NEXT WEEK AT ROANOKE RAPIDS THEATRES
MARLENE DIETRICH
IN NEW FILM NEXT
WEEK AT IMPERIAL
Herbert Marshall
Appears Opposite
Marlene In Argel
Marlene Dietrich will again be
seen by her many fans Monday
Tuesday at the Imperial in her lat
est and perhaps best picture, “An
gel.”
The production is handsome and
lavish, the acting of Miss Dietrich,
Herbert Marshall and Melvyn Dou
glas all that anyone could ask, and
the work of the supporting cast
splendid.
Herbert Marshall plays the part
of an absorbed diplomat, who gives
all his time and attention to politi
cal problems to the exclusion of
his wife, Marlene Dietrich, who
resents his lack of attention to her.
She finally leaves her home to
make a quiet trip to Paris, in
search of some adventure to relieve
the drabness of her usual life. In
Paris she meets Melvyn Douglas;
the two fall in love.
They have one evening' together,
during which Miss Dietrich an
swers all of Douglas’ questions a
bout herself with the statement
that he must never know who she
is, or see her again. She leaves
him and flies back home to her
husband, who does not know that
she has left home. He is still
wrapped up in affairs of state, and
she finds it hard to fall back into
her old hum drum life while she
remembers the Paris episode.
A strange quirk of fate brings
Marshall and Douglas together and
makes them friends. Douglas visits
Marshall’s home, where he is utter
ly astounded to meet the woman
he knew in Paris only as “An
gel."
How things are worked out in
the ensuing crisis will prove to be
very interesting and should not be
missed.

“All Over Town,” with OleiOlsen
and Chic Johnson will be the Wed
nesday—Bargain Day attraction at
the Imperial.
Olsen and Johnson have a brand
of humor all their own.
While Olsen and Johnson are the
whole show, and are to be praised
highly for putting comedy on a new
high plane, there are supporting
players in the cast who deserve
special mention and are destined to
go a long way in filmdom. We re
fer to Mary Howard, who has the
makings of a top flight comedienne,
and Harry Stockwell, who plays
opposite her in the love angles of
the picture.
“Hold ’Em Navy," a combined
midshipmen and football story that
is entertainment, will be the Thurs
day-Friday attraction at the Impe
rial. The picture was made around
Annapolis with its rules, regula
tions, and traditions. Football is
pl ved up big, making it a timely
subject.
The footage is well chosen. Al
though the story is built on the
same lines as other navy yarns,
there are enough new twists in plot
development to keep things inter
esting. For one thing, there is no
villain or despicable character, the
hero does not get into it, and in.
this case, motivations are more
sensible than'in most pictures with
the same background. Too, ro
mance is made an integral part of
the story. Lew Ayres turns in an
excellent performance as a vain,
conceited midshipman, who finally
puts his school’s welfare above his
own. As his roommate, Benny Ba
ker is very likeable, gamering a lot
of laughs as a simple meek soul be
wildered by his studies and over
awed by his surroundings. John
Haward, Ayres’ rival both iij foot
fcall and in love, does capably, Mid
..
Mary Carlisle looks the part of
the sweetheart of the Annapolis
boys.
The supporting cast includes E
lizabeth Patterson, Archie Twitch
ell, Tully Marshall, Billy Daniels,
Gwen Kenyon and many others.
******
Climaxing with a beautiful and
impressive fur style show, “Sea
Racketeers” the Saturday only pic
ture at Imperial will prove again
that the public’s first choice in en
tertainment is a happy combination
of music, laughter and love.
The activities of the Coast Guard
in apprehending smugglers forms
the plot basis, and it is given a
novel twist in that the contraband
goods are fur coats of the most
luxurious variety.
Weldon Heyburn, Warren Rymer,
and Jeanne Madden are featured
and the supporting cast includes
Dorothy McNulty, Joyce Compton,
Charles Trowbridge, Ralph Sanford
and many others.
“Jungle Menace” will be added.
Bob Steel starred in "The Trust
ed Outlaw” will be the feature for
the Owl Show Saturday night. He
is supported by Lois January, Joan
Barclay, Earl Dwire, Charlie King,
Kick Cramer, Hal Price, Bud Bust
er, and Frank Ball.
