At the Mere
E xclu sive Places

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
