in threesomes, with each player keep

Plymouth Boys Come From
Behind In Ninth Inning
To Win 6-5
The Plymouth High School base
ball team opened the season last
Thursday with a 6 to 5 victory over
the Perquimans County High School
in Hertford with the locals coming
from behind in the ninth inning to
score the winning run.
Elmo Mayo held the Hertford boys
to five hits while the local hitters
were garnering eight blows off the
Hertford twirler. Ferlton Magee and
Roy Manning each smashed out a
double and each double accounted for
two runs. Shelton McNair sacrificed
Manning home to tie the score in the
eighth and the Plymouth boys got a
run in the ninth to win the game.
Tire schedule of the local boys calls
for only six games this season. The
schedule is as follows: April 2, Eliza
beth City here: April 7, Creswell here;
April 10, Creswell there; April 14,
Elizabeth City there and April 17,
Hertford here.
The lineup in the Hertford game
for the locals was as follows: Elmo
Mayo, pitcher; Pete Browning, catch
er; Roy Manning, first base; Alton
Mayo, second base; Felton Magee,
shortstop; Kenneth Williams, third
base; Calvin Basnight, leftfield; Lloyd
McNair, centerfield; Asa Rogers,
rightfield.
It was expalined that since the
school term ends on April 26, that
there would be no more games played
after the game with Hertford here
on April 17, as the students of the
school will have to prepare and take
their examinations during the re
maining days of the term.
Coach Louis Trunzo has been hold

Picture Here Today and To

It was inevitable that Spencer
| Tracy and Katherine Hepburn should
some day appear on the screen to
gether, and the union of these two
Academy Award winners In ‘ Woman
of the Year,” at the Plymouth thea
tre Thursday and Friday provides the
screen with a completely refreshing
and engrossing photoplay.
With Tracy tn a made-to-order
role as a newspaper sports writer and
the sparkling Miss Hepburn as a sleek
and sophisticated columnist on in
ternational affairs, the story unfolds
the meeting of these two opposite
personalities, their marriage, and the
clash of temperament between the
man who wants his wife to pre-oc
cupy herself with her home life and
the woman who, named “America’s
Outstanding Woman of the Year,”
believes she can combine marriage
and a career.
Tracy, in the role of the sports
writer, again offers that combina
tion of naturalness and dramatic
power which has made him one of
the greatest performers of the screen,
while Miss Hepburn has never been
more striking than in her present
portrayal as a woman who knows her
diplomats from the ground up but
who is completely ignorant of the
popular American pastime of base

Famous Best Selling Novel
Coming Next Week With
Impressive Cast
-$
At long last the dramatization of
Richard Llewellyn's best-selling nov
el, "How Green Was My Valley,” is
brought to the screen by 20th Cen
tury-Fox under the able productive
genius of Darryl F. Zanuck. Here is
the film that has been eagerly await
ed and from the accounts of preview
audiences it promises to fulfill the
expectations of the most discriminat
ing motion picture fan.
Tire keynote of this production
which is due Monday and Tuesday at
the Plymouth theatre is the fidelity
of its portrayal to the novel of the
same name. Laid against the color
ful background of a Welsh mining
village, “How Green Was My Valley”
brings to life the dynamic characters
who captivated the over five million
people who read the outstanding
book.
Seen through the eyes of the
youngest member of the family—
Huw Morgan—"How Green Was My
Valley” traces the threads of life of
the Morgan family over a period of
years—revealing their trials and loves
their joys and sorrows. It’s the brave
story of a family never conquered,
not by armed men or hardship, hun
ger or hate—nor by the turbulent
years that stole the greenness from
their Valley.
The featured cast is said to take
able command of the opportunity to
knit together a story that demanded
highly specialized dramatic ability.
Walter Pidgeon, cast as Mr. Gruf
fydd, the minister, is said to cap his
career with a splendid performance.
Beauteous Maureen O'Hara portrays
Angharad, the lovely Morgan daugh
ter, who captivates the pastor. Anna
