SPORTS PICTURE
SHOWS AT CAPITOL
LAST TIMES TONIGHT
Ring Lardner’s “Champion” will
have its last showings at the Capi
tol Theatre tonight.
The unforgettable role of "Midge”
Kelly, a sadistic and unprincipled
prize fighter is played by Kirk
Douglas. In his role of champion,
Douglas reaches the top of the
screen ladder.
It was a ladder that Douglas
worked hard to climb, however.
Acting was always Kirk Douglas’
dream of a career, although it played
second fiddle to his sports career
while in high school and college.
At St. Lawrence University he was
state collegiate champion in his
favorite sport of wrestling.
His acting was learned the hard
way by attendance at the American
Academy of Dramatic Arts, his tui
tion earned by bell-hopping and as
a waiter in various Schrafft’s res
taurants in New York.
In "Champion,” Douglas plays the
role of a ruthless fighter who de
stroys everyone who stands in his
way as he climbs to the top of the
fight game. It is not a pleasant
role, but it is dramatic.
Co-starring with Douglas are
Marilyn Maxwell and Arthur Ken
nedy. Featured roles are played by
Ruth Roman, Lola Albright and
Paul Stewart.
Coming to the Capitol Wednesday
for one night only will be a double
bill, "Home in San Antone,” and
"The Crime Doctor’s Diary,” with
Warner Baxter.
WSCS MEETS TO SEW
The WSCS of the Methodist
Church will have an all day sewing
circle Wednesday at the home of
Mrs. H. Schultz, 606 W 10‘h Street.
Sewing begins at 11 o’clock with
lunch to be served at 12:30.

GOOD
JOE
DR. ALBRECHT
TALKS ON POLIO,
P.-T.A^MEETING
In an effort, as he put it. to
I allay fears and give information foi
| a fuller knowledge about poliomyel
itis to strengthen the fight against
the disease, Dr. C. Earl Albrecht,
Commissioner of the Alaska De
partment of Health talked before r
crowd which filled the study room
i of the high school to standing
room only, at the meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association last
night.
Informative Talk
The Health Commissioner gave :
clear and concise talk on the symp
toms, treatment and the cause am.
effect of polio which has reached
epidemic proportions in Alaska slnct
Auguist 25. He particularly stressec
the importance of individuals ccn
tinulng in their normal pattern oi
community life. He said that child
ren should be kept within their re
gular circle of contac's. The Health
Department, the Commissioner said
does not require that schools or
other public places be closed dur
ing an epidemic, it having been
| proved that usual contacts and
t routine community life Is preferable
to the possibility that outside con
tacts may be made when normal
living Is disrupted.
Final decision on such action is
left to the city health officials.
Poliomyelitis, Dr. Albrecht point
ed out is caused by an invisible
virus which attacks the motor nerv.
cells that control muscle action. It
probably enters through the mouth
or nose and exists in the digestive
tract of human beings. It is spead
by carriers of the virus whom
there is no practicable way of iden
tifying and is transmitted by con
tact between a susceptible person
and someone harboring the virus,
| a carrier or others who have con
' tacted the disease. The period of
| incubation is from seven to 14 days.
While there is no known cure ol
polio Dr. Albrecht told of the excel
lent results that have been realized
from symptomatic treatment of the
disease.
Be Alert
“As a result of the epllemic
which has struck Alaska, let us be
a little more health conscious and
alert,” Dr. Albrecht declared. He
pointed out that tlure are othei
diseases such as rheumatic fever,
which have disastrous effects cn
the human body. He said we should
keep alert to prevent such diseases
by proper observation of health
rules for daily living and by tak
ing precautionary measures for the
prevention of disease.
Immediate Aid
In stressing the advisability of
organizing an Alaska chapter of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis Dr. Albrecht told of the
immediate response by the Founda
tion to a call for help from Al
aska. More respirators were immed
iately sent than were actually need
ed he said. Nurses trained in the
care of poliomyelitis were sent at
once to instruct Alaskan nurses,
and other help given to assist in
Alaska’s fight against the disease.
Dr. Albrecht’s talk was preceded
by a showing of the film “Report
to the People." a plctoral story of
the early widespread epidemics of
polio and the organiation of the
National Foundation. The film was
from the library of the Health De
partment.
Before the discussion by the
Health Commissioner and the film
showing, the audience was treated
to the enjoyment of hearing Har
ol Salisbury, basso, who sang a
group of three songs. He was ac
companied on the piano by Mrs.
Ruth Popejoy.
P.-T.A. Fund Grows
At the short business meeting
of the P.-T. Association before the
program, President Florence Oakes
announced that the P.-T.A. Schol
arship fund is now $1,030.72. Of
this amount $400 has been contrib
uted to the Scholarship Memorial
Funds.
The Associa'fon approved the
plan by the Executive Board to
purchase six pictures, copies of
masters, to be given as school
room awards in a Parent-Teacher
meeting attendance contest.
At the close of the meeting re
freshments were served by mothers
of First Grade students. Mrs. Robert

20TH CENTURY OPENS
'UNFINISHED DANCE/
TECHNICOLOR TONITE
The second of the series of four
grand entertainments within a week
will open tonight at the Gross 20th
Century Theatre. It is the M-G-M
Technicolor triumph, ‘‘The Unfin
ished Dance,” a dramatic story of
backstage life in the ballet. Every
great ballet theatre in the world is
said to be eclipsed by M-G-M's pre
sentation of a ballet for David
Rose’s "Holiday for Strings," fea
tured as one of the highlights of
"The Unfinished Dance."
A total of 200 dancers were on
stage for the number, which was
filmed under the direction of David
Llchine, internationally-known dan
cer and choreographer. This in
cluded 100 child ballerinas, under
the age of twelve, and another 100
adult dancers, led by Cyd Charisse,
who recently scored a dancing hit
in "Fiesta."
It has been pointed out that
neither the Metropolitan Opera
House nor the Russian Ballet The
atre in Moscow have facilities for
presenting such a huge ballet—and
they are the greatest ballet theatres I
in the world.
More than a month of rehearsals ,
were necessary for the "Holiday for
Strings" spectacle, and it required,
53 hours hours of shooting time to '
put the number on film.
Also presented in the picture, is]
the “Swan Lake," one of the world’s
most bautiful ballets.
