At the Mere E xclu sive Places “The Egg and I,” the movie version of Betty MacDonald’s best seller which has been read by more than 25 million persons, comes Sunday for four days to the Roxy Theatre, with Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray in the starring roles of Betty and Bob. One of the most hilarious pieces of Americana ever con cocted, the picture recounts the ad -*--™ ■ ventures of a honeymooning couple who try to wrest a living from mountain-wilderness chicken ranch. Miss Colbert discards her trade mark glamour and literally goex back to the soil, even to the point of dunking herself in the odoriferous mud or a pigsty while she wrestles with “Cleopatra,” the temperamental ------------------------------------ SOW. Exactly Tailored Role MacMurray, as the slow-witted, pre-occupied husband who is unable to recognize the fact that his wife is working herself to death in a strug gle with yesteryear’s inconveniences, has a role exactly tailored to his style. • The book has been produced by Universal-International on a lavish scale. A spectacular forest fire which burns down the ranch just when the honeymooners think they have won their struggle is one of the highlights. ' M arjorie Main and Percy Kilbride play Ma and Pa Kettle, the earthly, shiftless, prolific neighbors whose do ings are a ' constant succession of king-size laughs. Story Line Added The screenplay by Producer Fred Finklehoffe and Director Chester Erkine follows the book with com mendable fidelity but manages added suspense by the addition of a story line, in which Louise Allbritton plays the other woman with designs on MacMurray. Cast of the picture includes: Billy House, Richard Long, Fuzzy Knight, Johnny Berkes, Vic Potel, Esther Dale, Donald MacBride, Samuel S. Hinds, Elizabeth Risdon and Isabel O’Madigan. • • 18 Scholarships Awarded Far Study A t O.S.C.
