THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1948 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-JUNEAU, ALASKA « "HIT PARADE," GAY MUSICAL COMEDY, CAPITOL THEATRE There is a four-star hit in “Hit Parade” showing at the Capitol Theatre. The phrase “four star” is literal as well as figurative, because the film is highlighted by the impres- sive performances of the four per- sonalities about whom the gay, lilt- ing tale revolves. They are Eddie Albert, who just wowed the critics with his per- formance in “Smashup;” Constance Moore, cevastating musical com- ] | i 8:00-10:10 SONGS! GALS! GAYETY! TONIGHT?

Then two walks followed by sin- gles by Gene Woodling and Mick- ey Rocco—and a fielde's choice— rammed home three, runs in the Seals’ eighth, wiping out a 3-1 Angel lead. The Seals added an- other tally in the ninth for a 5-3 victory last night. Scoring their second straight over the Angels, the Lefty O'Doul clan moved 1% games into the PCL van. Runner-up Oakland lost again to Hollywood, 5-3. Andy Skurski’s two-run homer in the ninth gave Hollywood the nod cver Oakland. The blow broke a 3-3 tie. Sacramento’s Edgar Smith, port side twirler, and Manny Salvo, who throws from the starboard, combined to shut out San Diego, 9-0, on seven hits.

NEW YORK, July 29—(P—Three of the top money-winning race horses of the world—Stymie, Armed and Assault—have had to retire in re- cent months and the other, Citation, is temporarily on the shelf. . ... .. One explanation is the “hard” tracks that some racing plants fa- vor in order to show faster times. . Another is just plain overwork from trying to make more dough.
