BOOK REVIEW HEARD BY WOMEN; FINANCES FOR YEAR DISCUSSED Tlie Roanoke Rapids Woman’s Club held its monthly meeting Jan uary 8th with a very good number in attendance considering the in clement weather. Following the Secretary’s and Treasurer’s reports a discussion of Club finances was held and ways and means of rais ing funds for meeting the demands of the budget were suggested. M_s. Bahnson Weathers, President, said that she felt that a Finance com mittee would be useful. No defi nite steps were taken because the matter was felt to be sufficiently important to be put before a larger number of the membership than was then present. Mrs. W. A. Thorne was named chairman of a nominating commit tee with Mrs. R. P. Beckwith and Mrs. M. H. Vaughan to provide nominees for the offices of presi dent, second vice-president and sec retary. Mrs. H. S. Loy announced that the Roanoke Rapids Library had received a gift subscription to a magazine from a local organization, the Association for Childhood Edu cation. Mrs. C. A. Wyche announced that all club members and the public at large were cordially invited to enjoy a lecture with very beauti ful colored slides picturing the fa mous antebellum homes of the Gulf Coast on January 15th at three o’ clock in the Clubhouse, said pro gram to be sponsored by the Gar den Department. This department will also present another note worthy program on Feb. 19th when slides of the tulip gardens at the New York World's Fair will be shown. These pictures have been in such great demand that several months elapsed before they were VQ i 1Q hln A Fine Arts Department meeting was announced for January 22nd at the home of Mrs. Robert Vaughan. The program committee present ed Mr. Stanley White, speaker of the afternoon who reviewed the novel "Escape” by Ethel Vance. Mr. White did this so effectively and was so thoroughly familiar with his material that his listeners felt the afternoon to be one of rare interest. Tea was served by the hostesses of the afternoon at the conclusion of Mr. White’s address. Brasington Has Studio Nextdoor Former Location —The Brasington Studio this week announces their removal from the Imperial Theatre Bldg., where they have been located for the past two months, to the Smith building, next door to their old location. The move is being made in order to gain much-needed floor space, according to Carl Brasington, own er and manager of the studio. They will be open for business in their new location the latter part of this week. The move will only slightly af fect the location, so far as patrons are concerned, as they will con tinue to use the same stairway to reach the studio, the only differ ence being to turn to the right, in sead of the left, at the head of the stairway. Gone With Wind Here Feb. Maybe Altho there is still no definite answer to the much-asked ques tion: “When will Gone With The Wind be shown in Roanoke Rap ids?” Lyle N. Wilson, booking manager for Roanoke Rapids The atres, has high hopes of presenting the ‘road-show’ attraction here by perhaps the last week in Febru ary, he said today. The local tneatre is Deing literal ly deluged with the question from hundreds of movie-goers in this territory daily. Every mail brings more inquiries . . . the telephone rings scores of times daily . . . long distance calls are not uncommon . . . always with the query: "When are you going to show G.W.T.W.?” Mr. Wilson is off for Charlotte, "the movie-capitol of the Carolinas" this week-end, and hopes to secure a definite booking date while there. One thing is certain: "Gone With The Wind” will be shown in Roa noke Rapids months before it will be seen in many other cities in the state; the original “road-show” print will be presented here (the identical print used for the World Premier of the picture in Atlanta, which is now drawing 2.20 at the Astor on Broadway). When the film is presented local ly it is possible three shows daily will be held, in spite of its long length, and seats will be strictly reserved for the evening perform ance. It is also highly probable the show will be booked for Roa noke Rapids for from five-days to a full-week. __I— H.S. TEAMS PLAY 2; CONFERENCE FOE HERE FRI.
