The theatre derotee with an automo bile and a rorlng disposition will find more I exciting prospects await him this summer in rural shrines of drama than Broadway will hare-to offer. No more than 10 attractions, all but two many months old, may be expected to be available to the transient in the Big Town until Labor day, where as the following may be sought out at rustic theatres: "The Mistress ot the Inn." with Era'Le Galllene; American pre miere of "Retreat From Folly," with Margaret Anglin; Nazlmova's fine production of "Ghosts;" Ina Claire in Eugene O'Neill's "Anna Christe;" Edward Sheldon's old play, "Romance," with Eugenie Leontoritch; "Princess Turan dot," with Anna May Wong, and possibly another Ibsen play, "A Doll's House." with Ruth Gordon, all at Westchester County play house.

"Just Suppose" is a timely re vival, however for this comedy by A. E.

Scio School Vote Results to Await Court's Decision ALBANY, June 1 9--Rei-dents of the proposed Scio tlagon, high school district will not fesow whether the district will- be formed eren after Monday's elec tion, unless the proposal is roted down. ; If the rote favors the proposal, action must await decision by the district attorney and county court on claims of opponents that the election petition from onels trlct carried an Insufficient number-of signatures. County Super intendent J. M. Bennett said to day. The protest was presented too late to call off tha election. ; Twelve districts are involved. Capitol Bills Spencer Tracy Simulates "Tough Guy" in Post-War Racketeer Story Scenario With Spencar Tracy, Gladys George and 'Franchot Tone in the leading roles, "They Gare Him a Gun" opens today at the Capitol theatre as one of tha more lm- portant releases from the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer studios. ' - Franchot Ton deserts genteel characters to play a "tough guy"; Spencer Tracy deserts the "tough guy" character for a kindly advis er of a wayward youth; and Gladys George, following her suc cess la "Valiant Is the Word for Carrie." plays another valiant role as a war nurse who marries a racketeer she fails to save In "They Gar Him a Gun." The picture, based on the nor- el by Major William Joyce Cowen and directed by W. 8. Van Dyke II, deals with tha effect ot war on the psychology of youth, tracing the transition of a kindly young clerk who goes through war into a dangerous post-war racketeer. Tone starts as a clerk, is draft ed and taught in warfare that "all men are equal with guns in their hands." a maxim that leads him to crime and disaster in later life. Tracy plays the kindly sideshow barker, his buddy during the war. who attempts with Miss George to sare the youth from his ultimate fate. . Cowen's book, written largely from his own experiences, is a current best seller. It was adapt ed to the screen by Cyril Hume, Richard Malbaum and Maurice Rapt and was produced by Harry Rapt. Compromise Upon Grant Land Sales The Oregon & California land grant counties' committee yes terday accepted a compromise plan of distribution of timber sales proceeds. County Commis sioner Roy S. Melson last night reported on hla return from a meeting held at Eugene. Suggested by the department of the Interior, the plan arbitrar ily sets a $390,000 minimum share of grant land revenues yearly for the 11 participating-! counties. Under further provi sions, however, the counties will receive 50 per cent of each year's rerenues, which this year may exceed . one-half million dollars, Melson said. Last year approx imately $375,000 was distributed to the counties. The plan also prorldes that up to 65 per cent of the annual pro ceeds shall be allotted to the counties if necessary to make up the guaranteed $390,000 mini mum. It only the 50 per cent share is needed for this purpose. 25 per cent will go toward wip ing out an accumulated deficit in the land grant fund. Tha re maining 25 per cent will be used to pay administrative costs. Melson said timber sales had increased to such an extent that the counties might receive twice the guarantee sum this year. Elk Lake Road Is Closed as Repair Made Upon Bridge The North Santlam highway is now open across the Cascades and in condition with the detour over the old road that was necessary last year eliminated, lt was re ported Saturday by Kermlt Lins tedt. U. S. forest ranger at De troit. Trarel orer the road to Elk lake will be impossible this week end because of repairs being made on the bridge orer Humbug creek. Snow damaged the bridge last winter to an extent that it will be necessary to replace it. Pishing, which had been good up to last week, suffered a tem porary setback due to rains but is expected to improve as soon as the rains cease. Blue and red up right flies are proving the best lure. Trout are averaging larger this year in both the rivers and the lakes, of which Elk and Fame lia are the most popular, yielding some nice catches, mostly on bait. ; The rain has reduced the fire hazard temporarily to n minimum. No fire permits are required yet for camping. A crew is now en gaged in conditioning camp grounds in the district for the benefit of vacationists and pic nickers. Maintenance crews are also at work on trails and on tel ephone lines to lookout points. Coatiaaous Performance 2 to 11 P. M. ROMANCE! ACTION DRAMA!

Its story deals with the amazing adrenturea of a white , psychlan knows to the natives ot the Yukon wilderness as "The Flying Doctor." So called. because he visits the sick in vIU lagea miles apart on the savage terrain in - his one-eeater plane His machine Is wrecked while making a forced landing due to engine trouble. And its former oc cupant,- uninjured, but .unarmed and without food or drink, begins an apparently hopeless' pilgrim age on foot toward the otttposts of eirillxation. Tet he survives, by the exercise of an indomitable will, through the perils of wild-beasts fury, ice, now, avalanches, impenetrable swamps, burning forests, the ner vation of mighty river and hor rible menace ot starvation. He 'even takes along as comrades. two little - cub-bears temporarily separated from their huge mother. The thrills - and human interest appeal of Tundra" are projected on a scale so vast that the film registers not only as unsurpass able entertainment, but can truly be described as an epic ot the screen! ; Nearly a year elapsed in the making of "Tundra." Interiors were shot at Hollywood, with the aid of native Eskimos. But for a full six months the company was on actual location In the Alaskan wilderness and Arctic circle. Hence, Its extraordinary, fidelity to detail and atmosphere! Direct or, players and cameramen lived in small tents and slumbered In sleeping bags, lying on the snow, rocks or moss-covered ground in the worst of weather conditions, with the cold sometimes 'register ing at 9 degrees below zero.
