It is a violent and daring lovestory set in the !backwater of a small town. | The picture is handled with su- perb dramatic insight. It builds up, slowly at first and then at an ever- increasing tempo, from the simp! beginning of a girl loved by two men, an angy climax of death disaster and triumph. Mary, played by Ava Gardner, is a headstrong and wilful girl. She had left Ashbury for Chicago despair that played by George Raft, her, will never be anything more than the town loafer. Unable to forget him, the story open when, after two years, she returns to Asbury. Also in love with ker is Lew Lentz, play-! ed by Tom Conw: of The Flamingo, club. It is only too clear to the dis- appointed Mary that Kenny is still the town loafer, coaxing dollar bills for beer and billiards from his hard-working mother, Molly, play- ed by Florence Bates. His friends| are the town's shady characters, in- cluding Gitlo, played by Victor Mc- Laglen, a bartender in Lentz's| nightclub. Gitlo has his own rea-| sons for hating his boss and plays a sinister role inflaming the tiv-| alry between ientz and Kenny to a hatred that culminates in vio- lence. , wealthy owner a lecal night- DOUGLAS NEWS EARLY FIRE ALARM An early morning fire alarm was sounded at 1:15 a.m. calling the de- partment to the former Kilburn house on Fourth Street. The fire which was caused by the burning of soot in pipes between the stove and chimney catching fire to the wall, was quickly extinguished with little damage. Occupants were Mrs. Claude Brown and young child who were awakened by the smell of smoke. Her husband was on duty on the night shift, with the Yellow Cab Co.

All girls are reminded to take a small girt for exchange, and since the party is to be from 7:30 to 10 p.m.,, everyone is asked to be on time so the fun can start with- out delay, GORDON WAHTO RETURNS Gordon Wahto returned yesterday afternoon to his studies at the Uni- versity of Alaska, after spending the holiday with his mother and family here.

With the types of trans- ports now available, it is estimat- ed this would require up to 1,500 {airplanes. With new and larger types, just being built experimental- ly, about 400 might do. Scattered Bases The Army’s installations are scat- Jtered from spots on the Bering Sea, such, as Naknek, to Anchorage in Southwest Alaska with the Army and Navy sharing bases along the Aleutian chain where it juts out toward the Asiatic mainland.

Batter at Sully’s, OBSERVERIZALDAY, MANILA, Dec. 30—The Filipinos | are celebrating the 50th Anniver- | sary of the execution of their na- tional hero, Jose Rizal. It was on this date in 1896 that the Spaniards killed Rizal. Today his T78-year-| old sister sat *in the grandstand while Philippine President Manuel Roxas addressed a crowd of 10,- 000 in ceremonies commemorating the event. Roxas warned that—as he put it —*“a new philosophy opposes our own, one which would substitute the promise of bread for the reality of freedom.” He quoted Rizal's warning to the colonial powers of | his day that “history shows up- risings and revolutions always oc- cur in countries where tyranny rules.” To this Roxas added: “In the Philippines today there can be noj tyrants because there are none who | would accept slavery or oppression.” R - TOM AND JERRY Batter at Sully’s. 463-1t. “No, No, Mr. Abercrombie, that isn’t what we mean when we say a hostess welcomes you aboard every Clipper” Isn’t that Mr.“A” a card ?
