The group from the Craven County capital got together and hired an old baseball bus to bring them to Plym outh, the tire and gas situation being like it is, and they had a fine match, but the sand traps and bunkers here, which have yet to be entirely success fully stormed by invading golfers, proved a little too much for the visi tors; and the local team, members of which are more than a little fami liar with the pitfalls along the way, managed to come out on top. Only one of the nine pairings of New Bern players won a match, Johnson and White topping Beam and McGowan, 2 to 1. In the other eight matches, the locals won six, while two were halved. Three of the local pairs made it a shut-out, defeat ing their opponents, 3 to 0. The matches were played on a best-ball of-pair basis, and following are the results, the Plymouth pair being list ed first in each grouping: Maples and Gooamon 3, McCanless and Billy Ferbee 0.

Olsen and Johnson, of course, play their own crackpot, screwball, zany selves just as they did in the New York play, and Miss Raye has the role of an overgrown kiddie vaude ville player. Writers Collaborate Nat Perrin and Warren Wilson co-authored the screen play which is based on an original story by Per rin. The production, of course, is suggested by the remarkable stage play.

BAKERY Milland, Goddard Appear Together In Spy Fun Film "The Lady Has Plans” To Show Here Tuesday of Next Week Only A romantic fun-for all with thrills galore is headed this way led by stars Rey Milland and Paulette Goddard. It is Paramount’s hiliarious spy-hunt movie, “The Lady Has Plans.“ which is due at the Plymouth Theatre next Tuesday only. From all accounts, it is a hilarious film, teeming with suspense and rac ing with action. Tire story revolves around an ace newscaster, Milland, who is stationed in Lisbon, from which intrigue-steeped city he tries to keep America posted on European goings-on. To get the news, and give it, he needs an assistant and it1 is Paulette Goddard who gets the as signment. - However, there are foreign spies at work to keep Paulette on this side of the Atlantic. Important U. S. navy plans have been stolen and a reproduction of them drawn in in visible ink on the back of beautiful spy Margaret Hayes. Margaret is to impersonate Paulette, and upon her arrival in Lisbon where foreign agents await her, is to sell the plans to the highest bidder. Due to an upset in the spies’ timetable, Paulette arrives in Lisbon and is mistaken for the lady with the plans—as funny a case of mistaken identity as ever entertained movie goers. In addition to Margaret Hayes, Milland and Poulette Goddard get support from Roland Young, Albert Dekker and Cecil Kellaway, all of whom are exceptionally fine actors. AVERTED'BLOODSHED The late Mapor General Smedley D. Butler of the United States Ma rines once received a massive silver cup in China for averting bloodshed there in the troubled days of 1929. Navy aircraft carriers are the fast est of any big ships, and almost as fast as destroyers. TO SHOW HERE NEXT MONDAY ONLY L. ■ ■ ..——...— " .. . —MKBaWaWtM:.'.. . J J Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullivan upset movie precedent with their romantic-comedy portrayals in “Appointment for Love,” at the Plymouth Theatre next Monday, for one day only. Bita Johnson, Eugene Pallett, Ruth Terry and Reginald Denny round out the cast. Margaret Sullivan And Charles Boyer Show Here Monday “Appointment for Love” Film Play Is Merry, Mad Design for Loving Since Shakespear immortalized the balcony in "Romeo and Juilet" as a trysting place, the crying need of the film story has been a contem porary love-setting equivalent. Sur prisingly, not one,but two, sure-fire rendezvous lend diverting sidelights to Universal’s "Appointment for Love,” which comes to the Plymouth Theatre Monday to vindicate the mo dern screen-writers’ claims for em ploying comparable scenic wherewith al for the business of the clinch. New York Locale A penthouse view of New York is Gas Rationing and Tire Shortage May Help Increase Country Club Popularity Officers of the country club of Plymouth are planning to make the club an outstanding recrea tion center for the people of this section during the summer months, with a varied program of golf activities and dances to be offered frequently. The shortage of automobile tires and gasoline rationing will make it difficult for many peo ple to take their usual week-end trips to beaches and other re sort places, and naturally amuse ment and recreation centers more convenient should profit by this state of affairs. The greens on the golf course at the club here are just about perfect at this season of the year, and they com pare favorably with those to be found anywhere in the nation. The clubhouse is also an ideal place to entertain parties, ban quets and social events of every kind, the facilities being superior to any other like place in the section. Mrs. Mary Hortom is in charge of the public dining room at the club, and it is not necessary to be a club member to get meals there. Local people who are wonder ing about their diversions dur ing the coming months are in vited to consider the advantages of membership in the club. The rates are very reasonable, and any meml>e>" r officer of the club will be delighted to give those interest, d all the necessary in formation about securing mem bership. one of the artifices, while the second “sure-fire” background is a secluded up-state hunting lodge. In both situations, Charles Boyer and Mar garet Sullivan, as co-stars of '‘Ap pointment for Love,” find idyllic sur roundings for romantic interludes in the streamlined, racily modern play. While these supply the romantic potential, the play gains hectic com edy momentum through the frustra ted efforts of the two principals to align their lives one with the other. For Boyer, portraying a Broadway playwright and a definite part of the night life that is known as cafe so ciety, and Miss Sullivan, chic but professional in the role of a doctor, encounter no end of difficulty in syn chronizing their domestic lives. Complications Added Complications are added when Miss Spllivan, after marrying ardent Mr. Bowyer insists upon maintaining her separate apartment. Adding talented highlights to the comedy-drama are Rita Johnson, Eu gene Pallette, Ruth Terry, Reginald Denny, J. M. Kerfrigan and others in key roles.
