PAGE SEVEN o Claudette Colberts Newest Romantic Hit, "Skylark" Showing Today MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 25, 1942. RAY MILLAND AND IE New March of Time And New Organist Featured On Program. Claud-cte Colbert, with Ray Milland and Brian Aherne, in "Skylark," heads the program opening a three day run today at the Craterian theatre. A new March of Time,-''Our America at War," and the first appear ance In Mediord of Ted Craw ford, well known organist, will add to the program's entertain ment "Skylark," originally a serial story in the Saturday Evening Post, then a success on Broad way as a stage play, tells of a merry romance of a modern young couple and a handsome footloose bachelor. Claudette is shown as the wife of Ray Milland, knee-deep in the advertising business and not much time at home. Five years of this and she blows up, goes out on a skylark and winds up with Aherne. Nor does it atop there, for when a woman married to one man. Is pursued by another man who, in turn Is pursued by another married woman who is pursued by her husband, all sorts of complica tions can happen. That they do In "Skylark" is inevitable and that's what makes it the slightly slap-happy romantic comedy that it is. "Our America at War," the March of Time subject on the same program, is a convincing pictorial argument that today's fighting-mad Americans will "do it again." Drawing a par allel between the present war and the conflict 25 years ago. the subject shows how the same Indecision 'and delay, the same unprincipled violations of tra ditional American heritages, the same industrial strife were all surmounted and a united Amer ica came through to victory. The film not only will dispel much of the natural apprehension that always accompanies the first impact of war but is also I a pattern for victory, showing the job that must be done be fore victory can be assured.
