The McDonald theater is due
to rock with laughter when Pres
ton Sturges’ latest comedy ven
ture, “The Palm Beach Story,’’
hits the local screen.
Claudette Colbert and Xoel Mc
Crea star in this hilarious tale
of a young wife who leaves her
husband for a trip to Florida.
Aboard the train she meets the
members of the Ale and Quail
club, Florida-bound on their an
nual outing, and they adopt her
as their mascot.
During the night the private
car of the club is disconnected
from the train, and Claudette
speeds on into the night. She
meets a wealthy millionaire in
the morning, and decides to take
a trip on his yacht. Meanwhile
her husband has begun a pursuit,
which ends when he meets her
on the dock after she leaves mil
lionaire Rudy Vallee’s yacht.
From then on the film pro
gresses in typical Sturges fash
ion to a slapstick climax which
brings the picture to a surprise
ending.
Also on the bill is “My Heart
Belongs to Daddy.”
'Heart of the Golden
West' Next at Heilig
Roy Rogers, the king of cow
boys, is the star of "Heart of the
Golden West,” a musical west
ern which features laughs, ro
mance, and songs.
George "Gabby” Hayes and
Smiley Burnette assist with the
comedy, and the Sons of the Pio
neers handle the musical back
ground for Rogers’ songs.
“Mug Town” completes the bill
which starts Thursday at the
Heilig theater for a three-day
run.
Rapper Will Direct
"Rhapsody in Blue"
Irving Rapper, who won high
critical and audience approval for
his direction of “One Foot in
Heaven” and who recently com
pleted “The Adventures of Mark
Twain,” has been assigned by
Jack L. Warner, the executive
producer at Warner Bros., to di
rect “Rhapsody in Blue.” Jesse
L. Lasky will produce this story
of the life of the late George
Gershwin, thus re-uniting the
producer-director combination of
I the “Twain” picture.
Heilig Books
New Comedy
Thriller Film :
Comedy, mystery, and suspense
are all combined to make top
notch entertainment in "A Night
to Remember,” which opens Sun
day at the Heilig theater.
Jeff and Nancy Troy (Loretta
Young and Brian. Aherne) rent a
basement in a Greeenwich Vil
lage apartment where Strang‘s
incidents have led former tenants
to believe that the place was
haunted.
The housekeeper keeps mum- ]
bling about monsters in the night
and many of the tenants view the ,
couple with suspicion. Jeff de
cides that'here is real material
for his book.
Then Nancy overhears a man ■
threatening someone to meet him
at their apartment, and tells Jeff
so he can investigate.
In the course of the investiga
tion the Troys become involved
in a murder which takes place
in the apartment. The unraveling
of the crime not only makes good
material for Jeff's book but ex
cellent entertainment for Heilig
audiences.
The picture will be carried
over to the Mayflower theater
Thursday for a four-day run.
