Soames Rutb Toby as Rebecca Gibbs Douglas Gardiner as Wally Webb Arthur Allen as Professor Willett Spencer Charters The Constable Tim Davis as Joe Crowell Dix Davis as Si Crowell and Frank Craven as The Narrator By GEORGE E. SHELLEY An everyday story of everyday people is presented in a novel manner in "Our Town," which ar rived yesterday at Loew's Theatre. Based on Thornton Wilder's sue cessful stage play, "Our Town" is a story about the lives of people in a small New England town. The film is novel and different enter tainment, with narration by Frank Craven, who also has a role in the picture, handling both jobs in a homely manner. William Holden and Martha scott, who created the role of Emily in the stage play, are the young couple who grow up in "Our Town," marry and have children.

The characters are similar to those in any small town. Fay Bainter is the wife of the physician, Thomas Mitchell. Beulah Bondi is the wife of the news paper editor, Guy Kibbee. Stuart Erwin is seen as the milkman who keeps all his accounts "in his head." Phillip Wood is the church organist, and at the same time the town drunk. And Spencer Char ters is the constable.

In addition to the narration offering a novel form of entertain ment, several sequences make audible use of thoughts of the various characters. These are only a few of the things about "Our Town" that make it unusual film 'Our Town" is a down to earth story about the kind of people we all know, and provides a pleasant change from the average picture. Excitement Rules Screen at the Rio Action is the keynote of "Stagecoach War," which opened yesterday at the Rio with William Boyd again playing the role of "Hopalong" Cassidy, Clarence E. Mul ford's famous character. The plot rolls around the battle between two rival lines for the mail contract and, as you may have guessed there's "dirty work at the cross roads." Some fine music, western variety, by The Kings Men of radio fame.

Feature No. 2 is "Boys of The City" in which the "East Side Kids" are in the principal roles. Bobby Jordan and Leo Gorce of "Dead End Kids" fame have joined the company. The lads are out to clear a pal of a murder charge and do, you know. P.

(85 miles from Charlettesville. By Paul Walker Charlottesville.

July 26. Up to now your correspondent had the impression that all this talk about Hollywood folks running around in circles, and never pausing to sleep or relax was just so much Dress agent talk. Now he convinced otherwise. With William F. Brooker, Paramount publicity chief, and John F.

Rogers, manager of the State Theatre, for the past 36 hours he has been chasing in and out of this historic town to find the "Virginia" company "on location." He hasn't found them yet "on location." He did find Fred MacMur ray, the star of the picture, in the Farmington Hunt Club and quite graciously Mr. MacMurray. who's the kind of a guy you want to call Fred and do! sat down and talked and talked and talked. He was killing time, had been an off day for him and he was busy and I mean busy waiting for his wife who had decided to spend the day in Williamsburg. Let it be said here and now that Fred MacMurray, sprawled on a davenport and talking of this and that, is the Fred MacMurray you see and like in motion pictures.

He and the writer went into the stagehand business when some one upset a floor lamp; we did a neat job, un denting the parchment shade, etc. Fred plays a Virginia planter of the old school and thinks he's going to like the part. The south ern accent? That doesn't bother him for the minute and he's cer tainly not going to over do it. There are all kinds of accents in Vir ginia and his natural Wisconsin lingo seems to be a symposium of all of them. So what? So he's going to be natural as always.

MacMurray is just a big overgrown boy, who was graduated from the Beaver Dam (Wisconsin) H. S. and went mto the orchestra business. Remember the "California Collegians? He was one of them. Temperamental is one thing he is not.

Free and easy, glib of speech, natural of action that's him (or he if you insist on grammar). Does he like pictures? Sure he likes 'em "and for the dough they pay you, fine! But don't tell Paramount." His next picture? "They never tell you," he says. "For two reasons. First they want to surprise you and secondly and most important, they want to see how your last one did at the box office. The company had been hard to find on location but MacMurray wasn't with them today.

They were doing some indoor scenes in the Jefferson Theatre in downtown Charlottesville. It was too small for any one to be admitted except from the back. Then all you could see was the back of the sets. Director Griffith had scanned the skies at 6 a. smelled rain.

Straightway he decided on indoor shooting. After all when you are spending $8000 a day in making a picture, you can't just guess about the weather. You can bet $8000 to noth ing that those clouds won't drip rain. Hence the theatre; and so much time saved in the Hollywood shooting. A day saved in Char lottesville is a day saved in Hollywood.

Fred was just as glad he hadnt been called on. It was hot in the theatre; naturally so. It's the only one that is not air conditioned and is therefore closed in summer. Thus it came to pass that Madeleine Carroll we are still on her trail and others, including Louise Beavers, did their work in a veritable hot box. Miss Carroll slipped in a backdoor to the Hunt Club; she didn't want any one, especially reporters, to see her until she had "prettied up a bit.

It had been a tough day! What did MacMurray do on his off day? "Well, I went downtown and bought a necktie; it's a honey, too." Did any one recognize him? "Sure, a few people!" Mobbed? "Nobody mobs anybody in Charlottesville." And he's right. This town rrloves, when it does move, not' unlike cold molasses on a cake of ice. Nobody ever gets in a hurry. In between times, Fred is fishing. He did quite well on catfish in the nearby James river, using worms.

He likes flies too, for trout. On Sunday, he's going for bass. Doesn't like deep sea fishing; he gets little seasick on the rolling deep. Genealogy in Virginia has intrigued the movie star. People down this way, he has discovered, put quite a store by who was whose grandfather and when and why.

The other evening he asked a Virginia about his ancestry and spent three hours listening to the unfolding of a family tree. That is no exaggeration. Try it out some time. The "jar flies," which have disturbed the shooting of the picture Virginia" have intrigued Mr. MacMurray and also Don King, the publicity man.

We'll be telling you more about that tomorrow. The hour is late and we have to go have. a look around for Made leine Carroll. You know how it is. Anyway in re the "jar flies," alias 17 year locusts alias crickets, alias katydids have been giving the sound crew no end of trouble much trouble that 20 University of Vn'ginia boys have special jobs in trees "shooshing them away." They did call entomologists but desisted when they discovered there were more entomologists than bugs on the set.

More later. Pat O'Brien had a one hour vacation between his roles in The Story of Knute Rockne" and "Flowing Gold." Dennis Morgan will give an outdoor song recital this summer in Milwaukee, his home town. Untamed Opens at Colonial Story of Canadian Rockies in Technicolor THE CAST Dr. Wm. Crawford Ray Milland Alverna Easter Patricia Morison Joe Easter Akim Tamiroff Les Woodbury William Frawley Mrs.

Maggie Moriarty. DarweU Dr Billar J. Farrell MacDonald By C. E. ZIMMERMAN Employing for its background the impressive grandeur of the mountains and forests of the Canadian Rockies, based on Sinclair Lewis' is brought to the screen at the Colonial in all the glory of technicolor.

As a result, "Untamed" is a splendid eye filling film which will delight the seeker of thrills as well as the movie goer who wants the picturesque served with the basis of an old fashioned "Untamed" is a triangle play with the sick man, nursed by the other man's wife, falling in love with the said wife, and subsequent complications. In this case Jtay Milland is the broken down young doctor from New York; Patricia Morison is the beauteous wife of the French Canadian guide, and Akim Tamiroff is the guide. An excellent blizzard with all the side effects is staged in color, and when in the end, to make the story end happily, Akim freezes to death, it is a sight few people ever see. But the film editors were too hasty in cutting this scene according to our morbid sense of the fitness of things. "Untamed" isn't all hokum and fuss and feathers.

The pictorial views alone make the picture worthwhile, and for the non critical viewers it will offer a number of heart throbs. Doubtless some of the feminine members of the family will stifle a sob now and then, too. In addition there is an all color western done in the singing cowboy manner. It is just as entertaining as the main attraction, which is tops. gffifs i I A II Li (food aopnniojf aioa.es CeresoU Gold Medal Pillsbury 5 lb Bag Fyne Taste Beans TOMATO Imp AtlCDICA'S FINEST FOOD IHADCCTS Orrsn QUALITY.
