We will take them up in that cr- der, although that may or may not be the way we feel about them. Washington has no horse tracks of its own, but not far over t line in Maryland are such spols as Laurel and Havre de Grace where the horses run and the touts ply their trade with skilful additions to their tricks which should be re- ported. At Laurel a tout rushes up to whisper something in the ear of Postmaster General Farley but is casually brushed aside and doesn't press his point.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, ("PACIFC LINER” 15 NEW DRAMA AT CAPITOL THEATRE | Victor Mclaglen, Chester | Morris Star in New | Sea Picture The vivid contrast between the boredom and sophistication on the | passenger deck of an ocean steamer, and the inferno of human passions in the vessel's stokehold, presents a {striking background for RKO- Ra- | dios “Pacific Liner,” in which Victor |h’[\ Laglen and Chester Morris are co-starred. The picture st to- night at the Capitol Theatre. [ The story revolves around the pro- | ‘Iewiunnl and romantic conflict be- tween a husky chief engineer of a |large liner and the ship's doctor, | I played by McLaglen and Morris r | pectively, while Wendy Barrie is| !seen as a pretty nurse in whom both jare interested. | | Enroute from Shanghai to San‘ | Francisco, an epidemic breaks out | among the grimy engine room crew. ! Although the stokehold of the ves- | sel is quarantined by the doctor,| and the malady strikes down one | crew member after the other, the| belligerent chief engineer refuses to lessen the pace of the gigantic en- | gines. Hysteria and panic reign in | the depths of the steamer, counter- pointed by the bitter conflict be- tween the two iron-willed men. In| striking contrast to this condition, | however, is the apathy and selfish- ness of the irresponsible passengers above deck, who, kept in'ignorance of the human tempest raging below decks, decry the liner's slow speed. It is in this respect that the story | is said to strike a unique note in| characterigation, adding power and realism to its drama. | The cast in “Pacific Liner” also in- cludes Barry Fitzgerald, Alan Hale and Allan Lane.
