PAGE SIX T H E WATCHMAN THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1939^ M A T T ITU C K T H E A T R E Spring could choose no more invigopting adjunct for raising spirits’ high than a new Deanna Durbin picture. And take it from us, with full consideration of the outstanding qualities of her pre vious films, “3 Smart Girls Grow Up” is Miss Durbin’s biggest, best and most captivating picture to date. It plays at the Mattituck on Friday and Saturday. Each of Deanna’s pictures is better than the predecessor and this one takes a long stride away from the other four. Despite the advertising she still isn’t grown up. She’s still the same sweet girl that audiences took to their hearts in the original “Three Smart Girls.” Plus the 4th chapter of “The Lone Ranger Rides Again.” The roughest and toughest cat tle town in the history of the western frontier is the setting for the vigorous tale of virile adven ture told in “Dodge City,” the Technicolor production starring Errol Flynn, which plays Sunday and Monday at the Mattituck. It has the most notable cast ever assembled for a picture dealing ■with western pioneer days. Aside from its cast, the picture is distinguished by its magnificent and authentic re-creation of the scene and the times depicted. The lavish detail with which the Dodge City of the 1870’s and the great plains which surrounded it are vividly brought to life on the screen make it easily believable that the producers spent a million and a half dollars on the pro duction. It’s a joy at the Joneses and a hit at the theatre when America’s favorite folks celebrate a “blessed event” in the latest hit of their series, “Everybody’s Baby,” which will be one of the two pictures presented next Tuesday and' Wed nesday. There’s plenty of fun and excitement in this joyful Jones hit, and with one riot, two false alarms and a free for all. Of course Bonnie’s baby makes Dad a grandad and all the kids uncles and aunts. So they all lend a hand in bringing up the howling new addition to the family and, with a thousand new Jones laughs, it’s the family’s howlingest hit. Also “While New York Sleeps. SU F F O L K AND STRA N D T H E A T R E S cfiWPORJ. H E flTRE Matinee Sat.-Sun -Wed. at 2:15 ’ivery Evening ai 7:15 and 9:15 One of the most dramatic and forceful pictures ever rrlade is “Confessions of a Nazi Spy” play ing at the Suffolk Theatre this Friday and Saturday and at the Greenport Theatre next Wednes day and Thursday. Warner Bros., the producers of the picture, were told that they could not under any circumstances make it, not anyway in the manner in which they did, calling a spade a spade and a Nazi a Nazi. Warner Bros, had once before heard that same warning, but dared criticism and produced “Public Enemy,” the picture that aroused the American public to such a frenzy that gang dom was dealt ’ a death blow, never to recover. “Nazi Spy” is a straightforward presentation of the facts uncovered by former ace G-Man Leon G. Turrou when he broke up the famous Nazi spy ring in this country. But as he explained it himself, he only scratched the surface. Fine, real istic portrayals are given by the excellent cast headed by Edwar’ G. Robinson and including Frances Lederer, George Sanders, Paul Lukas and Lya Lys. On the s^me program will be shown Donald Duck’s latest Technicolor cartoon “Donald’s Lucky Day,” also the News. ^ Hailed as Claudette Colbert’s best comedy since “It Happened One Night,’’ and a^ much better as 1939 movies are over 1934, “Midnight,” sporting an outstand ing array of stars, comes to the Suffolk and Greenport Theatres next Sunday, Monday and Tues- ‘day. Sharing starring honors with Claudette are Don Ameche, John Barrymore and his wife, Elaine Barrie, Mary Astor, Francis Led erer and Hedda Hopper. The story just oozes laughs at every turn and every one of these great stars turns in a memorable perform ance. Here’s everything combined to make the perfect picture, swell story, big star studded cast, plenty of laughs and rave reviews from all over the country. It’s got all the earmarks of a great show— don’t miss it. Pete Smith is on this program also, this tim'e in- ' gambler. troducing to you in his inimitable manner, the weather man, in “Weather Wizards.” A cartoon and the News will also appear. Take a fine group of actors like Nelson Eddy, Virginia Bruce, Li onel Barrymore, Victor McLaglen, Edward Arnold, Guy Kibbee and Charles Butterworth. Take the most glamorous male voice in pic tures, Nelson Eddy’s. Then take a swashbuckling, action packed, hard hitting story, and you have the ingredients of “Let Freedom Ring,” the attraction at the Suf folk Theatre next week on Wed nesday and Thursday. Nelson Eddy has been starred in a great many musical and so called draw ing room pictures, but in “Free dom Ring” he changes character completely and takes the part of a man fighting for his home against the unscrupulous ways of Edward Arnold, trying to push his com pany’s railroad through the Mid dle West by fair means or foul. “The 'I'hree Bears,” a comical car toon, and a comedy “Home Cheap Home” with Henry Arrnetta are the shorts part of the program. Wallace Beery, a Riverhead fa vorite, will be at the Suffolk next week on Friday and Saturday in “Sergeant Madden.” A chapter out of the making of the West will be unveiled on the screen of the new Greeripoort Theatre when Walter Wanger’s “Stage Coach” plays there. The 'story takes ninb men and women on a coach trip from Tonto to Lordsburg in the period of the 1880’s. These passengers include Claire Trevor as a lady of lax morals but large heart, John Wayne as a youthful renegade, Louise Platt as a young matron from Virginia, Donald Meek as a timid whiskey salesman, Berton Churchill as a pompour and dis honest banker, George Bancroft as a rough government official of the time, Andy Devine as the squeaky-voiced driver of the coach, Thomas Mitchell as a THE POCKETBOOK o f KNOWLEDGE OF /MOfiB THAN 9/^,000,000.000 IM TAXfiS C0LLECT6D AHNOAULV BV FEDBRAU, STATE AHO tOCAL eoVERNMCNTS, /MORE THAN $7,000,000,000 IS MA06 OP OF ftWOeN TAXBS, Irs THE PAST Teh VEAR'i, AMERICANS HAVE BOU6HT 9 ,0 0 0 ,000,000 BLeCTRIC U6Hr BULBS.
