Show JANET GAY" NO It STARS IN WADSWORTH SHOW Janet Gaynor, who, ever since, her spectacular success in "7th Heaven" has looked for another role with similar acting opportunities, oppor-tunities, has at last found it in "The Farmer Takes a Wife," the Fox Film adaptation of the stage success, which plays at the Wads-worth Wads-worth Theatre, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. "The Farmer Takes a Wife" is the magnificent, colorful story ol the Erie Canal waterways in the 1850's, and the story of the love that grew up between a girl of the canals and a boy whose heart was attached to the soil. Under Director Victor Fleming's Flem-ing's lyric guidance, the film sweeps from Rome, N. Y. to Utica, along the Erie waterways, picturing the lush fields of grain, the rich orchards, the gusty and humorous life of the people who helped to build an empire out of a gangling country. The dramatic conflict lies in the hov's efforts to win the eirl to his wav of thinking, and his battle for her love with the bully of the canal, Charles Bickford.
