Currently celebrating its twenty- fifth or silver anniversary with a forty-minute film, titled “Some of the Best,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presents excerpts from its glowin3 achievements during the past quar- ter of a century. This cavalcade of | great pictures, now at the Capitol | Theatre, displays breath-taking ac- complishments in the field of film spectacle. | “You can have the ‘good old days’| —me, I'll take now,” says William | Bendix. i “I'm always hearing people say they wish they could bring back j those grand old times. All they re-| mind me of is the WPA, a dozen Broadway flops, semi-pro baseball| flops, a grocery store flop — just| floperoos, period.” Bendix flopped often in those; “good old days.” If he leads the life of Riley now, it is because of the “Life of Riley”— the radio show and now the movie of the same title which he made for { Irving Brecher at Universal-Inter- | national and which is the main jfeature at the Capitol Theatre.

ARMSTRONG CHAIRMAN OF (C CRUSADE, ALASKA The Rev. R. Rolland Armstrong, (picture above), field representa- tive for Alaska of the Board of Na- tional Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, has accepted the Territorial Chairman- the Cancer Crusade in Alaska. This according to an- nouncement made today by Mildred R. Hermann, Commander of the Alaska Division of the American Cancer Society. Mr. Armstrong’s selection and acceptance was se- cured by a committee appointed from the Board of Directors com- posed of B. Frank Heintzleman, George Danner and Mrs. Donald Morrison. “We are deeply gratified by Mr. Armstrong’s acceptance of this im- portant post,” Mrs. Hermann said today. “His wide acquaintance in the Territory, his previous service on the Territorial Board of Health as well as his recognized ability and the esteem in which he is generally held make him an ideal choice for his important position. We have great hopes for the Cancer Cru- sade under his guidance.” April, Mrs. Hermann points out, | has been designated by Act of Con- aress as Cancer Control month. The Alaska Division will start its crusade in April but expects to do most of the heavy work in May, she added. ‘The seasonal work in many Alaskan communities plus the added fact that the drive for the Alaska Crip- pled Children’s Association will be on until after Easter, has influenced this policy, she said. “In spite of the fact that Con- gress has set aside April as Cmoer, Control month,” she stated, “we are extremely reluctant to infringe upon the time set locally for other drives.” “The Alaska Division of the Amer- ican Cancer Society is the only agency working on a Cancer Control program that is permitted to keep a portion of the funds raised by it in Alaska,” Mrs. Hermann said. “Sixty *| percent of all money collected re- mains in the Territory to be ex- h pended for the primary benetit of Alaskans. We haven't yet raised funds sutficient to enable us to hos- pitalize cancer patients, but we have made real progress in our educa- tional program, which has now been extended into 175 communities. The results of our crusade this year will determine to what extent we can help cancer patients, but we are gradually accomplishing our major objective—teaching Alaskans to re- cognize Cancer’s 7 Danger Signals before it is too late.” WSCS TO MEET On Wednesday, April 12, at 1:30 p.m., the WSCS will meet at the home of Mrs. Floyd Dryden in the Hillcrest Apartments. Mrs. Ethel Montgomery will present the study, “Japan Begins Again.” FOUR FROM ELMENDORF Four men from Elmendorf Field are registered at the Baranof Hotel. They are: Lt. Col. Charles P.

For subject matter, Ida Lupino and Anson Bond, producers of this | Film Classics semi-documentary re- | lease, turn to the plight of the un- fwed mother. Theirs is a clinical | closeup of a tragic social.problem, | dispatched with extraordinary real-' ism, sympathy and feeling for dra- matic values. Not once is Miss Lupino and her production co-workers guilty cf sensationalism. This is thoughttul | taining a steady build in charac- terization and suspense. Paul Jarricho and Malvin Wald wrote the original story which por- trays the anguish of a typical Amer - ican small town girl caught in the; throes of unrequited love. Her exis- tence becomes one of flight, from; friends, and even from herself, when | she realizes that she is soon to give| birth to a child out of wedlock. Fin- | ally the unhappy girl finds sanc-| tuary in a home for unwed mothers, | where the baby is born. Then comes | the tragedy of having to give the in- fant away to adoption. ; “Not Wanted” is a powerful bit of | realism. Miss Lupino got first-hand | research for the picture from homes | and institutions for unwed mothers | throughout the country.
