The dramatic conflicts con cealed behind the term and . sterile features of young men V'of medicine their loves and glories, enmities and failures comprise the provocative theme of "Disputed Passage," which opens a three-day run today at the Craterian theatre. Based on the best-selling Lloyd C. Doug las novel, the picture presents Dorothy Lamour, John Howard and Akim Tamiroff in top roles. Dorothy Lamour is given her first really big dramatic role, that of an American girl, born ' in the Orient, who is brought up by Chinese foster parents when her true parents have died. To discharge her debt of honor, she has returned to America to seek help for the sorely-pressed Chinese. She meets and falls in love with Howard, a brilliant young surgeon and protege of Tamir off, who plays a world-renowned , medical professor and neurolog ic ical surgeon. Tamiroff, who has been the young doctor's inspir ation and guiding star, is a stub born, vitriolic professor, wor shipping science as a god. Hu man emotions count for nothing with him. "There is a standing reward," he states, "to anyone who can find the human soul." Hearing of Howard's contem plated marriage and convinced that it will ruin a great career, Tamiroff explains his belief to the girl and persuades her his opinion is correct. She sails for China and resumes her work at the battlefront. Football flashes of the Oregon-Oregon State football game filmed yesterday in Eugene have been added to today's program.
