Robinson's first | great sympathetic role, as vivid and as tense as anything he has ever done, makes a noteworthy con- tribution to film entertainment at | the Capitol Theatre, where “Black- | mail” ends tonight. It is an entirely different Robin- son that comes to the screen in this picture. There is a distinctive new quality to his performance as he plays the sympathetic role of |an honest citizen who is uprooted ]Imm his family, thrown into a \brison camp for a crime he did h(not comn.il, and who gradually changes from a man whose strong- ;eSL emotion is love for his wife to one whose bloodlust and only motivating desire is to wreak some | terrible vengeance on the betrayer | whose duplicity placed him behind prison bars. Robinson is seen as an oil well shooter who is recognized by a former shipmate, Gene Lockhart, who turns in an admirable per- formance as the betrayer. Once Robinson has shaken off the pur- suit of prison authorities, he goes about the grim and, in a final dramatic climax, terrifying busi- ness of meting out a fiery and a just vengeance upon his be(rn_vor. - HONOR RATINGS THE CAPITOL HAS THE BIG PICTURES Dtuly Crossword Puzzle Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle l Juneaw’s Greatest Show Value COLIS LAST TIMES B oy At TONIGHT "INDIAHAPQL!S SPEEDWAY" ANN SHERIDAN ———— PAT O BR[‘EN JOHN PAYNE ———— FRANK McHUGH ALS® pecrclNews KLSO Also includ- 105e men- lle Bates, m Davidson, and many others, ACROSS .

Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Cooms HOLLYWOOD, Cal., June 20.—Joan Crawford found that role she went to New York for—and it's her greatest: motherhooed by adoption. . . . Recommended nerve-tonic to jittery Americans: Lincoln’s good- bye address at the close of “Abe Lincoln in Illinois.” . . . If you've missed the movie, you can hear it on records.'. .. Katharine Cornell, last of the stage greats to hold out against pictures, may be weakening if local reports are true. ... She’s supposed to be intrigued by “Jane Addams of Hull House.” . . . Once Miss Cornell rejected flatly a movie offer of some $100,000 PLUS the right to destroy the completed film if it didn’t suit her. . . . She said “no” because she figured she was doing very well on the stage—and the contract could boomerang: if she didn't like the film, and kept it, the fan assumption would be that she was bad in it . Miss Cornell sold film rights to her “Bar- rets of Wimple Street” for a reputed $75,000, of which she retained a third. . . . At the time, her stage show was flourishing, but when she reopened, after the picture’s release, her own business dived. .. " Ben Hecht, the writing man, has a powerhouse seript for his production at Columbia and Doug Fairbanks, Jr., may have a hand. (besides acting) in the handling. . . . The story Bob Taylor really wants to do is “Balloon Busters,” script Metro bought from REO. . ... Those brave new production schedules being announced by the companies sound more like hope sthan plans, in the light of PERCY’S-CAFE. OPEN ALL NIGHT STorp at PERCY’S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau Js talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- IIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIMHIIHIHHIHHHHIIIMWHIIIIIH . I local jitters over the foreign sitummn . .. Hollywood is due for some terrific belt- -tightening. " . . Symbolic was the Paramount sales convention, almost monufic in.its quiet attention to busi- ness, utterly lacking in the free flow of champagne, star and studio parties. . . . Once any studio’s pep gatherings were conducted like fiestas. . Carole Landis, the “Ping+—she, makes you purr—Girl,” may live that one down, but she still looks like Loretta Young when she puts on a brunette wig. . .. Ping Landis has more oomph and it than: Qoomph Sheridan. or It Bow, but not so much as Mary Martin. . . . Henry Wilcoxon was launched on a local movie career by C. B. DeMille when the latter happened in on a Wilcoxon test while looking for a “Crusades” lead. . . . Henry got the part, and stayed .on. . .. Lately the Wilcoxon career has, been limited, and he was on the Paramount lot looking for an interview with De- Mille—at_the right time, because they were looking for a hero for “Mystery Sea Raider,” and Wilcoxon got the part, plus a term contract later. ... That’s like Steffi Duna, who has been buffeted around aplenty. . . . Steffi is doing all right now, since she started anew in “Magnificent Fraud,” . .. And she got that chance because a messenger, delivering a- test reel for the pro- ducer, brought .the wrong/one—“La’Cucaraccha,” the experiment- al color film in which Steffi danced!
