The two pictures, “T6BACC0iDAND-U. s. a.” and ‘•FLBASURE TIME” provide a full hour’s entertainment and admission is free. Every scene in “TOBACCO- LAiND-USA" was' filmed by the '(arch of Time in Durham Coun ty. There is un^isual intere.st, therefore, in this picture for th6se living in Durham and vicin ity. The scenes are familiar •cfnes and the people are men and women you know, neighbors and friends; “TOBIACCO'LAND-U. S. A.” shows in a vivid and entertain- iiijr nmnner Just how important Durham's great tobacco indiw- try IS in the business, social and ^.cultural life cf the community. It packs into a little over thirty mii.'utes a human ^nd fascinating •tory of what to>bacco means to purhan) farmers and to the South, It introduces to the screen the £llia Family, who have been railing tobacco since time im- rnemorial and whom you pro bably know, A» you watch th«m pn paring their, seed beds in the early spring, getting up beft^re dawn to .set out the seedlings and Working and thinking tolbacco the year around, you get a better idea of Just what a hard, exact ing job it is £o raise really fitie tobacco. The women of the Ellis Family come into the picture, too. ■You’ll see them helping the men, particularly at harvest time when every leaf has to be individually ' sorted and graded. They churn their own butter, and their cook- ^ ing, partkfllarly the preseryw, is second to none in the Sojath. j The tobaoCo buyers for the l.iggett and Myers Tobacco Co., I the makers of Chesterfield Cigarette* and the sponsor^ of this picture, drop in on the Ellises- to get a preview of their tobaccos. Funny thing, they al ways seem to come around at barbecue timv*. M»ke| you hungry to "see ’ tTiie “ wKy “littose Ellises keep coming back for n)ore of that good Brunswick stew, the sizz^n^ barbecued roeat ai d all the trimmings, I The ticklish joto of curing the tobacco properly ia supervised by the head of the Ellis Family, Buren Ellis himself day and njght the fires gre kept burning, the temperature is checked and re- checked because a single slip at this stage could ruin a whole year’s laibor. The Ellises take their tobacco to the big auction warehouses where you see the auctioneer, and hear his chant. You share tl eir pride as the Ellis tobacco briugs in the highest prices. I Most of the Ellis crop is b ught in for Chesterfie'.U Ci'jiarettes. Y^iu'see it is taken t'> ! tlie f^tory and . conditioned for" 'ageing. Then it goes to»the ware- j houses where it stays fttr two yi'i;rs or more. When it is pro- j p('i ly aged it comes back to tjiu I factory and you are shi. wn the the actual workings of tb»j ».’» n’OM^'hviinan machines that slcitj it, cut it and make it into cijf.aroLtes, the cigarettes inty [packages, the packages to car- t. ns and the carton^ into still jb ^ger cartons, t But it’s not air work on the Ellis farm. You see the young fiilka having a good time. You lee th»ni «t our great universi ties singing in. the choir and cheering around the bonfire be fore the big game.. The young people will parti cularly like the other picture on the free t^n-blH “PLEASURE TIMES,” also made by the March of Time. It takes you behind the j scenes while Pred Waring is pre paring one of his Chesterfield radio broadcasts. It gives you j something of a shock to see what an amazing amount of work, de tail, comedy, tragedy and every thing it takes to whip a fifteen ^ minutes show into shape. Fred 1 Waring takes you with him while ^ he cheeks up on what his arrang ers, his glee cluib, his featured singers and players are doing. There’s plenty doing every min ute and Fred certainly has every I thing well in hand. Of course, rhere’a lot of good music. I I “TOBACCOLAND-U. S. A.” and “PLBASUiRE TIME” will be at the Cjtrolina j,nd the Regal I Theatres, continuous full hour’s performance, Friday and .Satur day, March 1st and 2n^. Admiss ion free, courtesy of' the Ligrgett jind Myers Tiibacco Company, t h e makers of Chesterfielu Cigarettes. t'.ie first tip-oflf in both games there was nevere any question aj to which team would come cut on top. The bill with Morehouse is the last home game of the year against conference competition. Captain Farmer and Jordan, Kroxvilie’s new center, led the attack ft r the Knoxvillians. The outs'tanding man on the floor for the invading Mgrehouse five was Grant who hit the bui^ket for 15 pcints in the second game. Knoxville’s' “*big five” includ- e.s Farmer a^d Christian for wards; Henderson and Preston, guards; and Jordan at center. Their floor game against More house was superb. Witmington Downs S.
