HUNT'S THEATERS
George Runt, 'owner and manager
of the Rlalto and Craterlan theaters,
announced today a new policy for
both houses, effective tomorrow at
the Rlalto and Thursday at the Cra
terlan. 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 Rlalto theater, for a long time
a favorite with show-goers, will In
augurate a straight first-run policy,
showing pictures from all the leading
producers. 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,
