THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1933. TUESDAY WEDNESDAY CAPITOL THE BEASTS HE KiLLED 7°0mf:+* WERE HUMAN| "THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME THE STORY OF A FASCINATING FIENDI With JOEL McCREA, Fay Wray Leslie Banks, Robert Armstrong Directed by Irving Pichel and Ernest B. Schoedsack from the story by Richard Connell CAPITOL—TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY ——SELECTED SHORTS—— “Tomorrow’s Styles Today” NEW FROCKS That add a gay note to the drab winter days. In an inspiration of gay prints, crinkle crepes and crisp organdie trims. When the country’s foremost sporting crities took a quick glance iback over the ten-year whirl of 1923-33, at our request, and came up with the results of a poll put- {ting Bob Jones a notch above {Babe Ruth, in a ranking list of |the decade's heroic performers, they spilled a bushel of argu- {ments. There can be very little differ- erence between Jones and Ruth, !in the last analysis, when the three main factors are taken into con- | sideration, viz., performances, ef- fect on sport, and effect on the public. Within their spheres, they were and Ruth still is dominating, with no successor in sight. Golf galleries cannot be com- pared with baseball crowds, in size or in gate receipts, but this is Ionly a circumstance. Jones drew the biggest galleries of all time, at |home or abroad, just as Ruth has attracted more fans through the :Lumstiles than any other baseball player in history. From the time he first won a national golf championship in 1923, Jones mever was without posses- sion of at least one up uhtil the year he retired with all the major {trophies of this coungry and Eng- land in his possession. Ruth has had slumps and been beaten for home run honors within the past decade but none compares with him over the ten-year stretch. He staged a remarkable come-back and defied all who thought he was “through.” Golf felt the stimulation of Jones as it never had the achievements lland personality of any other in- dividual, just as baseball obtained a new lease on life after the war with the rise of Ruth as a slugger and popular idol.

The first of that new program will be shown at the Capitol The- atre tonight when “The Most Dan- gerous Game” featuring Joel Mc- Crea, Fay Wray Leslie Banks and Robert Armstrong opens. And REKO's promise of films crammed with excitement is said to have been more than met. “The Most Dangerous Game” has a strong romantic note, usually absent in thrillers. Based on Richard .Connell's widely known prize-winning short story of the! same title, “The Most Dongerous Game” narrates the unique exper- iences of a boy and girl shipwreck- ed on an island owned by a sinis- ter Russian who has turned his game preserve into a human hunt- ing ground. The action of the film is as breathtaking as its theme is dar- ing. The dramatic opportunities offered Joel McCrea are said to add further laurels to this hand- some young actor who has been steadily climbing toward stardom. Fay Wray, as his shipwrecked partner, has a role full of delicate nuances and strong emotional scenes. Leslie Banks, formerly of the New York and London stage, makes his motion picture debut as the menacing Count Zaroff, whose pas- sion for hunting, leads him to a weird mania for fracking humans. Robert Armstrong has a brief but important role as one of the vic- tims of Zaroff's hunt. “The Most Dangerous Game” is the first studio production of Mer- iap C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, makers of the suc- cessful “Chang” " and the “Four Feathers.” Irving Pichel co~directed with Schoedsack. Helen Wills Moody and Tommy Hitchcock, in tennis and polo, also stand out on all three counts. Not even Suzanne Lenglen in her prime dominated women's tennis as has the Californian, but Mrs. Moody’s influence on. the development of the game has never compared to that of William T. Tilden II As Bob Sensenderfer of the Philadelphia Bulletin points out: “Tilden has done much more to develop tennis than he has ac- tually performed within the past ten years. He led his field only three of the years but his influ- ence was felt throughout the per- iod. He has done more than any | other man ever to make tennis popular.” PRAISE FOR McCARTHY There were many more votes for Connie Mack and Miller Hug- gins, among the baseball manag- ers, than for Joseph Vincent Me- Carthy, but Warren Brown of the Chicago Herald-Examiner cast his vote for “Marse Joe” with these remarks: “He proved he is a great lead- er, with the Cubs, when he kept a lot of minor leaguers in the race. He built up the Yankees. He won pennants in both leagues and he has maintained an even keel in spite of the fact he had a prob- lem with one club, in the person of Hornsby, and one on the other, in the person of Ruth.” R ] FRANK SCULLY TO LEAVE FOR WEST ON ALASKA Frank Scully, representative of McKesson, Stewart and Holmes, ex- pects to leave Juneau tonight on the steamer Alaska for the West- ward and Interior districts. “The Most Dangerous Game” Joel McCrea and Fay Wray stand at bay in the RKO-Radio thriller which is opening at the Cayltol Theatre M)nlg'llt Protect Child frem Traffu'. ‘ Editor’s Club Does Just That BEAVER DAM, Wis. March 7.— A certain type of news story al- most never appears in the Beaver ‘Dam Daily Citizen. Day after day the Dodge county newspaper goes to press without the distress- ing and familiar headline: “Motorist Injures School dren.” Every day without an accident elates the editor, Joseph E. Helfert. He counts the day without a traffic mishap an achievement for con- structive journalism; and another bull's-eye for his “Open Eye” club. Chil- Club Expands i | The “Open Eye" club, founded by | Helfert, has expanded from an ob- | scure department in a rural Wis-| consin newspaper into an institu- tion of inter-state importance. The | Citizen's circulation extends little | beyond the borders of Dodge county. Nevertheless, a child in Corder, Mo., trips across the street care- fully because the editor in Beaver| Dam told him to—and sent him a| badge and literature relating to| safety. Another youngster in Miles| City, Mont., stands at the curb and | makes a conscious effort to open| his eyes very wide before su'ppmz“ to the pavement, because doing so| |is living the motto of the "Opcn{ |Eye” club. ‘The “Open Eye” club had its in- ception in Milwaukee in 1928 when | a child darted in front of Editor | | Helfert’s automobile, was struck and carried a distance on the front bumper. The youngster was, only slightly hurt, but the inci-! dent made such an impression on| |the editor that he launched an| editorial campaign for accident pre- | vention and he has been at it ever| since. Joseph E. Helfert (above), editor of the Beaver Dam, Wis., Daily Citizen, founded the “Open Eye” Club, children’s safety organization. It extends into a dozen States and its ‘ membership — 18,000—exceeds circulation of the newspaper which spensors it.

MARIE PREVOST REDUCES;SIGNS Just a Few, Pounds ‘Olten Means Great Deal in By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 7.— As long .as cameras turn in this only if the figure is of the right proportions, there will be Spartan measures taken for molding the form closer to, lenses’ desire.

The latest to mount the pand- ! wagon of self-imposed discipline | for the movies' sake is Marie Pre- vost, whose best friends agreed with her that a few pounds less would mean many jobs more. For a while Marie tried to buck the excess poundage by capitaliz- ing on it in character roles. At that she did fairly well. But her plumpness almost cost her a part she wanted in “Parole Girl” SHE MAKES THE WEIGHT “Give me two weeks,” she said, “and IM be down to whatever weight you say. Lose 15 pounds? All right!” In two weeks she came back, took a test, and the part was hers, She earned it, as you'll agree. The Pacific in January, even in these parts, is no pleasant pond, but Marie swam a mile in it every day. She came out, raced another mile | up and down the beach. The rest| of the day she exercised strenu- ously, ate lightly. For the breakfasts she ate—and | she still follows the routine—she ranks ‘just a shade ahead of the| women of Sparta, in my opinon. | Skimmed milk, followed by orange Jjuice!

Throughout ‘Wisconsin there is a sprinking of them and the club reaches out into| a dozen other states. ‘Children pledge never to play in| the streets, never to cross them| without eyes open, and never to ac- cept rides from strangers. | “Much of the success of the club is due undoubtedly to its complete lack of commercialism,” said Hel- fert. “The club is not a promotion stunt, but a sincere effort to save lives. We, don't care to print obi‘u» aries of little children.” W!SCONSIN ALTERS MORTGAGE LAW | | | But—only to anyone who has “color of real money” according to {Bch Quinn, President and owner.
