THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA (Thrilling Sea Saga \Opens Tenight at the 20th Century Theatre Surging from the pages of the celebrated C. S. Forester novel, FEATURES AI 8:06—10:15 | headliner, turns into a tough, rough | “Captain Horatio Hornblower” turns to the screen in Warner Bros. Tech- nicolor sea saga, beginning its local engagement at the 20th “Century Theatre this evening. And not as fictional as it might seem is the story of the *fabulous OCaptain, for it has often been bruited about that author Forester had in mind the life and derring-do of the intrepid English hero, Horatio, Lord Nelson, when he wrote this best- | seller novel. All the color of the times, the | English, Spanish and French men- of-war, the battles of their respec- | tive fleets, the intrigues and power diplomacy of the nations during the Napoleonic era are in this screen drama. Not least of all is the great love i story — the romance which takes | place between Captain Hornblower and Lady Barbara, sister of the Duke of Wellington, which in real life — now history — found its | counterpart in the Lord - Nelson- | Lady Hamilton idyll. Among some of the most exciting | of Hornblower's heroic exploits seen {are a raid on the stronghold of a Spanish pirate, the blockade and storming of Napoleon's navy, a dar- }mg escape under the shadow of the guillotine. and the commandeering |of a prison ship by a handful of men. Technicolor also does much to en- | hance the magnificence of the spec- tacle and causes the spectator to become part of the proceedings, ac- cording to advance reports.
