ENTERTAINMENT Movies nvivivnnTrrn Volley Ball Comes To Plymouth High As Popular Sport Scores of Boys and Girls Engage In This Heal thy New Activity A new athletic activity has come to the Plymouth High School with the advent of volley ball, which has cap tured the fancy of both boys and girls who can be seen playing the game during the activity period immediate ly prior to the noon recess and at other times. The ball used is somewhat like the basketball but is smaller in size and the object of the players is to keep the ball in play by batting it back and forth across a net without it hitting the ground. Any number of persons may be on a side but usually only about seven or eight are used. As an intramural sport, it has prov en its worth at the school, dozens of boys and girls engage in the sport and it is becoming quite popular with the students. It was reported that Coach Louis Trunzo used his influence in intro ducing the game to the students. At least, he has been seen participating in the game for exercise and leading the other boys in the activity. Among those seen engaging in the sport are the members of last year's basketball teams of this term. The game is a very good form of exercise, and has proven advantageous to the students. Principal R. B. Trotman under the new schedule of the school which last week moved up the opening of the school in the morning to 8:25 and closing at 3:30 in the afternoon, thinks it is a great sport for the ac tivity period. The game is played generally on the old tennis court place on the grounds of the school. r. p LYMOUT THEATRE H 66Plymouth’s Community Asset?’ THURSDAY, FRIDAY APRIL 16-17 Thundering at you out of History’s Heart!

The scene is from “The Vanishing Vir ginian,” a drama of Southern life, at the Plymouth Theatre Tuesday. Berle In Lucky Role New Film Milton Berle may be cast as “Lucky” Cullen In his new pic ture, “A Gentleman at Heart,” 20th Century-Fox’s romantic comedy which is coming Monday to the Plymouth Theatre, but the part he plays in the film is any thing but “lucky.” Starring with Cesar Romero and Carole Landis in this satirical story of gang land invasion of the art world, Milton gets into one unfortunate predicament after the other, causing many of the hilarious highlights _of _this Jaugh-and thrills hit. Also featured in “A Gentle man at Heart” are J. Carrol Naish, Richard Derr, Rose Hob art, Jerome Cowan and Elisha Cook, Jr. The picture was di rected by Ray McCarey and pro duced by Walter Morosco. Stirring Story of Old West's History On Plymouth Screen “They Died With Their Boots On” Plays Here Today and Friday One of the most spectacular events in United States military history— General Custer’s last stand at Little Big Horn, Montana, is thrillingly re enacted on the screen in “They Died With Their Boots On” which will be the next attraction at the Plymouth theatre, Thursday and Friday. Errol Flynn portrays Custer in the film which is the first to deal entirely with the life of the famous American sol dier. Olivia de Havilland, Flynn’s lovely co-star in so many previous adventure films, plays the role of Elizabeth Bacon, who became Mrs. Custer. The battle of the Little Big Horn has been the subject of more contro versy and has been re-fought more often than any other American cam paign. Many historians are critical of what they call Custer’s sacrifice of his men. They call him a grand stander, a man who wore a uniform of black velvet and a red necktie. But all pay tribute to his courage. Colonel William A. Graham, one of the foremost authorities on the life and death of Custer, supplied many interesting sidelights on Custer’s story to the research department at Warner Bros., producers of the film. PIES Apple - Peach - Raisin Mince Meat - Cocoanut And Cherry 10< EACH HASSELL Bros. BAKERY Morgan and Others Score in Story of Cap'n Bob Yancey -« Virginia Family Comes to Life in “Vanishing Vir ginian” Tuesday -e> There is the flavor of American tradition and a warm atmosphere of family life in “The Vanishing Virgin ian,” at the Plymouth theatre, Tues day. The picture is based on the best selling biography by Rebecca Yan cey Williams. It closely follows the narrative, with Frank Morgan ap pearing in the title role as Cap’n Bob Yancey, the author's father. Morgan is completely in command of the fiery lovable character he impersonates. The story is without artificiality in plot or treatment. It is merely the account of Cap’n Bob Yancey, for many years the State’s Attorney for the City of Lynchburg, and his re markable family. The love of home and the lofty ideals fixed by him light the picture as they did the book. The two older daughters enter into their romances with his blessing alike with courage and fortitude, but always amusingly. Morgan plays Cap'n Bob to the life blustering and lovable at the same time. Spring Byington is completely endearing as his absent-minded but jealous wife, and Kathryn Grayson scores an outstanding success as Re becca Yancey, the daughter who wants to be a musician but who is forced to study painting because of family tradition. -<S> CATTLE Beef cattle production is rapidly coming into its own in the farm pro gram of Harnett County farmers, re ports T. D. O’Quinn, assistant farm agent of the N. C. State College Ex tension Service. Gangsters Take On Gestapo in Screen Play Here Sunday “All Through the Night” Presents “Killer” Bogart In Tilt With Enemies "All Through the Night.” which will have its first local showing at the Plymouth theatre Sunday stars Hum phrey Bogart, whose recent hit per formance in “The Maltese Falcon and “High Sierra” have put him in the very front ranks of popular film stars. For the first time since censorship decreed that the screen should glorify no criminal at the expense of officers of the law, cops are villains in this picture. And retired gangsters and their mobs step into the hero roles, by proving the coppers’ undoing! The picture is Warner Bros. “AH Through the Night,” and according to its star, Humphrey Bogart, it is right up the alley of a lot of his most ar dent fans, self-styled ex-mobsters. The cops, however, aren’t American flatfeet, which is why the ex-gang sters can mistreat them and reap ap plause not only from future audi ences but censorship organizations as well. They're Gestapo, operating in this country as secret agents and fifth columnists. The picture is a mystery comedy, with Bogart and Barton MacLane as retired mobsters who still retain their henchmen, and Peter Lorre, Conrad Veidt, Judith Anderson and others as "coppers.” Heroine Kaaren Verne starts with the wrong mob, too, but ends up in Bogart’s arms. -« GROWING All fall sown crops in Forsyth County have made good growth up to the present time, but alfalfa seeded in August has made especially good growth, reports R.
