Newspaper Page TextPAGE SEVew Craterian's "Movie Quiz" Hit With Charlie McCarthy Opens Today fEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, fE'DFO'RT), . OREGON. RTSTDAY. SEPTEMBER 25.1933. ADOLPHE MENJOU IN CAST OF SPARKLING COMEDY WITH BERGEN ' Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mc Carthy are starred in "Letter of In troduction," the new Movie Quir contest picture opening a three-day run today at the Crater lan Theatre. Adolphe Menjou, Andrea Leeds and George Murphy share top honors with Charlie, with Rita Johnson, Ann Sheridan. Eve Arden and Ern est Cossart In strong supporting roles. Marking the first time that the famous Bergen-McCarthy team has appeared In acting parts although they had a specialty In a, previous picture "Letter of Introduction" proves thpt even a wooden dummy can act when given the proper, en couragement. In this case It's a rival dummy. Mortimer Snerd. Bergen who "manages" both Mc Carthy and the new screen sensa tion, put Mortimer into the picture just to get even with Charlie, who seems to have been getting a swelled head recently. Mortimer, a buck-toothed farmer boy dummy, claims he Is from Iowa, being the chief squirt on a dairy farm before going into the movies. He has red hair, blue eyes, buck teeth and a shock of unruly hair. His clothes are strictly mall-order variety end look like they took a long time in being delivered. '. Charlie says he's "just a peasant, an uncouth oaf." And there the "matter stands. The story of "Letter of Introduc tion" presents Bergen as a strug gling ventriloquist who, meeting Menjou, Is started on his road to success and fame. The Bergen-McCarthy sequences include his ap pearances in swanky New York night clubs, his gradual rise to farme, and his ultimate success on the air. Joe . Brown Stars In New Rialto Hit With June Travis Joe E. Brown in "The Gladiator," with June Travis, Robert Kent and Man Mountain Dean, the bearded behemoth of ring fame, heads the double bill opening at the Rialto Theater for today and tomorrow. Departing from his customary characterizations, the cavern mouthed comedian, In his newest of fering, portrays the role of a sclen-tlfflcally-created superman. Brown, returning to Webster Col lege as a sophomore. Is beaten and bludgeoned on the football field in the spirit of good clean fun when he attempts to impress Miss Travis, the belle of the campus. That night the Professor who owns the board ing house where Brown resides se lects Brown as the unwitting sub ject of an experiment to Increase the human normal strength many fold. The experiment works. From that point on the story of "The Gladiator" la as amazing aa it is amusing, picturing Brown as a virtual one-man Olympic team and a co-ed favorite from coast to coast. Man Mountain Dean, the ponder ous comic mainstay of the American wrestling ring, and Brown come to grips In the climactic wrestling match, said to be one of the most spectacular and hilarious sequences ever captured by movie cameraa. "Penrod's Double Trouble," taken from the famous Booth Tarfclngton stories of Penrod and his Junior G Men, plays as the added feature with Joe's hilarious comedy. The Msuch Twins have the starr ing roles with Gene and Kathleen Lockhart in support.

The rain decreased fire hazards for the time being but the lightning cattsed several small fires. The storm did no agricultural dam age in the valley and in general the rain was beneficial, County Agent Robert G. Fowler said. Fog reduced visibility in various parts of the forest areas yesterday and it was thought that when the mist cleared other fires might be found. First hunter's fire of the year was reported by the state forest service. It covered about an acre and a half In an Inaccessible part of the Rock creek area. It was caused by a hunt er's signal fire built to attract lost members of the party, the district warden's office reported yesterday. The fire patrol found two stray pack horses near the scene and took them to a camp at Railroad gap, the war den's office said. The lost hunters were found, the office was informed.
