Joan Blondell Livestock. PORTLAND. Dec. 28. (p) CAT TLE: ISO; calves 30; steady, un changed. HOGS: 1500: steady, unchanged. SHEEP: 150; steady to firm, unchanged. r With a cast headed by Joan Blon dell, shown Bbove, James Cagney and Ruby Keeler and Including 250 of the moat beautiful girls in the world, "Footllght Parade," gigantic musical, will arrive on the screen of the Holly theater next Saturday, December 30. Tills new and mammoth spectacle is said to far surpass its predecessors In the originality and beauty of its ensembles, in Its hilarious comedy drama plot, its songs and Its romantic love Interest. Musical Show at Craterian Scores With Cinema Fans Those who have become satiated with backstage stories, glittering ex travaganzas of "the ahow must go on." will find a welcome relief In "Flying Down to Rio." now playing at the Craterian theater. In th is picture there Is none of the backstage atmosphere wmcn seems to be Hollywood's big stock in trade in making musical shows. And the lack of the theatrical at mosphere adds to the enjoyment of the picture. "Flying Down to Rio" opens in a Miami Beach hotel, showing a group of musicians about to lose their Jobs by their leader's Romeo-1st lc tend encies, frowned upon by the man agement. Then the scene shifts to Rio de Janeiro, where the film really starte to go places. It Is here that "The Carloca" Is introduced a tan talizing, sensuous dance number that beats anything ever shown before, It might be called a glorified tango. but that mild description would fall to do It Justice. It Is in a class by itself and this particular sequence starts out In what looks to be a slight Interlude In the romance of the band leader and the Latin girl. But, from the insignificant begin ning. It suddenly keeps growing big ger and bigger until it climaxes in a glorious rhymthmlc sensation that keeps yesterday's audience on the edge of their seats. There Is a real Brazilian band to lend realism; there is the introduction to the "Carioca" by a group of ballroom dancers fol lowed by Fred Astalre and Ginger Rogers In a specialty arrangement of the number. Then comes the entire ensemble of chorines and chorus boys doing the same number which pre cedes a group of Harlem bucks and Mgh-yallers doing an African ver sion of the dance. But that lsnt all. After a brief Interlude in what seems to be the end of all hope for the American musicians, the picture Is brought to an an tl -climactic con clusion In the skies, with girls danc ing on the wings of flying planes an altogether novel and original en semble arrangement. The cast In cludes Dolores Del Rio, Gene Ray mond, Fred Astalre. who suddenly becomes a screen sensation In his first film appearance; Ginger Rogers. Raul Roullen and many other well known faces. Barbara Stanwyck la also on the program in "Baby Face." Fine Cast Coming In "Little Women" Craterian Sunday Like a fragrant faded rose out of an old book comes "Little Women" to the Craterian theater Sunday, as different from the average run of screen features as its bewitching set ting Is from the rush and bustle of Broadway. . The ever-popular story, a sweet breath of romance In the setting from which most of the great screen suc cesses have come home has been handled with benign care. Its human lovable characters live again In the fashion of the day. The peaceful settings where the four girls romped have been transferred to this era by the magic of the camera and the technical skill of movieland. A great cast, too, brings this echo of a romantic American period. Katherlne Hepburn is Jo, Joan Ben nett is Amy, Frances Dee Is Meg and Jean Parker Is Beth. Others Include Paul Lukas, Edna May Oliver and Douglas Montgomery. Will James9 Novel On Rialto Screen Taken from the pages of Will James best seller, "Smoky," the pic ture of the same name comes to the Rialto theater tomorrow for two days. On the same program Tim McCoy will be shown In "Police Car 17." "Smoky" Is the story of a horse whose vicious hatred of men brands htm a killer. During the course of his life, he befriends only one man, the man who has tamed and under stood him. The f rlendshi p of th e man nd the horse Is so great that when "Smoky' Is stolen, hlB friend puts everything aside. Including his love for his sweetheart, to go in search of his friend. In the years that follow, "Smoky" attains a repu tation of the famous "Cougar" of the rodeos, and then sinks to the depths of a junk man's horse abused and forgotten. As a book, "Smoky" proved a fa vorite with .countless thousands, and judging from advance reports, the picture will prove equally popular. Victor Jory. Irene Bentley and Will James himself are the featured players. Bootery Slashes All Shoe Prices During Big Sale Prices on every pair of shoes at the Bootery have been drastically cut for the semi-annual sale which started this morning and has already at tracted a large number of southern Oregon women to Medford during the day. Due to the fact that this big sale Includes the entire stock of fine foot wear at the Bootery, the event af fords an outstanding buying oppor tunity. Dress shoes, oxfords and special J. Ac K. Foot Savers are being featured, at very low prices to appeal to those who are familiar with the high type merchandise to be found at the Bootery. Ramon Novarro In "The Barbarian" As a change from the overflow of stories connected with city life. Metro -Gold wyn-Mayer brings to the Studio screen starting today "The Barbarian," storrlng Ramon Novarro and described as a romantic comedy laid in the colorful, atmospheric background of the Nile River and Egyptian desert. Novarro Is seen as a resourceful rogue ostensibly occupied In the le gitimate business of guiding tourists through the picturesque pyramid sight-seeing country, but more subtly engaged in the more romantic act ivity of impressing wealthy widows with his charms. It Is a new kind of "racket" and one said to be as diverting as It Is Ingenious. Into the story enters Myrna Loy as a young English girl who has come to Calrlo to marry the somewhat slow witted engineer of a new aqueduct. Novarro enters her employ as a guide and from then on one exciting hap pening follows upon another with lightning-like rapidity. Portland Produce PORTLAND. Dec. 38.

Selma, Oregon, played host to one of the largeat Christmas parties ever held In the Illnola valley, and the evening was made one to linger long In the minds of those who at- officers In charge of the camp and all of the school children In close prox imity to Camp Kerby were lnvtted to attend and present the programa they were going to present at their own schools at the camp on the evening of December 20. At 5:30 p. m. the crowd started arriving and many par- took of the chicken supper served to the members of the camp. At 6:30 the parade grounds were filled to overflowing with the vlaltors and It was necessary after the mess hall, where the program waa original ly scheduled to be held, was filled, to hold a double progrsm the sec ond to be held in the recreation hall. This, too, waa filled to capacity and aa aoon aa the entertainers finished their first program they Journeyed the short distance between the build ings and presented it to the specta tors in the recreation hall. The combined schools of Kerby, Deer Creek. Selma and the members of Camp Kerby kept the huge crowd entertained with aonga, plays, rend Inga and musical renditions. When the program was over approximately 1500 pounds of candy, nuts, apples and oranges were distributed to the children. This was, In all probability, the only event of this alze and caliber to be held In the Civilian Conserva tion corps in the United States, and a very conservative estimate of the crowd In attendance waa given at 1000 spectators.
