REASON DE LUXE
It happened in night court.
The drunk swayed before the
judge.
"This is the sixth' time you've
been brought before me on a
charge of drunkenness," cried the
annoyed judge. "What's the mat
ter with you?"
He paused for a reply. The
stew's head kept bobbing up and
down aimlessly. The judge shrug
ged. This guy was hopeless.
"Guilty or not guilty?" droned
the judge.
The drunk looked up biearily.
"Guilty," he hiccoughed. "With
an explanashun."
The judge glared at him impa
tiently.
"Very well," said the justice.
"What is your explanation for
being drunk this time?"
The stew moved closer.
"Jus thish, your honor," he
confided. "I drank too much!" '

"Our Town"
Sheu)'at Elk
Theatre Here
By far one of the greatest and
most stirring pictures ever to be
made in Hollywood will be un
reeled Monday at the Elk theatre
here when Elkin audiences will
have opportunity to see Thorn
ton Wilder's Pulitzer prize-win
ning play "Our Town."
"Our Town" was brilliantly di
rected by Sam Wood, who was
responsible for the eminently suc
cessful "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," and
it is being released under the
auspices of United Artists. An
outstanding cast of stars headed
by Martha Scott, William Holden,
Frank Craven, Thomas Mitchell,
Fay Balnter, Beulah Bondi,
Stuart Erwin, Guy Kibbee, Ruth
Tobey and many others enacts
the stirring and poignant story of
"Our Town" with unfailing bril
liance, drama and emotion.
Miss Scott, who created the
role of Emily in the New York
stage production, turns in a per
formance that is completely mov
ing and sincere, while William
Holden, portraying George Gibbs,
proves himself once again an
actor of great talent and out
standing brilliance. Thomas
Mitchell, as Dr. Gibbs, merits the
highest praise that words can
convey for acting that can only
be described as superbly moving
and unforgettably exciting. Frank
Craven, as the narrator, plays his
role with the adroitness and
deftness of a down-to-earth real
ist. And all the other perform
ances in "Our Town" rank with
the best the screen has ever pre
sented.
