WS STANDARD of CALIFORNIA NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CORP., NEW YORK { “"THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE - JUNEAU, ALASKA "= PAGE FIVH EXCITING STORY NOW ON SCREEN, CAPITOL THEATRE ; Exceeding the boldest flights of | fancy of the fiction writer, yet firmly grounded in sober fact, Co- lumbia’s “To the Ends of the Earth,” starring Dick Powell and Signe Has- 80, arrived at the Capitol Taeatre |yesterday and proved to be one of the outstanding films of the vear. Its lurid tale of violence, intrigue and death, set in the vivid and ex- otic locales of the far corners ot the earth, is packed with absorting entertainment from start to finish. The exciting, and frequenuy shocking story is based on hitherto {secret files of the U. S. Treasury and its Bureaus of Narcotics, Cus- itoms and Coast Guard. It tells of |Powell as a government agent on jthe trail of a ruthless lawbreak ': It reveals how this two-fisted ope:- ative, in a brush with unknown enemies in Shanghai, comes to gr10s with a world-wide crime ring trad‘ng in contraband. Cairo, Beyrouth and Havana are strands in the finely spun network of the criminal syndicate. Powell shrewdly permits contraband to slip through the fingers of law er- forcement agents for he is playity ltor bigger game: the archcriminal iof the gang. A rousing climax cans ’;the actionful film on a ship bouni |for New York and the gigantic 'ring that covered the globe is round- | ed up. In portraying the government sperative, Powe:i gives one of the otable performances of his caveer. Shrewd, resourceful and 1>Kkiry every inch the part, he is th> per- conification of daring. Miss Hasso strikes a romantic note in puying an American girl in China steeped in mystery. SR SO NEW ASSN. DECIDES . 5. ELIGIBILTY FOR COMPETIION School administrators from all parts of Southeast Alaska found their weekend conference of great value. The round table sessions were largely instructional, clarify- {ing many points of administrative and executive procedure. One of the chief things to come out of the conference, which met Friday and Saturday, was organi- zation of the Southeast Alaska High School Activities Association, which agreed on rules for eligibil- ity - for interscholastic competition. - {Dr. James C. Ryan, Commissioner i of Education, was named ex-officio secretary-treasurer, and will serve | as arbitor in cases of disputed eli- | gibility. | The group of twelve educators who met with Dr. Ryan also con- sidered the problem of teachers' | salaries, and recommended to the | Territorial Board of Education that | the refundable salary scale be in- creased by $300. | ‘ They also requested that the Board request legislative appropria- !tlon of funds to be available to | scheol districts for capital expen- ldnures, based on a grant-in-aid iplan. i | s LR | BLACK cOD ON TUNDRA The Tundra, skippered by Peter Oswald, unloaded 2,000 pounds of black cod at Juneau Cold Storage | this morning.

JUNEAU AND DOUGLAS BOP HOPE WITH | ' DOROTHY LAMOUR | | | - AT 20TH CENTURY| Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour, | teamed in “My Favorite Brunette,” ' are at the 20th Century in a fun| and thrill picture. | _Of course, Miss Lamour thought | Bob was someone else, a private de- tective, instead of the baby pho- tographer he really is the mirth and murder riot. She is in a highly | excited state when she mistakes Hope for the sieuth in the next of- | fice, and engages him to track down | her missing uncle. She also gives | Hope a map to “safeguard with his life,” and the phrase becomes too | much of a reality before long. | A vicious gang of foreign agents are “hent on relieving Hope of the | chart, the key to a secret uranium m'ne, Against their knives, guns and fists, Bob has only his rapier- like wit which he uses with machine- gun rapidity. While this convulses the audience, Hope's enemies are entirely without a sense of humor. They finally frame him on a mur- der charge, and the warden at San Quentin s about! to give him the works. But Dottie arrives in the nick of time with the evidence of Hope's innocence, and the film, as well it should, ends on a gay note.
