Capitol Theatre "Marx Brothers In New Comedy af ‘Capifol Theatre | “Love Happy,” the latest Marx Brothers laugh epic to hit the screen |opens at the Capitol Theatre to- | night. The picture is a treat for hard and true Marx fans and should | earn the comedians a new audience | inasmuch as the producer, Lester | Cowan, took his courage in his | hands, so to speak, and gave the | Marx boys a complete story thread | to handle, as well as three luscious blondes as co-stars. | In the past a Marx Brothers com- |edy has been simply a connected | series of uproarious gags. But * “Love | Happy” is something quite different. | In the guise, of a “private eye, "l | Groucho stalks through the plot giving a hilarious burlesque of a | modern Sherlock Holmes. Harpo, the mute, instead of chasing a 1scnred blonde and playing one solo on his harp, is given a nice, juicy | stant delight. | excrutiatingly funny piece of pan- tomimic “dialogue” with Harpo, the like of which has never before been seen on stage or screen. Besides Miss Massey who is al- ways a delight to the eye, in her amusing role as a voluptuous siren, there is dainty Vera-Ellen dancing an intriguing modern ballet num- | ber called “Sadie Thompson,” and attractive Marion Hutton, sister of the effervescent Betty, singing a couple of song numbers authored by role for a change and proves a ccn- | And droll Chico gives out with an | r ] 5 Communication The Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir. I enclose a clipping from your paper, dated Sept. 18 in which Act- ing Marshal Walter Hellan said he had ordered Max Rogers, Sitka Deputy, to Pelican to investigate a reported burglary after the Mayor had wired a request for such action. No such burglary has been re- ported to me and I have sent no such wire, but I have received a radiogram stating that the Marshal is coming. Since that time a Marshal has been here nearly three days, but he has not contacted me in any way, nor was the subject brought up at the council meeting held | while he was here. 1 believe that even a small town Mayor is within his rights if he requests others who use the title |during his term of office to add | their signature, especially in matters | where personal animosity is incur- red. | Respectufully, (signed) G. E. EDGECOMB | Ex officio Mayor of Pelican, Alaska Editor's note: Following is the |news item referred to by Mayor Edgecomb. Acting Marshal Walter Hellan, who also received a copy of the letter saild that the facts were correct, as reported by the Empire: BURGLARY REPORTED |IN PELICAN Acting Marshal Walter Hellan |said today that he had ordered Max Rogers Sitka deputy, to Pelican to investigate a reported burglary in | Ann Ronell. Alaska’s Health Issue Now Ready For Disfribution The October issue of Alaska’s Health, published bi-monthly by the Alaska Health Department, is now available at the Juneau Health Center, 122 Second Street.

Crevasse is Found The trail crew, backtracking Rose, found the crevasse he described. Crewmen said they fired guns and shouted in the ice crack which they said was several hundred feet deep. They received no reply. Since two feet of new snow cov- ered the area and the crevasse was | extremely dangerous no attempt was made to descend. However, the crewmen were certain that Ross was dead, the Elmendorf Air Force PIO said. Ross was the son of Mr. Mrs. J. G. Ross of Fairbanks. and The the mother is an employee of the Northern Commercial Company.
