PEOPLES PROGRAM “Ann Carver’s Profession” is not what you may think it is. Ann is a poor co-ed, working her way thru school part-time at a college “beanery” which is attended also by “Lightening Bill” Graham (Gene Raymond) of football fame. Raymond and Ann Carver, por trayed by Fay Wray, are married, and leave New York as their for warding address, where they go to seek fame and fortune. Bill finds both rather slow in coming, and in the meantime, his beautiful young wife, having tak en a course, in law at school, goes to work in the law offices of a N Y. attorney. It is not long until Ann is made a member of the firm and at length becomes one of the most famous “mouth-pieces” in the city, while her husband plods along with his “T” squares in the drafting department of an archi tect’s office. Finding- himself lost in the fame and fortune that has come to his wife, Gene sings his way into a night club, where he is offered a job at $200 per week for his croon ing. Ann Carver does not want a crooner for a husband, and she says so. They have words, and all but separate, but are brought to gether again in a particularly tense and dramatic scene when Gene faces a jury for the murder of a beautiful night club hostess, of which he is as innocent as the wife of a poor architect. Ann Carver’s Profession” is a very entertaining film, and will be shown Monday-Tuesday at the Peoples. Deep into the animal infested jungles of the darkest of the dark baits in Africa., tread the famous comedians, Bert Wheeler and Rob ert Woolsey, in their latest film comedy, “So This Is Africa,” com ing next Wednesday-Thursday to the Peoples. The popular “riot-eers” come dians encounter many iron-muscl ed Tarzans, garbed in the charac teristic lion skins, which gives them plenty of “pause for thought” and the comedy is said to be one of the funniest this popular pair of comedians have yet produced. The Bible says to “turn the other cheek when a man strikes” you, but Jack Holt, star of “When Strangers Marry” evidently pre sumed that you were to use your own judgment when a woman strikes. He does, and with disas trous results to Lillian Bond, who has rented an entire night club n Paris to toss a farewell party ''or her friends. Jack Holt and his friend are asked to leave, being fold of Miss Bond’s option on the Mace for the evening. He resents his, but after meeting Miss Bond »nd playing the role of “he who rets slapped” they later fall for sach other and finally the preach er ties the knot that lays Jack liable to “take it” for the balance of his life. He and his “stranger wife” go away from civilization to finish a railroad he has started (Jack is funny that way about finishing things he starts) and if anything will show up a woman, it is the jungle, as Jack, and the fans find out. The film comes next Friday to the Peoples. Buck Jones is offei-ed in “Mc Kenna Of The Mounted” for the Saturday “horse opera.” Misses Helen Padgette and Dorothy Rice were called home from Durham Wednesday on ac Mr. and Mrs. Houstin Rice and Mr. and Mrs. “Pretty” Rice and daughter, of Richmond, Va., were called here Wednesday on account of the death of their brother, Jes sie Rice. Kelvinator Price Increase Becomes Effective June 28 Price increases will into ef fect on the entire iine of Kelvinato’ house-hold electric refrigerators Tune 28, sccroding: to word receiv ed here by J. C. Smith, local deal er. The raise in prices, it was fur ther announced, will po into effect herP as soon as the present stock of Kelvinators on hand at th° local deadership is exhausted. When the increase goes into ef fect, according: to Mr. Smith, it will mark the end of the tempor ary low price schedule which was -et on March 21 to enable Kelvina tor purchasers to enjoy the advan tages of the unusually low prices then nrevailing in the raw mater ials field. “The cost of raw materials has gone up, in line with a general up ward price trend which has affect ed nearly every line,” the local dealer said, “and Kelvinator also must raise its prices because it is against the policy of the com pany to cheapen its product and sacrifice quality to meet a low price.” Mr. Smith said that the Kelvina tor model which was priced at the lowest figure in Kelvinator his tory was a standard quality built product and not produced especi ally to meet the demands of a pricce market. “Rising material costs make it impossible to main tain the same standard of quality at the present price schedule, sc our prices must be raised as soon as we have sold the stock we now have on hand purchased at the old figures,” he said. Misses Lucy Beard, Josephine and Elsie Rook spent the week-end with Mrs. Roberta Rook of Garys burg. IMPERIAL PROGRAM Imperial patrons will be treat ed to a new and novel plot in “Past Workers,” starring John Gilbert and offering Robert. Arm strong and Mae Clarke in support which comes to the Uptown house next Monday-Tuesday. Gilbert and Armstrong, in ad dition to being “fast workers” are also structural steel workers, who buddy around a bit after the days rivet busting. In fact, “Gunner” and “Bucker” are very good pals. So much so, that they decide if they ever fall in love, they will let the other fist have a chance with the girl-friend to see if she is true. Along comes Mae Clarke in the role of “Mary,” for whom both of them fall. The plot dives into some exceedingly delicate situa tions, all of which are very uni quely solved under the capable di rection of Tod Browning. In line with their policy of “bringing back the big mes” foi bargain day, the Imperial offers “The Phantom Broadcast” for next Wednesday-only. This is the pic ture that was so widely heralded over radio a few months ago, and is a mystery thriller that has played Roanoke Rapids before. Ralph Foi’bes and Vivienne Os borne are in the cast. A woman cannot testify against her husband, and around this theme is built the uniqus plot of “The Nuisance,’’ which comes to the Imperial next Thursday-Fri day, with Lee Tracy at his sup ercilious, wise-cracking best as a shyster lawyer, and Madge Evans the heart interest. Lee Tracy has made a lot of money chasing ambulances and following up street car accidents. In fact, with the aid of a M. D. who has no scruples along such lines, it is not hard for Lee to make an accident out of a “mole hill.” The street car company decides to put. an end to his corrupt prac tices and sends out Madge Evans to get the goods on him. She does alright, but in the end decides she would rather have Lee for a hus band than testify for all the street car companies in the world. “The Nuisance” is a very entertaining flicker, particularly if you like Tracy ... if you don’t, well, there’s always Madge Evans to look at, and the supporting cast, compos ed of Frank Morgan, Charles But terworth and others is very ably selected. Saturday of next week brings a real novelty action picture to the Imperial. Bob Steele has the lead ing role in “The Gallant Fool,” a story combining the romance and glamour of circus life with the thrills of the western cattle coun try, and it is a picture pleasingly different- from the average run of Saturday “westerns.” I Misses Elizabeth Anne and Vir ginia Braswell have returned to their home in Rich Square after visiting their grandmother, Mrs. Ida Rook. Singing Class Of Falcon Orphanage Presents Program The singing class of the Falcon Orphanage will present a program Sunday morning at the Penecostal Holiness Church in Roanoke Rap ids, June 25th, at 11 o’clock.
