Popular Demand Brings
Repeal of Western Thriller
Due to so many requests for a
repeat on last night’s show,
“Ambush” starring Robert Taylor,
the management has announced
that the film will be sho*wn to
morrow evening.
Many patrons had to be turned
away Thursday evening, stated
manager Gordon Osborne and
that is why he is repeating the
show so soon.
The film is a pioneering picture
of the early American struggle
against the Apache Indians and
of historical interest of the period.

Possibility Of
I Hillercopter Service
Nick Hart, who represents the
Hillercopter Co., whose equipment
currently is hovering over Nome
and the Seward Peninsula on sur
vey missions for the Engineers,
answered questions for the Ro
tarians Thursday at their noon
luncheon. That is, he explained
the service this type of equip
ment might be expected to render
for prospectors, etc., in these ma
chines that sold, before the mili
tary took over all production, at
about $20,000. The Hiller company
is developing a smaller jet type
craft that will ultimately retail for
much less, he said.
