Upon that novel premise, Colum bia is said to have hung one of the most delightful Westerns ever filmed. “Go West. Young Lady.” which packs mirth, melody, melodrama and omph into a motion picture entirely new and novel. Penny Singleton, Glenn Ford and Ann Miller top the featured cast of the comedy, at the Plymouth Theatre Sunday. Miss Singleton takes a brief sab batical from her popular appearance as “Blondie” to appear in “Go West, Young Lady” as the lovely young heroine who tosses off a pie or a song with facile abandon, who hand les a six-gun or a dance routine with delightful ease. As her romantic lead, Glenn Ford tops even his superb performance in the recent, and only a bit less bois terious, “Texas,” Ford is seen as the gun-totin’ frontier marshal whose ef forts to round up Pecos Pete, the WHO BELONGS TO WHO? Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda seem to leave no doubt in anybody’s mind, but “You Belong to Me,” in which they are starred today at the Plymouth Theatre, presents Mr. Fonda as an inordinately jealous hlsband who seems to think, because his wife is a doctor with an extensive practice, that she belongs to the world! worst villian west of the Mississippi, lead to one blithe comedy situation after another, and the toe-twinkling Miss Miller comports herself with lovely gracefulness as the dance hall entertainer who is Pecos Pete's pret tiest aide.

Miss Stanwyck is seen as a woman doctor with too many pat ients—all of them handsome Local Teams Divide Double Bill Tuesday -$ The Plymouth boys defeated Bel haven, 37 to 16, while the local girls lost, 19 to 5, in a basketball double header at the high school gym Tues day night.

Since Miss Russell plays a woman judge she and Director Norman Tau rog made a number of visits to a courtroom presided over by a femin ine magistrate in order to make sure there would be no inaccuracies in the picture’s judicial sequences. For the Cape Cod scenes, a camera crew was sent directly to the Cape, where typical street scenes were shot, together with exterior and interior shots of New England beach cottages and picturesque landmarks. A Los Angeles publishing building and its offices served as model for the publishing house sequences of the picture, in which Edward Arnold plays the publisher. The picture is based on an original screen play by Leonard Hauser, and was produced by John W. Considine, jr. -$ OCEAN NO DEFENSE At a Chamber of Commerce meet ing in San Francisco in 1935, Major General James C.

It was the third setback for the Plymouth girls who have lost to Bear Grass and Roper but it is the second victory for the local lads who lost to Bear Grass but who have won from Roper and Creswell.
