BARBARA STANWYCK,
IE MEHDU IN
; SUNDAY II DISH
With a record of critical ac
claim rarely achieved by any
motion picture, "Golden Boy"
"comes to the Craterian theater
today for a three-day engage
ment with Barbara Stanwyck,
Adolphe Menjou and the sensa
tional newcomer, William Hol
den, in the starring roles
. "Golden Boy" is the story of
youth with the sensitive soul
of a great musician and the
mauling fists of a champion
-prize-fighter. Tired of working
-toward artistic triumphs in some
nebulous future, the boy aban
dons his art to win for himself
quick success as a prize-ring kill
er. "Golden Boy" is the thrill
ing story of that decision; but.
more importantly, it is the por
trayal of the tremendous con
flict which rages when the youth
attempts to force both himself
-and his family to believe that
his decision is the right one.
. William Holden, in the title
-role, is the 21-year-old collegi
ate who won the part over 3,000
other candidates and his charac
terization of Joe Bonaparte is
said to augur a sure success in
Tiis screen future.
Barbara Stanwyck is said to
give the most absorbing dra
matic performance of her ca
rreer. . As Lorna Moon, the dis
illusioned young woman who
finds romance in the adoration
of the "Golden Boy," Miss Stan
wyck's characterization is one
. ure to find favor.
As the caustic, harassed man
ager of the "Boy" and suitor of
Xorna Moon, Adolphe Menjou
adds another triumph to his al
ready long list.
Others include Joseph Cal
leia, Lee J. Cobb, Sam Levene,
Ed Brophy, Frank Jenks and
Beatrice Blinn.

FOR RETER PEARS
Medford pears have won an
other enthusiastic booster, It li
shown by a letter received by
the Reter Fruit company from
Mrs. Marie Grant, 5843 North
Magnolia avenue, Chicago. The
letter follows:
"Quite recently I came upon
a russet pear in the market and
because of its beautiful color
ing, decided it would fit in per
fectly with my autumn table
decorations. Naturally I decided
to learn of its flavor and was
so entranced with its meaty
quality and tanginess of taste
that now the average pear holds
no attraction for me. Only to
day did I see a wrapper with
your name; hence I grasp the)
opportunity to obtain some of
your health hints and also the
booklet for children.
"This pear is most satisfying
for eating to stave off that aft
ernoon hunger and is excellent
in salads. I hope It will be on
the Chicago market for some
time to come."
