"Wives Under Suspicion” Opens at Capitol for Two-Day Run STAR TONIGHT THEATRE Show Place of Juneau | Jealou: with its ever attendant | romance, fear, and conflict, is the keynote of “Wives Under Suspicion,” Universal drama which comes to the | Capitol Theatre tonight ‘ Directed by James Whale, the film |introcuces an all star cast headed |by Gail Patrick and Warren Wil- | liam A relent s district attorney who | has become nearly dehumaniged in | his drivinz effort to obtain convie- { tions at &ny price A wife, whose love slowly turns to hate when she | realizes that her mate is rapidly losing the fine qualities that first in th s attx 1 her to him A chain |of circumstan, which suddenly | places the merciless prosecutor in | much the same position as the man Iwho is now on trial for killing his wife. . . . The release of all the ma- jor emotions and final soul regener- |ation when the district attorney | finds that his jealous suspicions of ! his wife have been unfounded. These are the highlights that mark this powerful Universal picture Warren Willialn and Gail Patrick lare the district attorney, and Hhis | wife Lucy; William Lundigan and Constance Moore furnish the juve- nile -love interest; Ralph Morgan portrays the gentle visionary who kills his mate in a fit of blind jealous rage, and then narrowly escapes the gallows. “Wives Under Suspicion” closely parallels a number of murder trials which have arousgd nation wide in- terest in the last few years. It drives home the lesson that justice sometimes must be tempered with mercy and bares in gripping detail many of the methods em- ployed by certain noted prosecut who are determined to obtain a con- viction “at any price.” RRREMPED, 0 P L Low Bids Made | SHORTS WHAT A KNIGHT EL SALVADOR PATHE PARADE THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, FE (OMMERCE, DEFENSE B. 15, 1939 MODES of the MOMENT | by Adelgide Karr Skating costumes are splashed with color gay as a tanager's wing.

NEWS Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Cooms HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 15.—It's ashamed I ought to be, but ;ent named Juarez didn’t mean much in my life until I heard Paul Muni was going to play him in a movie. Oh., yes, vaguely, I knew this Juarez had some place in Mex: history along with a couple of imported rulers named Maximilian and Carlotta, and down in Los Angeles’ Olvera Street (the tourists’ Mexican center) they still sing of Don Benito Juarez on fiesta days. But when Muni said he'd play Juarez—then I knew Don 3cnito was Somebody. It's an axiom., Muni can say yes or no on ts hell play. Anybody he plays is bound to be Somebody. ‘Pasteur.” Witness “Zola.” Now witness “Juarez.” T've gone back to school—at Warner Bros. college in Bur- bank. And now I know. Take the word of Prof. Henry Blanke, the associate producer: take the word of Muni himself; of Bette Davis, the film's Carlott of Brian Aherne, the Maximilian. Or (more simply) look it up in your history book. and you'll find the film's slogan timely as tomorrow’s newspaper’'—isn't far wrong. “as Blanke and associates picked “Juarez” as a subject soon after their “Zola” was completed, and the seript has been preparing since September of 1937. Blanke—38, boyish, scholarly—and four writers have been laboring over it that long. Aeneas MacKenzie, Wolfgang Reinhardt (son of Max), John Huston (son of Walter) and Abem Finkel are the quartet. X First steps were to acquire screen rights to Hans Werfel’s play, “Juarez and Maximilian,” and to Bertita Harding's novel, “The PO ESUSSSSUSSUSSU ST ahigh spotinyourday... That's luncheon time at PERCY’S, That big plate lunch served there daily for i only forty cents is just the ticket to send N you back to your work with a new zest. It's at——— PERCY’S DRSS e ] Phantom Crown.” Then research—digging into more than 200 sources. The story, briefly, concerns the efforts of dispossessed Mexican land-owners to regain their holdings after the great liberal presi- dent Juarez, an Indian from Oaxaca, has distributed it among his impoverished exploited people. In France, Napoleon III and Eugenie are persuaded to send French troops to Mexico to drive out Juarez, and in the deal the Hapsburg Austrian Maximilian is made Emperor of Mexico. Driven to the north by French armies, Juarez remains obstin- ate in his battle for democracy, even when Maximilian, after study of the patriot’s doctrines, becomes a convert and offers the fugitive high place in the monarchy. With the end of the Civil War in the United Stat Lincoln invokes the Monroe Doctrine, Juarez captures the capital, and the erstwhile emperor is sen- tenced to death. - This brings on the great scene in the film—the all-important speech in which Juarez refuses, despite the collective pleas of Europe, to veer from his democratic ideals by sparing Maxi- milian’s life, (It was important enough to keep the producer and writers busy on it one solid month.) Important because, up to then, audience sympathy has been with Maximilian and Carlotta, now must be switched to Juarez. From the Warner college I learned, too, that Secretary Wil- liam Seward, who knew both Lincoln and Juarez, once called the latter “the greatest man and greatest leader of his time.” Which ought to be enough—even for Muni. e ———— L e —— —————— =——2) For Juneau, There is no substitute for Newspaper Adveriising‘ : g i A mieeting of the Juneau Wom- ;,,,’Comn,““'“ ki “f‘,effw‘ _ an's Club, esided over by Mrs. Atlanta ‘ , Thomas Haigh, president, and held Export-Import Bank already has akka e found a way to make indirect loans Cor Tucs- WASHINGTON, Feb. 15—The 'to Brazil.
