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.

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

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.
