TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1949 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA "CANON CITY" IS SHOWING TONIGHT CAPITOL THEATRE All the excitement, stark drama, and action-filled moments of the jail break by 12 hardened crimishls at Colorado State Penitentiary which astounded the nation in December, 1947, is brought to the screen with graphic authenticity in “Canon City,” latest Eagle Lion movie which is at the Capitol The- | atre for the last times tonight. The story of the 12 desperate men and their daring attempt to make a getaway is fraught with all the human emotions that could possitly be packed into one pic- ture. No fiction story could provide the same suspense, the same blood- | tingling thrills that are portrayed |in this real-life drama. Starring in the excellent cast are Scott Brady, as the unwilling mem- ber of the desperate twelve; Jeff Corey, as ringleader; Robert Bice and Ray Bennett, who made the prop guns used in the escape. — e OPERATORS OF GOLD| MINES MAY SECURE CLOSE DOWN RELIEF WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—(®— The Senate judiciary committee has acted to help operators of gold mines which were closed down dur- ing the war.
