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.

Hollywood, June 21. (P)
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, urg
ing that the United States stay
out of war, says "the only way
European civilization can be
saved is by ending the war
quickly through a negotiated
peace.
"The alternative to a negoti
ated peace," he told an over
flow crowd in 20.000-seat Hol
lywood bowl last night, "is
either a Hitler victory or a pros
trate Europe, and possibly a
prostrate America as well. I tell

American life and ideals can be
preserved is by staying out of

type of war we now consider
entering."

Rookie Picture On
Rialto Bill Draw
All On Draft List
If patrons of the Rialto thea
tre are of draft age and would
like to get a "preview" of rookie
life in the army, in addition to a
world of entertainment and
good old down-to-earth laughs,
then "Rookies on Parade" which
opens for today and tomorrow
at the popular Main street show
house, is decidedly their dish
or even if they are below 21 and
over 28, they'll find one of the
funniest shows they have ever
seen. Because, according to ad
vance reports, "Rookies On Pa
rade" is a hundred times more
hilarious than "Buck Privates"
and with that record in the
bag what more could be pro
mised than a rousing good Urn
for young and old alike.
Starring Bob Crosby, the pop
ular young band leader with hii
"Bobcats", and Eddie Foy, Jr.,
Marie Wilson, Ruth Terry, Ger
trude Niescn, Sidney Blackmer
and Cliff Nazarro, "Rookies On
Parade" features six new song
hits including: "You'll Never
Get Rich". "I Love You More",
"My Kind of Music", "My Moth
er Never Told Me Why" and
"What More Do You Want?"
The crowd stood and gave
Lindbergh a shouted, hat-throwing,
flag-waving ovation as he
began his speech, his first in the
