with tha^. prize-winning film.
Nqw with his inimitable magic

other “It Happened One flight,” a
gay, charming Cinderella story
called “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,"
which plays Sunday and Monday
at the Floyd’s Theater, with Gary
Cdper and Jean Arthur in the
leading roles. Critics have wel-
comed it as the only picture that
could be regarded as a contender
for the many honors, that fell to
the Clark Gable-Claudette Colbert

company has been literally ’Com-
pelled to tour the country because
of the flood of requests.
— Tleket seatpers sold tickets for
the Broadway Show as high as
$50 a pair. The shrow has been
playing to standing room only for
weeks. The prices at the Centen-
nial will be 40 and 65 cents.
The play is an authentic pre-
sentation. For justifiable reasons
the locale of the play is not in
drab Scotland but in the colorful
islands of Haiti during the Na-
poleonic regime. Negro actors
lend themselves easily to the ele-
gance of the spectacle. The army
of 150 actors wears splendid mili-
tary costumes of the Napoleonic
regime play against three
major settings—a tropihl jungle,
a majestic castle and a seaboard
town. Brilliant lightnig effects
vividly bring out the magnificent
and. terrifying beauty of the
scenes.
Voodooism furnishes one of the
most distinctive features of Mac-
beth. There were three witches
in the original script but witches
are alien to Haitian tradition, so
voodoo ceremonies are substituted.
The cast includes an authentic
voodoo doctor, Abdul Assen. Ab-
mula that fits hot weather. Other-
wise your gas doesn’t burn
completely—part of it escapes
through the exhaust unhumed,
wasted. Stick to That Good Gulf
