Lucille Fairbanks and her aunt (Marjorie Gateson) try to obtain passage to America, but they are unsuccessful. Keith Douglas, another stranded Ameri can, who has fallen in love with Miss Fairbanks at first sight, tries to offer his services to them, but they refuse to talk to him. Dis couraged, he inserts an ad in a newspaper asking Miss Fairbanks to call him. She replies by an ad asking him to write her five let ters and if she found them inter esting she would see him. In his letters he tells her a thrilling tale about how he became involved in a murder. Feeling sorry for Dou glasf Miss Fairbanks is unhappy, for she felt that Douglas needed help. Just then Miss Gateson in forms her she had obtained pas sage for them. But she soon finds out that Douglas wasn’t in trouble at all, and that he made up the story to win her attention. She de cides to teach him a lesson. With the aid of the police inspector and the very man Douglas had claimed had been murdered, Miss Fairbanks works out a plot whereby Douglas appears as a murderer. Not until he had been properly frightened does she admit to him that it had all been a joke. By this time they are in love, and arrange to go back to the United States. On the stage next Wednesday the Imperial will have “Hi Ho America”. ****** “Citadel of Crime”, at the Im perial on Thursday and Friday of next week, is a robust film of city racketeers clashing with moun taineers. Robert Armstrong, Frank Albert son and Linda Hayes are in the top roles, and the supporting cast includes Russell Simpson, Skeets Gallagher, William Haade, Paul Fix and Jay Novello. Armstrong is “sprung” from the death house by the gang so that he might negotiate with the resi dents of the mountain regions, where he was born, a deal to mar ket their “moonshine” liquor tax free. Under his direction the bus iness runs smoothly until the rev enue agents headed by Albertson close in and the racketeers cease being. ****** Gene Autry will be at the Impe rial on Saturday of next week in “The Singing Hill”. Added will be “The Spider Returns”. FAIR WILL OFFER PULLING CONTEST Champion pulling teams of horses and mules will be crowned at the 1941 State Fair at Raleigh, Octo ber 14 through 18.

S. Dorton explained, “The collec tion of the tax is not only a civic duty to National Defense, but is a mandate under the law. “This year, as in past years, the Fair will not make any charge on school children admissions on ‘Young North Carolinians’ Day’. All of the three cents tax will be used for National Defense and must be paid, as required by law, by the person admitted to the ex position.” Dr. Erwin, urging school child ren to attend the fair, termed the State-operated exposition “one of North Carolina’s really great edu cational institutions.” Nearly 100, 000 square feet of educational ex hibits will be seen this year. 1 ——1 Mrs. Joe Copeland of Tillery spent Friday with Mrs. W.
