Stewart & Russel
In "No Time For
Comedy" Mon.-Tu
"The Sea Hawk", starring Erro
Flynn in the most glorious screei
adventure of his career, is the fea
tured attraction for the local the
atres next week, scheduled foi
showing at the Peoples Sunday-onlj
and at the Imperial Monday and
Tuesday. In the stellar supporting
cast are Brenda Marshall, Claude
Bains, Donald Crisp, Flora Robsor
and Alan Hale.
Background of the stirring story
of "The Sea Hawk" is England in
the lusty 'days of Queen Elizabeth.
Among England's heroes of the
time are sea fighters, who prey on
the Spanish galleons, stripping
them of their rich booty and bring
ing it home to swell England's
dwindling treasury. Most daring
and fearless of these privateers is
Geoffrey Thorpe, the role portrayed
by Flynn.
The fortunes of England are at a
low ebb, however, and King Philip
of Spain, aided by Elizabeth's trai
torous chancellor, is planning to
attack and seize the weakened
i country. To further his plans he
sends one of his most able men to
England as ambassador. Thorpe
attacks the ship which is bringing
the ambassador and his lovely
niece Maria (Brenda Marshall) to
England. Maria scorns Thorpe as
a pirate and a thief until he re
turns her jewel casket to her, and
also points out that the Spanish
ship she was on was propelled by
several hundred galley slaves, all
Englishmen. From that time on
Maria and Thorpe are allies, bound
together by mutual understanding
as well as romantic inclination.
From there the story runs the
gauntlet of stolen plans, capture,
galley slavery, and escape on the
high seas. At last Thorpe has to
fight his way through traitors to
place the plans of the Spanish to in
vade England but he succeeds in
the end and is knighted by the
queen.

On the "must see" list of every
movie fan is the highly entertaining
film, "No Time For Comedy",
which will be the attraction of the
Peoples Theatre Monday and Tues
day of next week. Starring James
Stewart and Rosalind Russell, this
sophisticated story concerns a
young newspaperman from the
sticks who writes a comedy about
Manhattan's penthouse set, scores
a smash hit on Broadway and
marries the star of the play. So
phisticated comedies flow from his
facile pen. His wife stars in each
of the, and hit follows hit in swift
succession.
However, complications arise
when a meddlesome young million
airess blond convinces him that he
is throwing his talent away and
that he should write a play with a
"message." The serious play is at
tempted with disastrous results—
except that it brings the two young
married people closer together in
the wind-up. Charlie Ruggles,
Genevieve Tobin, Allyn Joslyn,
Clarence Kolb, and Louise Beavers
are in the supporting cast.

"Flowing Gold," a rugged story
of th° oil fields and starring John
Garfield, Frances Farmer, and Pat
O'Brien, will have a two-day run
at the Peoples Theatre on Wednes
day and Thursday of next week.
The locale of the dynamic action
> drama is Texas' great oil fields, the
sprawling strip of land where men
ruthlessly fight to capture flowing
gold—the rich black oil that has
lain in waiting since prehistoric
time to gush geyser-like into the
air.
Against this vivid background is
painted the enthralling story of
love, greed, and high adventure.
John Garfield and Pat O'Brien are
seen as itinerant oil workers who
meet and fall in love with Frances
Farmer, beautiful daughter of their
eccentric prospecting employer. In
a series of swifty-paced scenes the
pair saves the girl's wells from con
niving rivals, and again come to
her rescue when the wells are set
aflame.
The supporting cast in this lusty
saga of the oil wells includes such
names as Raymond Walburn, Cliff
Edwards, the late Granville Bates,
and Jody Gilbert.
"Cross Country Romance", the
highly entertaining story of love be
tween two young people of today,
will be shown for "Bargain Day"
at the Peoples Theatre next Friday
only. This is a story of romance
that is different, and will give
movie goers heart-throbbing thrills
which they will remember for many
a day, it is said.
