Next Week At Local Theatre^ IMPERIAL PROGRAM It isn’t often that hubby’s lady friend has a chance to tweak hi : wife’s eyebrows by the roots, lei alone put her through a course of personal beauty calistenics that leaves even the onlookers passing, but Madge Evans, in “Beauty For Sale,” coming next Monday-Tues day to the Imperial, has such an opportunity, with Alice Brady as the victim. From Paducah to Park Avenu° is quite a paddle, and Madge, who portrays the lovely Letty, mani curist magnificent ,is dumped by the family canoe without a dime— and on Broadway. So it’s up to Carol (Una Merkel) the land lady’s racy and beautiful daugh ter, to get our heroine a job at Madame Sonia’s salon. Winchell would have had mater ial for half-a-dozen col-yums by listening in an hour at Madam Sonia’s, where beauty is for sale, but not at bargain prices. Letty is an apt pupil, but Cupid is dealing out heartaches right and left, and Letty is let in for her share. Otto Kruger, as Alice Brady’s bored husband, is the cause of it all, and the final untangling provides the picture with a zippy and eventful plot. Wednesday-Only the Imperiar offers an animal “thriller” picture, “Taming the Jungle.” Dick Powell and Lyle Talbot combine to bring you “College Coach” said to be one of the fin est and most entertaining films to come from Hollywood this season, and it will be shown at the Im perial next Thursday-Friday. Jack Hoxie stars in “Phonie Ex press” for the Saturday “horse opera.” World Champion Here is Miss Rose Davis, 20 year old girl from Forth Worth, Tex., who won the world's championship in the eow* girls' hronc riding contests at New York. She competed against nine ex perienced cowgirls and scored 3032 points to win by riding fifteen buck ing broncs. MRS. HAYES ENTERTAINS On Wednesday evening of last week Mrs. George Hayes enter tained her contract club. There were three tables for players, the winner of high score, Miss Ruth Transou was given a pair of hose as a prize. A salad course was served. Mrs. Charlen Hart assist ed the hostess in sei-ving.

Jarman and Miss Ruth Tran sou. PEOPLES PROGRAM Going back nearly 150 years is certainly reaching behind you for a sweetheart, but that’s what Peter Standish does, in “Berkely Square,” coming next Monday Tuesday to the Peoples. And he falls so completely in love with a London beauty of the 18th Cen ury that a 1933 model of appeal ing femininty means no more to his affections than do the cosm.c rays. A poetic, sensitive leiicw, rec ev becomes so impressed by a diary of one of his forebearers that he yearns to live In the 18th Century. He yearns so hard that before you know it, he stands in the middle of the year 1834, or thereabouts, in silk pants with lace on them. Peter finds things much chang ed. Perhaps everything is different —except a pretty girl’s kisses. There are some perfections that can’t be improved upon no mat ter how far civilization advances. Leslie Howard is most excellent in “Berkley Square,” while Heath er Angel is a winsome lass as the belle of bygone times, and the film is one of the outstanding ones of the current season. Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy, to gether for the first time as co stars, are said to provide the big gest truckload of laughs 4b roll out of Hollywood in the hilarious pic ture “Bombshell,” which plays Wednesday-Thursday of next week at the Peoples. “Bombshell” is described as a pictorial record of Hollywood laughing at itself, a story woven around the myths and rumors that have flown out of the film capital and presented in a composite of humor and laugh-provoking situ j Gerard Swope Gerard Swope, President of the General Kleetric Co., and a member of the NRA Industrial Advisory Hoard, whose proposed plan of in dustry controlling itself, has created widespread controversy which may lead to a practical plan being worked out. ations for the amusement of the movie-going public. Friday-Only, Ralph Forbes and Adrienne Ames are offered in “The Avenger,” while Tim McCoy ap pears in “Police Car 17” (a story that is not a “western”) for the Saturday-Only bill on next week’s Peoples program.
