PAGE SEVEN Louts-Conn Fight Films With Rollicking "Pot 0' Gold" Hit at Craterian MF.DFOTD MATT. TOTBITNE. OT.DFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY. JUNE 22. 1941. THIRTEEN ROUND THRILLER SHOWN IN SPECIAL FILM James Stewart, Paulette Goddard in "Pot 0' Gold" Leads on Same Bill. With the official Jo Loula- Billy Conn fight pictures as a special added attraction on the same program. Pot O Gold , starring James Stewart and Pau lette Goddard, with Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights and Charles Winninger topping the supporting cast, opens s three day run today at the Cra terian theatre. Easily the outstanding heavy weight championship battle in recent years, a fight that almost saw a new champion crowned, the Louis-Conn fight pictures t have evoked more comment than any shown here since the memorable battle in which Schmeling knocked out Louis before he became champ. Young Billy Conn, the fighter who al most upset the "dope bucket" and had the championship with in hit grasp, only to become careless and get knocked out in the 13th round, is shown batter ing the famous Brown Bomber from pillar to post, "dishing it out" with a grin on his hand some face. All important blows and knockdowns are shown in slow motion. The fight pictures, filmed at the Polo Grounds in Mew York Wednesday night, were rushed to Portland by air express and from there sent to Medford, giv ing sport fans here a "scoop" attraction. Pot O" Gold", the last picture Jimmy Stewart will be shown in for quite some time, now that he's in the army, is based on the sensational radio program that had millions of Americans excit edly waiting for a thousand dol lar telephone call every week. Made into a comedy-romance, with Horace Heidt's music thrown in for good measure, the picture shows what complica tions can ensue when a young man with ideas takes over a stagnant radio program.
