SHOWS FOR WEEK
AT DEAN THEATRE
Sun. &Mon.: “Lady For a Night”,
a stf-ty of smart blend of music,
drama, comedy and good perform
ances enhanced by an interesting
production background. Post Civil
War Memphis is the local and Joan
Blondel is the girl who wants to
mingle with the “quality folks” in
stead of runnig a gambling joint.
She got what she wanted; with it
go headaches and ostracism. She
bought her way to the other side
of the tracks. She wanted to be
with the quality folks, but she
found her owfl kind were better. A
warm, human story of a girl with
ambition—she had a dream—it
turned out to be a night mare. Co-
starring with Miss Blondel is John
Wayne, supporting are Ray Middle-
ton, Edith Barrett, Montague Love
and others.
Wed. & Thurs.: Grade Allen &
Wm. Post in “Mr. & Mrs North.” Al-
60 Lynn Barri and Mary Beth
Hughes in “Night Before the Di
vorce.”
Fri. & Sat.: Joe E. Brown in “Shut
My Big Mouth.” Also Johnny Mack
Brown in “The Masked Rider.”
More than one question mark
will be cleared from Georgia's po
litical horizon July 4 when Eugene
Talmadge opens his campaign at
Moultrie. Announcement in major
races, as heretofore, will await Tal-
madge's decision and will some
what depend upon which ring holds
his hat when that rally is over.
The bill of Moultrie and Colquitt
county, made through the Board of
County Commissioners, Moultrie
Chambers of Commerce and farm
ers of that section, For the season's
political classic was apeepted, and
plans are completed for the oc
casion.
Regulation doubling the allow
ance of gasoline up to July 15, is
expected to swell the crowds be
yond first expectations. Officials
in charge of the rally-celebration
are preparing for such a record-
breaking crowd as assembled at
Albany two years before. That,
some have said, was the biggest
crowd ever to gather in Georgia
for a political speech.
Fourth of July political rallies
became an institution in Georgia
on the days when Bob Toombs and
Alex Stephens, and prominent men
of that day campaigned from the
stump. Eugene Talmadge, more
than any other man, has re-estab
lished that institution and brought
campaign issues out before the
people.
Talmadge's friends insist that the
Governor will be at his best at the
Moultrie meeting, and that the
stress ofwar-time has added re
sponsibilities and made issues
which will • lend themselves to
flights of oratory and demand
sound reason.
