With a stellar cast featur- ing Joan Bennett, Louis Hayward and George Sanders, “The Son of Monte Cristo” unfolds a story con- cerning the young and gallant of Monte Cristo, son of France's greatest swordsman, and the villainous dictator of the little grand ducal principality of Lich- tenburg, squeezed between the {Russia of the Czar and the Ger- | many of Bismark in the late nine- teenth century. The nominal ruler, Grand Duchess Zona, played by Joan Bennett, is held a virtual prisoner by the dietator, portrayed by George Sanders. When Zona secretly departs for Paris to ask help from Louis Na- poleon, she meets the daredevil {Count of Monte Cristo, whose iden- tity is kept a mystery. The story reaches a thrilling climax when the Count becomes interested in the cause of the lovely duchess and plots with the dictator's enemies to overthow his iron-hand regime. The cast supporting the stars in “The Son of Monte Cristo” in- cludes such important names as Florence Bates, Lionel Royce, Mon- tagu Love, George Renavent and Jack Mulhall. - |Advice Available To Women's Clubs Dr. W.

S. Commissioner Felix Gray regarding the circum- stances surrounding Bandy's death. Star witness was Rose LaRue, in whose house at 835 West Eighth Street the shooting occurred. With little sign of emotion, Miss LaRue, estranged girl-friend of Bandy, told of his attempt to break into her house, his crushing ‘through a front window and his pursuit of her, as she ran to the house of a neighbor, Anna Zuboff.

E. Alaska Despite all that can be done ‘o help them, hundreds of deer will probably die during the winter months this year, Frank Dufresne executive officer of the Alaska Game Commission, declared today. Forced to the beaches by early deep snows, the deer are being trapped along the water's edge, un- able to scramble back up snow banks cut sheer by tides, Dufresne said. In an effort to enlist the aid of sportsmen to help the deer, circu- lars went into the mail today to points all over Southeast Alaska, asking the hunters to break down scrub trees for the deer to feed lupon. Broadcast Tonight A radio program tonight over the local station will also feature an appeal from local guides and hunt- ers for boatmen to aid the anf- mals, Dufresne said. The program will be between 7:15 and 7:30 p.m. The deer population in thig sec- tion has increased from 40,000 to 60,000 animals during few mild winters, Dufresne said. Following is the circular to hunters: “This is a bad winter for the deer of Southeast Alaska. Eariy deep snows have already forced thousands of them to the beaches, and there is every indication that hundreds of deer will die before spring. They need your help. Ask Aid “An appeal is going out from the | Alaska Game Commission and the U. 8. Forest Service, asking every community in Southeast Alaska to organize for deer relief.
