JACK FINA and HIS ORCHESTRA
"TOKYO JOE” IS
FEATURE COMING
CAPITOL THEATRE
Not since “'Casablanca,” with
which his new Columbia picture
must inevitably be compared, has
Humphrey Bogart had so timely and
so impassioned a role as that oi
“Tokyo Joe.” The film which starts
Sunday at the Capitol Theatre is a
trenchant, turbulent drama, rich in
human values and filled with the
physical violence which keeps audi
ences tense and expectant. In that
respect, and in the colorful, unex
pected background of post-war
Japan, “Tokyo Joe” easily is Bogart’s
greatest screen adventure.
The star portrays an embittered
Air Corps hero who returns to the
Japanese capital to resume opera
tion of his night club, believing that
his White Russian wife has died in
a concentration camp. He finds she
has divorced him to marry an
American attorney living in Tokyo;
they have a young daughter. He
finds, too, that she still recalls with
feeling their mutual memories of
days and nights together, when she
was the sultry-scented, slinky
gowned blonde torch singer sen
sation of his cafe.
Determined to take her away from
her husband, to return her to his
dream of their pre-war closeness,
“Tokyo Joe” becomes involved with
Japanese mobsters, engaged in
smuggling war criminals back into
Japan. This involvement comes
when he is blackmailed, with docu
ments proving his former wife had
broadcast treason to American
troops.
TODAY LAST SHOWING
OF JOHNNYHOLIDAY
The Kiwanis sponsored movie,
“Johnny Holiday” is playing now to
near capacity houses, Ted Hyder.
manager of the Capitol Theatre re
ports. “The show is being well re
ceived,” he said. Today is the last
time it will be shown. Today is
National Kids’ Day.
No check on ticket sales was av
ailable today but public response
has been good, Stanley D. Baskin,
president of the local Kiwanis Club,
indicated. The proceeds obtained
from the feature will go to the
Kiwanis fund for under privileged
children in the Gastineau Channel
area. Scout Mariners are also par
ticipating in the sales and will re
ceive a portion of the money for
their projects.
More than 3,150 Kiwanis Clubs
throughout the United States, Can
ada, Alaska and Hawaii are par
ticipating in the observance of this
day to focus attention on the ac
complishments of youth and needs
of untterprivileged children.
The show, “Johnny Holiday,’
starring William Bendix, Allen Mar
tin with Hoagy Carmichael, tells of
the reformation of a lad In a state
institution. The Cosmopolitan Mag
azine says, “The producer made
it with his heart.” Jimmie Fidler,
movie commentator says, “A five
j bell picture! I wish I could take
every man, woman and child by
the hand to see it.” It received
the medal of the month award from
Parent’s Magazine.

LATEST WORLD NEWS
"CHEAPER BY THE
DOZEN," FEATURE
AT 20TH CENTURY
C*lifton Webb, who is appearing as
the father of twelve children In the
film version of the human interest1
best-seller "Cheaper by the Dozen,"
at the 20th Century Theatre, states
he is glad to have a rest from Eel
vedere roles.
"People were beginning to take
Belvedere too seriously,” he claims.
"Mothers were using his name to
threaten naughty children. I’ve re
ceived hundreds of letters from
people who write that when their
children become difficult, all they
have to do is to say, ‘I'm going to
send for Mr. Belvedere.'
“The part of Dad in my first
Technicolor movie, ‘Cheaper by the
Dozen’ is a welcome change. Bel
vedere was human, but very acidu
lous and precise. Now I am a warm,
likeable person throughout the
story, though still definitely a char
acter."
Webb’s studio. Twentieth Century
Fox, however, feels quite differently
about Mr. Belvedere, and at the
moment has writers at work on
three new Belvedere scripts. And
even Webb is very pleased with his
next assignment, “Mr. Belvedere
Takes the Rap.” "It’s a fine story
he says. “I play the only holdout
on a jury who is eleven to one for
conviction. After the jurors are
discharged, I set out to prove I wa
right.
"But,” he adds, “after this film
I want to play a really despicablt
character, someone everybody wili
hate.”
That statement seems ironic in
view of the fact that Webb's nex
role might actully be a portrayal < •
himself in a movie based on hi
life.
