Powell Breaks All Dancing Records in Fasi New Musical -- “Ship Ahoy” Also Brings Red Skelton and Host of Other Stars -® With what appars to be effortless grace, Eleanor Powell cracks all danc ing records in a group of striking new routines in her latest Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer picture, “'Ship Ahoy,” at the Plymouth Theatre next Monday and Tuesday. She invariably brings a new dance novelty to every picture, but this time there are five. She has a lovely chorus of Hollywood lovelies to aid and abet her. Dancing, however, is not all that makes this picture highly entertain ing. Red Skelton's comedy, with that of Virginia O'Brien "and Bert Lahr, combine with the lilting music of Tommy Dorsey’s famous orchestra. First rate supporting roles are played by William Post, Jr., Stuart Crawford and Bernard Nedell, with top-flight direction by Eddie Buzzell. The story carries Miss Powell as an innocent victim of saboteurs into a colorful Latin-American atmos phere, where Red Skelton promptly falls in love with her. The plot is gay and exciting. Skelton Sings Miss O'Brien sings a comedy song, and Lahr has one called "I’ll Take Tallulah” that rocked the audience with mirth. Skelton even ventures a song, but mostly limits his part to the comedy in which he excels. Miss Powell presents five novels tap dances. One of them is singu larly original. She actually taps out a Morse code message with her twinkling toes. The other dances in cludes a specialty in which Miss Pow ell imitates a bull fighter, a clever soft shoe routine and a tap in rhy thm with Buddy Rich, ace tap drum mer of Dorsey’s orchestra. -* Matthew R. Martin Getting Bombardier Training in Texas -<?> Ellington Field, Tex.—Learning to day to fill his destiny as a slam-bang ing Air Force bombardier is Matthew Ransome Martin, an exceptional Plymouth aviation cadet in the cur rent class here at the world’s largest multi-moror flying school. At Ellington he is undergoing in tensive training that will fit him for his post on the finest combat precis ion team, the air crew. The air crew, consisting of pilot, navigator and bombardier, all receive their train ing at Ellington. Learning the basic rules of bom bardering from an Air Force war wagon is a full-time job for these fighters, but even after their course here they will not be quite ready to launch forth on their mission against the enemy. From here they will go on to advanced bombardier schools, from which they will receive their commissions as second lieutenants in the U. S. Air Force Reserve. Before signing up as an Aviation cadet, Martin, who is now 23, was in the United States Navy as a radio man, second class. Three of the six years he put in as a radioman were done in submarine service. Now he clumbs upward as he prepared to as cend to the skies of victory. An old World War I field, which was rebuilt two years ago, Ellington Field is now one of the most modern air bases anywhere. Where creaky ‘Jennys” once took off from unpaved runways and were housed in rickety hangers, swift multi-motored train ing ships now operate on the great est network of concerete ramps and runways in the world and are main tained and serviced in huge, up-to date steel and concrete hangars. The battleship can deliver the hardest blow and take more punish ment than any other type of ship. - LIGHT WHITE FLOUR Makes Cakes Better Than Any Other Kind and Can Be Used According To 'Any Recipe H.

Battling — and battering1 - each other to a standstill, two of Holly wood's most likable “tough guys” come to the Plymouth Theatre Sun day in Columbia's hectic Two Yanks in Trinidad.” Hailed as the season’s fightn'est free-for-all of thrills and laughter, with Pat O'Brien and Brian Donlevy slugging each other and ev-1 erybody else in sight, "Two Yanks in Trinidad” is said to be a rib-tickling, blood-tingling story of America's dan ger-stalked defense outposts. The new film, in which lovely Janet Blair shares stellar honors with the fist-slinging stars, w'as directed by Gregory Ratoff. past master of mo tion picture comedy and excitement. Samuel Bischoff produced the pic rative of 1942's A.E.F. New York Bride, Roger Clark and John Emery. “Two Yanks in Trinidad.' as its name implies, is the fight-filled nar ture, whose cast includes Donald Me ls too small a town to contain, in peace and plenty, the "gentlemanly” racketeers portrayed by Messrs. O'Brien and Donlevy. Pat is forced to dodge the mobsters thrust upon him by his erstwhile “pal”; he joins the Army and discovers he likes it. Donlevy, determined to put Pat on the well-known spot joins the Army with a bunch of his boys and dis 1 AT PLYMOUTH THEATRE NEXT SUNDAY ] L.___—---1 Pat O’Brien, Janet Blair and Brian Donlevy in a scene from “Two Yanks in Trindad,” which comes to the Plymouth Theatre Sunday for one day only. Frank Jenks and Donald MacBride are also featured. covers he doesn't like it. He likes the Army even less when, winding up in Trinidad, he finds that Pat has an nexed the prettiest girl in town. Miss Blair thus figures as an add ed reason for the military discord which enlivens "Two Yanks in Trini dad,” a fact that she uses to advan tage in her career as a cafe hostess. But the private war between Pat and Brian, which makes them headaches in uniform to their superiors, trans cends even such lovelies as Miss Blair. About the only thing to top it is the bigger war with which the soldiers be come involved, a major conflict which leads to the excitement-thundering action of a spy hunt and an enemy plot to destroy the U. S. Fleet by means of deliberately-losened mine fields in the harbor at Trinidad. Hollywood has greeted "Two Yanks PRIVATE- JOE PALOOKA " ^iSAXS-) S' IF YOU CAN'T JOIN UP WITH Y.

Miss Blair, in particular, merits the stardom for which she is striving, while the performances of the “two Yanks" leads to the belief that they make a star team of resource and ef fect. i PLEASANT GROVE —%— Miss Virginia Tarkenton, of a Ral eigh Business School, spent the week end here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
