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.

police were notified that he was

on the bank of Rogue river
about a mile downstream from
Bybee bridge, with footsteps
leading from the hat to the

The search was carried on for
a week, during which time no

STYLES FOR YEAR
Washington. 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.

"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
