At an expense of $1,500.00, a new Weber Concert Grand is be ing brought to Roanoke Rapids for the stage presentations at the Pee ples. Its beautful tone, as well as its added value in “dressing-up” the stage, will lend a distinctive air to the stage shows, and its installa ion is considered a decided forward step on the part of the manage ment. Many musicians of note have ap peared on vaudeville bills at the Peeples since the inception of stage shows, and many more are to ccme.

To the Editor: During a visit the past week to the Aurelian Spiings High School, Halifax coun ty, I saw such superior teaching and such a splendid school spirit manifested, that I wish to bear testimony to my impressions of this schod The principal, V. C. Matthews, conducted me through the various class rooms and in vited me to witness a class in ad vanced United States History. The subject of discussion was Chief lustice John Marshall, and the in telligent way the discussion was conducted, and the keen interest >f th.? young people in the subject revealed wonderful technique on the part of the teacher. The classes wore too large, num bering about fifty pupi’s, but in spite of such a teacher-load, the teachers were making- a brave fight to do effective work. The floors of all the rooms were free of litter or trash of any kind. 1 saw not the slightest spirit of disorder, but the entire school was busy and all 'were seemingly en joying their work. In this school, industry, courtesy, and character building are emphasized. The good being accomplished by such schools as this cannot be measured in dollars and cents. I have never seen a finer school spirit than here manifested. The public school teachers of North Carolina should bear this in mind: There are many thou sands of mothers and fathers who are grateful to you for your un selfish devotion to their boys and girls, these fathers and mothers and friends of education know that you earn every cent you receive. PRANK M. HARPER, Raleigh, N. C. PEOPLES ALL WHITE PERFORMERS JOHN R VAN L PRE-WAR k PRICES I ■■ i EVERYTHING NEW 1 THIS YEAR WATCH FOR THE BIG STREET PARADE Next Week’s Screen Attractions At Peoples Theatre In the new, United Artists pro duction, “Cynara,” Ronald Colman again comes to the screen, this time with two charming leading ladies, Kay Frances and Phyllis Barry, fresh, young and new to the screen. Miss France is said to give one of the most brilliant performances of her glamorous career, while the celebrated Eng lish male star, Colman is most certainly “up to par.” What more could be said? Phyllis Barry is the “it” girl, and furnishes plenty of it in her seductions of a sedate young married man, portrayed by Colman. “Cynara” has a happy ending, considering, and the pro duction is the Monday and Tu-se day offering at the Peoples. For Wednesday’s screen attrac tion at the Peopies, Mae West makes her bow as a screen star in a story written by herself, “She Done Him Wrong.” Popular for years on the stage, well-known as a dramatist, she proves again the range of her talent in her first big film role. The darling of Broadway portrays the character of a Bowery belle, with devastat ing results for the men she meets including Cary Grant and Noah Beery. Miriam Jordan, one of the most successful of the new motion pic ture stars, contributes what is said to be her third fine performance as the feminine lead of “Danger ously Yours,” new romantic com edy coming to the Peoples Thurs day and Friday of next week. She has the leading role opposite War ner Baxter. Laurel and Hardy in “Their First Mistake” completes the screen offerings for the Thurs day-Friday bill. Mrs. B.
