CHRISTMAS PARTY DECEMBER 23 AT 8:00 P T Sturm Locker System MAIN AT THIRD STREET TELEPHONE 544 IN GREAT ROLE AT CAPITOL THEATRE A powerful exposition of the ten- et that the wages of sin can be death is offered by “A Woman's Vengeance,” starring Charles Boy- r, Universal-International picture it the Capitol Theatre for the last t'mes tonight. Boyer plays an English country | entieman in the Aldous Huxley | story, a classic of contemporary h literature whose unnappy narriage to a shrewish invalid is| nded by her death in circumstanc- indicat ng murder by poison. Tried in Old Bailey, central crim- nal ccurt of London, he is con- icted by an imposing array of cir- umstantial evidenee and sentenc- ed to hang. | All the ind’'scretions of his reck- less past, including a clandestine tomance with a pretty young shop- irl, are arrayed against him by an inflexible prosecution. Friends and servants turn against him un- il there rema'ns only the family shysician unconvinced of his guilt Boyer turns in a fascinating study of a man who comes to accept an unjust death as punishment not for the crime of which he is accused but as a retribution for his life’s mistakes. A careful chosen and expert cast turns in a series of sterling per- formances which build and main- tain a poignant suspense up to the last mement of the picture. ->->o BRIHiSHtTO KEEP | HANDS OFF OVER POLICY IN CHINA| LONDON, Dec. 9.—(P— Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin declared to- | day Britain will follow a hands-ofi policy in Communist-menaced Chi- na. “We have explained to the Chi- | nese government, whose position we understand, that our financial anc | economic position precludes us from | doing- anything very material for| China,” he told the House of Com- mons, ‘The Foreign Secretary was open- ing a two-day debate on foreign affairs, in which Winston Churchill will speak tomorrow t Where you can buy meat at COST to put in your locker.
