PAVILION, SELSEY. "INTIMATE RELATIONS." the drama by Jean Cocteau, stars Harold Warrender, Marian Spencer, Ruth Dunning and Russell Enoch. The scene is laid in Paris, and the story is of an over-possessive mother who cannot or will not realize that her son has grown up. He stays out one night, and it is later discovered that he has fallen in love with a beautiful young girl, has spent the night at her flat, and wants to marry her: It then transpires that his father, starved of affection through his wife's unhealthy attachment and domination of her son, has been driven to having an affair, and has been the lover of the same girl. The main attraction for the second part of the week is "ABBOTT AND COSTELLO GO TO MARS." The humour starts when Abbott and Costello accidentally set in motion a rocket-ship. Their first flight takes them no farther than New Orleans where the colourful Mardi Gras is in progress. The story leads them back to the space-ship again and eventually to Venus. There, the comedy steps up to an even faster pace as Bud and Lou find themselves on a planet entirely peopled by beautiful women. "GUNSMOKE" is an action-filled Technicolor Western revolving around the story of a hard-hitting, hard-shooting outlaw who crosses to the right side of the law to win the girl he loves and wage battle with a ruthless frontier gang.
