PAGE EIGHT T H E WATCHMAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1939 SUFFOLK AND GREENPORT THEATRES Local lovers of the kind of en tertainment dispensed .by Bing Crosby on screen and radio can loolo forward to seeing him in a picture that really measures up to his talents when “The Star Maker” plays at the Suffolk and Greenport Theatres this Friday and Saturday. The picture is pat terned after the life of Gus Ed wards, Bing playing the part of a small time song writer ih Tin Pan Alley who works his way to the top of show business by m a k ing stars out of talented young sters. A large group of old time songs are on Bing’s singing list in “The Star Maker” as well as four new hits you all know. Wal ter Damrosch offers a more seri ous interlude when he leads a one hundred piece symphony or chestra, while sour puss Ned Sparks will have you continually laughing. Besides an excellent fishing reel, “Big Game Fishing,” the latest Newsreel will also be shown on the same program. From one of the year’s best selling novels has been made one of the outstanding pictures of all times. This is “The Rains Came,” starring Tyrone Power, Myrna Loy and George Brent, on which a great movie studio threw their entire resources and unstinted ef fort to make it one of the screen’s greatest thrills. Louis Bromfield, who Wrote the story, included an earthquake, fire, flood and plague in his account of a group of white .people cut off from the rest of the world in mythical Ranchipur, a city in India where the heat and oppressing climate send emotions running wild. The flood scene alone is said by those who have seen it, to be one of the most tremendously thrilling spectacles ever captured by a motion picture camera, while the earthquake and fire are not far behind for thrills. Appreciating the greatness of this picture the Suffolk Theatre has booked it for four days, from next Sunday to Wednesday. Flaming events in the world today will also be shown in the latest News. A double feature program is scheduled for next week from Thursday to Saturday: Elsa Max well’s “Hotel For Women,” with Ann Sothern heading a great cast and “Charlie Chan at Treasure Island,” starring Sidney Toler and Cesar Romero. Coming as an answer to that perennial question: “What do women talk about when they’re alone?” “The Women,” filmization of Clare Booth’s outstanding stage success, opens a three day engage ment Sunday on the Greenport Theatre screen with an all star cast of 135 women headed by Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. Miss Shear er appears as Mary Haines. Joan Crawford is seen as the siren Crystal Allen, and Rosalind Rus sell as the inveterate gossip, Syl via Fowler. Others in the sup porting cast include Mary Roland, Paulette Goddard, Phyllis Povah, .Joan Fontaine, Virginia Weidler, Lucile Watson, Florence Nash, Muriel Hutchinson and many more. The story centers about Norma Shearer as a woman whose happiness and home are tempor arily wrecked by gossip, and her fight to regain the life that had been snatched from her. The super crime of the century is the thrilling st^ry that will be unfolded on the Greenport The atre’s screen next Wednesday and Thursday in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.” The master de tective is pitted against his arch enemy, the fiendish Moriarty, and the result is an exciting photo play not to be missed. A woman in love is the victim, and the $15,000,000 British crown jewels the loot. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, who did such capable jobs of the roles of Holmes and Dr. Watson, respectively, in the recent “The Hound of the Baskervilles,’ play these parts to perfection again. Ida Lupino and A laa Mar shal handle the romantic roles heading the cast which includes Terry Kilburn, George Zucco (as Moriarty), Henry Stephenson and E. E. Clive. MATTITUCK THEATRE Dairymen May Get Postponement On Pasteurization Order (Continued from Page 1) effective date well beyond Jan. 1. This would give the dairymen more time to prepare for the pas teurization of their milk, either by installing their own plants or by establishing cooperative plants as has been suggested by the Suf folk County Farm Bureau. It is thought that the board is prepared to grant an extension of time, and this action may be taken at its meeting scheduled for the latter part of the month. In his arguments for the new ruling, Dr. William H. Ross, presi dent of the Board of Health, de nied that pasteurized milk loses either nutritional elements or vi tamin content. He also maintained that pasteurization will increase the cost of milk from half a cent to a cent, and then read two com munications from dairymen en dorsing the order. Both local representatives, John Wickham of Cutchogue and Wil liam Unkelbach of Mattituck, voiced their disapproval backed by sound reasons. Wickham point ed out that the Suffolk order is much more stringent than the or ders in force in Nassau, Queens and Winchester counties, and that the order would even make it un lawful for farmers and dairymen to furnish their hired hands with milk HS part of their wages. He then pointed out that 74.4% of all dairies in the county are very email and that only 15% of the county’s herds contain over ten cows. A sheaf of petitions, having over 5,000 signatures, and calling for the repeal of the order, was displayed by Mr. Wickham. It was Unkelbach who brought out the feet that raw milk had «>■ been used in an institutioiT under tl>e supervision of the Board of Health, namely the sanitbrium a1 Holtsville. He was then told by Dr. Ross that raw milk had been used for only a month. It was Unklebach’s theory that unless thousands of dollars are spent .J n enforcement there will be extensive bootlegging of milk throughout the county. He also stated that raw milk is used at the county home at Yaphank, an institution not under the control of the Board of Health. Many others spoke against the order, including many of the su pervisors, who unanimously adopt ed a resolution urging the repeal of the order some weeks ago. Majority Of County Jails Are Clean (Continued from Page 1) man be assigned at the jail yarc gate. That a study be made to elimi nate the possibilities of escape. (It was suggested that a picket fence be erected above the pres ent wall). That the outdoor exercise period be increased. At the time of inspection the report states that there were 83 inmates, classified as follows: Male Female Serving sentence 62 3 Awaiting court action 16 1 Civil prisoners 1 0 ADVERTISE IN TH I WATCHMAN Heading the double feature at traction at the Mattituck Theatre Friday and Saturday is “Blind Alley,” starring Chester Morris, Ralph Bellamy and Ann Dvorak. This is an absorbing story relat ing the psychological study of a criminal’s mind. Chester Morris, the killer, takes over a college professor’s home as a hideout. Morris murders one of the house guests, and Ralph Bellamy (the professor) decides to analyze the mind of the killer as a means of preventing further murders. In the psychoanalysis Bellamy finds the reason for Morris’ car eer of crime, his nightmares and his fear of insanity, and through the professor’s experiment he changes the killer’s determination to blast his way to freedom with a machine gun on the arrival of the police. A highlight in this picture is the filming of Chester Morris’ nightmare, a remarkable piece of photography. “The Phantom Stage,” rated as the best by far of the Bob Baker Western for 1938-39, is the sec ond feature for Friday and Sat urday. When no one can be found to drive the coach from Medicine Hat to Terminal City, Bob Baker accepts the job. His task is to see that gold shipments from city to city are protected, many ship ments having disappeared en route up to the time he decides to drive. He is successful at first, but when a particularly large shipment of gold disappears, he has to use real headwork in solv ing the mystery. Four tuneful, well spotted songs add to Baker’s performance in this Western story. Ann Sheridan will again appear at this theatre Sunday and Mon day, with Richard Carlson taking the male lead. The picture is “Winter Carnival,” taken from a story provided by Dartmouth Col lege’s winter carnival. The story tells of Ann Sheridan jilting Pro fessor Carlson for a duke. She eventually divorces the man of title and the professor falls in love with Ann all over again. Ann’s kid sister shows signs of follow ing in her footsteps, but ahe stops her before it is too late. Robert Armstrong takes a strong support ing role as a down and out report er, and besides these feature play ers you will see a group of fresh, new faces destined to become greater as they are recognized by the theatre public for their fine performances. The skiing events in this picture are more than just exciting, and a swell little tune which adds greatly to the film is “Winter Blossoms,” as sung by Kenneth Stevens. Short subjects accompanying this fine picture in clude a cartoon. Stranger Than Fiction and News reel. On Tuesday (Jackpot Nite) and Wednesday, “Missing Daughters” and “Panama Patrol” will be shown. The first stars Richard Arlen and Rochelle Hudson in a story obviously inspired by the “Lucky” Luciano vice trust trial in New York not so long ago. Arlen portrays the role of a gos sip columnist who tracks down a vice ring which had taken daughters from their mothers’ homes and introduced them to the lives of night club hostesses, “art ist’s models,” etc. Rochelle Hud son provides the femme interest. “Panama Patrol,” with Leon Ames and Charlotte Wynters, is woven around the activities of the government bureau in stopping the transmission of defense plans to alien enemies. Ames is the head of a bureau for deciphering codes and Charlotte is his sec retary. Their marriage is post poned until the spies are brought to justice. The fascinating de tailing of the methods used to de cipher enemy codes provides great entertainment, and a good deal of suspense is prevalent because of the tricks of the spy ring leader, who throws them off the trail in one phoney chase after another, before he is finally caught. A News reel will also be shown in conjunction with this double fea ture. New York Potato Market Ruled Dull Elarly This Week (Continued from Page 1.) tions of a rise in paying prices. In Long Island the crop was coming along satisfactorily and shipments were fairly heavy. Prices to the farmer rose steadily until midweek, when they reached $1.40 to $1.45 for Cobblers, Chip- pewas and Green Mountains. On Thursday, however, inquiry was lighter and values eased 5c from the high of the previous day. Reports indicated that between 75 and 80 per cent of the New Jersey crap had been shipped, and shortly after midweek farmers were receiving $1.55 for Cobblers in 100-pound bags and $1.65 for Chippewas and Katahdins. There were unfavorable weath er conditions in Maine during the early part of this week, which slowed up haulings to some ex tent and the market there con tinued firm and stronger follow- Matlnee Sun., Wed., Sat. at 2:15 Every Evening 2 S h o w s 7 & 9 FRI.-SAT.
