"Northwe.st Pas.sage,'^ in gorgeous technicolor with Spencer Tracy, Robert Young, Walter Bren nan and Ruth Hussey in the leading I’oles. is the attraction at Pinehurst Sunday night, February 2t')th at 8:30 .ind Monday, February 26th at 3:00 and 8:30 p. m. One of the best known Hollywood critics has the following to say about it. "Here, Ladies and Gentlemen of the show business, is a picture to start talk ing about now, if you've got it sche. duled and keep right on talking about, now, if you've got it schedul. cd and keep right on talking about, with rising fervor, until it comes to hand, after which, by all the rules of showmanly precedent^ the customers will pick up the glad news and start shouting it from the housetops. For tl’i.s is the kind of picture the cus- ton'.irs have already made it Vheir wr.'-onal business to tell their friends about, a solid piece of screen enter-1 tainment. sound as a bell, tight as a j drum, strong as the strong men whose factual adventure the film re. produces faithfully and with tremen. j ilous power. It is the kind of picture the industry and its public thrive upon, the kind that makes paying customers out of the ca.sual comers, friends and stnangers. I The attraction at Pinehufst for Wednesday, February 28th, is none other than the congenial Mae West nnd W. C. Fields in an entertainment item of comedic consequence, in “My Little Chickadee.” With two .s\ich comedians together in a picture for which they have written the origi- na' screenpla.v, it takes little imagi- ' nation for anyone to deduce without | benefit of words that the picture will be extrtmely funny. Such a deduc tion would be absolutely accurate. One quip follows another and the pic. ture moves with surprising speed and rapidity. Something is happening all the time. Mae West is just like she was in her first picture, "She Done Him Wrong" and Fields Is as god as ever. One of the greatest "all name” casts since “Dinner At Eight.” and "Grand Hotel,” was assembled by Metro-Goldv/yn-Mayer, for "Strange ^ Cargo,” starring Clark Gable and: Joan Crawford^ the attraction at Pinehurst Friday, March 1st, at 3:00 and 8:30 p. m. In the support, ing cast are Ian Hunter, Paul Lu. kas, Peter Lorre, Albert Dekker, J. Edward Bromberg, Eduardo Cianneli, John Arledge and Victor Varconi. Picturization of the Richard Sale best- j seller, "Not Too Narrow, Not Too Narrow, Not Too Deep," Strange, Cargo” presents Gable as Verne An-1 dre, incorrigable iconoclast is a South; Am,erican penitentiary, and Miss; Crawford as Julie, cafe entertainer! in the penal colony^ who become fel. j low.fugitives after a prison break.. In Southern Pines Three return engagements of top- j notch attractions are coming to Southern Pines, beginning with that glorious .screen entertainment, "Broadway Melody of 1940,” with Fred Astaire, Eleaor Powell, George Murphy and Frank Morgan, on Mon day and Tuesday, February 26th and 27th, with a Tuesday matinee.

(They learned! from their client that it wa.s m^-'dicine he had in his pockets.) This was on a Tuesday morning. Recorder’s Court convenes only on Mondays, The Britisher had spent one night in jail, sleepless; it would be les majeste and all kinds of lis- courtesy to the Crown to Incarcerate him in the Carthage gaol to await trial the following Monday. Judge J. Vance Rowe was appeal ed to. It would eatablishe a precedent, he said to hold a special session of court for the benefit of one prison er. Then he thought a moment. “But," he said, "it would only estab. lish a precedent for Biltish prison, ers. I will hold a special session in Aberdeen this evening In this case. This precedent will only apply Ic* British prisoners.

He agreed to attend the special court, scheduled for 6:30 that evening. He went through \ Ihe jnotlons of at tempting to convict the prisoner, the awom duty of a solicitor, even when in a boiled shirt, but Judge Rowe quickly ruled lack of evidence and tossed the case out of court. All' concerned apologized to the attache | who went on his way to Washington i with a good dinner-table story to tell I the diplomatic corps up there. j Friday and Saturday March 1-2 — 8:15 Matinee Saturday at 3:00 CROWDS EXPEC’TED TO ATTEND HORSE SHOW (Continued from page one) which there is no general admission charge.
