With attendance of one thoua&nd
eager youngsters, (he "Chime of
Normandy." student production of tne
Medford hizh achoo:. was given In
itial performance Friday morning.
This performance, a special mat
inee, was presented in the auditor
ium of the local high school with a
ease of 81 persons. Months of prep
aration on the part of the music,
vocal, and setting departments were
necessary to turn out this finished
musical gem. With a change of scenes

stage the "Chlmts of Normandy," but
under supervision of Mrs. Alice Eng
lish, the four sets were succesfully
completed.
Harvey Field, cast as Henri tne
Marquis of Cornevllie, gave a stellar
performance with his rich baritone
and outstanding acting.
Mary Kem, Germalne the lost
Marchioness, and Constance Moore,
Serpollette. the village Rood-for-not'n-lnc
both gave a commendable per
formance. Gaspard, a miser, was depleted by
Robert Murphy who displayed re
markable talent In this pantomlna
favorite. Olaf Severson played Jean
Grcnicheux. a fisherman, winning
the approval of the younger audi
ence. The notary, the registrar, and the
assessor, were played by Raymond
Erlckson. Bob Cherry, and Laurel
Morris, respectively.
The village maidens were taken
by Elaine Brophy. Betty Paske, Ellon
Louise Belts, and Eleanora Poffen
barger. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings

Fay Wray and James Blakely are

REVIEW
"Liittie miss Marser," me plcturlza
tlon of Damon Runyon's widely-read
magazine story of the same name,
opens today at the Roxy theatre, with
Adolphe Menjou, porothy Dell,
Charles Blckford and five-year-old
Shirley Temple in the principal roles.
The story Is a sentimental yarn of
s litle girl left as security for a rac
ing bet.
By Olrk Applegate
When a panther and a deer live In
perfect harmony from babyhood to
maturity without the panther de
vouring the deer, that's news. But
when photographers film an entire
picture where Just that does occur,
that's news that should be shouted
abroad throughout the country. Yet
that Is Just what happens in "Se
quela," the picture which closed at
the Craterlan last night.
It la really quite the most unusual
and beautiful thing of Its kind that
I have ever seen. The photography Is
startling and splendidly done. Every
shot In the picture, If made Into a
"sun ' would be suitable for fram
ing. And the plot moves swiftly and
smoothly through to Ha unusual climax.
It la absolutely unbelievable that
the scenes appearing In the picture
could ever be obtained, yet there
they are. Most ahows In which ani
mals play the lead are so blatantly
faked as to appear ridiculous, but not
so in this, if some of the pictures are
faked, It Is Impossible to detect
where, and I for one, don't think that
they were. Years of patient waiting
must have been spent In obtaining
the proper effects.
IX you happen to be a deer hunter,
the picture will probably make you
feel a bit guilty. While deer hunting
last year, I took several shots at
deer, but I'm glad now, or at least
almost so, that I'm such a lousy
marksman. Practically living with a
deer for most of Its life span, aa one
docs In "Sequoia," Is apt to make one
feel that way.
Jean Parker plays the feminine
lead, and does so very well, but her
part la very subservient to that play
ed by the wild animals. The picture

"--as advertised
HOW many times you see those two words in the course of a
day's shopping: "This article for sale "as advertised."
And those two words are as welcome as they are familiar,
for they form a bond of confidence between the merchant and
yourself. They are his guarantee to you of worth and value.
Here is an article that has been described in your newspaper.
Its merits have been told; possibly, too, its price. You know ,
exactly what you will get when you buy it. You know its quality,
its utility; you know how it fits into your needs. And when you
buy it, you know you are getting not some unproved substitute
but the specified article as represented. ,
It is easy to understand why that phrase, "as advertised,"
creates a feeling of confidence. You have learned to depend upon
consistently advertised products. You know that the maker has
confidence in them, else he would not spend money calling your
attention to them day after day, and month after month. You
know that they have been approved by the most critical of Inves
tigatorsthe buying public. And above all you know from ex
perience that buying goods "as adertised" is the best investment
you can make.
It pays to read the advertisements.
