MITDFORD. OftEC:0T, SUNT) AT. JTTTT 13. i94T Y, Film Claimed To Be Team's Goofiest Florence Bates In Cast. William Powell goes through mntics ranging from getting hit head caught in an elevator shaft to masquerading as a woman in the goofiest series of adventures he has ever attempted in "Love Crazy," In which he and Myrna Loy co-star, again as husband and wife, but this time under turbulent circumstances. The new pictures come today to the Craterian Theatre. Powell and Miss Loy start the fun rolling by planning a wedding anniversary in which they do everything backward, such as starting a dinner with dessert and ending with soup. Powell chews up a phonograph record because he wants to dance by taking it internally to prove he's crazy when Miss Loy decides to divorce him and he learns that crazy people can't be divorced. His scheme kicks back when the alienists get hold of him and are completely fooled by his an tics. They're convinced that he's really crazy and then he has the problem of avoiding the asylum, with comical complica tions piling one on the other. The cast surrounding the two principal funmakers includes Gail Patrick as .Powell's ex sweetheart who starts Myrna out In a jealous rage to divorce Friend Husband, Jack Carson as Powell's friend and confidant, and Florence Bates, who plays his mother-in-law and who comes in for a big share of the opportunities for comedy.

Joan Bennett And Franchot Tone In Comedy At Rialto Both Joan Bennett and Fran chot Tone, who open for today and tomorrow only at the Rialto Theatre in "She Knew All the Answers", make refreshingly different appearances, accord ing to advance reports on the hectic new comedy which is said to create a new laugh team to make the Powell-and-Loys and the Russell-and-Douglasas sit up and take notice that their fun days are practically limit ed. Miss Bennett is a wise-cracking young Broadway night club star who goes to work, both lit erally and figuratively, on Wall Street. Tone is said to be equal ly enjoyable as a stiff-necked. ultra-conservative Wall Street broker that is, until Miss Ben nett moves in and shows the boys a few tricks. "She Knew All the Answers,' a love-and-laugh farce, is based upon the Cosmopolitan Maga zine story by Jane Allen. The story is concerned with Miss - of ALL the TO ASK A She knew all the answers and most of them wera "NO"Il . . .

II Hope is said to run a one-man riot in this hilarious story of rookie life in the army, tossing the wisecracks where they may, trying to marry Dottle, the col onel's daughter, getting into and out of one scrape after another, and all in all bringing to the screen one of the funniest pieces of nonsense ever filmed. Bennett's efforts to marry a millionaire playboy with the consent and approval of his dig nified guardian. Her several stratagems result in a wedding, with the consent and approval of the dignified guardian, afore mentioned. And why not? he's the bridegroom. To go on and reveal anymore of the nonsense to audiences would be to let them in beforehand on one of the gayest and happiest times ever promised In a motion pic ture theatre. John Hubbard plays the playboy and Pierre Watkin plays the guardian and Eve Ar den. William Tracy (Dude of "Tobacco Road") and Thurston Hall are added hither and yon in the remaining featured leads. One of John Nesbitt's famous and popular Passing Parade short subjects, titled "This Is the Bowery", is added to the program as well as a color car toon and the latest news events from far and near.

Nutty as a Fruitcake AND TVICE AS SPICY! The promise of gold and ad venture which drew Arthur Mc Veigh, Medford barber, to An chorage, Alaska, a couple of months ago, has been amply ful filled so amply, in fact, that Mr. McVeigh is already tired of it all and would like to return to a more humdrum existence in Medford. Working as a barber in An chorage, scene of a boom atten dant on Installation of a large defense air base, McVeigh has averaged near $70 per week, he wrote friends here last week. This, he said, seemed like good wages, "but in Anchorage just isn't any money at all." A decent meal costs $1.50, toast and coffee with a little Jelly, 80 cents, minimum charge for a sandwich is 30 cents, and a drink of milk, even with a $2 meal, sets the diner back IS cents, according to McVeigh who also stated that a drink of liquor costs 30 cents, "and there is a saloon every ten feet." Rooms rent for $60 and up per month, if you can get one. and McVeigh said he had been unable to unpack his suitcase since arrival as the "bunk house" he is occupying with three other men is so crowded he can't even find room to drive a nail to hang anything on. The Medford man boasted he had enjoyed a bath on the day he wrote, his first since arriving, explaining that "they don't know what bathtub is up here."

McVeigh gets his mail at tha general delivery window and ha says the post office 'won't pay any attention to mail with any thing less than an air mail stamp on it." , Although he had hoped to be come a "regular sourdough," McVeigh wrote, the only thing he wants now is a stake to get back to Medford on "and they can have Alaska."
