Against this tremendous back- ground is played out a human dra- interest is never allowed to flag. “Hell's Heroes” s a drama of Te- generation and heroism. Three bad men of the west have fled into the desert after killing a citizen in a bank holdup in the little frontier itown of New Jerusalem. They find themselves with a new-born baby on their hands. They have promised the dying ‘mother that they will bear the child safely to New Jerusalem. They have not enough water for such a Journey. And they know that if, by a miracle, they do reach New Jerusalem, lynch law awaits them there. From this central dramatic situa- tion the story unfolds swiftly and poignantly. It increases in inten- sity until the final fade-out leaves the beholder emotionally breathless. “Hell's Heroes” is marked by su- perb acting. Charles Bickford, Ray- mond Hatton and Fred Kohler, give characterizations that are not- able contributions to the art of the ccreen. Splendid performances are also given by Fritzi Ridgeway, Mar- ia Alba, Joe de la Cruz, Buck Con- nors and Walter James. “Hell's Heroes” is a great story that required delicate and sympa- thetic handling. 'No false note is struck in either action or charac- terization. The picture rings true at every point. The picture is based on the fa- \mous story, “Three Godfathers,” by |Peter B. Kyne.

THE DAILY ALASKA- EMPIRE MONDAY SEPT 22 I930 F errell M y Get Chancc at Last To Battle Grove for Mound Crown e SR Wes Ferrell, CLEVELAND. Wesley “Pink Cheek” Ferrell, 22-year-old right hander, may get a big chance to move upwards toward the American league pitching throne. On September 13 the world cham- pion Athletics, bearing their jewel, Lefty Grove, barged into town for Grove and Ferrell have staged a | race all season for hurling honors in the junior circuit—but they haven't met each other. Around the middle of the season Ferrell fell into the full stride of a | winning streak which carried him to the 13 consecutive victory mark. He was the first pitcher in the majors to win 24 games, but shortly afterwards, Grove breezed past him with 25 victories. Ferrell's startling success this year has been clouded with the charge that Manager Roger Peckinpaugh i ' for him. Though label this “bunk,” there is a suspicion that Ferrell will have to outpitch Grove for all- around glory. Cleveland fans get hot at suggestion that Peckinpaugh been dodging a Ferrell-Grove en- gagement. Wes has beaten the A’s nine times out of 11 games in the last two seasons. Connie Mack as much as Peckinpaugh is respon- sible for the fact that the pitchers haven’t met. Last year was Ferrell's first full season in the majors. He won 21 games while losing 10. After Grove came up to the Athletics in 1925 from Baltimore in the International league, he failed to compile so im- pressive a record until his fourth year. Ferrell was picked up in 1927 by Cleveland from the semi-pro ranks; at East Douglas, Mass., and the' next year farmed to Terre Haute in the Three-I league. He won 20 and lost 8. This year Ferrell demanded a big salary increase. Billy Evans, the club’s general manager, answered that a single season doesn't make a pitcher. If Ferrell meets Grove he wxll{ have an ‘' opportunity to climax a big season, as well as help draw some 30,000 fans past the ticket window. MISS FIELDS WINS | IDAHO SENATOR BY | FRUIT CAKE GIFT If Miss Minnie Fields, in charge of the eulinary department of thej local Federal jail, ever wants a! recommendation as a cake baker, all she needs to do is make it known to Senator John Thomas of Idaho. - She has proven conclusive- ly to him, and some of his friends, that she has attained high rank in the art. During - his recent visit here, through United States Marshal Al- bert White, a personal friend of the Senator, Miss Fields presented him with a large fruit cake. In a letter just received by Marshal White, telling of his arrival home, Senator Thomas evtended his com- pliments to Miss Fields. He shar- ed his prize with officers on the Navy destroyer on which he trav- eled and other members of the party, and all were enthusiastic in their praise of it, ‘and its maker. e DANCE AT DOUGLAS A dance will be given in the Eagles Hall at Douglas Wednesday night, Sept. 24th.
