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.

Day's

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.
So they re making arrests
among the legion membership

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.

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.
