The new picture has Gene Tierney rising from shop-girl to debutante in one fell swoop, when Spring Bying ton and Laird Cregar decide to use ; her as bait to trap a millionaire into parting with his cash. The 'million aire' turns out to be Fonda and they get away with all the money he has I in the world. This puts Gene on the spot since she has already fallen in love with him, and the balance of the picture keeps her worrying that he'll find lout about her. In his turn. Hank Fonda gets in a 1 gambling spree that is a key to the I hilarity of the film. As jackpot af ter jackpot comes through. Hank's discomfiture is even more complete. In addition to the two stars. Laird Cregar, Spring Byington. John Shep perd and Henry Stephenson are said to turn in great acting jobs to keep the film paced for laughs. 250,000 Pounds of Rubber Donated -$ Releigh.—Long before the present rubber salvage drive began, tire N.

How much junk rubber is lying around your house? How many broken hot water bottles and old overshoes and worn-out tires? Scrap rubber has a wartime job to do. Scrap rubber refined into reclaimed rubber and mixed with crude rubber from our stockpile wil help keep the whels oiling toward victory! All the reclaimed rubber needed to manu facture the rubber parts of a pur suit plane could come from three discarded tires or nine 20-foot lengths of rubber hose. An old pair of four-buckle arctics would provide enough reclaimed rubber for an Army raincoat and an inner tube would yield enough for ten civilian gas masks. old worn out tires, according to Aus tin, and further efforts are being made during the present drive to secure all. available rubber from pris on camps, district shops and other highway commission buildings throughout the state. 1 AT LOCAL THEATRE MONDAY-TUESDAY I--- . -> Lou Costello struggles with a wr scene from Abbot and Costello's lau Plymouth Theatre next Monday ar Gargan and Dick Foran also appear Novel Musi-Comedy Al Local Theatre Owl Show Saturday “Moonlight in Hawaii” Pre sents Large Number Well-Known Stars -•/——• Starring Jane Frazee.
