CHRISTIAN COMES FRIDAY 10 CAPITOL ""Melody for Three"" Stars Jean Hersholt in Favorite Role The latest “Dr. Christian” pic- | , “Melody for Three”, opening y at the Capitol Theatre, de-| parts somewhat from its usual for- | mula. With Jean Hersholt appear- | ing again as the kindly country doctor, the fifth in the popular ser- ies is based on a story with a con- | cert background, and moves from | Prison Inmates Prepare for War the simple life of “River's End” to|? the hustle of a broadcasting studio | in Chicago. { Interwoven in the unfolding ofi the screenplay is a dramatic love' story, with Fay Wray and Walter | Woolf King the principals. Through | the benign influence ¢f “Dr. Chris- | tion,” the two are brought togeth-' er, with their son, played by Schuy- ler Standish, serving as the tie that binds. Standish, a twelve-year-old discovery of the star, is featured in a violin solo of Brahms' Hungar | ian Dance No. 5. Hersholt, as a result of his work on the screen and on the air, has made “Dr. Christian” the most fa- mous medico in the world. In “Mel- ody for Three” he does much to! | justify his popularity with a role that runs the gamut from tense drama to light comedy. | Included on the double bill is| | “Missing Ten Days” with Rex Har- rison —— v PRISON SHIP LANDS NAZS, CANADA PORT (Continued from Page One) | marched from their gray prison ship through lines of soldiers armed with bayoneted guns and tommy guns to a heavily guarded train On the sea side of the ship lay a naval launch with her Lewis guns | stripped for action. | The prisoners were less ithem plodding along with | bowed. cocky heads His 110th Trip !

Certainly no single correspondent turned out more copy on the little man whose life is so bound up in India’s destiny than Jim Mills. On the day Gandhi was making his greatest decision, one that not only affected India, and the British empire, but the whole world, Jim Mills died. It was Morgan Beatty, the radio commentator, who said: “You know that clinches what undoubtedly will turn out to be Gandhi’s greatest prophecy.” And to the queries of “How s0” he explained: Mills was the last person to speak with Gandhi when the Indian lead- of Today 1y ships enroute to a, or through the Pan- cruise boats | South Americ for half a day.
