Most of them are so independent they are virtually disqualified for marriage. "I expect to (i iuio a huddle with my organization, and I can assure those 100,000 wait ing widows of California that they no longer need regard their outlook on life as being hopeless." 1 ,TTT SOLVED BY PI MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1940 - ... , vv William Powell and Myrna Loy, long hailed as the screen's most popular "Mr. and Mrs." team, comes to the Craterian Theatre starting today in "An other Thin Man," third of the scintillating detective series which has swept the nation with a shower of laughs. Like its famous predecessors, the story of "Another Thin Man" combines a puzzling and intriguing murder mystery with the happy, gay and sometimes hectic married life of Nick and Nora Charles, the detective pair whom Powell and Miss Loy created so delightfully in the first picture of the series. The picture takes Nick and Nora to New York for a holiday trip and with them comes Asta. the waggish wire-haired terrier, who contributed so much mirth to the first two pictures. Also with them is a Thin Man, Jr., the new and very small son of the Thin Man pair, played by the baby screen find of the year, eight-months-old William Poulsen. Once in New York, their holi day plans are blasted when Col. Burr MacFay, financial adviser to Nora, is mysteriously slain on his Long Island estate. Nick takes a hand in the investiga tion of the case and even Nora's curiosity gets the better of her and she attempts to help Nick in his detecting. Between ex changing characteristic "Thin Man" banter with Nora, rescu ing her from New York night spot dives and overseeing a hi larious baby party given in hon or of Nickie, Jr., by his under world friends, Nick deduces his way to the killer and traps the criminal in typical Nick Charles fashion. Others in the carefully selec ted supporting cast include Vir ginia Grey, Otto Kruger, C. Au brey Smith, Ruth Hussey, Nat Pendleton, Patric Knowles and Tom Neal.

The story has a warmly hu man and serious theme running through it, offering proof that no matter how many difficul ties marriage may entail, two people really in love would go back and do it all over again if they had the chance.
