The Craterlan will show the "cream of the crop," In a manner of speak ing, using only the very best pic tures available and for longer runs than has been the policy for the past two or three years. Where the policy of the house has been three complete changes each week, hereafter there will be only two, thereby allowing everyone a chance to see the shows. Some of the pictures soon to be shown at the Craterlan are "The Pic ture Snatcher," with James Cagney: Maurice Chevalier's latest release, "A Bedtime Story"; Mary Pldtford in "Secrets"; "Tugboat Annie." whlcll brings Marie Dressier and Wallace Beery together again: "Forty-Second Street." Warner Brothers' smash mus ical revue with Warner Baxter, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Bebe Daniels and a host of other atars; and a long list of other notable attractions.

The first picture in the new policy at the Rlalto is "Out All Night." starring Slim Summervllle and Zasu, Pitts In the third of their co-starring comedies. It has been said that thle latest picture sur passes even their two previous ve hicles, "The Unexpected Father" and "They Just Had to Get Married," both of which hung up box-office records wherever they were shown. "The reason for the change In pol icies for the two theaters la quite obvious," said Mr. Hunt, "and wo Intend bringing to. Medford the very best that the entertainment world has to offer In an effort to make the two theaters once again known all up and down the coast for the su perior entertainment offered." "Besides bringing the best product available for showing In our two thea ters, we also Intend making changes In the equipment, bringing It up to date, and otherwise making the thea ters modern in every -respect. The Working Man,' which we are now showing at the Craterlan, and which has, Incidentally,- been making a de cided hit with everyone, la only the beginning. Other big pictures will follow. The produoera In Hollywood realize that the days of any old thing bringing crowds to the theatera la a thing of the past-r-that people are demanding better ahows. The result Is that all the major studios are put ting forth all their efforts and a great deal of their money Into better atorles, more careful direction, the right catlng of stars and all the other details that go to make good pictures, f 'mr " ' II f ' i Society and Clubs Edited by Eoa Nealon Hamilton Pythian Dance Is Friday Evening An Interesting event of this week end will be the dinner and dance Friday to be given by the Knights ot Pythias and Pythian Sisters, at the Pythian hall.
