It was pointed out by Mr. Terry that the fishing license for the past year amounted to less than $100. The hunting license sales were about $200 above the year of 1940. ac cording to Mr. Terry, who said that the sales would have even been higher than the $2,169 total mentioned above if the war that started on December 7, had not deterred many huntsmen from visiting this county. It was reminded by Mr. Terry that hunting license were sold in this county by Blount’s Hardware Store and C. R. Bowen in Plymouth; Joe Baker Davenport at Creswell; Harry Barnes at Cherry.

Chap. 3 “Gang Busters” “Pampas Paddock” Gay Comedy Coming To Local Movie For 2 Days Next Week “The Male Animal" Has Fine Cast of Stars In Great College Story One of the most charming come dies of the season, Warner Bros.' “The Male Animal,’' at the Plymouth theatre, Monday and Tuesday, is a sparkling film that brings together three grand performers—Henry Fon da. Olivia de Havilland and Joan Les lie. It has a delightful story that will take you out of the realm of worry and trouble, with comedy that is both riotous and plausible. The setting for “The Male Animal" is Midwestern University, a college as typical as its name, with its usual en thusiastic scholars and equally en thusiastic alumni, who use every an niversary as an excuse to reminisce about “the days when they attended the university.” Among the more genial of professors, is one Tommy Turner, played by Henry Fonda, whose sense of right and wrong gets him into trouble with the college au thorities. His wife, portrayed by live ly Olivia de Havilland, is sympathe tic with him, and realizes the impor tance of his work, but she likes to have her fun. The fun is provided when an old classmate (and ex-football hero) portrayed by Jack Carson, comes back from the big game. He and Olivia become a bit more friendly than old acquaintanceship warrants (at least from Fonda’s point of view) and another trouble is piled upon the professor’s back. But that isn’t the end of his worries. His sister-in-law, played by Joan Leslie, has a quarrel with her boyfriend and they involve the unfortunate instructor in the midst of it. Conrad Veidt Stars In Gripping Drama Saboteurs at Work “Nazi Agent” Film Comes to Local Theatre on Wednesday For Day Two characters in the person of one man will astonish audiences at the Plymouth theatre, Wednesday where Conrad Veidt provides another of his cinematic surprises in “Nazi Agent.’’ In this picture he plays a dual role as twin brothers; one a gen tle, kindly man, the other a ruthless leader of a sabotage ring in a great city. So utterly dissimilar are the characters that it is difficult to be lieve them to be the same man. v The story deals with a sabotage leader who enmeshes his kindly bro ther in his plots. There is a quarrel in which one brother accidentally shoots the other, and on the sabo teur’s death his brother takes on his identy, to carry out a masquerade that breaks up the ring. The romance is between Veidt as the masquerading brother and Ann Ayers, new Hollywood glamour dis covery, who plays a girl enmeshed in the spy plot, and who alone realizes the good character behind the mas querade. Veidt plays his two characters with infinite attention to detail, and Miss Ayars proves her worth as a drama tic actress. Dorothy Tree provides a bit of unusual characterization as the good brother's secretary, who is in reality an agent of the spy ring. The rubber in four pairs of men’s overshoes would make a single pair of army galoshes, 60 containers for 75-mm shells can be made from a pile of 100 old newspapers, and one pound of brass pipe contains enough metal to make eighteen .30 cal. cartridges. liberty limericks There wa* a young tanner named John, Vho said to himself— I swan!

The story of political intrigue casts Veidt in a dual role of twin brothers. Miss Ayars is the object of his affections. Bette Davis Stars In Broadway Stage Hit Now on Screen ‘Man Who Came to Dinner’ at Plymouth Theatre Today and Friday Imagine Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan four penguins, the only bearded star in Hollywood, a mummy case, the biggest nose in movies, an octopus and a giant tree piled high with Christmas gifts and you'll have some idea of the goings on in the picture called "The Man Who Came To Din ner,’’ which ran as a play for two years on Broadway and the road. The Warner Bros.' film version plays at Plymouth theatre today and Fri day. Monty Woolley, of the New York production, is the bearded star, and it is he who creates the havoc in a perfectly blissful family, when, in vited to dinner, he slips on an icy porch and breaks his hip. Confined to his chair, Monty makes his stay to dinner something to be re membered. For one thing, it lasts four weeks, but it also involves send ing the family upstairs, forbidding them to use their phone while he calls the world over and urges their child ren to elope and hop freighters Singa pore-bound. And fills the house with the strangest people. Bette Davis says that in “The Man Who Came To Dinner'’ she is "a pit cher throwing a change of pace.” She plays a deadpan, satirical secretary. But this is one picture in which she falls in love, stays in love and actual ly is alive at the end to get her man and presumably live happily ever af ter. “Her man” is her own find, Rich ard Travis, six-two, big and blond. She saw him in a service-short and couldn’t help crying, “That’s for me’ ” So Dick Travis sits among the pen guins, the octopus, Ann Sheridan, Jimmy Durante, Reggis Gardiner and and all the others. Youth Is On Parade In "Born To Sing," Lively, Music Film Sunday’s Picture Presents Youthful Actors In Dra ma With Music Its climax an impressive presenta tion of "Ballad for Americans," popu lar patriotic song hit, "Born to Sing” presents a cast of youthful singing, dancing and acting prodigies, includ ing several "discoveries,” in a stream lined blend of harmony and drama. The picture, with Virginia Weidler, PIES Apple - Peach - Raisin Mince Meat - Cocoanut 10* EACH HASSELL Bros. BAKERY Ray McDonald and Leo Gorcey head ing the cast at the Plymouth theatre Sunday. The story concerns the daughter of a composer, played by Miss Weidler, whose father's music has been stolen by a Broadway producer. She enlists the aid of a group of youngsters, headed by Ray McDonald, who. in at tempting to obtain justice for the composer, get into police difficulties, escape from a patrol wagon with a racketeer, and while hiding from the police, set out to produce the com poser’s show before its Broadway pre sentation, to prove its authorship. The climax of the show is "Ballad for Americans." presented as a musi cal spectacle with a huge chorus de picting every element in American life, with Douglas McPhail, youthful baritone, as soloist.
