Girard | | | | l Attractions At Theatres "“CROOKS CAN'T WIN" | THRILLER, COLISEUM | | “'That there is considerable demand for underworld pictures was evi- denced again last night by the warm reception accorded “Crooks Can't Win,” the FBO production‘ featuring Ralph Lewis which open- ed at the Coliseum last night. ‘The story deals with the adven- tures of a rookie cop who is as- signed to a beat where several big silk thefts have been engineered. ‘Through a plot on the part of the robbers, the cop is lured off his beat during a big theft and is con- sequently dismissed from the force. With the help of a newspaper re- porter he uncovers the bandit gang | and clears his own record. Inci- dentally he is in love with 1.heI grand daughter of an old cop, and| by clearing his record he wins the girl. Ralph Lewis has a fine, sympa- thetic role as the pensioned police- man and he makes the most of it. Others of the cast include Thel- ma Hill, Sam Nelson, Eugene Strong James Eagle, Joe E. Brown and Charles Hall. = i HOOT GIBSON IS NOW AT PALACE | L2 Thrills and spills, love and laugh- ter, are the ingredients that have been mixed together to make “The Rawhide Kid,” the Universal West- ern production starring Hoot Gib- son which operied at the Palace theatre last night. The combina- tion has resulted in a picture play of merit with high-powered action from start to finish. As Dennis O'Hara, Hoot again shows his ability to stick to a gal- loping horse and some of the great- est action pictures ever filmed of a horse race were photographed for this picture. Everything from fast| gun play to fast horse racing makes this picture of unusual interest. Georgia Hale, the dainty and sweet little miss who may be re- membered as Charlie Chaplin's leading lady, portrays the role of Jessica Silverburg, the heroine, and she is sufe-enough love-interest. Harry Todd, as usual, injects his bag of tricks as a comedian, with Frank Hagney, William H. Strauss, Tom Lingham and others in promi- nent, well-played roles. p " “SHIELD OF HONOR COMING TO PALACE — g F——3 LE Not even a policeman will be able to find a technical fault in the manner in which the actual police drill team scenes in “Thé Shield of Honor,” the Universal which comes to the Palace Theatre here Thurs- day, were handled. v ‘They are said to be perfect in every detail for with the exception of the more prominent figures in the cast who impersonate officers in the picture, all the other police officers are members of the Los Angeles police department and were actually on a field day when the picture was taken. 2500 policemen were used in these thrilling scenes which were taken in Exposition Panz, one of the largest- and best public parks in Southern California, the men work- ing under Thief Davis of the Los Angeles Police Department. * During the making of the picture the policemen forgot they were Jjust acting before the camera and cntered into the spirit of the thing [Former Hoad of Alaska the Lamb” s | American { cording to a | Highway. *! | Donald from Major John C.

Two Encouraging Factors The two encouraging factors in the present sithation are the pro- fitable exploitation by thé Alaska Juneau of the large low grade ore deposits in the Juneau district | placer deposits in interior Alaska by dredging interests. There are indications of devel- tin and antimony, and of limestone in Southeastern Alaska. The out- look in the marble quarrying in- dustry is also encouraging. Progress of Exploration | Another encouraging feature, Mr, Stewart pointed to, was the in- crease in prospecting.” The Pros- pectors’ Aid “Aet ‘of 1937 was an important factor in this condition: The sale of luw grade areas to was also evident along her sides.
