“THE MAN I MARRY” AT DOLLY MON.-TUES. Universal Presents Doris Whalen, the Glamorous New Personality. While a playwright is shaping the destiny of his characters, a girl, in search of an author, moulds the destiny of the playwright against f.is will, in Universal’s romantic comedy, “The Man I Marry,” which opens at the Dolly Madison theatre on Monday. Then, to complete the campaign, she refashions his play ever his strenuous objection, helps turn it into a smash hit and turns him, from a woman hater, into a worshipper at her shrine. There had been an earlier worshipper at the same shrine, but the girl left him waiting at the altar. The star role in this modern hu morous romance is portrayed by Doris Nolan, a vibrant new movie personality who formerly scored on the New York stage in “Night of January 16th.” Her splendid acting talent is warmed by vivacious youthful beauty, which screen tests demonstrated to be even more vivid for films than it had proved prev- Dolly Madison Mon.-Tues., Nov. 30-Dec. 1 i* * * *\ ..

The woman-hating playwright is given reality by Michael Whalen, who is remembered for his excel lent work in “Sind, Baby, Sing,” “Poor Little Rich Girl” and “Pro fessional Soldier.” The part of Doris Nolan’s uncle, a theatrical producer, is played by Nigel Bruce. He scored in “Under Two Flags,” “The White Angel,” “Charge of the Light Brigade” and “Treasure Island. The producer’s society wife, and Doris Nolan’s marriage manipulat ing aunt, is portrayed by Marjorie I Gateson. She made a hit in such plays as ‘Street Scene” and “The Love Letter.” Her picture roles in clude parts in “Goin’ to Town,” “Operator 13,” “The Milky Way” and “The First Baby.” The comedy of "The Man I Mar ry” is developed in the situations and the swiftly volleying dialogue which was written for the screen play by Harry Clork. The three mirthmakers who accentuate the fun in the offering are “Chic” Sale, Skeets Gallagher and Cliff Edwards. They first gained popularity in vaudeville and in stage productions. Cliff Edwards also won favor on the radio as “Ukelele Ike.” The director, Ralph Murphy, made “The Man I Marry” from a story by M. Coates Webster. Mur phy earlier attracted the attention of he theatre world for his direc tion of ‘70,000 Witnesses.” LEGIONOFTERROR AT DOLLY MADISON To Play Here For One Day Only, Wednesday, Dec. 2nd. Ripped from sensational headlines cf recent months, telling one of the strangest stories ever to come from American life, is Columbia’s dra matic “Legion of Terror,” which is scheduled to open Wednesday at the Dolly Madison Theatre. Bruce Cabot, Marguerite Churchill and Crawford Weaver, a newcomer, head the cast. The activities of the infamous hooded legion that terrorized many communities in the mid-west pro vides the theme of the film, as the title may have hinted. Much excite ment is injected into the picture when the Federal Government, in the person of Postal Inspectors, go to work on the hQoded folk when tl>gy attempt to send a time-bomb through the mails. Cabot and Weaver are seen as the post office department’s sleuths. Arriving at the scene of the legion’s activities, they meet Miss Churchill, whose brother is waging a single handed fight against the lawless band. The two Federal men pose as sympathizers to inveigle their way into the good graces of the legion, and, boring from within, manage to bring the night riders to grief. “Legion of Terror” serves to in troduce Crawford Weaver to screen audiences. He has long been popu lar on the Broadway stage, but is making his first film appearance. Cabot has lately been seen in “Fu ry,” while Miss Churchill has re cently been featured in “Alibi for Murder” and “The Final Hour.” PERSON COUNTY TURKS ROXBORO, N. C. NEW SWING’TUNES IN WITHERS FILM Jane Wither* Here For Today and Tomorrow in HOariens New Hit. One of the outstanding features of the Twentieth Century-Fox pic ture “Can This Be Dixie?” in which Jane Withers is said to have scor ed the greatest success of her suc cessful career, is the lilting music and intriguing lyrics provided by the talented pens of Harry Akst and Sidney Clare. There are four swingy songs all with the tang of the old Southland. These are “Pick, Pick, Pickaninny,” Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a Cabaret Now,” Does You Wanna Go To Heaven ” and “It’s Julep Time in Dixieland.” Commenting on the trend of modern music, Harry Akst, who wrote the unforgettable “Dinah,” as well as “Am I Blue,” both of which contributed largely to the sensational success of Ethel Waters, credits Duke Ellington, famous or chestra leader, with contributing impressively to what he terms the “swing revolution.” “In ‘Pick, Pick Pickaninny’ which Clare and I have written for ‘Can This Be Dixie?’,” say Akst, “we hope that we have sounded the current note in popular music. I think jazz is the American musical tongue and further firmly believe that American jazz operas will some day get the same elaborate staging that is now accordnig to classic opera.” In “Can This Be Dixie?” diminu tive but dynamic Jane Withers es says an entirely new type of role and effectively demonstrates her amazing versatility. Directed by George Marshall, the uniformly fine and expert cast have provided a fine entertainment pictur, “Can This Be Dixie?” opens today at the Dolly Madison theatre. CHEVROLET OFFERS THANKS TO PUBLIC Public Bought 1,130,000 New 1936 Chevrolets and Company Deeply Appreciates This. The Chevrolet Motor Company today offered its thanks to the American people for having given the company the greatest year in its history by buying 1,130,000 new 1936 Chevrolets. In display advertisements printed in newspapers throughout the country, Chevrolet expressed its appreciation for the warm friend ship of the American people, which enabled the company to break all previous marks for domestic pro duction and sales. The Thanksgiving offering is con sidered unique in industrial adver tising, but Chevrolet has done it in the past. The company has depend ed largely on the newspapers of the country in establishing its all-time records in selling not only an un precedented number of new pass enger cars and trucks during 1936, but also in moving two million us ed cars at the same time. The advertisement, appearing to day, declared, in part: “The build ers of Chevrolet are thankful for many things, but most of all for the warm friendship of the American people. “All we can say is, Thanks a million’ for the more than a million cars in 1936; and all we can do is offer you the still finer Chevrolet of 1937 in return for the finest friendship ever bestowed upon any motor car manufacturer.” o Advertise In The Person County Times I We’re Thankful to Our Customers On This Thanksgiving Day Foreign Programs!
