About this great-Northern Territory will be published Sunday, March 26 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE >:oor.... ot R i A "I AMLAW" IS FEATURE AT CAPITOL Edward 6. Robinson, Star of Film Opening Sun- day, Local Theatre Heralded as one of the most im- portant pictures of 1938, because of Jits unique story, fine cast and splen- | did technical staff, Columbia’s “T !Am the Law” opens Sunday at the | Capitol Theatre with Edward G. | Robinson starred | . Robinson is cast as a mild-man- nered law professor who employs his sabbatical leave to wipe out the rackets as fighting prosecutor. Otto Kruger is the undercover chief of the underworld who, to divert sus- picion from hmiself. is active in en= couraging and advising Robinson's anti-crime campaign. Barbara O/« Neil, who made her screen, debut in “Stella Dallas,” is reported to pro= vide a sensational performance as Robinsons wife, and Wendy Barrie and John Beal, as an ex-reporter turned gungirl, and as the crusading professor’s aide, are others in the exceptional cast. “I ‘Am the Law"” has a novel and | thrill-packed climax, according to | advance reports, in which Robinson shows several hundred criminals a {new reel of an electrocution; he al- ‘so shows suspects “Candid” news | movies of racketeering conferences. | These, as prima facie evidence of ‘collu.slon between suposed honest | and ‘known criminals, are ‘efiecuve in‘leading toward confes- ! sions. | The climax is, in itself, brouglit |'about by a motion picture. Robinson obtains an actual movie of a murder | being committed—a picture obtained under dramatic but perfectly feasible circumstances. | The return engagement of “It Happened One Night,” plus a west- ern, “Bast of OCheyenne” ends to- nights as the Capitol show. ROBINSON STARRED IN GANGSTER FAR(E AT COLISEUM SHOW A new era dawns! Gangsterism as a theme for motion pictures has finally reached the stage where it can be kidded, That's what happens in “A Slgiht Case of Murder,” a gaily hilarious| burlesque from the studios of War- ner Bros., which will win howls of | ¥ laughter from audiences at the Col- iseum Theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Curiously, the star of this farce is the same man. who first estab- lished the gangster-racketeer as a familiar scréen figure—Edward G. Robinson, who years ago was the menacing “Little Caesar” and who carried on through various under- ‘world pictures right down to “Bullets or Ballots” and the recent “Kid Galahad” and “The Last Gangster.” There are shootings in “A sflght[ Case of Murder,” of course. In fact | four gangsters of various degrees of | wickedness bite the dust. But' the| killings are so ludicrous that they bring laughs instead of gasps. Ending tonight is the double bill, “Bpecial Street” and Starlightipver Texas.™ ncU'GLAs | ANNUANEE’IWS | OF N. L.
