J Pruitt's Melody Shop Moves to West Main St. Another business will be added to the list of Medford ' west side firms, with the opening of pruitt's Melody hop Monday morning in the' loca tion formerly occupied by the Model bakery, across from the Rialto the atre. Extensive remodeling has been completed st the new shop under the direction of Grinsted and Runts, decorators, and Jones and Elliott, ' carpenters and senders. Dark colored fixtures make an attractive contrast with the light walls and floor cov ering. Mr. and Mrs. Almus Prultt, who are well known In southern Oregon's musical circles, have operated their Melody shop in this city for three years. During the past several months they report a decided revival of -interest in music, with sheet music sales increasing particularly. At water Kent and Zenith radio sales and service will continue to be featured in the new location. NEW YORK. Jan. 37. I'm about washed up riding around in taxi. That horrible fascination watching the mounting meter does some thing to me. Look, I'm limp as a rag I If a driver doesn't throw up the flag starting I'm consumed with suspicion he's go ing to nick, me down ' to the quick. If he circles the block on ac count of a one way street I'm convinced he la try ing to take me a few blocks ride by way of Atlantic City. When a driver turns to chat I relax a little. But when his conversation stops I Imag ine his talk Is just to make me feel so-high when I squawk. Another ember of my Scottish fury Is fanned hot by hat checking. I can't forget these privileges ace furm- ed out in a cold-blooded way to ras cally Tarzans who often do not pay the pretty girls livable wages. They shrug to these maidens: "After all, you get into close contact with rich gentlemen I" I flensed the covers off the bed this morning, impelled by a fierce to-do to lash out a column steeped with sarcasm .for these persistent American Indignities. But this X marks the spot where my anger did a fade out. I must finish up with something In gentler vein. Just a softie. I am determined not to puff InXo a pout the rest of the Journey. All sweetness and light. And tweedle de dee. Fred Stone telephoned today about a trivial matter and I was Im pressed by the booming vigour of his voice, Fred Is not an old man but he la getting along. Yet his voice has the bark of a college coach, as fresh as a January calendar. Voices have hypnotic quality. Bern hardt's dove-like throatiness gave me a floaty feeling of suspension In mid air. While voices with a rasp bathe me In lcey dew, like the squeak of a rusty hinge. The most melodious voice I ever, heard was -a telephone girls in a hotel at Coronado Beach. The oselne tone of far away temple bells. I used to lift the receiver and ask ridiculous questions for this seething effect. But she mistook my interest. One morning she replied: with: "Well, If it Isn't my New York sweetie again I" There was a certain1 allegro timbre to Richard Mansfield's voice that wm his greatest stage charm. William Faversham at one time had the finest voice on the stage, with Holbrook Blinn art a. riinnrr.nn. A rtA nn gnfn. in America excelled Bilnn for diction. spring Bylngton and Oracle Allen have a brookish babble, Dorothy Hall a Childish Wht timer ntlrt Paulino i Lord's lost whipper-will murmur In tragic moments u tne most poignant exhibition of restrained vocallsm. In the talkies I like the raw-tvicwt' t.ii. .ri der of Wallace Beery and George Ban- uroir .na wnen i near the husk of Lenore Ulrlc and Katsy Kelly I want to turn touch. On t.n hell around with a nlckle cigar I Mae vvcsn wmne naa made her a million. Katharine Hepburn's big tug is her file-like rasp. My wife was - chiding me today about an Incident In my life that I give especial plume when relating to others. The essential facts are correct but I dUde it lin With rortnln lmnr,i ary hot-dlggedys that are somewhat a strain on credence. Yet I believe with Robert Louis Stevenson that a good true story deserves a high hat and cane. If J? A.Cst; June Knight, Cliff (Ukulele Ike) Edwards and James Dunn are pals In the musical comedy hit, "Take a Chance," playing at the Craterian theater today and Monday. Also fea tured are Buddy Rogers and his band, Lillian Roth, Lillian Bond, Dorothy Lee and Lona Andre.' The big sur prise of the show is Jimmy "Dunn's adaptability to a comedy role. Opening as a small-town carnival, the picture follows the careers of the four Irrepressible youngsters safely through the villainies of crooked gamblers and a Jealous actress and ends with a double romance between Dunn and .Miss Roth and Buddy RogeYs and June Knight. There are six new song hits and many beauti ful girls, besides many novel comedy situations. "Goodbye Love" Now At Rialto Charlie Ruggles Is the valet who poses as a rich man during his vaca tion at Atlantic City In "Goodbye Love" at the Rialto theatre today and Monday. His romance with Veree Teasdale leads to hilarious proceed ings and almost winds up In the di vorce courts. On the same program Ernest Truer Is starred in "Mr, Adam," a delight ful travesty of the nudist camps. A news-reel and novelty round out the bill. Laurel and Hardy At Holly ' "Sons of the Desert,' a funny story of a lodjce convention, bring Stan Laurel, Ollrer Hardy and Charlie Chase to the Holly theater screen today. MAEWESTHATIS LATEST IN STYLE Mae West gold-digger hats with '. sweeping brims turned up at the back are among the new style Inno vations reported by Miss Wilda Hall, who returned to Medford Friday with Mr. and Mm. TJ. J. Carpenter after spending two weeks in Los Angeles and San Francisco buying clothes for The Band Box and Shoe Box. In order to select the dresses, suits and hats which will particularly ap peal to younger patrons of the Band Box and Shoe Bex, Miss Halt per sonally assisted with buying In the southern state.

Suits, according to Miss Hall, are the attlro for spring,' with swagger length coats. Spring attire, ordered for the Bnnd Box, has already started arriving from the San Francisco mnrkets. Skinners Garage Has Carload of New Buick Cars R. A. Skinner announces that he has received a carload of 1934 Bulclu which are now on display at Skin ner's Oarage on South Riverside.

Fern Valley Evans Crk. CCC To Have Radio Class A radio class, in which 35 men are enrolled, is belnc conducted at the Kvans Creek CCC camp, with Lieu tenant H. A. Harris as instructor. The men are learning the international code, and after three or four months instructions will take the tests for amateur operator. At the camp, where Captain John R. Murray Is commander, a transmit ter set is now under construction, and will be used in connection with thi ClSAS. Besides learning 1'ie code 'the men will alv be Instructed In servicing radio equipment. Lieutenant Barr;v in charge of the class now holds his amateur radio license. I wonder If docks and wharves are tinged with melancholy for others, too. Courtney Cooper and I, await ing flliner, prouled about the West street water front the other day. The first wharf I ever visited was, hand in hand, with an uncle. We had gone to see the bpdy of a citizen, drowned in the Ohio. I had but a single glance and turned sick. To this day a dock or pier-end brings vividly be fore me the puckered oyster white of a horribly bloated face. "CAPTURED"'.OPENS AT STUDIO TODAY "Captured I" one of the most Im portant pictures of the year, Is aald to be a powerful drama with an unusually strong love tale that Is laid In the German military prison camps during the World war. It opens to day at the Studio theatre with Les lie Howard, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Paul Lukas and Margaret Lindsay playing the stellar roles. Although most of the action takes place in the prlsoD camp, the strength of the story Is said to lie In the unusual triangle Involving Howard, Fairbanks and Lindsay who Is mar ried to Howard but discovers she loves Fairbanks. Both men are fel low prisoners in the same camp. Vivid dramas of love, hates, Jealousy, despair and even madness among the hundreds of men Incarcerated behind the German lines, are climated by a most sensational denounment. ROXY IS SHOWING WILL ROGERS FILM Will Rogers comes to the Roxy theatre today In his "Doctor Bull." It Is the screen presentation of the famous novel by James Gould Coz zens, "The Last Adam," best-seller and recent Book -of -the-Month selec tion. It Is reported as the most pow erful vehicle the popular philosopher comedian has had on the talking screen. The story concerns a physician in a small town who, In addition to ministering to the health of the community, acts as Its unofficial father confessor. None of the town's secrets escapes him. He knows the Inner life of every one of its Inhab itants. But It is not as a gossip that he finds himself Interested In the private lives of the village. He Is a mellow gentleman to whom every one's reactions are an Interesting bit of human document. The film does not present the story of one character. Like "State Fair," It deals with many characters, each typical of Its kind. It Is more than the story of one town. For It Js the story of thousands of similar towns all over the country.
