“Marie Antoinette”
To Be Featured
At Dixie Theatre
“MARIE ANTOINETTE” ON FOR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WIL
LIAM BOYD IN HOPALONG
CASSIDAY ROLE SATURDAY
The double feature Saturday is
William Boyd in “Pride of The
West” and June Travis and Robert
Livingston in “Federal Man-Hunt.”
The men who wrote the history
of aviation in heroic letters across
the sky during the past thirty-five
years are glorified in Paramount’s
great cavalcade of the air, “Men
With Wings.” This Technicolor pic
ture, which plays Monday and Tues
day at the Dixie Theatre, tells a
stirring story of mankind’s conquest
of the air, as reflected in the lives
of three young folks.
Opening at the historic moment
in 1903 when the Wright Brothers
fly their first plane over the dunes
at' Kitty Hawk, “Men With W’ings”
tells the story of three young Amer
icans whose lives are bound up with
aviation and who share in its strug
gles, disappointments and triumphs
over three decades.
Fred Mac Murray, Ray Milland and
Louise Campbell play the three pio
neers of the air who devote their
lives to the progress of aviation
from the day the girl’s father is kill
ed in one of the first airplanes.
Caught up in the surge of aviation’s
forward march, they are carried by
it toward a destiny they cannot es
cape.
ZIPP _ IT’S ON
THE JACKSON PROGRESS .*RGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
On the day they perfect their first
plane and begin to manufacture it,
the World War breaks out, separat
ing them for the first time in their
lives. All the subsequent epoch
making events of aviation are bound
up with their own experiences—the
flying of the first airmail, the plane
building boom of the Coolidge era,
Lindbergh’s hop from New York to
Paris, the 1929 crash and subsequent
disillusion, the rebirth of plane
building in the armament race and
finally, the round-the-world passen
ger service of the present.
The attraction Wednesday is Bob
by Breen in “Breaking The Ice.”
Superb in every essential of a
truly great motion picture, “Marie
Antoinette,” which shows Thursday
and Friday at the Dixie Theatre, is
the peak of two careers, those of
Norma Shearer and Tyrone Power.
It is their story, this revealing,
often breathless and always enthrall
ing drama of the last Queen of
France and the one man who could
completely love and trust, the hand
some, gallant Count Axel de Fersen.
Their romance is woven like a
golden thread through some of the
most spectacular scenes ever filmed,
Antoinette’s arrival at the Palace of
Versailles, her marriage, the gay
gambling hall where she entertained
her fair-weather friends, the Duke
d’Orleans Ball, the escape of the
Royal Family to Varennes when
revolution threatened and mad Paris
when the guillotine heralded the
birth of the French Republic.
“Marie Antoinette” should go on
everyone’s “must see” list.
CARD OF THANKS

neighbors for their kindness and ex
pressions of sympathy during the

It saves more than half the time and drudgery and
all the damage caused to clothes with old-fashioned lines
and clothes pins.
The picture tells the story —hanging up clothes with
the ZIPPER . CLOTHESLINE is just that simple.
The Zipper of Brass construction runs along two
twisted wires, on rust proof bronze bearings, separating
the wires where desired, absolutely indestructable, fool
proof and rust-proof. Wire is triple galvanized steel
spring, rust-proof and is made to stand a breaking strain
of 1,000 pounds.
The Progress-Argus will give a Zipper Clothes Line
with each two year subscription. If your subscription is
paid to date, pay two years in advance and obtain this
household necessity. The offer applies to new subscribers.
