IN FIM HERE | Merle Oberon, laurence i Olivier at Capifol in "Wuthering Heights’ With Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier headir cast of promin ent players. amuel Goldwyr most important and most outstanc- ing production to date, “Wuther- ing Heights,” opened yesterday at the Capitol Theater. “Wuthering Heights,” based on the great,love story of the Emily Bronte novel of the same name was made from § a brilliant screenplay written joini- ly by two of Hollywood's foremost scenarists Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. In addition the new picture has the advantage of di- rection by that skillful craftsman William Wyler who has previously given the world of entertainment such unusual pictur End,” “These Three, and “Jezebel.” “Wuthering Heights” is unjuestionably his greatest di- rectorial job to date. The story of “Wuthering Heights" is a story of love and hate; of ro- mance and revenge, of beauty and drunkenness. It unfolds on the wild, desolate moors of the York- shire country. It peers into the lives of five people whose destinies become strangely entangled through a series of weird episodes. Merle Oberon in portraying the role of Cathy, a highly emotional, high- spirited beauty, turns in one of the most unforgettable perform- ances the screen has offered in many a moen. Laurence Olivier, as the brooding, fearsome half-gypsy fulfills a role of great difficulty with consummate insight and power. The other important roles in the cast, played by Flora Roh- son, David Niven, Geraldine Fitz- gerald, Hugh Williams and Miles ¢ Mander, uphold the stirring drama | and high emotional pitch of the | . | story unfalteri Now yeu see an o/ the face cha) Dache’s new hats with wide sides SKY QUEEN MARRIED knew the residents of Alaska were unanimous in suport of this me ure as an act of ordinary justice and that the present law, which permits the seizure of boats and gear by fore conviction of the alleged o fender, was susceptible of great abuse and had resulted in many abuses and no longer ought to be tolerated. He urged that it was unfair and unjust to give into the hands of any officer the power to compel a fisherman to plead guilty of an alleged offei upon pain of being deprived of his boat or during the fishing ses and until trial could be had in the Distri Court to determirie whether or not a forfeiture should be ordered 7 n Trolling Records The bill, H. B. 812, to permit trolling for salmon during weekly closed periods, was introduced at the instance of the Alaska Trollers Association and was strongly sup-| ported by that Association and its| members. The principal evidence in support of the bill was taken in | Alaska by the subcommitfee last summer, particularly by witnesses The Dele- |gate called the attention of the | committee to that testimony which | appears in the printed record of | the hearings, and urged the enact- | |ment of the bill. In order that the’ | committee might be fully informed, he told of several letters which he {had received opposing the passage s |of the bill. | H. R. 6690, seeks to extend to Nelson Lagoon and the surrounding area the same rule which now ap-| plies by law to Bristol Bay, whereby | | fishing with set sets or stake mets| is limited to residents of the area. | Such legislation permits that type| of fishing to be carried on by old| cagO-New | persons and young people or women | Pilot on the route Miss Wilson who are not physically able to fish| flew with drift gill nets or with seines.| ——— ‘GEORGE COLLINS, .
