fun, visited Dawson one night re-
Gently, striking wooden flagpole
and following the aerial to the
radio which 1t turned inside out. A
portion of the bolt followed Sc
cond aerial across the street where
it burned out the radio and tele-
phone, removed insulation from
the wire, and created a small
blaze on the wall cabinet of a bar
Der shop. Skipping gaily about
town, 1t burned out phones in two
grocery stores, set flames to cur
tains and a window shade in a
hotel room, scorched the wood
work and burned off a light wire
on bed lamp block from where
the bolt first struck. Completing
it's rounds, the lightning put the
phone out of commission and burn

Commencing Sunday Columbia's
romantic comedy, "The Awful
Truth" starring Irene Dunno and
Cary Grant, with Ralph Bellamy,
Alexander Darcy, Secil Cunning
ham and Robert Allen in support,
will show at the Main Street Thea
tire screen for three-day engage
ment. Also in a prominent role is
Skippy, the 'Thin Man" wire-hair
pup, masquerading as Mr.. Smith.
1.-THE Awful Truth" tells Of the
final tiff between Mrs" Irene
Dunno and "Mr." Cary Grant which
leads to the divorce court. There,
in what is said to be the most hill
arious courtroom scene ever filmed,
they battle for the CUSTODY of Mr..
Smith with Irene the victor. Cary,
however, wins the courts permits
sion to visit the dog once a month.
The films highlight is the final
sequence set in a swank mansion
at which a dinner party is being
rendered to announce Cary Grants
engagement. Irene worms herself
into being invited by posing as his
sister. Scandalous is the word for
what happens after that.

OXFORD THEATRE
Widely heralded as a new kind
Of motion picture for a new kind
Of world" The March Of Times
first feature production, 1.-THE RAM
parts We Watch" which will be
shown next Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, at the Oxford Theatre, Is
unique not only because Of its tot
ally different story and technique,
but because It contains new kind
Of cast-the most unusual ever as
sembled for motion picture.
To achieve complete realism for
this breathtaking story Of typical
Americans living through the most
dramatic period in modern history
the turbulent years from 1914 to
the present-The March Of Time
used a casting method which no
movie produced dared to attempt.
OF the cast Of more than 1400, in
GLIDING 70 speaking parts, not one
had ever appeared before a movie
camera.
Selected from all walks Of life.
from every occupation, from all
parts of the nation, they were brot
together to re-live this period Of
Americas rendezvous with destiny.
Typical Of this cross-section Of
the American people who comprise
the "Ramparts" cast Is Clarence
Warner Stowell, who plays the part
of the kindly, wise, old Congress
man John Lawton. Lecturer, sales
executive, and teacher, Stowell
fought in the Spanish-American
war, was a Lieutenant Colonel in
the World War. On a dare from
members of the Columbia Univer-
sity Club in New York, he applied
for his first acting job and was
chosen because he so perfectly typi-
fled the part. For me-" Mr.. Stow
ell says, "the role Of John Lawton
was a case of re-living my own ex-
periences during that turbulent per-
iod Of 19141S Before the camera,
my character and his life became
the only real thing"
Hired originally as wardrobe au-
thenticator for the film, Marguer-
lite Boynton Brown was found to
be ideal for the role Of Mrs. Ben
singer, wife Of the German profess
sor whose life Is shattered in the
War by his internment as an en-
envy alien. A housewife in her own
right, Mrs. Brown Is the most wide
ly-traveled of any actor in "The
Ramparts" due to the fact that her
late husband was CAPTAIN A. w.
