JR. COZY PROGRAM
FOR THE WEEK
Tha Yearling-Wednesday 4k Thursday
This technicolor screenplay trans-
cribes the Rawlings story about peo-
ple who pioneered the Florida fronties
in 1887. There is earthiness in the
incidents relative to the struggles of
the Baxter family to make a home
life for themselves in the wilderness,
maintaining against a basic personal
code and elemental principles.
Vacation In Reno-Friday
The story is about a man who buys
a mint-detector, uses it to uncover
buried treasure, digs up stolen cash
instead, tangles with the bank rob-
bers who buried the money originally
and finally captures the robbers with
the aid of an unloaded revolver.
Robinhood Of Monterrey-Saturday
A son discovers that his young step-
mother and her lover plan to take ov-
er his father's ranch. When threate-
ned with exposure, the step-mother

accuses the son of being in love with
her. The boy is wounded and accused
of shooting his father. The murder is
revealed and the wife confesses.
The Red Hoase-Sanday
Mystery and suspense center about
a red house in a forest, which is re-
vealed little by little, that is the scene
of a fiftben year-old murder commit-
ted by Robinson in a seizure of de-
mentia which, under dramatic cir-
cumstances is duplicated with differ-
ence consequences in the end.
Magnificent Doll-Monday and Tuesday
Magnificent Doll stresses the early
years of Dolly Madison’s life before
she reached the position of First La-
dy. A widow, she takes lodgers into
her Philadelphia home, among them
Aaron Burr and James Madison. Da-
vid Niven, portraying Aaron Burr,
woos her in vain, but it is James Ma-
dison, portrayed by Burgess Meredith,
who wins her love.
