If you really want to serve the pub lic interest you should leave Fehl alone and get after this Fox theater octopus that is attempting to throttle Medford’s theaters.’’ That man was the manager of the closed Holly theater, so darkened, he claimed, be cause the Fox group had bought up all the pictures and was practicing terribly unfair tactics. He is the same man who, this week, is permitting that same big bad Fox to huff and puff and blow open the Holly theater door by the hair on his chinny-chin-chin. Well, Mr. Former Manager (so-called because the return of the octopus brings with it its own Simon Legree), after you do your darndest to yelp your head off about the octopus—how nasty they were in ruin ing your business with unfair tactics, ille gitimate methods and so on far into the night what made you change your mind so suddenly and go jumping over to the other side of the fence? We’re just curious to know, that’s all. Not that it matters a great deal. But, according to your bleating a while back, the big bad Fox was even worse than the big bad wolf of the fairy tale. It couldn’t possibly be that you’ve changed your mind as to the stifling of the independents, could it? No, of course not! How foolish to ask. Last issue we said that consistency is in deed a rare jewel. We apologize. The Holly in denouncing the theater management, m Fox chain so bitterly and then climbing aboard that octopus’ back at the first op portunity, is entirely consistent with other stands taken by that same management last spring when the county was seriously threatened with disruption and bloodshed. So we pay homage to the return of the Fox chain of theaters in Medford. This time under the guise of Mr. Finkelstein, Mr. Rosenberg and Mr. Newman—but a Fox by any other name would still have to give a wide berth to pork. Ore Awaiting Completion of Tramway and Mill Units; 100-Ton Capacity Start Grading: One Star THE SONG OF SONGS Marlene Dietrich is reported to have said, “I’m not an ac- tress; I’m a personality.' .’’ Un Sudermann fortunately this But If story requires acting. Marlene can’t act. the others can. and do—In the best stage traditions. Marlene is a poor little or phaned German peasant wearing 10 petticoats and a funny hat. She comes to the wicked city to live with her aunt (Alison Skip worth), a gin-drinking German who packs a most out-of-cbarac- ter cockney accent! To the shop comes Brian Aherne, a German sculptor with Irish Players ac cent and diction. He asks Mar- lene to pose for him nude. Ah, at least we’ll see Marlene's beautiful legs! No, not once during the show, Only her head and shoulders. But the statue? Unfortunately Brian models a figure that looks like the body of a trapeze performer. Love and D. W. Griffith romance bounding over the meadows hand in hand. Entera the serpent—Lionel Atwill, German nobleman. Lion- el wears a full field uniform even when shopping. Brian, too poor to offer Marlene happiness, scrams, leaving her to marry Lionel. She becomes a great lady. Lionel triumphantly exhibits her to Brian. Marlene, peeved, runs away and becomes a pros titute. For one short sequence we see the real Marlene of the screen. She sings a naughty song in a rathskeller. Brian agrees to her price of shame and takes her to his studio. Big emotional stuff. Marlene smashes the awful statue with a sledge hammer, collapses, and Brian offers her true love. A grand story badly miscast and ponderously directed.

Inc., took over lease of the property. Development since that time has been gradual—some times exceedingly gradual—but I progressed steadily toward the present goal, which lacks but few details to make it an actuality in stead of the blueprinted dreams of a few summers back. These details and ragged ends are expected to be smoothed out during the aut- ' umn weeks and first ore should be carted down the long tramway and tumbled into ball mills ere Oc- , tober’s goblins slip down the can yon to pick mischief among the! city’s outdoor phone booths.
