FOUR "Collegiate" And' Obsession" Comini * "Collegiate." one of the classi- j est musical comedies of the season, starring Jack Okie, Joe Pen ner and Frances Langford, is ( coming to the Carolina Theatre, Wilmington, the last three days of this week. "Collegiate" is the first picture , to give Frances Langford an im-1 portant role though she has had singing parts in a couple of other films. She not only sings In her own lovely way, but she acts in this picture. Her principal "Will t TT.vpr Know?". J1U1I1UC1, ???? * " * v.. ? - P . should become an immediate favorite. Jack Oakie is cast as the' ne'er-do-well nephew of a rich old lady who bequeaths him a; girls' seminary at the outset of i the story, with the provision that j he must stay away from the brimming flagon for a year. Lynne Overman. Oakie's han-1 fly-man, and Ned Sparks, his an-1 ti-publicity agent, join the play-j boy in his hitch-hiking journey to the school and on the road they encounter Joe Penner, who has a nicj car, plenty of money, i and a ba ' case of amnesia. These our barge into the school, which turns out to be a hair-ribbon-and-bloomers institution, very dull and uninspired, where the ither is still the leading musical instrument and the gavotte the favorite dance. Here we find Miss Langford, | wearing spectacles and generally j unattractive, but singing a popu- j Jar song amid all this Victorian atmosphere. Our quartet of Lo- j tharios. after due deliberation, decide to take hold of the school and modernize it. In short, they decide to toss out everything that 1 is old-fashioned and transform the place into a "charm school." j Miss Langford is in love with Oakie while Penner, in his cam- . pus rambles, comes across a love- !, ly blonde, Betty Grable, a screen newcomer who possesses all the j beauty that any one girl could desire. . COMING MONDAY A great book, a greater pic- 'j ture?"The Magnificent Obsess- j ion" comes Monday to the Caro- j ( lina for three days. , In the story Irene Dunne has ! acquired a bitter hatred of Rob- J ert Taylor and it is only sifter long maneuvring that he is able to induce her to enter his automobile.

With him, he brought petitions from Gulfport ! citizens urging clemency. Parole Sought Back in Mississippi he had left a wife and children. Shortly after i his return, his friends made a desperate effort to free him, but parole officials took no action other than to assure his case would be handled in ordinary channels. What Walker did not tell, and i what had not been discovered when he was in prison here during World War times, was the fact he had killed the Brunswick 1 officer while he was a fugitive from Oklahoma. Prison records there show a man committed as Paul Williams on November 20, 1909, had escapjfrom a manslaughter term of 30 years on June 22, 1914. That was 'only a few days less than a year before the man again faced a judge for a sentence for killing, this time in North Carolina. | A modern system of co-operation in identification was the fac1 tor that gave Walker away when he returned to prison hefre. His fingerprints were sent to Washington and from there to Oklaihoma in regular channels. Officials in that State learned the man they had wanted for a quarter of a century was behind I bars here. Photos Exchanged I The wardens of the two prisons J exchanged photographs after i some correspondence, and these ; corroborated the fingerprint evidence. Despite the fact it has ibeen 27 years since Walker fled J Oklahoma, he looks much the same as he did at 23 years, when he was imprisoned in the west. When efforts were made to ; free Walker here, letters poured , in from many states, and from LlUlvl uc.1 ur niuni3 MAKE THIS 25c TEST Use Juniper oil, Buchu leaves, !etc., co flush out excess acids and waste matter.

Mr. Herring said he objects tc placing farmers on land alreadj made useable, as the other meth od "sorts the chaff from fhf wheat" and gives the resettle ment office an idea of what the farmer may amount to if anc when he is sold a farm on the amortization basis.

He was noncommittal on the project Mr. Herring said, but did comment "it was good land." The property is available tc the government in any amount il might choose to take, Mr. Her ring said, from a small tract tc the entire 9,000 acres. At the present time there is no land available to the resettlement office in this county for the resettlement of farmers of this county.
