John Wayne Is Big Star on Screen at 'Capifel Thealre | John Wayne is Hollywood’s “man of the hour.” With his last four | pictures, “Fort Apache,” “Red Ri- ver,” “Wake of the Red Witch,” and “The Fighting Kentuckian,” mop- ping up at the box-offices of the | nation, he is in a position to write his own terms on all film deals — an enviable and unusual status in Hollywood today. | “The Fighting Kentuckian" which opened at the Capitol The- atre yesterday presents Wayne in dual capacity — as star and pro- | ducer. Wayne was born in Winterset Towa, the son ef a drug store pro- prietor who joined other Iowans in the trek to California when John was but five years old. Christened ion Michael Morrison, the name was quickly shortened to “Duke,” and as “Duke” he went through childhood and a college career at | the University of Southern Cali- fornia. Like many another star athlete, Wayne sought rugged summer vaca- tion jobs to keep him in trim for the football season, and he landed |a job carrying heavy props on one !of the motion picture studio sets. | There he was discovered by Raoul | Walsh and zoomed to stardom ir f Hns very first picture, “The Big | Trail.” A year or so ago, Republic agreed ito give Wayne free-hand in pro- ducing his own picture, and the result was satisfactory. Rammed fhip Sinks in North Sea; (rew Safe BREMERHAVEN, Germany, Nov. |5 — (M — The $4,000,000 motorship {Maipu — pride of Argentina’s mer- chant fleet — was rammed by a U.S. troopship and sank in the foggy North Sea yesterday. The trans- port and German rescue craft saved all 238 persons aboard the Argen- tine vessel. The troopship, the Gen. M. L Hershey — her bow stove in by the collision limped into Bremer- haven last night with many Maipu survivors aboard. A special train was chartered to take them to Ham- yurg, the Maipu's port of call. The Maipu’s captain, Juan Mar- quez, picked up by German light- ' ship Weser after the crash, said in a ship-to-shore radio interview that his 80 passengers and 158 crewmen kept calm through the ordeal. “They left the ship quietly,” he d. - “There were no incidents.” The fact that the usually rough | North Sea was calm under its fog | blanket was said to have played | o large part in the 100 percent suc- | cessful rescue. The 12,000-ton Maipu and the 10,000-ton transport, groping| through early morning fog, collided 15 miles offshore, near the German island of Waneroog. The crash tore a big hole in the Maipu’s port | side. Witnesses said the Argentine vessel began to list immediately, but stayed afloat for three hours — another big factor in the suc- cessful rescue. Passengers aboard the stricken vessel included 38 women and eight children. The Hershey immediately began searching through the mists for lifeboats with survivors. Soon af- terward the Weser and smaller Ger- | man craft joined in. * The last lifeboat with 15 aboard was not spotted until after the Maipu had gone down. Officers aboard the Hersey, carry- ing U.S. 43rd Division troops to Germany, refused to discuss the collision.

Picture Rex Harrison as a suave, dashing orchestra conduc- tor married to svelte, beautiful Linda Darnell and imagining that all is not well with their romantic relationship. Picture a series of sequences in which Rex imagines himself proving her infidelity. Pic- ture a series of scenes in which comedy, slapstick, romance, music and suspense are blended together against a modern sophisticated set- ting_while the principals work out their hildrious contretemps. That's “Unfaithfully Yours” — as deft a bit of ‘motion picture hilarity as you'll see this year.
