Tufi..-. president, announced Friday (hat effective at once class work at LeesMcRue College here has been suspended for the remainder of the (term, which was scheduled to run tintil May 22.

This put the power plant and the water system out of commission, and the college is without lights and water. Another factor in the decision to close was the fact there are two cases of typhoid fever, although an analysis of the water by State chemists showed no trace of typhoid.

Everybody'* at Pastime; I I ' "Bondage," the new Fox film that!' comes to the Pastime Theatre next, Monday for a two-day run, tears,, down a curtain that has long conceal- j ed a hidden part of our lives. Simply i and effectively r unravels a girl's| life and in the doing narrates one of! the most strikingly dramatic poraraits of the motion picture season. In thisi production depicting the hardships) experienced in a community by a' group of unmarried mothers, Dorothy Jordan, in the roie of the umved "Judy Peters" comes of dramatic age and gives a portrayal that for sincerity ranks with the finest on the silver screen. She is supported by a wonderful cast headed by Alexander Kirkland. Kate Smith, the "big girl" of radio, will be featured on the Paa'imc. Theatre's screen Wednesday and Thursday, April 19 and 20, in "Hello Everybody," a story written especially for her by Fannie Hurst. Those who have enjoyed the "Songbird of the South" in radio will delight when they hear her sing "Moon Song" and a number cf other new ones written especially for this snappy film. Manager Arthur Hainby is going to make a special concession o "stout" ladies by admitting free to the Wednesday matinee every Watauga woman who ean bear down on the scales for more than I 70 pounds. "Don't be ashamed of your flesh, ladies," says he, "for Kate Smith, the star, weighs 212 lbs. and's proud of it." A film drama that entertains and at the same time stimulates feeling and thought?that is Metro-GoldwynMaycr's "Men Must Fight," which will he seen at the local playhouse Friday, the 21at. It is one of the most unusual pictures the screen has seen for it depicts the couutry on the ytffSf of a ear in 1040. The settings, the | gowns and the sentiment arc those j of future years. Front the standpoint of acting and directing the picture | is exceptional. Minna Wynvard, Lew- i is Stone and Philips Holmes are a few | of the stars in this fine dvamn.
