FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1951 'DAVID CROCKETT' IS THRILLER NOW BILLED AT CAPITOL Creating new frontiers in the far west a century ago was adventurous and exciting, as well as a thorough- ly hazardous experience. It took men —and women—of courage and ldaring to attempt it. Many pic- ture producers have turned out films, such as “Cimmaron” and “Red River,” which have demon- strated the rugged determination of our forefathers to carve a new homeland out of the wilderness of the west. Now Edward Small comes forth with a film, “Davy Crockett—In- dian Scout,” which had its premiere | yesterday at the Capitol Theatre, +and co-starring George Montgom- ‘ery and Ellen Drew. As every stu- dent of American history knows, the real Davy Crockett was orig- inallyy a backwoodsman from Ten- | nessee who, when he wasn't serving in the legislature, was busy carving |out difficult frontiers in the west. He was also an expert on Indian matters. In his tense, thrill-packed pro- duction, “Davy TCrockett — Indian Scout,” Small tells us a story of !5till ancther wagon train of hope- (ful and courageous men, women 'and children just emerging on a i new frontier, but who are hindered by the awareness of the threat of ! hostile Indian tribes.

Morgan, President of the Columbia Lumber Co. of Ju- neau, has accepted appointment as Chairman of the Alaska Cancer Crusade. Morgan will head up a ‘Territorial-wide campaign for funds beginning in April, in which towns and villages, as well as navy and (military installations and govern- ment agencies throughout the Ter- ritory, will participate. This is ac- cording to announcement made to- day from the Territorial headquar- ters of the Alaska Division of the American Cancer Society, by Mild- {red R. Hermann, Commander of | the Alaska Division. “We are deeply appreciative of Mr. Morgan’s acceptance of this very important job,’ Mrs. Hermann stated. “His wide knowledge of the Territory and his intense and con- tinued inferest in the betterment of conditions in the community and the Territory, make him an ideal person to head this important work.” Mr. Morgan expressed satisfaction over the gask he has been delegated to do. “Cancer is the second greatest killer of mankind,” he said. “Its death toll annually is staggering Anything that we can do to strike back at cancer should be done will- ingly and eagerly.” Pointing out that April is Can- cer Control month by act of Con- gress and Presidential proclama- tion, Morgan explained that the Crusade would start in April and be completed in May in most of the larger communities. “We want people to give all they can to help with this program, but we are mindful there are other worthy agencies seeking funds throughout the year, so we are reluctant to establish a set goal for any com- munity,” Morgan said. Sixty per cent of all funds col- lecteq in the Cancer Crusade re- main in Alaska to be used for the benefit of Alaskans. Twenty-five per cent goes for research, and the other 15 per cent goes to the national headquarters to finance production of educational material on cancer for the general public.

THE STORY OF A PUP THAT GREW Lightning, a 129-pound crated friendly passenger, arrived here from Cordova yesterday via Pacific Northern Airlines enroute by Alaska Coastal Airlines to Ketchikan to Join his family. Lightning, is a husky-wolf mixture dog belonging to Bob Livingston with ACS, who was transferred from Cordova to Ketchikan, Last evening when the crate was parked for a short time in front of the PNA of- fice, it almos{ caused a traffic jam with kids inspecting the dog. It was in 1948 that Livingston, who was stationed at Anchorage then, took long walks into ‘the surrounding country and found a tiny, scrawny, pathetic pup in the woods. He took it home and fed it. It grew and grew and grew until feeding the dog became a budgetary problem. By that time Bob had grown so fond of Lightning that he became a member of the family.

Although the sequence, one of the many exteriors filmed on lo- cation at Lone Pine, Calif., was to have been completed in its entire- ty there, an unexpected seige of frigid weather brought out goose pimples and set teeth to chattering on the outdoor set. “People can't kiss when thei lips are blue with cold,” direclol‘ Henry Hathaway observed. While the embrace between the co-star: was filmed at Lone Pine, therefore the close-up of their ardor was de- layed until the company returned to a warm sound stage the studio.
