1 !l V' i F AGE TIN » T 'STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE' HAS SPENCER TRACY, GREAT CAST ---------------------- :----------- • "Find ._............... . Livingstone!” Travel Motives Outlined By AAA , 0 Desire to visit relatives, pleasant memories of a previous trip, and 1 glowing reports of friends a» the three factors entering into the choice of the average American tourist’s va cation goal. These leading motives were brought out in a nation-wide survey conduct- ed recently by the Oregon State Mo tor association through American Automobile Association affiliated or ganizations. Of the motorists queried, 21.2 per cent said they picked their vacation spot in order to visit with relatives.. Coming a close second with 21.1 per cent were motorists who traveled to certain sections because they had been there before and liked it. Third reason was the recommendation of friends, accounting for 17.5 per cent of the trips. Newspaper or magazine advertis ing, coupled with advertising folders or booklets lured 12.6 per cent of the motorists, while business reasons ac counted for 7 per cent of the choices. Conventions attracted 6.3 per cent, while stories influenced 5.4 per cent. Miscellaneous reasons accounted for 8.5 per cent IN THE COUNTY COURT OF THE COUNTY OF COOS, STATE OF OREGON Otatte ; i- I Í i Exactly 70 years ago this October 16th, James Gordon Bennett barked these words at his crack reporter, Henry M. Stanley. It was apparently the moat hope- less assignment in all journalism. No one but a mad man would brave the terrors of unknown Africa to hunt for a missionary-explorer from whom no word had come in two yean. How Stanley found Livingstone, how the world called the newspaper man “the most colossal liar of his age,” and how he later became the greatest hero of his era, is the story of the 20th Century-Fox picture, Darryl F. Zanuck’s production.** It opens Wednesday September 27, for ■ifour.days run at the Roxy theatre, an important event for Coquille and a notable occasion for all. , Spencer Tracy, twice an Academy Award winner, portrays Stanley Nancy Kelly, who rose into the front ranks of Movietown with her role in “Jesse James,” and Richard Greene, who in a year’s time has become one of Hollywood’s top romantic stars, are starred with Tracy. Another two- time Award winner, Walter Brennan, heads the outstanding cast which in cludes Charles Coburn, Sir Cedric Hardwicke (as Livingstone), Henry Hull and Henry Travers. Henry King, who directed “In Old Chicago," ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’ and "Jesse James," was assigned the megaphone. In 1937 Mrs. Martin Johnson, the famous explorer, led an expedition of 27 Hollywood players and techni cians into the wild Tanganyika coun try of Africa. They began at Baga- moyo, on the coast opposite the island of Zanizibar, and retraced Stanley’s historic nine-month’s trek in 1871. They spent five months in reaching Ujiji, the village where Stanley found Livingstone, filming the coun try, which had changed little since it first witnessed one of the most heroic adventures known to man. More than a thrilling adventure story, the screen play by Philip Dunne and Julien Josephson presents Liv ingstone’s remarkable refusal to be “rescued” when Stanley arrived. The newspaperman stayed with the mis sionary to get his story and the contact with a great soul changed him completely. A profound story of hu man experiences is “Stanley and Livingstone” — extraordinary, out standing screen fare. In the Matter of the Estate of Robert J.

Although the con ference was called to consider a prob lem most directly affecting the pro ducers only a few of these were in evidence and most of these attended as representatives of cooperative marketing organizations rather than as dirt fanne».
