TURE MABCH OF TIME Featuring America’s Youth 1940 COMEDY HIT AT CAPITOL SHOW Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant Co-Star in Pic- ture Here With Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in the maddest, merriest whirlwind of a romance ever brought to the screen, Columbia’s “His Girl Friday” opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre. A Howard Hawks' production, with Ralph Bellamy heading a splendid sup- porting cast, “His Girl Friday” rates all the encomiums in the lexicon of a critic. It's gay, it's delightful, it's fast and furious, it's wi and witty and outrageously racy. It sparkles, and it possesses as well, an undertone of tragedy which finds expression chiefly in the swift-paced action of the well- knit plot. Grant, Miss Russell’s exhusband, is the managing editor of a news- paper, and the girl is—or was— his star reporter. But her efforts to quit newspaper work in order to marry a Casper Milquetoastish sort of insurance agent are con- stantly foiled by the hectic devel- opments of a sensaticnal story which, she has been tricked into The yarn, of nation- ing consequence, follows its dramatic path even as Grant—in order to keep his ex-wife on the job and away from the man she wants to maicy — cofistantly and persistently ames” the insurance man, kidnaps his mother, and gen- crally comports himself in the ss, dashing fashion which has the idol of millions of rec made him fans. - - Miss Walther Is Honored Before Vacation Trip To bid farewell to Miss Clara Walther, who sailed south on the Prince Rupert for a six weeks’ vaca- tion in the states, several friends called Saturday evening at the Wil- liam Hixon residence on Second Street.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal,, Aug. 19.—This is a piece about a new movie that isn't a'good movie by usual standards, but it's a plc- ture to see. It's called “The Ramparts We Watch” and is about national defense and the problems of today. To find the answer to today's questions, the film goes back to the placid, peaceful America of 1914, at the outbreak of the first World War. Those of us who were growing up then will remember it as something we saw but did not quite comprehend. The adult war generation will remember these scenes all too well. Through newsereel clips tled in by an effective commer tor's voieé, and through a modern re-enactment by non-prof sional actors, the war as it struck a typical American community is recreated. We see first the general apathy towards the forelgn conflict, the growing resentment towards Germany and the ulti- mate demand for U. S. action. We see America, unprepared, swinging into action, demon- strating its amazing, scarcely realibed power and unity. We see the victory, and Wilson off to Europe with his ideals — and then, briefly, the current situation. There the film ends, and there Americans can draw their own conclusions. Some, doubtless, will see the picture as propaganda, i. e, “What you've done before you can do again — and ‘why not?" PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT. sTopP at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that’ all Juneau is talking about. - TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! including myself, see it as a restatement of this nation's powers and principles, of its ability to face without fear what- ever may come to threaten it, to do whatever is necessary to preserve America. It is a powerful answer to any Americans who fear that this nation’s sun has set, that its people and its ideals are not equal to survival in a conquest-crazy world. If you look at it this way, “The Rampas We Watch,” a fea- ture done in the documentary manner, is the greatest tear-jerker ever made. Most of us were blubbering at the nd. A shot of whirring factory wheels had greater effect than the intended tear- jerking staged scenes, such as the funeral of the local lad who went off to fly for the Alies before American entry into the war, or the scene of the immigrant girl whose dad had been re- called to Europe by the “old country” — and killed. Specialists in nystalgia- will delight in the newsreel clips— of Wilson and the {preparedness parades”; of a slimmer, younger Hoover fighting the famine in Belgium; of a younger F, D. R. as Assistant Secretary of the Navy; of Teddy Roosevelt calling for a “Lig stick.” We'd almost forgotten the “peace at any price” parades, but here they are. In the personal! dramas (by the non-pro actors) other things come back: The shameful snubbing of German-Americans, the war relief knitting and bandage bees, the family discussions on war, the ways war hit home in every community. o 3 S
