"Go West Young Man" Mae West Appears in New Type of Film at Louisburg Theatre Thursday and Friday, Dec. 17-18th It's a new and different Mae West who parades her way thru "Go West Young Man," her lat est comedy which will be shown at the Louisburg Theatre, Thurs day and Friday, Dec. 17-1'g. And I it's a new Mae West because tte curvaceous beauty discovered years ago that "you've got to give 'em something new to keep 'em interested." Instead of the overstuffed, over dressed beauty ot the "nifty nlne jMes?' the role which made her the world's most celebrated movie actress, the new Mae is now a modern young lady, a movie ac tress this time, wearing gorgeous gowns which are the last word from the modiste shops of Paris. I Even the setting for her latest 1 ! story is different. Where she, | previously disported herself against the "gingerbread" gran deur of the nineties, she now does her stuff on a typical American farm, right down among the cows and chickens. It is on this farm that she finds love, In the person of Randolph Scott, a backwoods inventor. It is iilso here that Warren William cast as her press agent, breaks up the romance because Miss West's movie contract makes ( it mandatory that she steer clear | of romance. There Is another ro mance with Lyle Talbot, and it J is from these three swains thatl Miss West picks her man: Buy Christmas Seals Fourteen days from today is Christmas Day ! You want to get your letters and packages off within the next ten days. Please use at least one Christmas tuber culosis seal on each package and letter you send. Buy many of the seals ! One penny each, is the cost.. The children will go from house to house this Week and next week. Scoggln and Boddie Drug Stores have these seals for 'sale. Lend your patronage to this most worth-while sale. It will mean gifts and comfort to many tubercular ipersons Christmas. Mrs. R. F. Yarborough, . 3, Chairman. y " CHAS* P.
