Indeed* this is a story ripped from the headlines, for it is the drama - behind - the - drama of the Burma Road, ‘the 750-mile rock- hewn path between Rangoon and Shanghai providing a life-line to the beleaguered Chinese Army. And it is a story told with full force and fury. It doesn’t pull any | punches. That lovable old country medico, “Dr. Christian,” played by Jean | Hersholt, preventts a gross miscar- riage of justice in tthe new RKO Radio picture, “They Meet Again” which shares the bill. He uncovers a situation that not only saves an innocent man from prison, but also saves the life of the young daught- er of the accused. Aside from an interesfing plot, the picture is embellished with an | abundance of good .music. Youth- ful Anne Bennett, nine-year-old soprano sensation, takes the bur- den of the renditions on her youth- ful shoulders, and according to Hollywood critics, delivers one of the outstanding child performances of the current season. Both opera and swing music have impressive representattion in the new film, SRS g TWO-THIRD OF GUARD UNIT IS NOW EQUIPPED Remainder Are o Receive Rifles, Ammunition This Evening About two-thirds of the enrollees in Company One of the Juneau unit of the Alaska Territorial Guard were equipped with rifles and ammunition in the Shattuck Building last night, according Dr. G.
