to allow more time for passengers
to leave and take the trains here.
Probably one of the greatest ad
vertising features the directors have
planned is its decision of Tuesday
to have scenes of attractive loca
tions of the village printed on post-
ctLrds, or equal, to be distributed free
to hotels, rooming houses and other
places of advantage for distribution
to visitors and tourists. This, the
•oaxd believe, will be a personal
«pntact with the village visitors and
will aid in advertsing the place. The
rceues will depict the bridle paths,
following the hounds, etc. carrying
the thought that Southern Pines is
the beauty spot of the south; cli
mate's happy medium and other at
tractive themes.

Entries Indicate Greatest Horse !
Show in History of Pinehursti
Picquet Announces New Awn
ings for Boxes at Next Week’s
Event for Hospital
WANTS
More than the usual number of
early entries have been received for
the 20th annual Pinehurst Horse
Show, to be held next Tuesday and;
Wednesday and there is evidence at |
this writing that the 1937 show will
be the greatest in local history. Sec
retary Charles W. Picquet also made
an important announcement yester
day which will interest those who
have been accustomed to buying
bcxes for the two-day event, some
thing which will remove the objec
tions to box seats which have been
raised for years.
Brand new awnings, in the colors
of the Pinehurst Jockey Club, have |
been ordered to cover all boxes. In
the past the box-holders have been,
forced to sit in the broiling sun—or i
on rainy days in the rain—to witness j
the showing of the various classes. |
This year for the first time they will j
be protected, and the boxes are ex- j
pected to be in great demand as a'
They Read the Ads
More Than 100 Persons Ask
For Shirts Mis-Priced
in The Pilot
It some times takes an error in
an advertisement to prove the val
ue of advertising. Melvin’s Store
found this out last week. The Pi
lot proof reader failed to catch a
mistake in the offering price of
Arrow shirts. The advertisement
read $1.00 when it should have
read $1.98. Result: Mr. Melvin had
more than 100 persons in his stores
in Aberdeen and Southern Pines
asking for the shirts.
The Pilot regrets the error, but
at the same time is happy to learn
how many people read its adver
tisements.

Topping even their triumphs in
“Naughty Marietta” and “Rose Ma-1

son Eddy, America’s favorite singing \
stars, now come to the screen in the
Pinehurst Theatre '/Sunday night,
night, March 28th, at 8:30 and Mon
day at 3 and 8:30, March 29th, in
“Maytime,” lavish adaptation of the
Rida Johnson Young operetta which
was one of the memorable hits of
the New York stage. Directed by
Robert Z. Leonard, the man who gave
filmgoers “The Great Ziegfeld,” with
a wide variety of songs and with a
brilliant supporting cast headed by
John Barrymore in his first appear
ance since "Romeo and Juliet,” the
new M-G-M musical opens as one
of the outstanding sensations of the
new movie seas n. The famous song,
hit of the original play, “Sweetheart,;
Will You Remember” was retained I
for the film version, with tho remaind- |
cr of the musical divided between i
the sentimental and operatic. Miss
MacDonald sings two complete op

and Eddy has three novelty songs.

cian Mickey” a Mickey Mouse.

satile talent of Jean Harlow and
Robert Taylor is made evident in
“Personal Property,” the attraction
at I'inehurst Wednesday, March 31st, i

and their collaboration is distinctly
a success. They have the additional
benefits of an excellent supporting
cast and clever direction by W. S.
Van Dyke who has apchieved the un
ique record of never having turned
out a failure. “Personal Property” is ■
based on the H. M, Harwood stage
succes.'! “Man in Possession” and it j
becomes even more entertaining on;

of the camera. A “hand picked” cast
