Next Week At Local Theatres PEOPLES PROGRAM With “Greater Movie Season” taking form in the offering of one of the finest programs to be seen at Roanoke Rapids Theatres in months, the Peoples opens the week with Bill Boyd and Wynne Gibson in “Emergency Call” Mon day-Tuesday. George E. Stone, lately featured, Betty Furness and William Gargan are in the sup porting cast, and the picture play ed Radio City Music Hall only a few weeks ago, which is within it self a great recommendation for the picture. Wednesday-Thursday brings to the Peoples screen the great offer ing of Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter, the lovers of “Daddy Long Legs”, in their latest vehicle, “Paddy, The Next Best Thing.”— It is a story built to order for the Gaynor-Baxter team, and one that will send thousands of fans from the theatres over the country more enthusiastic than ever over j Janet Gaynor, and highly prais-1 ing the romantic portrayal given by Baxter. Janet Gaynor takes the role of “Paddy.” Her father wanted a boy, but Paddy is a curious mixture of repressed younger sister, fiery tomboy, and a magnetic and thor oughly charming Irish colleen, so her father explains she is “t'no next best thing.” I he picture opens with raaay being rescued from the water by Warner Baxter, young, rich and handsome, who has come to wed her older sister, which part is taken by Margaret Lindsay. The “major,” portrayed by Walter Con nolly, admirably, is in rather bad circumstances financially, and sees a match between his older daugh ter and Warner Baxter would be quite advantageous to him.

The arrangement does not exact ly suit Paddy, however, and she sets about to see what she can do about it. She not only can, but does plenty, and after many com plications, the story has a pleas ant ending. The role of “Paddy” is a natur al for Miss Gaynor. She is a fear less rider, a daring boatsman, and an unconscious coquette. She hates with the intensity of a fan atic and is loyalty incarnate to those she loves. She is carelessly, fascinatingly untidy at play; and bewitchingly lovely when gown ed for her first dance. Friday brings Stuart Erwin and Dorothy Wilson in “Before Dawn,” while Tom Keene stars in “Cross Fire” for the Saturday Only offering. Flower Queen IMPERIAL PROGRAM If you had a family like the “Hallams” you will be glad you left home at sixteen, or if you didn’t leave home then, you will wish you had. That is, of course, providing you had a family like them. Most people are fortunate enough not to have. in Anotner Language one sees the beautiful romance of the aris tically inclined Helen Hayes, and the up-and-coming Robert Mont gomery climax with an ocean-' . / age honeymoon. But “mother Hal lam” meets them at the dock, to catch the first glimpse of her new daughter-in-law, and there the fun begins, but it is anything but fun for Helen. One of the sisters says she bought the same bottle of perfume at Macy’s for (!9c that Helen paid $5 for in Paris. That is a very small sample of the “catty” things her in-laws are always saying to her. ENTERTAINS FOR FRIENDS T. H. Hargrove entertained a few of his friends Saturday after noon wit ha party. Many games and contests were enjoyed. Ice cream, cake and all-day suckers were served to the following: Misses Phyllis Dixon, Ida Bell Keeter, Myrtle Gums, Lucille Braswell, Fannie Carlisle, Mar jorie Keeter, Mable Teele, Lucy Wood, Sarah Brinkley of New Bern and Eloise Riddles of Hills boro, Messrs. Elmo, Thedore and Volman Ray, Robert and Corne lius Gums, Robert Lee Teele, Doug las Keeter and Elmo Dixon. Chosen as the Midsummer Flower Girl of the Horticulture exhibit at the Chicago World’s Fair, Miss Doris Burt of Chi cago, poses with her silver cup and a bur.nfc of flowers. MONDAY NIGHT CLUB Robert Montgomery gives a fine J portrayal of the mollycoddle son who cannot understand why his | wife and mother do not get along I together. Miss Hayes is outstand ing in the role of the wife who has the patience of Jobe, but also a mind of her own, and finds the weekly meetings with the “fam ily” all but unbearable. A four star performance must be chalked up t othe late Louise Closser Hale, who takes the part of “mother Hallam.” Altho a role that gets little sympathy from the audience, she plays the part to perfection. “Another Language” is one of the better pictures of the season. It is the story of the trials and tribulations of an American fam- 1 ily. All parts have been particul arly well assigned to a capable supporting cast. In the story you Mrs. Hugh Camp was hostess to the Monday bridge club this week. Attractive tallies were used to designate places for playing. The high score winners for the evening was Miss Margaret Clark. A sweet course was served at the conclusion of the game. The tables were made up as follows: Mes dames Carroll Wilson, Alfred Mar in, Julian Allsbrook, Cooper Grizzard, Frank Hawley, Paul Heydenrich, George Hayes, T. J. Alford, Alfred Thorne, Misses Margaret Clark and Ruth Transou. Mr. and Mrs. Louie Ashton, Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Hazelwood and children spent Sunday at Tusca rora. Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and Mrs. Carroll Whyte spent Thurs day in Norfolk, Va. Roanoke Rapids Theatres “THE BEST OF EVERYTHING” / We believe this week’s^ program to be the best we have yet presented. Every attraction has been care fully selected for your enjoyment. May we call your atten tion to the fact that our new fall prices include the w. L WESTERN ELECTRIC WIDE RANGE SYSTEMS may recognize “the family next door,” for it is that natural. It comes to the Imperial Monday Tuesday next week. Wednesday-Only, Kathryn Craw ford and Ray Walker are featured in “Skyways,” for the Bargain Day showing. Thursday-Fi-iday Peggy Shan non and Sidney Blackmer will be seen in “The Deluge,” while Ralph Bellamy and Arline Judge take the leading roles in “Flying Devils” for next week’s Saturday attraction. With only slight increases in ad mission, and arranged so as to take care of the “sales tax” without bothering the patrons with pennies, Roanoke Rapids Theatres enter their “Greater Movie Season.” Next week’s program at both houses are outstanding, but may be judged as a fair sample of what is to come, according to the management.
