Steinbeck's Book 'Of Mice and Men' Craterian Feature No one who had read the book when it was first publish ed ever expected to see John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" appear as a film. It was too daring a subject, treated with a stark reality that was un heard of in pictures. And yet a film version, true to the very spirit of Steinbeck's novel, opened yesterday at the Crater ian theatre and proved once again that the screen is more powerful than the printed word. Ut Mice and Men is a pic ture that will not be forgotten quickly. "Powerful" is the word that probably describes it best. It tells a new kind of story. startlingly different from other film stories. It tells of two men. "bindle-stiffs," o r migratory workers, and the friendship be tween them: Lennie, huge, hulking and not too bright, and George, small, alert, and the protector of his large compan ion. Lennls Is played with con summate skill by Lon Chaney, Jr., while Burgess Meredith has what is -undoubtedly the finest role of his long career as George. There is another character in the story who helps make the picture one that establishes it as one of the great dramas in years. Played by Betty Field. Mae is the unhappy wife of a ranch owner's son whose desire for human companionship, par ticularly a man's companion ship, brings the picture to a stunning climax. For Mae does not realize the strength of Len nie's huge hands, or the strange. half-witted passions that stir his brain. There are others in the cast Charles Bickford and Roman Bohncn are two outstanding principals who help round out the story and he action, but it is Lennie and George and Mae around whom the drama centers. And "drama" in this particular case, is drama with a vengeance stark, real, livid, powerful! "Of Mice and Men" is an experience that no adult film fan should miss.

They rowed about a quarter of a mile to the spot where the body was found. Loesch was lying against a log In a little offshoot of the north channel, only a small part of his back showing above water. This part of the river wss jammed with logs and flot sam, and police said the body probably would have remained undiscovered indefinitely if the boys hadn't made tlieir mistake In direction. Last Seen March 20 The boys rowed to Gold Ray dam, where a telephone call was made to authorities here at 2:30 p.m. State police, the coroner's office and Deputy Sheriff Denton Clark obtained two boats at the dam and made their way upstream to. remove the body. Loesch was last seen about 9:30 on the night of Match 20 by his son-in-law and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Orville C. Hamil ton of Table Rock, with whom he had made his home for the past five years. Two days later police were notified that he was missing and a search was insti tuted after his hat was found on the bank of Rogue river about a mile downstream from Bybee bridge, with footsteps leading from the hat to the river. The search was carried on for a week, during which time no trace was found of the missing man. Authorities were finally forced to abandon their efforts and to await just such a dis covery as occurred yesterday.

May 27 OI.Rl Needs of the national defense program may mean that 1942 automobiles will be the same model as those for 1941. This possibility was raised In Washington today after Secre tary of Treosury Henry Morgen thau. Junior, announced that the machine tool industry must sup ply at least $200,000,000 In new machine tools for the defense program. If this industry must devote all Its resources to national de fense, there may be no opportu nity to develop machinery for new auto designs. Myrna Loy, George Brent In Dramatic Film Now At Roxy "The Rains Came." the sen sationally successful best-seller by Louis Bromfield, was pre sented at the Roxy theatre last night with Myrna Loy, Tyrone Power and George Brant in the stellar roles. A truly great motion picture has been made of Bromfield's thrilling story of handful of humans, cut off from the world in the colorful mythical city of Ranchipur, India their emo tions at the breaking point, their lives at the climax, and all re straint swept away as the un tamed forces of nature ravage the earth. All the fascinating characters come magica'.ly to life and the earthquake, fire and flood scenes are reproduced with a breath-taking realism un- 1 with SLOWER-BURNING Mystery Star George Sanders stars in the latest of The Saint pictures based on the popular mystery stories of Leslie Charteris, "The Saint's Double Trouble," which comes to the New Rialto theatre for tomorrow and Wednesday as the added feature with "The Ghost Comes Home," starring Frank Morgan in his most hi larious role.
