RACHEL FIELDS
Dalton Boys on Screen
The picturization of the sen
sationally successful Rachel
Field novel, "All This. nd
Heaven Too." co-starring two of
the screen's greatest dramatic
stars Bette Davis and Charles
Boyer opens a three-day en
gagement today at the Craterian
theater.
As one of the most important
pictures on the 1940 schedule
"All This, and Heaven Too" was
produced on a lavish scale, with
no pains spared to make the
brilliant, absorbing novel come
to vibrant life on the screen.
From the starring team of Miss
Davis and Boyer down to the
smallest character "bit," the
film was cast witli minute care.
The story tells of a demure
little French governess seem
ingly destined for spinsterhood
w hose very existence was
threatened by a Parisian mur
der scandal, involving one of
France's greatest noblemen. But
she survives the ordeal to find
peace, security and happiness
in America. It is a bittersweet
romance that captures within it
nearly all the varying emotions
evoked by love in its many
phases, just as it is experienced
by men and women everywhere.
With Bette Davis as the gov
erness and Charles Boyer as the
Due de Praslin, who murders
his jealous wife because of her
treatment of the governess, the
film has been hailed by critics
everywhere as one of the most
brilliantly acted motion pictures
of the decade.
In support of the two stars
are Jeffrey Lynn, romantic
young leading man of the "Four
Daughters" series, as Henry
Field, the Young American min
ister who befriends the unfor
tunate governess; Barbara
O'Neil, most recently seen as
Scarlett O'Hara's mother in
"Gone With the Wind," In the
role of the jealous duchess; Vir
ginia Weidler, Henry Daniell,
Walter Hampden, George Cou
louris, Montagu Love, Helen
Westley, Harry Davenport, Janet
Beecher, June Lockhart, Fritz
Leiber, Ian Keith and many
others of prominence.

Credited with more action
and excitement than any mo
tion picture in the last 10 years,
"When The Daltons Rode"
comes to the Craterian theatre
Wednesday for a four day show
ing, the thrilling drama of the
Dalton gang,' last great outlaw
band of the old West. Broderick
Crawford (at the window).
Brian Donlevy and Frank Al
bertson, with Stuart Erwin as
the fourth brother, make up
the Dalton boys. Also in the
large cast are Randolph Scott,
Kay Francis, Andy Devine,
George Bancroft, Mary Gordon
and Harvey Stephens.
The climax of the film is the
celebrated Dalton raid on Cof
feyville in 1892. when the out
laws went to their destruction
attempting the old West s one
double bank robbery.
How he comes through with
colors flying, in the tradition
of the school, makes one of the
most thrilling climaxes ever
given to a picture of this type.
Smart Comedy Hit
''Private Affairs"
Opening At Rialto
Described as being modern
and breezy, "Private Affairs,"
a comedy with a background of
Boston's tradition-filled Black
Bay "snooties," brings Nancy
Kelly, Robert Cummings, Hugh
Herbert and Roland Young to
the Cool Rialto theatre for to
day and tomorrow only.
Young appears as the son of
n old Boston family who for
20 years- has chosen to remain
a "black sheep" rather than
submit to the dictation of his
staid family. And now Nancy
Kelly, his daughter, finds her
self in the same quandary,
ordered by her crotchety grand
father to marry a man she
doesn't love.
Robert Cummings plays the
man Nancy does love. Hugh
Herbert appears in a typically
hilarious role that represents a
variety of characters from
breezy cab driver to a Scottish
nobleman. The irascible grand'
father of Nancy is played by
Montagu Love. The supporting
cast includes such well known
funsters as G. P. Huntley, Jr.,
Granville Bates and . Mary
Forbes.
A highlight of the new com
edy is a New England celebra
Hon in which hundreds of resi-
dents of a village are dressed
as Puritans and in this local
Miss Kelly, with the help of
Hugh (Woo Woo) Herbert, is
able to do some caniving that
brings her outcast father back
into the tribe in time to save
the family fortunes.
The foursome are said to give
one of the sauciest, smartest,
swiftest and funniest acting ex
hibitions to come to the screen
in 1940.
"Military Academy," a time
ly drama of youth, its hopes,
its fears and ambitions, plays
a the companion featute with
"Private Affairs." Tommy Kelly.
David Holt. Bobby Jordon and
Jackie Searl have the starring
roles. Tommy Kelly is seen ai
the son of a notorious racketeer,
placed in a military academy
under another name. Here he
becomes a hero of the school
until boom the bubble burs'
and he is. through a scandal
about his father, made the
laughing stock of the academy.

GOOD RAINS DROP
PRICES Oil CORN
Chicago, Aug. 10. OF) Good
rains over a large part of the
corn belt and a more bullish
estimate by the government on
the size of the 1940 crop today
drove corn prices down.
Wheat was unchanged to Vt
up. September 73:-74, Decem
ber 74'8-75.
The official government esti
mate on the 1940 corn crop was
a disappointment to the trade
because it said the loss by heat
and drought was only seven
per cent.
Wheat broke sharply at the
start, also losing around a cent
a bushel, but later rallied to
recover all losses. Wheat was
weakened by corn and also by
the official estimate that the
small grains crop would be
much larger than heretofore
expected.
War news had but a minor
effect on the market. It was
noted that German advices said
Germany was well fixed for
food, but that occupied coun
tries were in a bad way because
of the British blockade.

decomposed body of a middle-

Meacham about 300 yards off
the old Oregon Trail highway,
was tentatively identified today
as that of Albert C. Goetze, 68.
Goetze, a CCC saw-filer of
Ashland, has been missing from
Crater Lake national park since
September, 1939.
Coroner Allen Folsom said the
man apparently had been dead
since spring.
Sheriff Robert Goad, investi
gating the possibility of foul
play, said he believed the victim
was dragged into the brush.
Supporting his theory that the
body was Goetze's. the sheriff
said he once worked for the
CCC at the former Emigrant
springs camp near Meacham.
A widespread search of Crater
Lake park after Goetze's disap
pearance failed to reveal any
trace of hit whereabouts. Sheriff
Goad said Goetze's wife still
lived at Ashland. In addition,
he hat two daughters living in
California.
