'RICHARD DIX IS IN | " RAILROAD DRAMA, CAPITOL SCREEN hits “Buckskin Frontier” jackpot. road epic, which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, is, loaded with all the ingredients important to an A-1 western adventure film; this is the first westerner to feed plenty of punchy action and gunplay, a solid, exciting plot and a notable cast of such screen stalwarts as Richard Dix, Jane Wyatt, Albert Dekker and Max Baer to the public, especially fans of outdoor pictures. “Buckskin Frontier” has the com- bination that makes you sit on the edge of your seat, cheering the hero and hissing the villain. Its story is centered around the fight of Stephen Bent, (Richard Dix) to bring the railroad to the west and to develop the prairie land into modern agricultural coun- try. His ideas of progress are stymied by Jeptha Marr who built the wagon-train empire and is re- luctant to give up his power. Marr’s daughter (Jane Wyatt) however, | is won over to Steve's side in the| conflict, and can envision the ex- merce with the coming of the rail-| road. A group of fine actors is assemb- led. Among them are the stars Richard Dix and Jane Wyatt, and Albert Dekker, Lola Lane, Lee Cobb, Max Baer and Joe Sawyer. the| The Harry Sherman rail- | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA LAST RITES FOR HOUSTON CARR TO BE TOMORROW P.M.
