in a hard-hitting dramatic role, fol
lowing his recent light comedy roles
in "Mother Is a Freshman," and “In

Johnson's aid in tracking down sus
pects in a criminal hunt.
Featured in a large supporting cast
are Leon Ames. John Mclntire,
Donald Woods, Norman Lloyd,
Jerome Cowan and Tom Powers.
Filmed from a screen play by
Charles Schnee, "Scene of the

centering about a young detective
who pits his brain and brawn
against a gang of hoodlums to solve
one of the most baffling murders in
a big city’s police history.

COMEDY CLIMAX
IS FURIOUS ONE
AT 20TH CENTURY
_
One of the fastest, funniest and
most furious chases fcver devised for 1
a film comedy is used in the final;
episode of Red Skelton’s laugh hit,
"Merton of the Movies,” which is j
currently chasing the blues away i
for audiences at the Gross 20th Cen- '
tury Theatre.
The situation revolves about the |
attempt of a silent-movie star. Leon
Ames, and his cronies to put Skel- !
ton out of the way because he has
proved too successful an acting com
petitor.
The chase takes place in a crowded
movie theatre at which Skelton’s
comedy vehicle, "Soles on Fire,” is
being shown. Pursued by Ames and
his satellites, Skelton runs wildly j
through the aisles, crawls under- j
neath the rows of seats, upsets the j
amazed spectators, flees into the j
wings and finally meets up with j
Ames on the theatre’s stage before i
his own image emoting on the
screen. What happens then is a sur
prise and we won’t give the climax j
away.

FISHING, NOT
FIDDLING, SAY
GUESTS OF SELBYS
On a fishing trip instead of a
concert tour, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Berge, better known as musicians
than fishermen, arc in Juneau vis
iting Mrs. Berge’s brother-in-law
and sister, Mr. and Mi's. Tom Selby
at their home at Tee Harbor.
Mrs. Berge was in Juneau 19
years ago as a guest of her sister.
A concert pianist, harpist and or
ganist, she was the artist at a
concert In the Northern Light Pres
byterian Church.
No concert is in view at present,
the visitors say, though Mr. Berge
is concert master of the famous
Duluth Symphony Orchestra, gives
frequent violin concerts with his
wife as his accompanist and is in
the music department of the Du
luth Public Schools.
Fishing, though constant shfee
the Berges arrived two weeks ago
has netted them only halibut. As,
guests on the Qurluck Sunday, Mr.
Berge was the only fisherman ab
oard who did not catch a salmon.
‘We will stay until I catch a
salmon,” the musician said, "if it
can be done before the end of the
month.” Mr. Berge is scheduled
back In Duluth for the beginning
of the school term—and of the
concert season.
New director of the Duluth Sym- i
phony this year will be Herman j
Herz, of Johannesberg, South Af- i
rica, a protoge of the Boston Sym- j
phony’s Koussevitzki. Mr. Berge
has been with the Duluth orches
tra since 1942 with time out for
World War II.
With the Berges on their Alaska
trip Is their young son, Sonny.
A concert in Juneau? ‘‘No, we
are fishing, not fiddling this trip,”
is the only answer the Berges will
give.
