'BROADWAY BILL' E "Broadway BlU". the picture star ring Warner Baxter and Myrna Loy which has stormed through the east breaking records in box office in al most every large city on the Atlantic seaboard haa been secured by George Hunt for Its Pacific northwest pre mier on the evering of January 30 for the Roosevelt benefit party. It has been the idea of Mr. Hunt for some time to put on a theatre party to aid in the president's paral ysis control movement, so that those who do not care to dance may con tribute to the cause by this means. He Is giving the use of the theatre free of charge, and the employees are contributing their time in a generous move. The proceeds will go directly Into the relief fund. 70 percent of which will be returned to the community from which it la collected, and 30 per cent staying with the president's fund. The picture has been such an un qualified success that It Is unusual to have It for the one night showing a week before its regular appearance, and Mr. Hunt is receiving the con gratulations of the business men of the city today on his remarkable feat, The hit was directed by Frank Capra. the man who waa responsible for "It Happened One Night." "Lady For a Day," and many other box of fice record breakers, and the new pic ture only adds to his glory. Based upon Mark Helllnger'a maga zine story. "Broadway Bill" presents the romance of a man and a girl, both Imbued with the love of horses and a roving nature. Drama, pathos and humor are said to be blended in the screen play with the deft Caora touch. The story, according to re ports, offers Warner Baxter his great est role since "In Old Arizona." and presents Myrna Loy as a new and intriguing personality. In the aup- portlng cast are Walter Connoily, Helen. Vinson, Lynne Overman, Ray mond Walburn. Clarence Muse. Mar garet Hamilton and many others. The picture will return a week later for a regular run.

': : " -.. , i UIUVL LMUMUIILU BY ELKS LODGES Calling for "the flaming spirit of a crusade, Michael P. Shannon. grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent Hnd Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America, has launch ed a memorial to congress for legis lation deemed necessary to eradicate communist and other subversive in fluences in the country. This determination came with full knowledge that subversive Interests are being allowed to grow and spread unchecked by official action of our federal government and that correct ive bills of two sessions of congress have been permitted to die In com mittee. A challenge to all units of the order came In the form of a resolution from the Elks of Concord, Mass.. whose home stands almost on the spot where "the embattled farm ers sood" on that memorable day In April, 1775. The petitions now In the hands of the 1400 Elk lodges throughout the country cover eight points of legisla tion: , 1. Investigation of all subversive activities by the department of Jus tice with ample funds provided to furnish personnel and cover expenses, with discretionary authority to pub lish facta concerning individuals or organizations seeking to overthrow the government by force or violence. 2. Outlawing organizations having for their purpose the overthrow by force or violence of the American con stitutional government. 3. Making It a felony to advocate. promote or encourage such overthrow 4. Denying use of malls to publica tions advocating such overthrow or affiliated with outlawed organiza tions. 5. Prohibit Interstate transporta tion of such publications. 6. Making certain deportation of tllens seeking the overthrow of the United States government. 7. Denying entry Into the United States of aliens known to be out of harmony with American form of gov ernment. 8. Providing for revocation of nat uralization of naturalized citizens ad vocating overthrow or change of gov ernment through force or violence. With co-operation of the American Legion, the Junior Chamber of Com merce, the various service clubs and patriotic organizations, the citizens of each community will be afforded the opportunity of signing, thus Indi cating to their congressman and sen ators the conclusion that the time it at hand to enact such legislative measures as will permanently remove the menace of those who seek the overthrow of the government by force or violence. The petitions from all communities will be assembled at the Elks" Na tional Memorial building in Chicago on February 22, Washington's birth day, and there grouped by congres sional districts and taken to Wash ington for formal presenation to the United States senate and to the house of represenatlves. H. N. Butler, exalted ruler of Med- Elks' Lodge No. 1168, has received an allotment of petitions with Instruc tions for local handling. A copy may be found at any time at the Medford Chamber of Commerce for those citi zens who will want to sign. Legion naires, chambers of commerce and other patriotic citizens will join the members o' the Elka to see to It that these petitions are signed freely so that they may go on to Washington as nearly 100 per cent represnattlve of this community as possible. Thus there will be a demonstra tion of the aroused spirit of Ameri canism that exists in this country today. iMYTlME: TO MITE ana jrn. u V 1, .All ..!J I I" ' nO'-US '.It.1' with Brian Aheme Victoria Hopper PLUS Cartoon "flanker's Daufhter" ?rren Snapshot News UOMIJJ ..1 Yl I .A I aav v ,nw SV . The life of "The Mighty Barnum ' held Its share of romantic affaire and the bearded lady was not one to begrudge herself a chance to capture the heart of the great showman, as portrayed by Wallace Beery In the picture, "The Mighty Barnum," start ing a three-day run at the Crate rian theater today. The film play follows the rise of one of the most colorful characters this country has ever produced a man who started out with a small sideshow of freaks and built It to a peak of eminence no other man has ever reached. It shows the human side of Barnum and, with Beery in the title role, there Is much comedy STAGE REVIEW (By Dirk Applegute) With one of the best vaudeville performances to appear In Medford In a long time. Hunt's Craterian of fered rare entertainment to local the- ater goers last night, and if you, missed It, It's your own hard luck. Even with the splendid reputation that show house has for presenting the best in current circuit acts and pictures It would be extremely diffi cult to team two such entertaining features as "Hnppy Landings" and "One Hour Late," as was done In this billing. Several of the many vaudeville acts nearly stopped the show. Including a magician whose legerdemain had the entire house puzzled as he fished lighted cigarettes, and even a lighted pipe, from the circumambient air. The same type of act appeared here some lime ago but lacked the finesse with which last night's "Houdlnl" performed. A unique ball-bouncing act In which three performers kept a whole bucket full of tennis balls bouncing Intricately from one to another fur ther added to the show, as did the trained monkey act, which found Immediate favor with the huge audi ence. The act that would have made the show a success If the 'Stliers had not already done so was an hilarious bro ther and sister act, with bright cracks that were really funny, and pseudo-serious "spring dance" by the girl that practically, laid the house In the aisles. It waa swell. Dancing numbers, a good orchestra, a girl on a come-to-me-go-from-me piano rounded out the entirely satis- Shows 1:45 7:00-9:00 Tomorrow and Saturday RIDING with the NORTHWEST MOUNTED! im.rnrTn The apH1 of (he Yukon . . . the rlnmofir of rolfl . . . the thrill of adventure and the iinknoftn ... as onlv Curwood roitld tell It!

No one who saw Joe Morrison In The Old Faphloned Way and heard him sing "We'll Keep Rolling in Love" needs to be told what a fine singer he Is, and this quality, added to good acting by a good cast, presented a rare picture for an enthusiastic crowd. Jack Mulhollnnd, who has been mysteriously absent from the cinema for a long time, put In a brief ap pearance In this picture, and was welcomed by old fans.
