PAGE SEVEN Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant In "Holiday" On Craterian Screen anSPFOKP MAIL TRTKHyTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUXE 26. 1938 AS SEION IN PHILLIP The Idea that ' money and the ac cumulation of money are not the main purposes of life la the moti vating theme of the famous Phillip Barry play, "Holiday," adapted to the screen and opening a three day run today at the Craterian theatre. With Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant co-starred, the film Is said to give these two players the finest roles of their careers, and Intro duces an entirely new Hepburn per sonality that Is expected to lift her right back to the peak of her popularity. "Holiday" la the atory of a re bellious socialite who knows a real man when she sees one, and a young man who Insists upon doing his own groping In life's grab-bag. rather than marry a million-dollar baby. Hepburn plays the role of Linda Seton, a caste-shackled girl consid ered the "black sheep" of her money-grubbing family, who tries to conceal her affection for her sister's fiance. Cary Grant Is Johnny Case, who plans to earn Just enough money to retire while he is still young so he can take a holiday long enough to think things over. Doris Nolan Is the girl with whom Cary romps Into romance, charming, but Imbued with the Idea that family and finance should be twin lodestars; Henry Kolker Is the elder Seton, a highly polished financial tycoon: Lew Ayres Is the brother who drinks as a substitute for thought, and to make endurable his dutiful career as a mogul-to-be: Edward Everett Horton and Jean Dixon play the Potters, a couple who know how to compensate for the ridiculous In life by a stream of casual nonsense. Grant's Introduction to the un suspected splendor of the Seton mansion, his fllp-flopa among the Louis Qulnze furnishings to over come a temptation to become awed. Hepburn's lessons in acrobatics, and the Impromptu Punch and Judy show staged by Horton and Mixx Dixon are among the highlight of the film.

HEATH S DRU0 STORE Famous Novel On I ' The world premier showing of Gene Btratton-Porter's "Romance of the Llmberlost" opens Wednesday at the Craterian theater for a four-day run.

The setting la the Llmberlost, STEER ON BRIDGE TO T For a quarter of a century aa a United States forest service officer District Ranger Leo Port took every situation that confronted him in his stride. Then a very silly steer crossed his path and the efficient officer be came frankly stumped. Sometime Thursday night, the steer, owned by Fred Straub, tried to walk across the narrow, swinging wire foot bridge spanning the Big Applegate river near Star ranger sta tion. The steer progressed about SO feet along the 300-foot bridge and then slipped. His legs and head got tangled in the wire meshes. When he was discovered Friday morning, he was dead. There was Mr. Port's problem. How was the steer to be removed? All day Friday Mr. Port cogitated, assisted by numerous amateur puzzle solvers. Mr. Port couldn't very well pack the animal on his back and walk with him. He couldn't set up hoisting ma chinery and lift the steer because A 540 Show.

There Laurie, orphan girl of the swamps, la about to be forced Into marriage with a bestial drunkard, by Aunt Nora, who threat ens to tell a scandal about her moth er. Into this situation comes the young attorney Wayne, whose love for the girl solves the solution to an awkward circumstance that arises when Corson, the drunkard, is killed on the eve of the wedding. the animal would have to be un tangled first, and untangling the crit ter was the toughest Job of all. Be. sides there wasn't any hoisting ma chinery. A crew couldn't work on extricating the steer because the bridge was only 38 Inches wide and there wasn't room for the men and the steer too. So Mr. Port took his problem to bed with him and yesterday he had a solution. He would let the bridge guy-wires out and thus permit the animal to drop to the ground 12 feet below. The steer had not got over the water, though he was close to the edge. With Mr. Port directing operations, a crew of five men, a team of horses and a pair of double blocks did the Job yesterday morning. Ropes were tied around the steer, the bridge wires were loosened and the animal was lowered to the ground. Then he was hauled up over the bank to the roadside and there delivered to Mr. Straub. Mr. Straub dragged the animal home. Mr. Port though the animal tried to cross the bridge to get to some green grass on the opposite side. "It was the first time In all my ex perience I ever saw a head of cattle try to cross a narrow, swinging foot bridge,' Mr. Port sighed. " " When cattle get down and can't get up again, they don't live very long for some odd reason, the ranger said. wits ...miOAT .a11 ... inve Wth LAffEEJfOE 0LIVM MIP.KPV RHflNPY . ...
