G. M.’s CHARLES “BllllllY” ROGERS LOUISE ALLBRITTON THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA "SONG OF INDIA" IS WEEKEND BILL CAPITOL THEATRE Sabu, Gail Russell and Turhan Bey are starred in “Song of India,” new Columbia jungle drama open- ing tonight at the Capitol Theatre. The film, said to balance the rich splendor of exotic India with the wild savagery of its roaring jungles, has been praised by advance audi- ences for its romance and its real- ism. Sabu is seen in “Song of India” as a loin-clothed “prince of thc jungle,” ruler of a wild domain in which native superstitions prevent the harming of the wild animals. Miss Russell is a rajah’s daughter bent on “hunting” the beasts with her camera. As her fiance, an In- dian prince, Turhan Bey is deter- mined on capturing the animals for later exhibition. The immediate conflict between the two men, over the fate of the Jungle animals, grows in intensity with their rivalry for the girl’s love. “Song of India” reaches its dramatic climax with a knife fight between i the two princes, and the desperate efforts of an injured Bengal tiger toward revenge.

With less than a month in which to prepare an entirely new set of | numbers the Singers have had to| hold numerous special rehearsals., While the music being prepared is | not as difficult as the Messiah it | has required a change in style which is hard for a large group without the necessary time. | Four popular numbers, Dry Bones, Carmena, All the Things You Are,| and This Day is Mine, will be used as two groups during the show. The "ever delightful, “Say it With Music,” will be used as a finale. “The Singers have worked hard on both the Messiah and the Var- iety Show music. Both the Dir- ector, Mrs. McMullin, and I have come to the point where we dis- like to ask for the extra effort and time that this year’s program is taking, but every member of the group has backed us all the way. Few leaders can say that in a group as large as the Juneau Singers.” Larry Parker, 8Singer President said. Ernest Ehler, tenor soloist in the Messiah, arranged two of the num- bers mentioned above and “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes,” for the Singers so that they might present some of the latest musical numbers to their audience.

The film, rated as a topnotch melodrama, features William Gar- gan, Mary Beth Hughes, Richard Travis and Richard Crane. It tells the story of a police lieutenant’s hazardous assignment to track dowr a killer and clean up the racket- ridden waterfront. The man who controls the rackets is an old enemy of the lieutenant’s and the struggle between the two equally tough, equally determined men is a fight to the death. There is another feature on this double bill show, “Fighting Mad.” Field Denies Sen. Charges On Laffimore WASHINGTON, April 28 — ) — Frederick Vanderbilt Field denied today that, he ever tagged Owen Lattingore as a Communist, but refu: in the face of threatenea contempt charges to say whethe: he himself is one. Field, a man that others have called “the millionaire Communist,’ told a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee it had no right to ask him about his political beliefs. He refused, too, to say whether or not he knows many of the people whose names have come into the committee’s inquiry into charges there are Communists in the State But Field was specific and em- phatic about Lattimore. He said he knew him and that it was “utterly false” that he ever told anyone that Lattimore or Mrs. Lattimore was a Communist, or that he ever attended a Communist meeting with them. Field was emphatic also in deny- ing that he is a Soviet espionage agent. He said he denied that “with- out qualification or reservation.” When Field was dismissed trom the stand, Edward Morgan, coun- sel for the committee, told him to | remain in town as the committee | might want to return to him atter it had “taken consideration of con- tempt.” The committee recessed until Monday when it is to hear Freda Utley, who was once high in Com- munist counsels.
