'AT CMIAM TODAY Alexis Smith Stars 'Song of Bernadette' on Screen at Holly Tuesday The fascinating saga of Mark Twain, a typically American story of this country's beloved and famous humorist, forms the background for the Warner Bros, film "The Adventures of Mark Twain," opening today at the Craterian. Starring Fredric March In the title role, the picture tells of Twain's boyhood against a Mis sissippi background and of his friendship with Tom Sawyer (Michael Miller) and Huckle berry Finn (Eugene Holland), three rafting explorers of the river, who hunt buried treas ure and imaginary pifate's gold. The film goes along showing how the adventures of the river so intrigue Twain that he is lured away from his apprentice ship as a printer, learns to nav igate, becomes a full-fledged pilot, takes his own steamer down the river, falls in love with the photograph of a beau tiful girl, Olivia Langdon, play ed by -co-star Alexis Smith, of his determination to marry her, his quest for money to make this possible and of his record ing of a frog jumping contest which inadvertently launches him on the road to literary fame. Featured on the long and im posing list of supporting players are Donald Crisp, Alan Hale and C. Aubrey Smith.
