BUTLER PAYS TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF MR. JOHNSO (Continued from page one) er days. Later in life he became post master at Aberdeen, which added fur ther to his knowledge of the people of the community. The law further brought him in contact with every body, while his interest in the old Be- thesda church and its traditions bal anced his relations with the neighbor hood that had its roots clear to the border of Presbyterianism in the Up per Cape Fear valley. As Mr. Johnson grew older and be gan to unload some of the responsibil ities of rearing his brood which was gaining its own feet, his desire -to read from those countries where it At Pinehurst For the first time since the advent of the talking moving picture, Ed Wynn, one of the greatest comedians of recent years, will be heard as well as seen on the screen. “The Perfect Fool,” who thrilled and amused Broad way last season in “Simple Simon,” will be seen at the Pinehurst Theatre this Friday when “Follow The Lead er ” with Ginger Rogers and Stan ley Smith, will feature the ibill. “Fol low The Leade*r” is a ripping farce comedy, in which Wynn himself wen fame on Broadway when it ran to ca pacity houses for weeks under the ti tle of “Manhattan Mary.” In this story of gangdom, Wynn, with his floppy hat and oversized shoes, is s«en as the cheery chef of gangdom’s fav orite restaurant. Inadvertently, he be comes a hero in the eyes of the gang, and is forced to sustain his reputation. “Follow The Leader” is good fun for young and old £md will set the pace for come<3y this season. Practically everyone is familiar with the golf widow, that sadly neg lected victim of the man whose, days are spent on the links and his nights in endless recountings of the birdies, eagles, and hples-in-one, he almost j |: made. But golf widowers were sadly ;;; neglected until Fox Movietone pro duced “Part Time Wife,” which ex poses the ills of a wife trying to manage the martial bark and at the iiiixttxtnnxt was enacted that history and philos . ^ ^ ophy which he had found in books t.me_^compete^ m amateur gou impelled him to visit the old world. With that Scotch loyalty to tradition and blood that characterizes the clans he devoted much time to the Highland home of his forbears, along with visits to other iparts of the old world, and he likewise made the acquaintance of considerable of the United States. He wrote many letters to The Pilot from the places he reached, letters that were read with more than ordinary in terest, for he covered the situation from the view point of an educated observer, and he recognized the meaning of every thing that came be neath his eye. Th big Mossgiel farm that he and his son established on Drowning creek, was named for the Burns home in Scotland, a place Mr. Johnson was personally familiar with, for he was an ardent student of the famous Scottish pott. His uTating reached broader field than newspaper tourneys. Edmund Lowe is the golf widower in this attraction at the Pine hurst Theatre, Monday, January 5th. Business won’ies just about drive him frantic, and he forgets to observe their wedding anniversary. They quar rel, with golf the main cause. How Lowe’s business worries increase and his health grows worse until he is oidered to take up the hated game of golf, and how a loving Irish caddy and his mutt dog effect a reconcilia tion between lovers, makes up the rest of this hilarious film. “Part Time Wife” is an adaptation of the famous Stewart Edward White story, “Shepper Newfounder.” Old world romance and adventure that begins in Budapest’s gayest cab aret and then weaves its tempestuous excitement through the richest color of Hungarian coujji^ryside serves to introduce Evelyn Laye, one of Eng- correspondence, a volume of Enfflisn i fairest enchan- History being- one of the most direct' Heaven- narratives of the Kings of England Night” which comes to the Pine- that has been put in print.
