OFFICIALLY ENDS i MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY. AUGUST 81. 1941 mm The engrossing, suspcnseful drama of a big-game hunter who fails to take advantage of an opportunity that most people would welcome, brings Walter Pidgeon and Joan Bennett, with George Sanders heading the sup porting cast, to the Craterian Theatre today for three days in "Man Hunt". Hailed by theatre audiences and critics alike as one of the most exciting film plays of re cent years, "Man Hunt" was re cently given a six page "spread" in Life Magazine as one of the season's top motion pictures. The story follows the breath taking adventures of Capt. Alan Thorndike, reknowned hunter who, having exhausted all the sport of stalking his game for thrills of hunting, turns to the a thrill the biggest game of all humans! High in the Bavarian Alps he draws a bead on Adolph Hitler, walking about the ter race of his hide-out, Berthes gaden. Though there's ample time, he doesn't fire. But the glint of his rifle barrel catches the eye of a guard who pounces on Thorndike and captures him. But Thorndike escapes and then follows the most relentless 'man hunt ever staged, a hunt led by another big game hunter, as famous as Thorndike himself. The chase leads from one coun try to another and, before the final scene, suspense crowds sus pense and thrill crowds thrill to culminate In one of the most gripping climaxes ever filmed. In The . Day's r News By Frank Jenkins THE spotlight today is focused sharply on a token fleet of American tankers carrying avia tion gasoline from Los Angeles to Vladivistok. When these tankers reach Jap anese waters the showdown will be here unless something hap pens in the meantime to call it off or postpone it. VESTERDAY '(Wednesday), In Tokyo, Premier Konoye and the emperor confer. Konoye sends a message to FDR. Today (Thursday), in Washington, Jap Ambassador Nomura and FDR confer. Nomura, leaving the White House, is asked by reporters: "Does this meeting bridge the gap between the two countries?" He replies with a smile: "Ask the secretary." Secretary of State Hull (the secretary referred to by Nomura) tells the reporters at his press conference immediately after ward there "might" be another or several more meetings be tween Nomura and FDR in an effort to reach a peaceful solu tion of the questions between the two nations in what Hull de scribes as a "more intimate and personal manner." Meanwhile the tankers steam on (perhaps very slowly). HERE'S what Japan is being told: "Quit playing with that bad boy Hitler and maybe we can do something NICE for you." DREMIER Ali Furanghl tells the Iran parliament today orders have been issued to the troops to cease resistance. He speaks of the necessity to keep the peace and maintain friendly relations with "our two great neighboring governments" (pre sumably Britain and Russia.) The Iran parliament then gives a unanimous vote of confidence to the government. So that's that. ERMAN troops mass on the Greek-Turk border. Turkey, sweating nervously, stops all rail and auto traffic with Eur ope. She fears a swift German mo-e to counter the British Russian thrust into Iran. One fears Iran's hopes of peace are not too well founded. "OLETTE, the Frenchman who appears to be a member of the anti-communist legion Ger many has been drumming up tn France for service in Russia. Tins stirs German suspicions that their "anti - communist" French legion might possibly turn out to be a fifth column in their midst.

One of the biggest musical comedies that played Broadway during the last few years was "Kiss the Boys Goodbye" and now the streamlined screen ver sion of the famous hit comes to the Craterian Theatre Wednes-1 and threatening more shootings. Hitler is learning that fifth columning is a game two can play at. "OLETTE frankly admits he's " a de Gaullist and says he's glad he shot Laval and his part ner in collaboration (with Hitler) His willingness to die shows the depth of the hatreds that are smouldering in France. fN the home front, a special senate committee headed by Downey of California recom mends extension of social secur ity to provide a minimum monthly pension of $30 to all unemployed persons over 60. The recommended extension would cost four billion dollars annually. - The majority report of the committee says it would "sup port consumer purchasing pow er if and when the war ends and expenditures for defense cease. rOWNEY say's! economists have told me distribution of four billion dol lars annually would result in " " A mow C mm toe EE 27C inc. t J day for four-day run with Mary Martin as the osculating miss, and Don Ameche co starred (the lucky fellow!).

If you want to give his scheme a trial, try putting out $10 to get $1 back and see how long it takes you to go broke. Ann Sothern in New Maisie Story Fights For Boxer Heralded as the most hilarious Maisie story to date, "Ring-side Maisie", starring Ann Sothern, opens for today and tomorrow only at the Rialto Theatre. The story concerns Maisie, again on the trail of a job and again finding adventure. This time her path crosses those of a young prizefighter, his invalid mother and his hardboiled man ager. When Maisie is hired as a companion for the mother she learns that the boy hates his career as a fighter. How she bat tles it out with the manager and winds up by falling in love with him makes for one of the most entertaining films of the entire series. , i is - -( , - ' f , if Bites!
