LORENSON TALKS
TO ROTARIANS ON
INCOME-TAX FILING
Ernest H. Lorenson, secretary
of the Southern Pines Rotary
club, relieved the program com
mittee of the responsibility of
having to provide a speaker at
the club’s meeting Thursday in
the Southern Pines Country Club,
when he appeared in such a role.
Mr. Lorenson, through his
many years of contact with in
come tax problems, was well
versed in the subject he brought
before the club for discussion. As
he stated, he “skimmed” over his
subject, a timely one concerning
income tax laws, but in a clear,
concise way covered the proper
methods of filing and preparing
income tax returns.
Out of town Rotarians, James
Brennan of Albany, N. Y., and
Geprge Campbell of Poughkeep

President Jim Simons, who pre

“BROADWAY MELODY”
SURPASSES PREVIOUS
FILMS OF SERIES
(Special to The Outlook)
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 10—When
a “Broadway Melody” is bad it’s
very, very bad, and when it’s good
it’s terrific. The “Broadway Mel
ody of 1940,” which will be pre
sented at Charlie Picquet’s Pine
hurst Theatre today (Sunday)
and Monday night, is the best of
the good ones.
This musicafl surpasses any of
its series predecessors, first, by
reason of the presence herein of
not one, not two, but three super
lative dancers, Fred Astaire, Ele
anor Powell and George Murphy.
It excels its forerunners, secondly,
by the use of a Cole Porter music
score. It thrives, additionally,
on the performances of Frank
Morgan, in the pink of his giddi
est form; Ian Hunter, Florence
Rice, Lynne Carver and young
Trixie Firschke, ace vaudeville
juggler whose act is interpolated
for immense audience result.
The picture is easily the “danc
ing-est” musical ever produced,
the three stars evenly matched
dancers performing individually,
collectively and in all the possi
ble pairings. The story is about
a male dance team enamoured of
a girl dance star and a case of
mistaken identity which requires
a sequence of unfamiliar inci
1 dents to get itself ironed out.
