Sunday and Monday
In “The Knights of the Round
Table,” starring Robert Taylor,
Ava Gardner and Mel Ferrer,
M-G-M has chosen a narrative of
romance, heroism* magnificent
spectacle and • panoramic splendor
for its interesting offering in the
screen’s new Cinemascope medi
um.
Enhanced by the realism and
striking effects of stereophonic
sound, the story of King Arthur
and the gallant knights who aid
him in freeing England from the
feudal lords of the 6th century,
emerges on the screen as a drama
of fiery action and impassioned
love. It fulfills in every detail the
promise of Cinemascope’s miracles
in the scope and color of its eye
filling battle scenes with the clash
of armored men in action mingled
with the sounds of trumpets,
drums and bagpipes; in the pagean
try and panoply of the Court of
Camelot; in the expansive settings
of the middle ages peopled by
thousands of extras.
“Knights of the Round Table”
called for 25,000 props and 6,000
costumes. It was directed by Rich
ard Thorpe, produced by Pandro
S. Bergman.
Tuesday and Wednesday
A picture that has received na
tional attention from the moment
it went into production will be the
next hit attraction at the local
theatre.
It is the Walter Wagner produc
tion for Allied Artist, “Riot in Cell
Block 11,” which was filmed al
most in entirety within the walls
and cell blocks of one of the larg
est penal institutions in the West,
Folsom State Prison, near Sacra
mento, California.
The picture shows in dramatic
detail the life of inmates in the
United States penal institution of
today, where overcrowding has im
posed a problem affecting every
citizen.
The riot scenes are particularly
spectacular and exciting.
Thursday and Friday
Mickey Rooney, the personifica
tion of the movies’ cocky little guy,
has done an about-face for the pic
ture, "Drive a Crooked Road,”
which is the offering for Thursday
and Friday.
In the new Columbia drama that
co-stars Dianne Foster, a great and
new Mickey Rooney is on display
in a surprising dramatic role. In
an ingenius piece of off-beat cast
ing, Mickey is seen as a lonely
auto mechanic with a mad passion
for fast-racing cars. Throw in a
bank robbery, a beautiful charmer
and a crook, and you have a movie
with drama and action to hold
your interest.
The Grandmothers’ Club will
meet at the home of Mrs. Ruth
Carlson on Wednesday of next
week. The meeting will begin at
8 p. m.
Kodiak B.P.W. Urges “Equal Rights”
Incorporated in Alaskan Constitution
a uanimous vote, a repre
sentative group of Kodiak Business
and Professional Women’s Club in
regular session is sending a reso
lution to the Constitutional Con
vention requesting that an article
of Equal Rights be incorporated
in the Alaskan Constitution.
On January 5, 1955, the opening
day of the 84th Congress, Repre
sentative Catherine St. George in
troduced House Joint Resolution
No. 82, Womens’ Equal Rights
Amendment to our National Con
stitution. On February 8, 1955,
Senate Joint Resolution 39 was in
troduced by Senator Butler of
Maryland. These are resolutions or
iginally presented in 1937 for an
amendment granting equal rights
to women which the B. P. W.,
throughout the intervening years,
has supported with vigor. This
year the House resolution had 199
sponsors and the Senate Resolu
tion had 27. These resolutions have
gained widespread support from a
great many of the law-makers, na
tion-wide.
“Can Alaska, the 49th State in
the National Federation of B.P.W.
clubs, do any less than follow the
national upswing of approval on
equal rights?” is the question ask
ed by local members of B. P. W.
Nationally, there are approximate
ly 165,000 members of the B.P.W.
and at least 99% of the members
vote, according to the club records.
Equal Rights will be a part of
our Alaskan Constitution even be
fore it is a part of the National.
“Can Kodiak B.P.W. do other
than encourage the support of
such an amendment to the Alaskan
Constitution?” asks Mrs. Dorothy
Clark, president of the B.P.W.
“Alaska, too, may thus have the
benefits derived from having the
undivided aid of all citizens, both
men and women, in the struggle to
build a governmental structure so
strong for the future State of Alas
ka that may be the criteria of
all State governmens.”
“Locally, great help to the City
of Kodiak may be evidenced by the
added interest of those women who
feel that they would then be an in
tegral part of each phase of City
Government and community af
fairs. It is often a woman’s insight
that may see the flaw in a sup
posedly perfect plan and by her
‘Woman’s Reasoning’ be able to
come up with the answer needed.”
“At least, Kodiak women of the
B.P.W. are willing, ready and able
to stand their share of the grow
ing pains of this embryo city be
cause we wish to build pride in
Kodiak,” Mrs. Clark concluded.
