MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1941. Orson Welles In "Citizen Kane" Headliner On Craterian Program WELLES DIRECTOR "A Yank In The R. A. F." Coming To Craterian Ellery Queen On Rialto Bill In "Love Crazy it TOLD OF DANGERS PAGE EIGHT T Career of American Citizen Portrayed; Picture Begins Three-Day Run. An exceptionally brilliant par ade of motion picture produc tions has been set for showing in the Craterian theatre, with "Citizen Kane," the much talked- about film starring Orson Welles, written by Orson Welles, directed by Orson Welles and produced by Orson Welles, the lead-off hit starting a three- day run today. As the title implies, the film deals with the career of an American citizen, one Charles Foster Kane, a man obsessed by a lust for power over life, money and love. The fate of many peo ple, his own large fortune, and the hearts of two beautiful wom en are the objects of his con quest in the story, which is filled with a wealth of exciting inci dents. Through a radically new technique of story telling, the brilliant and often clashing char acterizations of Kane himself are seen through the different eyes of those who knew him, loved him, hated him during his years of creating a vast, one-man empire. Welles tackled a difficult job In bringing to the screen a com plete portrait of a colorful per sonage. But, by figuratively circling around and around the central character of Kane, each time revealing a new aspect of the man and his ideas and ideals, Welles present a clear-cut pic ture of the impulsive, ruthless, charming, capricious individual he has chosen to describe. The result is rated a cinematic tri umph, especially in the portrayal of Kane's relations with his two wives, both of whom loved him, and both of whom left him be cause he would not surrender to love except on his own terms.

It turns . . . it scampers to the brush wild with terror while the tiger enemy trails it with drooling tongue and bared fangs. BY HARBOR BILL Washington, Nor. IS.

(JP) A special economy committee was reported virtually unani mous today in the view that non-defense federal expenditures could be cut at least $1,000,000. 000 annually, but two key sug gestions by Secretary Morgen thau drastic reductions in farm and highway spending drew immediate objections. Morgenthau, a member of the 14-man committee, outlined his economy program at a closed meeting yesterday. Besides suggesting that con gress eliminate the projected $139,000,000 federal-aid-to-state road appropriations for the 1942 43 fiscal year and make "drastic cuts in our agricultural expendi tures," the treasury head said that non-essential reclamation river and harbor and flood con trol projects might be postponed; that the civilian conservation corps and the national youth ad ministration might be wiped out or drastically curtailed and that vocational training a c 1 1 v i t i es might be consolidated in a new defense training bureau.

As to curtailment of the farm spending, McKellar asserted that "we have been working for 10 years to raise farm prices, and we can't afford to injure them now."
