Starting today t the Haw craterian
theatre, as the latest cS their new
ahow season offerings, li Erich Re
marque' "The Road Back," sequel
to fat famous "All Quiet on the West
ern Front," which created outstand
ing success seven years ago, both as
a, novel and as a motion picture of
more than ordinary merit.
Again, as In "All Quiet, many set
principles of Hollywood production
have been set aside and the story Is
allowed to tell Itself, The result
therefore, The Road Back la a pic
ture that will undoubtedly be quite
provocative of much comment. Stark
drama, tinged with comedy, It la a
picture of deep understanding with
much human Interest.
At the present time, with news
paper headlines dally promising the
outbreak of another war In Europe,
with Japan and Shlna at each oth
er's throats, there Is much that is
deep and significant In "The Road
Back. Though It may well be con
sidered a preachment against such
mad strife, nonetheless It la first of
all entertainment of high degree. A
story of German boys who came home
from war to find no flags waving
no bands playing for them, and only
fear, suspicion and hate, they might
well be the youth of any nation at
any time, even the future. Forced to
oast aside the standards by which
they have been living and adapt
themselves to peace again, some are
able to do so, others are not. "The
Road Back" tells their story with a
force that has won much editorial
comment from newspapers through -eut
the country.
In the newsreel which appears on
the same program with "The Road
Back," the scenes of the Rogue Val
ley Golf club during the formal ded
ication of the H. Chandler Egan me
morial last Sunday, are being shown.
Presided over by "Bobby Jones, as
sisted by the country's foremost golf
offlolals and players, these same
scenes are being released nationally
and will bring favorable publicity to
Medford and the Rogue river valley.
