leading theatre to celebrate its
20 years of entertainment suc

In selecting the programs to

changes per week that is the
standard policy of the theatre,
the Craterian will, for this week
only, have three changes, with

MEDFORD BRANCH
1st. National Bank
of PORTLAND, OREGON
Observance of the 20th anni
versary of Hunt's Craterian
theatre here this week recalls
pleasant memories of old-time
show houses in this city, when
"diammer" flickered on ' the
screen to bring "ohs" and "ahs"
from tense movie fans. Even
before the silent films people
came by team and gas buggy to
attend stage shows at the old
opera house, situated where the
Hotel Jackson is now located.
This old structure was destroyed
by fire a third of a century ago.
Old timers will remember the
super-colossal production, "The I
Battle of Gettysburg', one of
the first six-reelers, at the old
"It" theatre on West Main
street. While the Biju and It
theatres were luring the cinema
fans with such thrillers as "The J
Million Dollar Mystery" and ;
widely heralded "Brewster's
Millions", the Star, Isis and Ugo
theatres were keeping Rogue
River Valley theatre-goers on
the edge of their chairs with
b r e a t h-t a k i ng super-serials,
The Perils of Pauline, and the
"Exploits of Elaine". The arch
sleuth, Craig Kennedy was also
pursuing the elusive "Clutching
Hand" on the Star theatre's
screen while the piano player
labored long and loudly to pro
vide the "musics and effects."
When the Page theatre, lo
cated near the Bear Creek
bridge where the Roxy Is now
situated, opened Medford thea
tre fans revealed in the top mu
sical shows of the country. The
great and near great of stage
and screen were featured at
this "ultra-modern" show house.
Here the great Jolson, Kolb and
Dill, May Robson and top-flight
stage stars performed. "Up in
Love" and scores of delightful
musical shows drew crowds I
from Klamath Falls to Curry i
County. I
VOID DIVORCES AFTiR 7 YE :
Providence, R. I. (U.R) After j
a seven-year divorce period.
John and Elizabeth C. Barrett of
Providence were reunited when
the judge granted their petition
to vacate the final divorce de
crees. While they were apart,
each had remarried and lost their
new mates by death.
Congratulations!
CRATERIAN THEATRE upon tha com
pletion of 20 successful yaars ot tervlc in
this community. Fine entertainment through
