ALLIED WELFARE
BODY HOLDS MEET
One of the funniest stories ever
written, if not the funniest of all.
is Thsrne Smith s "Night Life of the
Gods," in which a young scientist
discovers a way of bringing statues
to life, and vice 'ersa, making peo
ple into statues. The book Is now
in Its 12th edition and still going
strong.
Lowell Sherman, whose genius
made him one of Hollywood's top
ranking directors, and whose par
ticular forte was comedy and satire,
was given the directing Job on the
picture and told to "turn himself
loose." His Instructions to the cast
were typically Sherman: -Enter here,
and act like hell! '
To those who have read the story,
the action of the screen play, which
starts today at the Rialto theater.
will be a revelation in following the
same mad comedy which character
ized the bcok. For those who haven't
as yet read the novel , t he picttire
will prove equally funny, as the
grds and goddesses of ancient Greece
are brought to life and start on a
wild rampage of one night of hi
larity along Broadway.

Fra Diavolo. the principal part In
the opera of that name which cornea
to the Craterian theater Wednesday
evening. May 8th. gives a splendid
opportunity to the people of Medford
to see a truly great artist In one of
his finest portrayals. James Stevens
for years has been one of the best
known and best liked baritones In
American light opera, a reputation
won through successful appearance in
all of the principal cities of the
United States. One of the triumphs
of his career came when he was se
lected by Reginald de Koven, the
composer, to sing the part of Little
John In the all star revival of the
opera Robin Hood In New York,
which was directed by the composer.
Many other eastern engagements fol-
of the wave when a serious Illness
forced his retirement. Coming to
Medford to regain bis health, he has
remained here and for years has
been a leader In musical events
throughout southern Oregon.
As the reckless, debonair but ruth
less bandit whose exploits have ter
rorized the countryside and aur
rounded his very name with an aura
of superstition among the simple na
tives, Jim has a part which projects
his magnetism and personality across
the footlights and which will hold
his audience' spellbound from the
first curtain until the cllmutlo finale.
Fra Diavolo runs the gamut of dra
ma, comedy, tense thrills and tragedy
In the setting of a glorious musical
background. When Medford people
see James Stevens In the part they
will be watching a characterization
lowed and Jim, was riding the crest without a peer anywhere.
