NEXT WEEK AT ROANOKE RAPIDS THEATRES_ Fred MacMurray, Madeleine Carroll »**»*»** CAFE SOCIETY Sunday, Monday, Tuesday at Peoples Madeleine Carroll and Fred Mac Murray make a spirited bid for the starring honors of the year in their first picture together, “Cafe Soci ety,” which will have its local showings Sunday-Tuesday. Shirley Boss co-stars. “Cafe Society” deals with the ro mantic experiences of a spoiled and bored young society girl who uses a newspaper reporter as the butt of a cruel joke and marries him in order to find a new thrill and get her name in the papers. How he unexpectedly turns on her, spoils her fun and finally teaches her the truth about life forms the gay plot of the film. Shirley Ross, Claude Gillingwa ter, Jessie Ralph and Allyn Joslyn play important supporting roles in a story that lampoons some of the best-known figures of New York’s “glitterbug” set. The publicity mad debutantes, the social-climbing representatives of the business world, the malicious gossip-colum nists, the brazzy party-givers and the long-suffering devotees of the older order—they are all present and come in for their share of good-natured ribbing. The inner circle of New York’s original “Cafe Society” is represented by one of its most loyal publicists, the oh-so correct Mr. Lucius Beebe, who now makes his initial screen appear ance. Shirley Ross, playing a cigarette girl, ingenue songstress and run ner-up for MacMurray’s affections, enlivens the proceedings further with a new song from the pen of Burton Lane and Frank Loesser— “Kiss Me With Your Eyes.” 5)s sf: sfc :Jc An engrossing story, brilliant dia logue, big emotional scenes—all un forgettably sympathetic—contribute to the dramatic sweep of the poignant romance of two intuitive and highly intelligent people who are able to analyze their own hearts—and brave enough to do something about it in “Love Af fair,” co-starring Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer, which will be shown Wednesday-Thursday at Peoples Theatre. Miss Dunne plays the role of a woman of the world; Boyer is seen as a Continental Casanova. Al though both are engaged to people of wealth and are without financial stability themselves, the two fall desperately in love with each other during an ocean trip. Because it is the first real love to come into their ill-spent lives, they agree to forsake their chance at luxury, Boyer to make good in six months. The valiant efforts of the two to justify their existence, their respec tive trails of sacrifice, bitter dis appointment and brave struggle, and an unforseen accident that forces one to drop from the other’s life, are events which build toward an intensely dramatic climax when Fate finally reunites them. “Oklahoma Kid,” with James Cagney in the title role, is the surging drama of an empire in creation and will be shown Fri day-Saturday at Peoples Theatre. The picture is a rousing melo drama of the open spaces laid in the days when homesteaders were erasing the last frontier in the United States. It is a semi-historic tale of the great land rush and oth er events which followed the open ing up of Oklahoma territory to settlement in 1893. Cagney is pre sented &j the renegade son of a respected family who has become noted as a bandit with just a dash of the Robin Hood spirit. Rose mary Lane is the romantic interest. Others in the cast are Hugh Soth ern, Charles Middleton, Edward Pawley, Ward Bond, Lew Harvey, John Milja1 Trevor Bardette and Arthur A; -th.
