IS FURIOUS ONE COMEDY CLIMAX | AT 207H CENTURY One of the fastest, funniest and most furious chases ever devised for | a film comedy is used in the final| episode of Red Skelton’s laugh hit, | “Merton of the Movies,” which is| currently chasing the blues away | for audiences at the Gross 20th Cen- | tury Theatre. | The situation revolves about l,he’ attempt of a silent-movie star, Leon | Ames, and his cronies to put Skel- | ton out of the way because he has proved too successful an acting com- petitor. The chase takes place in a crowded movie theatre at which Skelton’s | comedy vehicle, “Soles on Fire,” is being shown. Pursued by Ames and | his satellites, Skelton runs wildly | through the aisles, crawls under-; neath the rows of seats, upsets the amazed spectators, flees into thel wings and finally meets up with, Ames on the theatre’s stage belora‘ his own image emoting on the screen. What happens then is a sur- | prise and we won't give the cllmnx‘l away. 102IN, OUT, BY | PAN AMERI(AN; Besides Seattle-Annette passen- | gers and others booked to White- ! horse and Fairbanks, Pan American World Airways brought 50 persons | to Juneau yesterday and carried 52 on outbound flights.
