The story is as current as to- day’s headlines, and centres around the modern French Foreign Le- gion. The Legion, in the past, has been the basis for many romantic rand colorful films. The locale is Indo-China and the lot is backgrounded by the Viet am rebellion against the French government. Battles in tropical swamps between Legionnaires and guerrillas are highlights. Bing Crosby, a stranger in town, gets an enthusiastic welcome from lovely Joan Caulfield in Paramount’s “Welcome. Stranger,” show- ing at the Richmond Theatre on November 9 and 10. Bing finds the whole town think- ing‘ as Barry does. He puts the Crosby personality to work, adds some skillful doctor-ing and four melodious new tunes, and soon the community is ready to declare a “Dr. Crosby Week." All that re- mains is for him to help fulfill Barry’s dream of his own hospital, end to win Miss Caulfield. Then Bing is ready to hang out his shingle and roam no more. “Rogues’ Regiment” is heralded as a fastâ€"paced adventure film with a story that parallels the hunt by military intelligence units for Martin Bormann, last of the high- ran-king Nazi war criminals still not brought to trial for wartime atrocities. “Rogues’ Regim'ent” is on at the Richmond Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, November ’7 and 8. George Brent has an unusual starring part sans romance, as the hard and relentless Mathew Bos- tel, father of Miss Blyth. Brent goes all out; to make the role con- virncing, as he tries to curb his spirited daughter and control her romantic entanglements. Comedy in droll western style is well handled by such screen favor- ites as Edgar Buchanan and Jane Darwell. Buchanan plays Duff’s slde-kick, a lovable, blundering old sourdough. Miss Darwell is seen as Anne's crochety aunt. Bing is cast as a doctor, but a most unprofessional sort of doc- tor. He’s gay, he loves to sing' and he hates settling down. When he does agrep to take over Barry Fitzgerald‘s small town practice while the latter vacations, it is only, he insists, for two months. And when Barry gets a look at his flashin dressed, cityâ€"wise substi- tute. that‘s two months’ too long :for him. Starring Ann Blybh, Howard Duff and George Brent, “Red Can- yon” comes to the Richmond The- atre on Friday and Saturday, Nov- ember 4 and 5. Universal-Intern-ational has ad- apted Zane Grey's novel “Wildfire” to the screen in the same tempo of excitement and on the very loca- tions described by the author. The film shows popular Mr. Dufl" in a romantic role for the first time. But he is still-the he-man of action which brought him screen atten- tion in “The Naked City” and “Brute Force.” His capture of the wild horse as well as his gun battles with a murderous gang of horse thieves, keep him in the kind of portrayal his fans admire. On top of that both groups can get together for when “Welcome Stranger" comes to the Richmond on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov- amber 9 and 10, Bing and Barry and Joan will all be in it. Miss Blyth is more attractive than ever in her first Technicolor picture, and has an entirely new assignment as the madcap sageâ€" brush queen who rides the danger- one black stallion in a race for love. She portrays the heroine and sweetheart of the picture with a performance that may well aston- lsh fans who marveled at her re- cent “Mermaid” role. For those who} like this writer, Went a little bit “nutty” over the combination of Bing Crosby and Joan Caulfield in “Blue Skies” when it showed at the Richmond Theatre recently there is a spec- lal treat in store. And for those who got a real kick out of the screenâ€"history- making combination of Bing and Barry Fitzgerald in “Going My Way” there is another thrill com- lug.

For the third time in succession Herb Jones of Maple whose farm is in the “Honey Pot” district of Vaughan has won the contest, this year with the stag- gering yield of 689 bushels and the judges say that had the check diggings been taken across the best end only it would have run close to 1000.
