursday brings
“He Learned About Women,” the
new comedy featuring Stuart Er
win, Alison Skipworth and Susan
Fleming. The flim tells a farcial
story of a bookish young man who
is frankly bewildered when he falls
heir to fifty million dollars. On
the strength of his inheritance he
starts out to find out about life and
on his first days adventuring picks
up two excellent teachers—an ex
actress and a young stenographer.
“Rackety Rax,” which comes to
the Peoples screen Friday only,
brings reports of being the fun
niest of all the football comedies.
Victor McLaughlen has the role of
a sports racketeer who leads his
stable of boxers and wrestlers in
to college football. Greta Nissen
appears in the leading feminine
role. The film is said to be replete
with music of the dancing variety.
Saturday brings Bob Steele in
“Young Blood.”
Miss “Blondy” Lewis has return
ed from a visit to relatives and
friends in Warrenton and Norlina.
Miss Traynam Wyche and Dave
Clark attended the Va—Carolina
game at Charlottsvile, Va., Thanks
