“Mr. Blanding Builds a Dream
House”, a bright and breezy come
dy, is the screen offering for to
day at the local theatre. Cary
Grant, Myrna Loy and Melvyn
Douglas appear in costarring roles.
Cary Grant and Myrna Loy por
tray a Manhattan couple who de
cide to discard the hectic life of
New York apartment dwellers in
favor of the more leisurely exis
tence of rural living. When they
buy an old Connecicut farmhouse
with the intention of converting
it into a modern “dream house”
their troubles begin. Before their
goal is accomplished they exper
ience an unforgetable comedy of
errors. Melvyn Douglas, as their
lawyer friend, provides added
comedy with, his well-meaning but
misunderstood attempts to help.
The picture is a screen version
of the Eric Hodgins bestseller. It
was directed by H. C. Potter and
produced and written for the
screen by Norman Panama and
Melvin Frank.
Sunday and Monday
The stirring drama of the de
sires and passions whch tear apart
a frontier valley where men fight
for life, land and love, “The Vio
lent Men.” which comes to the
screen Monday, stars Glen Ford,
Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G.
Robinson, Dianne Foster, Brian
Keith, May Wynn and .Warner
Anderson. It is a CinemaScope
film by Technicolor.
“The Violent Men” has its set
ting in the post:Civil War period
when small ranchers faced the
challenge of the land barons, and
either succumbed to their ruthless
drives for empire or recklessly
died trying to stop them.
Coupled with the raging, relent
less war for the land are the emo
tional conflicts between “The Vio
lent Men*’ and their women.
Said to be as dramatic as the
story, is the magnificent outdoor
scenery of the Pacific Northwest
location site, captured by the ana
morphic lens of the Cinemascope
camera in the magnificent hues of
color by Tecnicolor.
Tuesday and Wednesday
Republic’s smashing new Satur
day Evening Post story of the
prizefight ring ahd the people who
live by the merits of the twofisted
guys in the hot glare of the squar
ed circle, is said to be more than
just a motion picture of the color
ful fight arena.
“Champ For A Day,” stars Alex
Nicol and Audrey Totter.
This movie of the fight business
is said to pack a mighty wallop, a
smmamammmMmmmmmamBm
chuckle in the funnybone depart
ment and spine tingling thrills
with its brillantly put together
combination of robust action and
zany downbeat characters who
people the fistic atmosphere.
Thursday and Friday
“The Command” is the next of
fering on the local screen. This is
in Cinemascope and Warner Color,
and stars Guy Madison, who is sup
ported by John Weldon and James
Whitmore.
This is the story of the uncon
querables. From the annals of Am
erica’s frontier, “The Command”
depicts valor without equal, fury
without limit. It is the story of
the battle of men in the early his
tory of America.
Mrs. Etta Edris left Thursday

to be gone for a month.
