Dust Storms and Rain Storms in The Rainmakers at Peoples
Wheeler and Woolsey headline RKO comedy The Rainmakers at Peoples Theatre, a lively satire on science and farming amid Midwest droughts. Roscoe the Rainmaker and sidekick Billy spark romance and chaos as Lima Junction farmers clash with banker Parker, leading to a wild train finale and a mix of songs, spectacle, and humor. Mrs. Mamie E. Braswell funeral notices and Raleigh visitor Miss Blonnie Taylor appear in brief local items.
