OP) Dorothy Thompson, 14, testified today that protestations of love, promises of an education and finally fear of the police caused her to leave her Livingston, Cal., home and go with Merrill Busby to San Francisco and finally to Oregon. The girl told the story as the first prosecution witness against Busby on charges of child steal ing, abduction and conspiracy. Busby's sister, Sally Stanford, and Dorothy Heber, both of San Francisco, have been similarly charged but will be tried sep arately. Answering questions put by Leo R. Friedman, defense at torney, the girl said she stayed with the 28-year old Busby in several San Francisco hotels but always resisted his advances. Attack Claimed She asserted, however, she was attacked near Cave Junc tion, Ore., after they had fled from San Francisco to elude police. The girl testified Busby told her the police were looking for her and said she would be put in a detention home if caught. It was then, she said, that they made arrangements to go on to Oregon in a borrowed automo bile. The girl asserted she was criminally assaulted while they were in hiding near Cave Junc tion, and again shortly before they were taken into custody in that vicinity. Dr. W. G. Bishop, of Med ford, Ore., who examined the girl shortly after the capture, testified yesterday for the prose cution that he could not deter mine definitely from physical evidence whether she had sex ual experience. He said it ap peared "possible and even prob able." Snite Holding Own. Portland, Dec. 7.

M '" ji "Llano Kid" Tito Guizar, the handsome young Mexican singing star, has a role right out of O. Henry in his new picture, "The Llano Kid," which heads the double barreled bill of action hits com ing to the New Rialto theater for tomorrow and Saturday only. Starred for the first time, Guizar plays a western outlaw who attempts to imper sonate the long-lost son and heir of a wealthy ranching fam ily. He's assisted in the pic ture anil in the conspiracy by Gale Sandergaard and Alan Mowbray. June Clayton has the romantic lead opposite the guitar-playing Mexican. "Rough Riders' Round - Up," starring Roy Rogers, will play as the second western hit James Stewart and Jean Arthur Score In Frank Capra Hit There has arisen a Capra tra dition, a conviction of a certain special and pervading magic a magic thrice acclaimed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and long counted first by countless movie-goers throughout the world. That same magic was never in such full flower as in Frank Cnpra's latest production to reach the screen, "Mr. Smith Goes lo Washington," which opened yes terday at the Craterian theater to a capacity crowd. This essentially plain, power ful presentation of an implicit ly American story about a boy who got into congress en a pass, and stayed in to whip the gas house gang under their own rules, is by any and all meas ures Frank Capra's greatest picture. Mr. Capra's hero is a young man appointed to the senate by a controlled governor to serve the unexpired term of an ex pired junior senator, and take orders from the venal senior senator, who takes his from a plundering publisher. : Enamored of the Lincoln pre cedent, the youngster stumbles upon the truth about his ap pointment and is ridden down by the machine when he at tempts to expose the steal. Fac ing expulsion, he filibusters single-handedly to such persistent length that his naively earnest eloquence breaks down the pow ers arrayed against him. Sim ple as it sounds in synopsis, the story is, as told, as deep and sound and powerful as any the screen has ever offered. . Next to Capra, to whom top credit for all Capra pictures unquestionably belongs, the up right and oncoming James Stew art rates lasting acclaim for a performance good enough to cinch the Academy award in any year. Close up on his lead is Jean Arthur, bettering any thing she's done previously, and TODAY end FRIPAT In Her Darkest Hour Of Despair . . . She Won A Victory Few . Women Know!

Academy award winner for 1935 and 1938, goes on to new triumphs in "Dark Victory," the soul-stirring drama of a woman who found a great er victory than few women will ever' find handicapped by the fact that blindness will separ ate her from the man she loves The film, which is expected to win her the Academy award for the third time, plays today and tomorrow only at the Roxy theater. George Brent is again co-starred. bunched closely for next honors are Claude Rains as the culp able senior senator, Edward Ar nold as the plotting publisher, Guy Kibbee as the puppet gov ernor and Harry Carey as the president of the senate. Thomas Mitchell, Eugene Pallette and the others do their jobs no less competently, for that is the hall mark of a Capra production. No Mistake Corvallis, Dec. 7.
