A. DOUGHERTY'S SONS. INC. DISTILLERS, PHILADELPHIA, PA. ^ iiiiiiiiiiiii It would be well-night impos sible currently to recruit a trio of stars with more poiyerful cC'in- bined magnetism than the three topliners assembled by producer- director Billy Wilder for the screen version of the widely known stage success, “Sabrina,” continuing at the Carolina Thea tre this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 2-3-4, at 8:15 p. m. with a Saturday matinee at 3. Not only is this one of the gay est comedies of the season but it is highlighted by three Academy Award winners, William Holden, Audrey Hepburn and Humphry Bogart, in the leading roles. Light and amusing at all times, initiating a pace that is retained ^ throughout, “Sabrina” is a type of product that will bring back the so-called “lost audience.” Classification Freight Yard of Seaboard Opens Expensive Hamlet Project Features Electronic Methods \ In “Beau Brummell,” coming to' the Carolina Sunday through! Wednesday, Decem’ber 5-8, with; three shows Sunday at 3, 7, and, 9 p. m., week nights at 8:15 andj a Wednesday matinee at 3, the mantle of George Bryan Brum mell, once worn with acclaim by the late John Barrymore and' originally on the stage by Rich ard Mansfield in the Clyde Fitch play, has been eloquently restyled j to fit the tall, handsome Stewart! Granger. Granger is the essence] of sartorial grandeur as tlje pro-] totype of England’s most famous' dandy. In a role that demands grace,] charm and daring, our Beau finds ^ some highly dramatic moments] and romantic interludes withi Elizabeth Taylor to suit his tal-J ent. “Beau Brummell” is an out standing picture for the entire family. It has an absorbing, heart warming story, outstanding per formances and touching pathos to reach every moviegoer’s heart and win his enthusiastic approval.! Outstanding among the support-1 ing players and literally fighting' Granger for every scene, is Peter] Ustinov’s delineation of the Prince of Wales who later became King George IV. Photographed in beautiful Technicolor. Starting Thursday night, De cember 9, is Gene Kelly, John Husting and Jeff Richards in “Crest Of The Wave,” adapted from the London Stage hit, “Sea gulls over Sorrento.” SUNRISE Twentieth Century-Fox’s first murder mystery in CinemaSdope.] “Black Widow,” brings a star- studded cast, headed by Ginger Rogers, Van Heflin, Gene Tier-1 ney, George Raft, Peggy Ann| Garner and Reginald Gardiner, to’ the Sunrise Theatre Monday and Tuesday. This suspense-filled m.ystery was written, directed and produced by Nunnally John son, from the best-selling novel by Patrick Quentin. “Black Widow,” which was filmed in New York and Holly- wocd in color by De Luxe Labs, tells the story of a young Georgia girl who goes to New York to be come a writer and in her ambi tious climb becomes involved in^ an impossible love affair with a] married theatrical producer] which leads to her death. The solving of the murder by George Raft, who plays the detective, is accomplished in a series of in genious flashbacks which involve all of the principal players before the final denouement. For Miss Tierney, the picture is reminis cent of “Laura,” the murder mys tery which brought her so much success ten years ago. It also brings back to Holly wood Miss Garner, who will be rememibeted best for her role of “Francie” in “A Tree Grows In Brooklyn,” which won for her a special Oscar. It also serves as a reunion picture for Miss Gamer and Mr. Raft, who last appeared together in “Nob Hill” ten years ago and for Mr. Johnson and Ginger Rogers, who appeared in two previous Johnson pictures, “Roxie Hart” and more recently “We’re Not Married.” In “Black Widow” Miss Tierney and Miss Rogers, who play Broad' way actresses of contrasting char acter, display a variety of street and evening clothes designed by Travilla that make the picture literally a fashion show of mod ern dress as well as a gripping drama. The Seaboard Air Line Rail- read’s new ultra-modern $7,000, 000 hump classification yard at Hamlet was put in operation Monday, but formal dedicatory exercises will not be held until the first of next year, officials of the company have announced. Seaboard commenced construc tion of the yard in the spring of 1953. Five miles long and gen erally about half a mile wide, sit uated on a 600 acre tract of land about a mile north of Hamlet, the yard is one of the mest advanced designs to be found in the coun try. It uses the principle of momen tum. for classifying freight trains —a train is classified when its cars are sorted and connected to gether in orderly arrangement ac cerding to their destinations. In this operation, cars are pushed over the hump, which is about 20 feet high, disconnected one at a, time and allowed to roll down an incline onto cne of the 58 dif ferent classification tracks at the foot of the hump. Each of these tracks, with capacities ranging from 22 to 57 .cars, is designated to receive cars for certain com- mcn destinations. Train Make-up When the entire train has b^On classified in this manner, a yard switch engine collects the string of cars from each classification track and carries them to a de parture yard, where they are pu. into a train in “station order,” or in the same sequence in which the train will arrive at stations along the route. This permits cut ting a string of cars from a train in minimum time. Although the momentum prin ciple of classifying a train sounds simple, a considerable amount of highly sensitive electronics equpiment, and an elaborate voice communications system, is required in the operation. For in stance, a special weighing device at the top of the hump weighs a car, determines its potential mo mentum going down the hump, whether loaded or empty, and au tomatically controls “retarders” in the hump which slows the car to a desired speed in relation to the distance it has to travel down the classification track. The “retarders” are electro- pneumatically operated “squeez ers” set in the hump track on the doyrnward incline. They operate by applying heavy pressure on both sides of the car wheels, slow ing the car to the speed required. Furthermore, the electronic op eration can set as many as eight swtiches through which a car can pass from the hump to its speci fied classification track. This electronic equipment also will “remember” a total of five switch patterns set in sequence down the hump track, so that five cars at a time can be rolling to their tracks, with the switches chang ing positions properly before each car. By this method, it is not nec essary for one car to make a com plete trip down the hump and onto its track before another can leave the hump—five can do it simultaneously becaus this elec tronic “brajn” has a memory. ElFdiiOTaie Comm.umcaiions Because of the size of the yard and the intensified classification operation, an electronic communi cations system has been installed including a high-speed pneumatic tube network for delivery of mes sages and telegrams. Two-way voice radio is used extensively and the yard also is equipped with outdoor loudspeakers, inter connected teletype lines, tele phone communication, and a re corder system. It has a total of 367 flC'daiight units rated at 573,- 000 watts, most of which are units of 1500 watts each, all of which are automatically controled with a time switch actuated by an as tronomic dial to regulate the ligl^ting at different seasons of the year. It is considered likely that for mal dedicatory exercises yrill be held sometime in January, but no definite plans have yet been for mulated. U. S. sweet potato production is estimated at 29,285,000 bushels, 14 per cent below the 1953 crop. World production of soybeans is expected to reach an alltime, high in 1954, with a 735 million] bushels crop forecast. Over three- fourths of the anticipated 90-' million-bushel increase will come from the United States. j DAIRY QUEEN Open Sat. and Sun. 11:00 a.in. to 11:00 p.m. CONES MALTS SHAKES SUNDAES BANANA SPLITS Dairy Queen on U.S. No. 1 Between Sou.
