A SUNLAMP \"CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK" IS BILL AT CAPITOL “Chip Off the Old Block,” Uni latest Donald O'Connor- v Ryan feature, which comes | tonight to the screen at the Capi- Itol Theatre, is by ull odds the| lhesl of the lively comedy musicals |which have teamed these engag- ling young personalities. The film |is a superior éxample of movie fare | |suited for all the family | | The sensational young O’Connor’s {star will continue to soar on the |strength of performances such as |he delivers in “Chip Off the Old| |Block.” He is again the irrepres-| |sible American youth, with a gre |capacity for fun and laughter, yet | withal possessed of a maturity be- ! yond his years. | 1 For the most part, however, Don- |ald is the clowning, quipping, spir- iiled boy that won him such rapid | | popularity with film-goers 1 | Universal continues to dvmon-l‘ |strate shrewd judgement in p:unngi O’Connor with pert Peggy Ryan, |whose rare talents for fast comedy are rivalled only by her nimbleness | |as an eccentric dancer. Miss Ryan |is good entertainment by herself; | |with O'Connor as a complement he is sure-fire. | BACK AGAIN IN ALASKA WATERS | AFTER INVASION Back again in the peaceful in-| ‘iland waters of Southeast Alaska, fter making nine trips on thel hell run” between London and | {the French beachheads during . the| ipast several months, Capt. Mait-| ‘land M. Merkley of the Tongass| [today told some of his experiences | |over there. | | Merkley's ship was sent by the| |War Shipping Administration to England before the invasion. There, | it was turned over to the British | Sea Transport, who converted it into a motor vehicle .transport. On June 7, traveling down the Thames Estuary and across the Straits of Dover, the ship headed for the French Coast. It was a crowded ship; rows of armed ve-, hicles lining every foot of deck space and each vehicle had a driver and other necessary crew members. |Then, too, - there were the gun | crews. They had plenty of com- !pany though, as the convoy was scorted by warships. Through Shot, Shell Proceeding through shot and shell, the ships disgorged men and | materials at one of the artificial ports constructed by the Allies. These ports, Merkley said, were formed, first by a breakwater of | sunken ships arranged in a semi- circle, and then caissons were/| towed from England and fixed in place. | The ships were filled with gravel and explosives placed in the bot- toms. After they were placed, the! bottoms were blown off and the vessel settled to the bottom. Capt. Merkley said the German |E boats made the caissons a prime target but when they failed to| nk many of them turned on the' tugs. Many tugs were lost to the U-boats, he said. A favorite trick was to lie tied to a buoy, motors stilled, and then, when the convoy approached to suddenly start up, loose torpedoes and dart off. Robot Bombs Merkley said he and his crew preferred the French beachheads to London at that time because of the robot bombs. Once, while anchored in the estuary a doodlebug, as the British call them, exploded about a mile away. The concussion knocked him flat on the deck. The nine runs on the “ferry” route took 77 days. When some of the French Channel ports were! conquered the need for ships dwindled. Merkley was trapisferred to the Alaska run—all the differ- ence between heaven and hell, he said. Before the war the Captain was employed by the Alaska Transpor- tation Company. He has been with them longer than any of the other Captains. Oh! yes. His previous beachhead experience was at Attu and Kiska. TIDES TOMORROW High tide—1:11 a. m., 16.8 feet. Low tide—6:57 a. m,, 1.5 feet. High tide—1:05 p. m., 19.6 feet.
