NOTICE
On account of inadequate parking space
around the public square and congestion of traffic,
we are herewith requesting those who work in City
to park their cars, on Saturdays, off the Public
Square, thus affording the general trading public
more space for parking.
We believe this will help solve the problem of
double parking on Saturdays, and make it safer for
drivers and pedestrians.
We will thank you for your cooperation in
this matter.

ceived joy and pleasure from view
ing this fragrant display. The roses
were planted a few years ago and
the owners of the Pepperton Mills
have brought untold pleasure to
citizens of the county and tourists
by this act of civic spirit. Truly the
roses have been gorgeous this sea
son, a real flower show.

Wallace Beery,
Mickey Rooney,
At The Dixie
"THE BAD MAN,” "MAISIE WAS
A LADY,” "ANDY HARDY’S
PRIVATE SECRETARY” MAKE
SCREEN-JOY AT THE DIXIE
Wild Bill Elliott rides again Sat
urday in “Prairie Schooners,” with
Evelyn Young. These Wild Bill
Hickok adventures have made Bill
Elliott one of the most popular out
door stars on the screen today. Bob
Steele and Claire Carleton take the
lead in “The Great Train Robbery,”
a mystery picture that will have you
gasping in amazement.
“The Bad Man.” dramatic and
comical adventure story of the cat
tle ranges brings Wallace Beery to
the Dixie Monday and Tuesday in
his most picturesque role since “Vi
va Villa." He enacts Pancho Lo
pez, Robin Hood of the cow coun
try, in a whimsical adventure in
which he applies bandit ethics to
straighten out the lives of a group
of “tenderfeet” with dramatic and
sometimes ludicrous results. Lionel
Barrymore, Laraine Day, and Ron
ald Reagan complete the talented
cast.
Ann Sothern, Lew Ayres, and
Maureen O’Sullivan bring you an
other Maisie picture Wednesday,
this one being “Maisie Was a Lady.”
Maisie is a “headless woman” in a
sideshow who loses her job because
of an inebriated playboy, Lew Ayres.
She joins his family household as a
maid, rescues his sister from the
clutches of a fortune hunter, saves
her from suicide, and reforms Ayres
and his wealthy clubman father.
Same old Maisie.
Thursday and Friday bring even
more fun in the person of “Andy
Hardy’s Private Secretary,” starring
the inimitable Mickey Rooney, the
lovely Ann Rutherford, the suave
Lewis Stone, and the brilliant new
comer, Kathryn Grayson. Andy
X
very nearly doesn’t graduate from
'*
high school, but manages barely to
scrape through after the expected
romantic, hilarious, and academic
complications. It’s the best Hardy
picture yet.
