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

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

married to one man. Is pursued
by another man who, in turn

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.

Errol Flynn, dashing hero of
countless screen adventures,
has what many believe his most
exciting role as General Custer
in "They Died With Their Boots
On," coming Wednesday to the
Craterian theatre. The name of
Custor invariably brings to
mind "Custer's Last Stand,"
which has become associated in

Those who have been clamor

other comedy like "Ninotchka"
will have their wishes filled be

Woman," which opens for today
and tomorrow only at the Rlalto
theatre. Garbo again is cast op
posite romantic Melvyn Doug

touches she revealed in the
previous comedy, Garbo, in her
new role, is said to go all-out
in a comedy portrayal which
has her singing,, doing a bril
liant rhumba, wearing a new
ultra-modern hairdress, and ap
pearing for the first time in a
bathing suit.
The role places the great star
in the situation of a woman who

theatre-goers have enjoyed for
quite some time starts today at
the Craterian theatre. Ted
Crawford, who specialises in
novelty numbers that have
proved immensely popular from
coast to coast, and who bellves
in using modern numbers, leav
ing the heavier symphonies to
the others, will be at the con
sole of the Craterian theatre's

ment Crawford, known as enter
tainer as well as organist, has
a record of 10 years with the
Paramount theatres from coast

Indianapolis, Buffalo, El Paso,
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
He also appeared at the T and
D theatre and Downtown the

the San Francisco Golden Gate
Exposition where he had a "run
of the fair" contract. Two years
on Broadway at the Mark
Strand theatre In New York
City added to his experiences.
He has a wide variety of novel
organ presentations - and it- is
confidently expected that he
will enjoy as great a popularity
among valley theatre goers as
he has wherever he has appeared.
