PAGE SIX T H E WATCHMAN THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 193» S U F F O L K A N D S T R A N D T H E A T R E S They say the climb to stardom in Hollywood is a long and slow one. But Mickey Rooney, the be loved Andy Hardy of The Hardy Family pictures, has reached that pinnacle in a few short years. You are about to see him in his first starring rtole in “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” at the Suf folk Theatre this Friday and Sat urday and at the Strand Theatre in Greenport next Wednesday and Thursday. Read by millions as a book, this immortal Mark Twain sequel to “Tom Sawyer” gives Mickey all the opportunity in the world to act a jjart that you’d think was made for him. Master Rooney was mighty proud to be the leading player in the show and decided that this was going to be his best picture to date, and after you view the result we are sure you’ll agree that Mickey kept his word. Walter Connolly and William Frawley also Rex Ingram head the list of important sup porting players. The exceptionally good short subjects on the same program include another in that fine Passing Parade series, “The Story of Dr. James,” the man who tool? the dread out'of small pox, described by John Nesbitt. “Chick en Jitters” a mighty funny car toon, and the latest Newsreel. One of the most thrilling dramas ever put on the screen is the story of that terryfying ride from Tonto to Lordsburg in the hey-day of the wild West, taken by nine strangers in the gripping picture “Stagecoach” at the Suffolk The atre next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Claire Trevor, a dance hall girl being run out of town, John Wayne, an escaped convict; Andy Devine, ' driver, who had eieht kids and a wife at home; John Carradine, a man of mys tery who forfeited his life; Thomas Mitchell, drunken doctor; Berton Churchill, respectable banker with a bag full of stolen money; Don- old Meek, chicken hearted sales man; Louise Platt,, snooty society wife, and George Bancroft, hard hitting U. S. Marshall. There you have the assorted conglomeration of humanity, jammed into a car eening stagecoach, beset on every side by danger and death, who took that fateful trip. “Pilot Boat,” an interesting short show ing the docking of a huge ocean liner, plus a fine cartoon, “Robin Hood Makes Good,” and the News will also appear on the program. If an evening or matinee of deep roofed, rib-busting laughter is not objectionable to you fhen your picture is “Never Say Die,” at the Suffolk next week on Wed nesday and Thursday, in which Bob Hope plays his funniest role to date ably assisted by Martha Raye. The most timely news of today is incorporated in the latest Crime Does Not Pay subject on the same program. It is “While America Sleeps,” the story of the foreign spy and his undercover work in this country. A cartoon and Paramount Pictorial will be shown also. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” one of literature’s most shocking and spine-chilling mystery stories and th^ greatest of all of Sherlock Holmes’ astounding adventures, has at last been transcribed to the screen. Tall, spare, hawk-like Basil Rathbone, in the perfect- fitting role of the great detective, is co-featured with Wendy Bar rie and Richard Greene in th' production which will be present ed at the Strand Theatre this Friday and Saturday. Many’s the time you’ve laugh-' at sweepstakes winners in the newsreels, but now’s your chanc? to laugh with them as well in Sudden Money,” a hilarious com edy about sweeps millionaires, which will be presented as the other picture on this program. Charlie Ruggles, who can’t be beat by any one when it comeg to playing the typical American husband and father, is back on the screen as the head of the family whose uproarious experi ences the film spotlights. Offering a glittering pageant of America’s progress as reflected in the victorious sweep of the world’s most illustrious dancing duo, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers bring to the screen as their latest offer ing, “The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle,” which begins its three-day showing at the Strand on Sunday, and will be shown at the Suffolk on Friday and Satur day of next week. The picture was filmed in Hollywood under the watchful eye of Mrs. Vernon Castle herself. As its title indicates, the picture tells the sensational story of Ver non and Irene Castle, who sky rocketed to fame overnight as the world’s greatest dancing team of the pre-war era. M A T T I T U C K T H E A T R E You’d never think of Jimmy Cagney as a Western bad man, because he has always been asso ciated with tough, city gangster roles. However if you think that transplanting Jimmy out West has softened him up any wait until you see him as “The Oklahoma Kid” in the picture of the same name playing at the Mattituck theatre this Sunday and Monday. Here is a piece of American his tory that deals with the first set tlement by white men of what was then called “The Cherokee Strip” but is known now as the State of Oklahoma. It’s Jimmy Cagney’s and Humphrey Bogart’s best picture, and they are ably assisted by Rosemary Lane, Don ald Crisp and a mighty cast of three thousand. A thoroughly satisfying bit of motion picture entertainment, from every angle, is the new Bing Crosby comedy, “Paris Honey moon,” which will appear on the screen of the Mattituck Theatre Friday and Saturday. Headed by Bing himself at his very best, the cast boasts of Shirley Ross and Franciska Gaal, Akim Tamiroff, in a comedy role, Edward Everett Horton, Ben Blue and many others. Worthy of note is the music in the picture. You have probably heard some of the tunes o nthe radio already, but if you want to tear them Ss Bing isings them, and they were written for Bing, you must see “Paris Honey moon.” The songs are “I Have Eyes,” “The Funny Old Hills,” “You’re a Sweet Little Headache” and “Joobalai.” On Tuesday and Wednesday this theatre brings one of the screen’s greatest character actors to you in a fine down to earth role, that is Charles Laughton • in “The Beachcomber,” the picturesque tale of a typical loafer on the beach of a South Sea island. His drunken sprees are the bane of the more respectable populace’s life, but the joy of the regular crowd. The latest Newsreel will also be shown.
