TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1942 i 'WHIMSY, ROMANCE | COMBINE IN NEW CAPITOL FEATURE Al that Money Can Buy” Comes Wednesday -Splendid Cast One of the most unusual film offerings in years, RKO Radio's “All That Money Can Buy” mixes drama, whimsy, and romance in as- tonishing fashion on the screen of |the Capitol Theatre, where it will |open tgmorrow night. William Dieterle, who produced and directed the picture, has ad- hered closely to the beauty and im- agery of the Stephen Vincent Benet story, which was published in the Saturday Evening Post under the title, “The Devil and Daniel Web- ster,” and the result is a cinematic i delight as well as a stirring trum- | pet-call to patriotism. With its action laid among the | hills of New Hampshire a century |ago, the film tells of the bargain by | which a young farmer sells his soul WILLIAM MYRNA POWELL - LOY & l 4 | | | i i | Féa TOMORROW— A GREAT -MOTION PICTURE DARES TOBE DIFFEREN ~ I'to satisfy Bdword Waltor Jane ARNOLD * HUSTON + DARWELL Simy Anns James SIMON * SHIRLEY - CRAIG —PLUS— “INFORMATION PLEASE" LATEST NEWS Prevue Tonight—1:15 A.M.

B. Phillips, Superintendent of Schools, an A-5 Priority Rating to order a new relay panel. | So in the length of time it ‘takes | to flash an order for the panel,| wait for the order to be filled, the | panel shipped and installed, school students once again may find the clock in the front hall registering something other than 9:30 o'clock. Last year, when the relay panel wore out, it was necessary to let many of the clocks in the schools stop as priorities were awaited. | Supt. Phillips is hoping the clocks | won't have taken more than 3 year’s vacation before they unfold their hands and start to work once more.

The devil, who appears under the New England cognomen of “Mr. Scratch,” fulfills his part of the agreement and the farmer becomes rich but loses the love of his wife and the respect of his neighbors. When the time comes to pay up, however, the farmer makes a des- perate effort to renege on the deal. His wife learns the truth and ap- peals to the greatest man in New England, Danie] Webster, to help them. How the famous statesman comes to the rescue and with his compelling eloguence endeavors to farmer from the clutches of Mr. Scratch, makes for the dramatic and memorable climax of the unique offering. PVT. SAM RITTER, FORMER JUNEAU RESIDENT, VISITS Pvt. Sam Ritter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Ritter of Juneau, was in town yesterday on his way to the Westward to be assigned to duty. He entered the Army last from Fairbanks and spent some time “with forces in Alaska prior to going outside some months ago for training at the school for cooks at Fort Lewis.

This will no doubt be' increased to over 1,000 in the Unit- ed States and 75 overseas divisions before the end of this year. In these units there are 1800 pro- fessional workes and 500,600 vol- unteer workers doing splendid work,” Mr. Hall said. “This doesn’t mean that the gov- ernment has built a building in every one of these places.
