Including today's sales the total World-Wide Communion Sunday To Be Noted Here World-Wide Communion Sunday will be observed by local churches, as well as those from many de nominations throughout the world, on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer did that and more with “Boom Town,” which, according to an announce ment just received, will be held over all this week at the Carolina theatre. “Boom Town” is one of those pictures that defies ^description. It surpasses imagination and has to be seen to be appreciated. It has more action than a Golden Gloves tournament. The simile is not far fetched. There are two swell fights, one in which Gable and Tracy take on three husky bruisers, and a spine-tingling fist fight between the stars, not to mention a few other fisticuffs and a scrap between two gorgeous dance-hall girls. But “Boom Town” goes farther in action. It sends Gable and Tracy diving head first into a sea of mud and then puts them into a long “underwear” scene, two bits of action that are hilarious. It then produces startling scenes of gush ers booming in, of Gable riding a bucking mule, of Gable and Tracy battling an oil well fire that will leave you limp at the finish, and of a funny hi-jacking scene. It also has its share of romance, with Claudette Colbert and Hedy La marr, as the faithful wife and ad venturous siren respectively. It adds comedy by Frank Morgan and Chill Wills. And there’s that cute infant, Baby Quintanilla. The cast is perfect in perform ances. The direction of Jack Con way is superb, and Sam Zimbalist rates plaudits for his fine produc tion. 2 “LILLIAN RUSSELL” RETURNS TO THE ROYAL TODAY “Lillian Russell,” Darryl F. Za nuck’s great entertainment tri umph, comes back to the Royal theatre today for a one day re turn engagement, giving Wilming tonians who are desirous of seeing again the masterpiece which has made such a hit and a final chance for those folks who missed its first appearance here to see it. The picture portrays the life and loves of the woman who thrilled the country for thirty years with her exotic beauty, her exquisite voice and her enthralling stage, presence. It also revives the fa mous song hits of her day. Alice Faye superbly fills the title role, and Ameche and Fonda turn in the best performances of their careers. Edward Arnold (as Dia mond Jim Brady), Warren William and Leo Carillo and an outstand ing supporting cast of famous per sonalities add inestimably to the spectacular film. Pinky Tomlin and band is the ac companying Royal Varieties sub ject. 2 “WAGON TRAILS” MARKS BIJOU THEATRE PROGRAM Most of the Hollywood cowboys who work in westerns are the "real stuff,” that is, at one time or an other in their careers they have earned their livings on ranches. One group, called the “Old Tim ers” Club, consists of the boys who have been in pictures since the begirning, but are true sons of the west. Most of them were born on ranches, and spent many years roaming the ranges, working as cowhands. Many are pioneers, and many are real ranchers in be tween pictures. Hank Bell and Lafe McKee, both of whom appear in Monogram’s “Wagon Trails,” now at the Bijou theatre, are lccding members in the “Old Timers” Club. Hank, who plays the role of the sheriff, and Lafe, who is seen as John Brad ford, live on small ranches in the San Fernando Valley near Holly wood—ranches that are going con cerns. They make pictures because they love to live again the days of the old west. Chapter Seven of “Terry and the Pirates,” and an Andy Clyde com edy, “Boobs in the Woods,” com plete the program. RENTALS STABLE ON ‘MOVING DAY’ Real Estate Board Says No Upward Trend In Rents Noticeable In City October 1, generally “moving day” in Wilmington has arrived without any general change in rental prices for residence property, according to W, M. Hewlett, head of the Wil mington Real Estate Board. By and large, ht said, there have been no general changes in real es tate prices in Wilmington, “though of .course there have been the usual number of adjustments where prop erty has been renting too cheaply and rentals have been increased in those isolated instances to bring them in line with what the property ought to bring.” Asked if there was any general increase in rentals in sight, Hewlett said that it was impossible to say definitely. Building material costs, he pointed out, are going up rapidly and "if building materials continue to go up it might be reflected in rentals.” Many real estate agents, however, reported they had signed their year ly leases without any revisions in rentals, precluding any revisions prior to next Oct. 1. Nashville Minister To Conduct Services Here Dr. Egbert W. Smith of Nash ville, Tenn., will be the guest of St. Andrews Presbyterian church for a series of four missionary ad dresses beginning Sunday night and continuing through Wednes day. Dr. Smith has been foreign mission secretary of the Presby terian church for 28 years. He has travelled extensively in many countries and had intimate contact with the mission fields of the world. His addresses on the various countries he has visited are non-sectarian. Dr. Smith will speak at St. An drews Presbyterian church each evening at 8 o’clock. All members of Presbyterian churches in the city are expected to join in these services and the general public is cordially invited to attend. M Bogue Inlet Project Reported Unfavorably Proposed improvement of Bogue inlet has been reported unfavorably by the Army engineers. Col. Jarvis J. Bain, division engineer, of Rich mond, has announced. The principal grounds upon which the adverse conclusions were based, he said, are that the cost of jetty construction and supplemental dredg ing required foi the stabilization of the inlet channel would greatly ex ceed the anticipated benefits and that any improvement without jetty construction would be temporary in character and therefore inadvisable. Col. Bain at the same time an nounced that all interested parties have the privilege of an appeal from this conclusion to the board of en gineers for rivers and harbors, a permanent sitting body at Washing ton, D. C., to which all examination and survey reports of this character are referred.
