MOOSE LOSE GRIP: TIE -Three-Hour_G—a me Starts three weeks of the season were shewn last night by the Moose when they tied the Elks 11 to 11 in the last of the eleventh in- ning, have been in the league cellar, times were runs ahead. KOSKI STARTS With Koski starting on the mound |for the Elks, the Moose rapidly chalked up eight runs in the first two innings and the game looked like an- other walk-away for the Moose. The score stood 8 to 3 at the end of the second, for the Elks had taken four hits and three runs from Converse while at bat. The surprise of the game was when Lewis, stepping up to the plate for the first time this season, drove a | terrific homer over the left fence, and trotted home to the first run of the game. But when the Moose came up against Koski, who was not pitching | as well as he did when the Elks met the Mcose in their last game, they promptly took four runs an inning from him in the first two cantos and it was then that the Elks sent in their second pitcher, Lewis, who fin- ished the game.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 29.—“MY FAVORITE WIFE." Sereenplay by Bella and Sam Spewack. Directed by Garson Kanin, Principals: Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Randloph Scott, Gail Patrick, Ann Shoemaker, Scotty Beckett, Mary Lou Har- rington, Donald MacBr'de, Hugh O’Connell, Granville Bates, Pedro de Cordoba. There may be funnier picures made this year, but the signs are favorable. “My Favorite Wife" has a quality that keeps an audience alternately chucking, smiling and roaring, with no letdowns in between. Y ‘The success should not be surprising. Leo McCarey, the pro- ducer here, directed the co-stars in their former comedy click, ‘The Awful Truth.” Kanin, the director, was behind Ginger Rogers’ click in “Bachelor Mother.” Dunne and Grant, even surer of their comedy tricks than in the former picture, have the support of a superlative cast and the benefit of a cleverly contrived seript. The story is the reverse angle on that of the current “Too Many Husbands.” The wife has been shipwrecked, retuwrns seven years later on the day of her husband’s honeymoon. She takes a plane, arrives in San Francisco at the honeymoon hotel just as the newlyweds are going up to their suite. There's a complication here, however, where it was lacking in “Too Many Husbands.” The spouse, loving his first wife and dreading to tell his second that the first is still alive, learns the castaway wife had a companion (Scott) on the shipwreck island, and puts her on the defensive. When the story gets too paper thin, writing and direction and acting dress it up cleverly. The finalesmacks of “The Awful not PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT ol sTorp at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! Truth” in ts boudoir problem, but it is accomplished even more amusingly here, with Grant’s final appearance and line a smash- ing comedy surprise. Top character in support is Bates' judge. MacBride’s hotel clerk. Excellent, too, is “TURNABOUT.” Screenplay by Mickell Novak. Berne Giler, John McClain, Rian James from novel by Thorne Smith. Directed by #al Roach. Principals: Adolphe Menjou, Carole Landis, John Hubbard, William Gargan, Verree Teasdale, Mary Astor, Donald Meek, Joyce Compton, Inez Courtney, Franklin Pangborn, Marjorie Main, Margaret Roach. See this before you see “My Favorite Wife,” and it may seem funnier than I think it is. I think it is fairly funny, but not nearly so hilarous as it might have been—handled, say, by a Mc- Carey, a Kanin, a Lubitsch. Thorne Smith fans will know the story of the young couple who spent their time quarreling and wished they could change places. Through the offices of a mystic statue, Mr. Ram, the change ‘in sexes is effected. The wife (Landis) goes to her hus- band’s job, looking like him but talking and fluttering like her- self. The husband (Hubbard) stays home to entertain the girls, looking like his wife, but talking and acting like himself. The feminine husband and the masculine wife cause the ex- pected trouble at office and at home, but the hand of Director Roach too often is obviously heavy over the proceedings, and the film is slowed down by unnecessary excursions into irrelevant matters, sample of which is Meek’s slapstick chase of the toy bear. “I WAS AN ADVENTURESS.” Erich Von Stroheim, Peter Lorre. Zorina, Richard Greene, Another one about the two confidence men and their pretty cat’s-paw, who goes straight when real love comes into her life. Zorina looks elassically beautiful, acts a little and dances in an artisticaly-conceived presentation of the ballet, “Swan Lake.” Lorre is interesting as a psychopathic crook. field | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29 |last, took a grip on himself and also |a double from Koski. Although Law- son in the last two games has been playing excellent ball for the enemy | camps, he succeeded in making his hit score, and the three hour strug- |gle was on. Lawscn's run was succeeded by those of Martin, Snow and Converse, and with the exception of Lawson, who flied out, the team repeated the scoring feat in the next canto, Mar- |tin, Snow, Johnson and Converse |chalking up the counters. But the camp of the Moosemen was quiet for the next three frames, {only one hit and no runs being made. And in the meantime the deter- mined Elks kept plugging away. Ad- dleman knocked a double that was turned into a run by Havlic's single, and in the fourth, Pasquin, Mac- Spadden and Lewis got gold stars in the credit side of the ledger. Elks Retaliate But still the Moose had a lead of one run, so when the first half |cf the sixth canto ended the Elks had remedied the danger temporar- ily after four men had made the tour of the bases. Addleman, Mac- Spadden, Neilsen and Kumaska got | around the sacks and the score board gave the Elks a three run lead. Neilsen, who seldom goes to bat without getting on base, went to firs ton a walk, and the other three got hits, Addleman smashing | | @ homer over the fence and making | | his third hit of the game. | Two home runs, by Johnson und‘ | Guy brought up the score for the| Moose when their turn came, and, | |to a win, they continued in their | | hitting spree, with Slugger Snow: connecting with a double and tying | the old ball game.
