"THESTORM' | NEWDRAMA ~ FOR CAPITOL Sea Adventure Opens To- night for Two-Day Billing Here Revealing for the first time the untold drama of wireless operators on merchant ships, Universal's big- scale production of “The Storm,’ opens tonight at the Capitol Thea- tre. Graphic action and realism is in- dicated through an all-star cast, which includes such rugged per- formers as Charles Bickford, Bar- ton MacLane, Preston Foster, Andy Deyine and Frank Jenks. Romance in the story is carried by Tom Brown as the young brother, and Nan Grey as his sweetheart, the pretty nurse. Impressive scenes in the screen- play by Daniel Moore, Hugh King and Theodore Reeves show the crashing of the ship into an iceberg, the explosion of an oil tanker as it sails from port, and several rou hand-to-hand battles between ships’ crews when they meet waterfront cafes. Logical motivation of the story is provided by Bickford, as a reckless wireless operator, who loves the ad- venture of his profession but seeks to prevent his brother, Brown. from following the same career, Nan Grey, cast as the ship's nurse, has her most important opportunity since she scored with Deanna Dur- bin in “Three Smart Girls,” “The Storm” was vigorously di- rected by Harold Young and pro- duced by Ken Goldsmith, the com- bination responsible for the suceess of “Little Tough Guy.” Milton Krasner was the cameraman. in FIELD MANAGER IS RETURNING HOME Joe Morrison, Airport Manager for the Pacific Alaska Airways field at Whitehorse, arrived in Ju- ineau on the Princess Charlotte last night after a hurried trip squth occosioned by the illness of his mother in Seattle.
