Adults JAMES CAGNEY HERE TONIGHT IN NEW FARCE Bros. picture starring James Cag- net, will be the feature attraction at the Capitol Theare tonight. The picture is based on the hi- larious romance by Laird Doyle and Ray Nazarro and concerns | two crooks who are both trying to expose the other to impress the | girl they both love. The story unveils in humorous “Jimmy, the Gent,” the Warner | vein the unique racket of heir | chasing, that is, the hunting down | of lost heirs in order to inherit uncalimed estates. And the two notorious heir chasers, James Cag- ney and Alan Dinehart, do not stop at bribing persons to act as heirs and coaching them into per- jured testimony. Bette Davis is the feminine lead | opposite Cagney and the girl over whom Cagney and Dinehart do battle for her love. Alice White, Allen Jenkins and Mayo Methot are said to supply much of the comedy element although the fast talking and fast acting Jimmy always turns up with his share. The romantic angle is not ne- glected and is supplied by two couples, Cagney and Miss Davis and Allen Jenkins and Miss White. Other prominent members of the cast include Arthur Hohl, Philip Reed, Hobart Cavanaugh, Mayo Methot, Ralfe Harolde, Philip Fa- versham and Nora Lane. The screen play is by Betram Milhauser and the direction by Michael Curtis. DANGERS YOUTH ENCOUNTERS SHOWN IN FILM Liquor, white slavery—bugaboos of a past generation have given way to a new menace that threat- |ens the very life of the nation, | the menace of Juvenile Delinquen- {ey. | Liquor affects comparatively few | families, dope still fewer, while | white slavery as symbolized by red lights and segregated districts, has practically ceased to exist. | But Juvenile Delinquency as ex- | pressed in the amazing and unex- ! | plainable moral decay of modern |youth is a problem that reaches |into every community and “threat- | ens the freedom of modern thought and eonduct, and it is hard for READ COATS them to believe that their c,l'ild could be in danger. “The Road to Ruin,” which comes | to the Uptown Theatre tonight is| described as “A Flaming Warning to the Parents of America.” “The Road to Ruin,” which is based on an actual case in an amazingly frank story of the tem- ptations confronting the children of today and contains a tremen- dous lesson, while at the same time because of the extremely able han- dling of a delicate subject, it is first rate entertainment. The reckless abandon with which the jazz-crazed youth of today find themselves in the mad chase after the illusive “good time” is vividly depicted in “The Road to | Ruin.” “The Road to Ruin” is up to the minute, and as Ann Dixon, | exotic Helen Foster, gives an as- tonishingly realistic portrayal of the errant flapper. Others of es- pecial note in the cast are vivae- ious Nell O'Day, Glen Boles, Paul Page, Mae Busch, Richard Tuck- er and Virginia True Boardman. .- MRS." McCARTY DIES Mrs. Catherine F. McCarthy, & former re sident of Fairbanks, died recently at Mill City, Cali- fornia. Mrs. McCarthy was well known in Alaska and at different times lived in Dawson, Y.
