See Fern About Her Holiday Special Telephone 57 for Appointments [POWERFUL DRAMA AT CAPITOL THEATRE Heralded in advance reports as one of the most exciting and shock- ing films ever made, Columbia’s “To the Ends of the Earth,” star- ring Dick Powell and Signe Hasso, iopens at the Capitol Theatre on Sunday. Breathtakingly conceived on a gi- gantic scope, said to seethe with \suspense and thrill with raw vio- ilence, mysterious intrigue and sud- den death, this fabulous ‘story of exotic adventure and romance should exert a vast appeal for movie- goers. The colorful drama gdins in im- pact by virtue of the authenticity of its incidents which are based on hitherto secret files of the U. 8. Treasury’'s Bureaus of Narcotics, Coast Guard and Customs, It re- Iveals for the first time the opera- {tions of a world-wide crime ring ithat did a billion dollar business in 1evil. | In what is by far his most power- ful role, Powell portrays a tough- ‘hard-hjmng government agent en- igaged in trailing the shadowy Jap- anese captain of a slave-ship. In 'Shanghai, Powell learns that his 'quary is but one link in a criminal syndicate operating on a global bas- is. As the enormity of the gang’s conspiracy is revealed to him, he en- counters govérnment operatives ot other countries and they pool their efforts to break the ring, his quest taking him to the far cities of Cairo, Beyrouth and Havana. As the suspense mounts to an al- most unbearable peak, the grim game of wits (and sometimes vio- lence) between Powell and his aides on the one side and the agents of the criminals mounts to a boiling climax. BESERK GUNMAN KILLS 7 CHESTER, Pa., Nov. 6—#— Seven men were killed and six other persons wounded today by a beserk gunman who died in a sec- icnd floor room where he had . barricaded himself against the 'bullets and tear gas of police. The gunman, a Negro was not lidentified immediately. Police Chief Andrew J. Des- ‘mond, Jr., said he was unable to jlearn immediately what touched ,off the shooting in a largely Negro ,district of this southeastern Penn- sylvania city of 60,000. Desmond gave his account of the shooting: Dectective Ellery Purnsley, ra member of the vice squad, was walking along Market Street when omeone took a shot at him from the second story window. 1 during a furious exchange of shots {the detective and six others were ( killed. A crowd, attracted by the shoot- ing, quickly gathered. The en- tire city police force was mobil- 1zed at the scene. The officers, firing rifles, sub- machineguns and tear gas, poured bullets into the :barricaded room. Witnesses said they were unable to tell during the shooting wheth- {er the'trapped man returned the { fire. | ~Terrorized residents of the neighborhood peered from their homes or skulked from door to door as the barrage continued for more than a half hour. Then Desmond and other offi- cers; covered by the weapons of police posted at strategic spots around the building, pushed cau- tiously up the stairs and into the gunman’s room. They found him dead in the bedroom. SIXKILLED ACCIDENT, TORONTO TORONTQ, Ont., Nov. ¢.—#— Six persons, including two women, were killed and some 65 others were injured early today when a streetcar and a chartered bus col- lided on Toronto’s western out- skirts. Fifteen of the injured were | reported in critical condition. { The Canadian Coach Lines bus carried members of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders Regi- ment of Hamiliton and their wives. They had attended a reunion par- ty at a night spot near the West End Sunnyside Amusement Cen- ter. Most of the critically injured were passengers on the bus. The streetcar was filled . with workers coming off the night shift at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company plant in suburban New The nose of the bus was tightly | imbedded in the front of the street- car, Rescuers used acetylene torches to cut through to the | screaming, moaning victims trap- ped in the bus. { interest. Purnsley returned the fire and STARRING ROLES AT 20TH CENTURY A. Conan Doyle had his Sherlock Holmes and 8. S. Van Dine had| his Philo Vance but Paramount has | Bob (super-sleuth) Hope in the new comedy, “My Favorite Brunette,” and thereby undoubtedly hangs a tale of unrestrained hilarity. Tough | detective Hope is on the trail of evil-doers, tat part of his chase is diverted to co-siar Dorothy La-| mour, his favorite brunette, in the laugh film coming Sunday to the' 20th Century Theatre. | Hope is a victim of mislnken! ident.ty, but this time it is of his; own volition. “My Favorite Brunette” opens with Bob unhappily pursuing his trade, baby photography, while | nursing a frustrated desire to be a | private detective. 1 Consequently when the lovely Miss Lamour, so desperately excited that she mistakes Hope for the private eye next door, enlists his aid in the search for her missing uncie,! Bob grasps eagerly at the oppor- tunity. Dottie entrusts a mysterious | map to Hope's care, and before he | solves his first and last case, Bob! tangles with a gang of insidious foreign agents seeking a secret uranium mine, finds himself almost at home when he's trapped in an insane asylum and winds up in a death cell at San Quentin, framed on a murder rap. Here is a situation to try even Hope’s riotous repertoire of * tricks, but he is said to be howlingly suc- cessful in gagging his way out of the tough spot.
