The last letter, which was received from him on March 5, reported that the young man was safe and in good health. He told his parents that he was getting "tougher and stronger every day.” adding that he “didn’t mind fighting because I feel that I have lots to fight for.” The young corporal attended the Roper school and was reported to have been a very smart and well be haved young man. Prior to joining the Army he was very helpful and dutiful to his parents and worked dil igently on the farm. j TOP SERGEANT BERRY TAKES ORDERS | J Wallace Berry, as Sergeant “Hap" Doan, takes orders from his su perior, Lewis Stone, playing Colonel Lawton, in the drama, “The Bugle Sounds," at the Plymouth Theatre Monday and Tuesday.

Set on a college campus at the height of the football season, “Rise and Shine” has several new Robin and Rainger songs, dances, girls, laughs and fun. And the story is ta ken from James Thurber's mad, mad. autobiography “My Life and Hard Times.” With Clayton College expecteing its biggest year on the gridiron, foot ball star Jack Oakie is sent to live at Professor Donald Meek’s home. On the scene comes Murphy, a for mer All-American, and Raymond Walburn and Ruth Donnelly, a down at the heel couple posing as retired educators. Murphy goes for Linda Darnell and helps her keep Oakie in shape. When Sheldon Leonard wants the football player kept out of the big game, so he can bet on the opposition. Murphy rebels. He takes all precautions to protect Oakie, but the star is kidnapped the night be fore by Milton Berle—who portrays a character called “Seabiseuit.” How he escapes makes a hilarious ending to a side-splitting comedy. Method of Getting Birth Certificates Raleigh. March 18.—Dr. Carl V. Reynolds' State Health Officer, has issued the following statement with respect to delayed birth certificates: “In view of the emergency, the rush for certified delayed birth certi ficates now is unprecedented. "The North Carolina law, as amen ded in 1941, provides that an appli cation for a delayed birth certificate be made to the register of deeds of the county in which the applicant was born, and not to the State Board of Health. If all applicants would bear this in mind, it would save much time now devoted to unneces sary correspondence and would in sure quicker service. A delayed certificate is the record of one who was born prior to Octo ber, 1913. Please bear this date in mind. If applicant needs instruc tion as to what proof is necessary, the register of deeds, in each in stance, will supply it. If the appli cant knows what proof is necessary and furnishes it, the register of deeds will see the matter through. “The only fees necessary are those prescribed by law to be paid registers of deeds for recording births and furnishing certified copies of certifi cates. “Only those persons born after October, 1913. should apply to the State Board of Health at Raleigh— all others to registers of deeds, as pointed out above."

Monday and Tuesday. The action is strictly authentic, ap proved by the War Department, which permitted two camera crews to ac company regular army troops on ma neuvers at Fort Knox, Ky.. and Fort Lewis. Washington. respectively. Beery journeyed to Fort Ord for ac tual scenes with the tank corps. Ac cordingly, when an avalanche of roar ing across the screen, it is the real thing. The story presents Beery as a first sergeant of cavalry with a record of 29 years in the service. He’s a slave driver and a martinet, but his men worship him and he Is a comfort to his superior officers. Stone As Colonel Lewis Stone is a commanding fig ure as the colonel, playing the role with the excellence to which the public has become accustomed through his long career. Donna Reed has the romantic feminine lead as the bride of William Lundigan, who appears as a selective service recruit in Beery’s platoon. Convincing performances are giv en by George Bancroft. Henry O’ Neill, Chill Wills, Tom Dugan, Guinn Williams and Jerome Cowan as the menacing sabateur. -<f> "Blues In Night" Is Due at Local Movie Theatre On Monday Sweet and Low Music Is Of fered In Film With New Plot For Bands Sweet and low-down. The soft wail of a muted trumpet. The dull pulsating rhythms of a brass drum. Music of the people. The streets. Of slamming doors and roaring trains. That's the sort of music you hear in "Blues In the Night,” the new War ner Bros.’ film, at the Plymouth Theatre Sunday. It is a down to earth story of barnstorming jazz band whose musicians have their own idea of what ‘‘swing music” means. In the starring roles are new-com er Richard Whorf, lovely Priscilla Lane and Betty Field. Besides such fine performers in the lead, the rest of i,he cast consists of one of the sea son's finest group of supporting players—Lloyd Nolan. Jack Carson, Elia Kazan, Wally Ford and many others. All contribute their share in making "Blues In The Night’’ some thing really different in the way of film musicals. This is not a film about a lot of beautiful girls in a night club, danc ing on extravagant sets, to the music of an orchestra that has more swank JACK OAKIE—THE REAL CHOWDERHEAD L---• The All American C’howderhcad lias his troubles on the field in the new comedy hit, Mark Hcllinger’s ‘Rise and Shine,” at the Plymouth Theatre Thursday and Friday of this week. That’s Jack Oakie car rying the ball, and it looks very much like Linda Darnell and George Murphy will have to carry him oil the field. DON’T TAKE THIS LYING DOWN . . .
