Cesar Romero,
Madeline Carroll,
At The Dixie
"TALL, DARK, AND HANDSOME”
WITH "BLONDE INSPIRA
TION” AND “VIRGINIA” PRO
VIDE SUPERLATIVE PROGRAM
Charles Starrett, the handsome
six-gun slinger-singer, will be seen
Saturday in “West of the Abilene”
with Marjorie Cooley and the Sons
of the Pioneers. Dennis O’Keefe,
as "Mr. District Attorney,” brings
a thrill-packed melodrama of Man
hattan with a surprisingly good sup
porting cast consisting of Florence
Rice, Peter Lorre, and Stanley Rid
ges.
Monday and Tuesday finds Cesar
Romero, who definitely fills the
bill, starred in “Tall, Dark, and
Handsome,” with the up-and-com
ing-fast Virginia Gimore, Charlotte
Greenwood, and Milton Berle. Rom
ero is a soft-hearted lord of the un
derworld who has established a repu
tation of being the toughest killer
in the Windy City, but has never
spilled a drop of blood. When the
boss of the rival gang discovers his
hoax and takes him for the well
known ride, there’s action aplenty
for everybody.
John Shelton, newly-established
romantic star, and Virginia Grey,
who fits the title perfectly, are star
red Wednesday in “Blonde Inspira
tion.” Albert Dekker and Charles
Butterworth provide intrigue and
comedy respectively. Shelton gets
$2,000 from his uncle and sets out
on a literary career but falls into
the clutches of the Dekker-Butter
worth combine. Virginia Grey, sec
retary to Dekker-Butterworth, keeps
Shelton inspired through all his
tribulations and in the end, as usual,
boy gets girl and everybody is happy.
Madeline Carroll and Fred Mac-
Murray score Thursday and Friday
in “Virginia,” a story of the old
South that is heart-warming and ma
jestic. Filmed against the beauti
ful backgrounds of the state after
which the picture is named, much
of its charm is attributable to the
use of technicolor photography.
Stirling Hayden, handsome new
comer, will cause palpitation of many
a feminine heart.

3-Way Plan Aids Many Groups
B, ■
More cotton clothing, less cotton in the warehouse, more food on the
pantry shelf those are the aims of the new Supplementary Cotton Pro
gram of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Not only farm people, but
also merchants, manufacturers, laborers, and others who help turn cot
ton into finished goods will be assisted by the three-fold plan. Under
this program, farmers who make a further voluntary reduction in their
cotton acreage in 1941 may earn cotton stamps, which they can use in
their local stores to buy cotton goods. A special $3 payment also w’ill
encourage home food production. Symbolic of what the program offers
are the cotton coat and dress worn by the farm girl above; the row
of cotton bales, of which there is a surplus of more than 10 million; and
shelves of home-canned food direct from the family garden.
