CAPITAL CAPERS
Plenty of action accents Warner
Bros.' Technicolor film. "The
: Younger Brothers," starring Wayne
Morris, Janis Paige. Bruce Ben
nett, Geraldine Brooks and Robert
Hutton. It shows at the Capital
Theatre here on Monday and Tues
day. This action-filled tale of the old
west is a unique combination of
fact and fiction. The Younger bro
thers were determined to regain
their lost ranch land which had
been pillaged, and they wanted
most of all to return to their homes.
The setting for "The Younger
Brothers" is laid against that sec
tion of the old west, which included
certain portions of Minnesota near
the Missouri border. Law and order
were in a constant state of clashing,
and in the midst of this atmosphere
moved the rugged Y'oungers.
The song writing team of Jay Liv
ingston and Ray Evans, composers
of "Buttons and Bows", provided
four new Hit Parade potentia.i for
Paramouul's "My Friend Irma,"
showing at the Capital here Thurs

When All Hope Was Gone He Turned To God
By:
This is a true story and had it's
beginning fifteen years ago in the
thriving city of Albany, Ga. A
young man who continued to feel
very, very badly, went to a Spec
ialist for a check-up, and was found
to be in the last stages of tubercul
osis. In four days after knowing his
condition, he left with his nurse
by train to enter a Sanitorium in
Albuquerque, New Mexica, where
he planned to undego treatment
under the care of Dr. Leroy S. Pe
ters who was at that time one of
the best known doctors in the treat
ment of that disease. A year passed,
and his case was considerested as
arrested, and he happily departed
for home. He soon took over his
business again, and for eight
months, all went well. Then al
most overnight, he suffered a
hemorrhage of the lungs and on
further examination, was found to
have developed a very serious
heart condition. Several doctors
were called in and they all agreed
that his case seemed a hopeless one
and told his heart-broken family to
keep him home as his days would
not be very long.

next door, came daily to see mm
nd would read to him by the hour.
On one occasion as he read, "With
God all things are possible: All
things are possible to him who be
lieves." The dying man cried out,
"Hey, wait a minute, Preacher, let
me see those words." As he read
these words from the Bible and
realized their great meaning, he
began to have hope, at first, only
a feeble ray, but after all it was a
beginning. After that morning, he
began to read God's promises every
waking moment, and as he told us
later, he read half the night. He
prayed continually, "Oh, Lord heal
me, for after all, only You can do
the impossible." The words, "Oh
Ye of little faith, why dost thou
doubt?" seemed to be forever In
his thoughts as the long days and
even longer nights slowly passed.
It had now been four months
since the doctors had told him that
his case seemed hopeless, and yet
he lived on, and continued to read,
pray and to hope. During one of the
visits of the loyal young Minister,
he told him that he wanted to hear
him preach and suggested that he
come by for him the next Sunday
As the day came, he, in spite of
the grave misgivings of his and
angry protests of his nurse, insist-
ed that they allow him to dress.
So when his friend stopped by, he
found him fully dressed and with
the exception of being a bit shaky
from long lying in bed, he looked
very, very handsome, or at least
his anxious family thought so. Mir
aculously, he stood the trip to
church well and on his return, in
sisted that he felt well enough to
sit up a while. And dear readers,
from that day on, he never remain-

REMINISCENCES
By: MRS. H. JOYNER
There's a dear little lady of Du
plin County whose three score and
ten years plus have failed to damp
en, her lovely and valiant spirit.
She, with her snow white hair, can
usually be seen, regardless of the
weather, going about all over the
little town where she lives, spread
ing cheer. For as we all know, she
ever has a cute smile and a kind
and cheerful word for everyone
regardless of station, race or creed.
She is a consistant visitor of the
sick and shut-ins. Well do I re
member when I was a stranger
there, and heart broken over the
condition of my little boy who had
suffered a broken" leg, regular
ly she would walk from across town
to visit and cheer me. Golden deeds
such as hers are not readily for
gotten. Surely these words were
made for Miss Lula Hinson, of
Kenansville, "For to know her, Is
to love her." '

his worst could hardly believe what
the pictures provea. tin nenri
nnrmal and 'his lungs seemed com
pletely healed as only the scars
remained. He was given permission
to go back to his work, although of
course cautioned to start off very
einwiv. and not overdo.
All this happened over fifteen
and at the present time,
he is still in fine condition. But
during all these years of good
health and prosperity, he has nev
er failed to remember that the
credit is God's, for only when he
turned to Him, did he begin to im
prove. "Man's extremity la Indeed
God's opportunity." He knows too
that God has blessed him material
ly as he 'is now one of the largest
real estate owners in the county
where he lives. He is very consci
entious ip trying to use the money
that God has given him to help
others who haven't been as fortu
nate. His close friends call him
"Santa Claus" because of his daily
kind deeds to others. And the
strange part is he declares that the
more he gives to the unfortunate,
the more that seems to come to
him. He leads a very busy, happy
and full life, but no matter how
busy he is, he always takes time
before leaving home in the morn
ing to humbly thank God for re
storing his health and to ask that
he be given an opportunity to help
some unfortunate to a better life.
The story you have just read is
a true one, for after all, I should
know. You see, he is my brother,

One of the screen's moat beautiful
actresses, Donna Heed, eo-aUr
with Alan Ladd ta Paramount'a
biasing drama of the newspaper
world, "Chicago Deadline," which
shows at the Capital here next
Wednesday.
It's getting so a farmer's daugh
ter isn't safe these days safe from
the movies, that is. The latest corn
fed beauty to forsake the farm for
fame is lovely Donna Reed, who co
stars with Alan Ladd in "Chicago
Deadline' whJch shows at tne
Capital Theatre here, in Kenans
ville Wednesday next only.
The Denison, Iowa, miss, who was
once a 4-H Girl, joins the ranks of
such rural-born actresses as Ann
Sheridan, Brenda Marshall, Jean
Peters and Coleen Gray, all of
whom had to remove hayseed from
their hair before making the trek
to the film capital.
In fact, until she arnvea in
Hollywood to attend college, Mis3
Reed had never worn high heels
or used a stick of makeup. And it
was her refreshing natural beauty
that won her a motion picture con
tract after she had been crowned
campus queen.
Nonetheless, she believes country
girls planning film careers should
be equipped with more than sun-
tans.
'Take all the dancing lessons
you can manage," she advises. "And
when you feel like giving up those
piano lessons, remember they may
come in handy later on. Acquire as
much poise as possible without be
coming artificial, and read all you
can on both sides of questions." It
worked for Donna Reed.
