The phenomenal success of Sta-

“Grand Ole Opry
cinematic . follow-up of the same
title using the same characters,
conclusively that America
_ _ homespun hfeart. When Re-
V“ public’s latcil TIIS7
Opry,” opens Sunday, Monday -and
Tuesday at the Palace Theatre, lo-
cal movie fans will have an oppor-
tunity to find out just what the
public taste demands—as evidenced
by 6D.OOO fan letters weekly.
The “Grand Ole Opry" radio pro-
gram on which, the jplCture is bas-
ed, was bom in the Tennessee hills.
The actors and musicians on the
program of this fifteen-year-old
broadcast are actually farmers and
backwoodsmen who, when Satur-
day comes around, hang up their
dirty overalls and put on their
clean ones; put their fiddles, ban-
jos, jugs, washboards and mouth-
harps under their arms and head
into town.
Their little clique is very exclus-
ive. Seldom have outsiders muscled
in. Among the founders there is
Uncle Dave Macon, the acknow-
ledged king bee of the cast of over
seventy. There is George Hay, the
“Solemn Ole Judge” who was re-
sponsible for Qto-MSgia-aC- the pro*
gram. There are also Roy.Acuff
and his Smoky Mountain Roys, and
other groups known variouidy as
the “Fruit Jar Drinkers," the "Pos-
sum Hunters”, and the “Gully
Jumpers.” None of the old group
lias ever left voluntarily,' though
, several have died, leaving a lasting
memory in the hearts of their fel-
low “Opry” stars. Among these it
the late Dr. Humphrey Bate, who
turned down an attractive intern-
ship in a large metropolitan center
in order to rematn with his friends
and neighbors he loved. Each Sat-
urday night it was his custom to
make the rounds, solemnly shaking
the hands of each member of the
cast and tell them, “Goodbye, if I
don’t see you next Saturday."
“Your Heart will wear out if you
don’t let up all activity,” the phy-
sicians told him. “Mv heart would
break if I had to leave the Opry
and my people,” he replied. Two

Edward G. Robinson
Is Back with Mob
In “Brother Orchid”
“Little Caesar” is back in ac-
tion again. This time, it’s as
“Brother Orchid” that Edward G.
Robinson is heading the mob.

an underworld big-shot who goes
gunning for culture—a tailormade
role for Robinson.
Members of his “mob” include
the girl friend, Flo, a hat check
girl in a swank night spot. She
took a good tip, and before long

AUSTIN, July 1.— Texas law
enforcement officers and private
citizens were urged by B. Frank
“My Son, My Son!” definitely be-
longs among the great pictures that
from time to tiipe come out of
Hollywood to surprise the millions
of moviegoers all over the world.
It is a memorable screen accom-
plishment because for sheer enter-
tainment, it hasn’t been—and isn’t
likely to be—surpassed in a long
time to come.
