The romantic roles are enacted by Hardie Albright, brilliant young stage ac tor who makes his screen bow in this production, and Dorothy Jordan, pop ular as well as beautiful screen a‘c- tress. These personalities are rein forced by Cecelia Loftusy James Kirk wood and Edmund Breese. “Young Sinners” is adapted from the Elmer Harris sensational stage piay which had such a long run in New York. An intensely human and moving mother-love and triangle drama with strong feminine appeal is the adapta tion of the famous Charles G Norris novel, “Seed,” which comes to the Southern Pines Theatre, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with a Tues day matinee. “Seed” is likely to end I.

Fires have played an unkindly game with the hotels of Southern Pines. Nearly thirty years ago Capt. Clarke built one of the most eccent'ic hotels the world ever saw.. It stood the current year. After the avalanche of gangster pictures it strikes a re freshing and wholesome note. It is distinctly a serious and thoughtful presentation ;_of some of the major problems of marriage, children and family life and it deserves respect and attention as such. There should be room for this type of picture--the daily bre^d, if you will—if the cin ema is to live up to its responsibili ties not only as entertainment, but also as one of the dominant influ ences upon the every-day life of un told millions.
