THE YANCEY RECORD - SUB. RATES: SI.OO YEAR. FAMOUS “SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON” WILL BE PRESENTED HERE NEXT WEEK Sparkling with action and drama, Gene Towne’s and Graham Baker’s pro duction for RKG Radio of Johann David Wyss’ im mortal human story, “Swiss Family Robinson” will be shown next Monday and Tuesday at the Yancey Theatre. f’ew stories have captur ed the world’s imagination as has this 130-year-old tale of adventure and peril on a South Sea island, a tale that has been a best seller for more than a cen tury. The adventure takes place during the Napoleo nic era when all Europe was harassed by war un certainty. Robinson, a wealthy Swiss watchmaker in London, sells everything he has and sets out with his family to begin a new life in distant Australia. tf ‘ In the South Seas a storm wrecks their vessel. Only the Robinsons survive. When the waves subside they, build a raft, ferrjf themselves and some live stock, tools an<i clothing to a near-by . island, a tropi cal" paradise alive with gay colored birds and strange animals. —- —~ Their subsequent diffi culties, and the daily ex citement and thrills of their picturesque lives, all contrast vividly with the emotional drama of the story. Thomas Mitchell and Edna Best play the elder Robinsons, with the four boys being portrayed- by the other fbur featured players, Tim "Holt, Freddie Bartholomew,-.Terry Kil burn and little Bobby Quillan. . The settings of the pic ture, especially the trophic island sequences, are rated as among most unique and intriguing ever shown on the *screen for they | bring to life all the high lights of the familiar tale.
