GEORGE RAFT IN THRILL FEATURE, CAPITOL THEATRE u i I | Columbia’s “Johnny Allegro,’ starring George Raft in a romantic| drama of international intrigue, (murder and treason, is coming to |the Capitol Theatre for tonight only. Nina Foch and George Ma-| cready head the cast of supporung’ players. Reported to be the fast-moving story of international gangsters and money smuggling, “Johnny Allegro” casts Raft as a slick, quick-witted character, with a shady past, who is employed by the government to trap a mob flooding the U.S. with illegal currency. Miss Foch plays & glamour girl who falls for Raft, while Macready, as her husband and head of the money mobsters, is probably the oddest villian of the year in the role of a cultivated scholar who delights in eliminating his opponents with a primitive| bow and arrow. In the exciting climax of the film, Raft plays a deadly game of hide and seek with archer Macready as the law closes in on the gang leader. When the last of his arrows| are expended, the two slug it out| on the edge of a cliff. !

H. A. O. 8. (Can- non Hunters Association of Seattle) has made its first contribution to the Territorial Museum. The gift, an explosive-type can- non ball from an old Russian ship sunk in English Bay, is a missing link in the Museum’s collection of early-day projectiles used in Alas- ka.

The cannon ball was given to CHA.OS. by Ray Westfall of Ju- neau and presented to E. L. Keith- ahn, curator of the museum, by Don Clark, head of the Alaska Div- ision of the Cannon Hunters or- ganization The projectile was given to West- fall four years ago by an Aleut native who had retrieved it from the sunken ship during an ex- treme low tide.

KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY BONDED 100 PROOF by ODOM COMPANY FRENCH FARM FILM, AT 100F HALL MAY 27| The peculiar kinds of poetic vi- tality which blaze in every real thing and which are lost to every other artist except to an artist with a camera, are shown in an earthly reality in the French motion pic- tire, “Farrebique,” to be shown next Saturday evening at the Oddfellows Hall. The film, made in 1946, is in sound and carries English transia- tions of the French dialogue. It is described as the best film now in this country showing continental farm life, the land and its people. There are no professional actors in the picture, the only characters being the members of a French farm family, the Farribiques, con- sisting of the grandparents, parents and their children, and two neigh- bors. “Farribique” will begin at 8 pm., with no admission charge. A silver offering will be taken to offset ex- penses, which include rental of the 90-minute film, and air express charges from the states. This is ex- ! pected to be about $45. The film is being brought her by Miss Lynde Fales of the Alaska Department of Health. The hall seats approximately 100 persons. The last foreign film shown had such a good turnout that a larger hall was needed. MRS. T.
