THRILLING AVIATION PICTURE
WILL SHOW AT NEW DEAL

"I'll play any sort of an aviation
role in pictures, providing I'm not
asked to leave the ground" volun-
teers Hobart Cavanaugh, who sup
ports Myrna 10y and Cary Grant
in the starring roles of wings in
the Dark" coming to the New Deal
theatre, Nespelem, Friday and Sun
day, August 9 and II.
And, just to prove again the
contradiction between movie roles
and the real life characters of the
people who play them, Cavanaugh
Is cast as an enthusiastic flyer and
the airplane mechanic of Cary
Grant, who is the aviation hero OF
wings in the Dark"
Explaining his aversion, Cava-
nough says:
II belong to the wrong genera
ton for flight. My introduction to
aviation gave me the wrong impress
sion and I can't overcome my fears
Some ten years or so ago.
says Cavanaugh, there was a group
of nine stunt and sky-writing pilots
who were top-notchers in their line
Seven of them were close friends OF
mine. Today, not one of the nine
is alive-and I saw some of them
crash.
young people of today can grow
up without any fear of flying be-
cause they are being introduced to
it at a period when it is really safe
whereas I was introduced to it in
it's infancy when anything was liable
to happen.
10y Daredevil Aviatrix
wings in the Dark is the story
of the romance between a dare
devil aviatrix and a man who
strives to make flying safe and fool
proof by the perfection of blind
flying.
The poignance of the story is
heightened when Grant Is blinded
by an accident on the eve of sue
cess. But the self-sacrifice and
heroic devotion of Miss 10y en-
ables him to complete his expert
ments and regain his sight.

BILL DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM
AT MASON CITY THEATRE

Claudette Colbert's new picture,
Limitation of Life" the Karloff-
Lugosi horror thriller, "The Raven"
and story of small town life, evil
lage Tale" offer diversified enter
tainment at the Mason City theatre
this week and next.
"Village Tale
Village Tale" presents a cross
section of average community life
in America that is rich in theme.
The story deals with a typical
small village in Utah and with the
people who live there, from the sue
cessful farmer to the worthless
lounger in the country store. 1t
shows how the lives of people are
interviewer in such community.
The central theme of the story
deals with public opinion, that
spineless, heartless, soulless, but
representative mass that is, both the
judge and the jury of society.
"The Raven"
That matchless horror team OF
the screen, Karloff and Bella Lugosi
are at it again. The two delineators
of eerie character roles, who made
themselves famous in sF'ranken-
stein" and "Dracula" respectively,
are seen gnashing their teeth a..
each other in "The Raven" showing
Friday and Saturday.
The legends of horror and tnys-
terry that surrounded the mystic
writings of Poe are faithfully ex-
pounded in the THE Raven Some
of the unusual places and things,
mentioned by Poe in his works,
were duplicated for the screen,
with the sets built for this produc-
ton assuming the air of an ancient
museum.
Every care was taken by the
studio to maintain strict supervi-
sion and secrecy during the actual
filming of the picture. Karloff's
highly original makeup, made it
doubly necessary to enforce this
rule,
Limitation OF Life"
Seldom, if ever, has here beer,
such a combination of elements
which mean good entertainment as
there are in Imitation of Life"
Manager Duncan Mcpherson said
about the picture coming Sunday
and Monday to- the Mason City
theatre.
Fannie Hurst's great novel will
interest millions of women. Back
Street" proved that Fannie Hurst
understands thoroughly what wo-
men like to see in moving picture.
John Stahl in that picture proved
that he knew how to tranSpose to
the screen every last ounce of in
terest which lay in a Fannie Hurst
story. He directed Imitation Of
Life" also.
Then there is the popularity of
Claudette Colbert, who is an ideal
heroine for Fannie Hursts story
John Stahl searched for three
months before he was satisfied even
with Claudette Colbert. The minute
her tests were seen, however, he
knew that she was the perfect
actress for the role.
Amateur Night
To give local talent a chance 20
appear before audiences in the
Coulee area, the Mason City thea
tire will sponsor an Amateur Night
every Tuesday evening. Cash prizes
will be given and Ron and Don will
act as masters of ceremonies. it was
announced by Manager Mcpherson.
Anyone interested may enter by
making arrangements with Mr. Nc
Pherson.

PATMAN AIMS BILL
At STORE LOBB|ES
Plans Measure. to Prevent
Discrimination in Prices
to Retailers.
BIZ the Assaciatad Press.

b. the Associated Press.
As q result OF information disclosed
III hearings before the special House
Committee investigating the super
Lobby" allegedly set up here by chain
and retail store operators, Represents
tive Patman, Democrat, of Texas,
chairman, said today he intends to
introduce a bill to prohibit discrim-
ination in prices to retailers.
The proposed bill would prevent
block discounts in the purchase Of
huge accounts.
Patman told the House yesterday the
chain store interests in the past had
made unsuccessful efforts to establish
propaganda" organizations. He said
he felt the committee already had
established connection between
chain store interests and a retail fed
Grafton. At the inception of the in
quiry he had mentioned the American
Retail Federation, Inc.
Federation Called q Ruse.
The retail federation. Patman as
serted. was hit on as a device to bring
in little, independent stores as a
front" in fight against bills in State
Legislatures or Congress unfayorable
to chain stores.
Patman told the House that what
ever we do here, we must prevent a
few people from controlling the meaEs
of communication in this Nation" and
he mentioned newspapers, radio, the
screen and the stage.
IF you allow these large concerns
that control publicity in the principal
cities of the country to get together"
he said, they have one purpose. With
the means at their command, the peo-
pie will not get the truth -.
Advertising Lever Seen.
"The point am making is that the
effort is being made through these
organizations to control the means OF
communication. I doubt If you can
pick out 10 men In the country who
control as much advertising as these
70 men incorporated in this super
lobby here in Washington"
This was his conclusion to a half
hour review Of the committees inves-
tigatlon into the American Retail
Federation.
He had just said the federation was
organized by eight powerful chain
store men and two independents, with
salaries of at least $4,000 a. year
each. and at least five of them had
powerful New York banking connec-
tions and wide credit influence.
IL you pay a paper 5000, 900 a year
for advertising" he argued, you don't
have to ask It to print anything good
about you-they'u look after your in
terests."
