' Two Features at
Capitol Theatre
Opening Tonight
Universal - International's “Spy
Hunt," which opens today at the
Capitol Theatre, has a theme and
background as timely as its title,
what with the world being honey
combed by espionage and intrigue.
Howard Duff fits into the role of
the line American in the cosmopol
itan cast as naturally and effort
lessly ns he does into the casual
spores jackets he wectVs off the set
in Hollywood.
Lovely Marta Toren, the Swedish
importation, playing opposite Duff
for the second time in her three
year Hollywood career, is as per
fectly cast, in her role of continen
tal charmer living by her wits in the
British Intelligence Service.
The plot of "Spy Hunt” is laden
with suspense from the moment an
intelligence operative secretes a tiny
roll of microfilm "in a cigaret until
Miss Toren blinds another opera
tive with flashing gunpowder and
finds herself engaged to Duff.
Columbia’s “The Devil’s Hench
man,” starring Warner Baxter is
the second feature at the Capitol. It
is a tingling melodrama crackling
with suspense and set amid the
murky background of a murderous
waterfront locale. Baxter, unlike
the usual suave characterization of
the polished psychiatrist of his
"Crime Doctor” pictures, is cur
rently portraying a low nautical
tliaracler who scrounges for a living
by marine salvage.

Marten Senses
Destiny; Becomes
Escape Artist
If Urban C. Nelson, Pish and
Wildlife biologist, has been look
ing sleep-eyed lately, it is because
he has been up night with a mar
ten, which not only performed a
difficult escape act, but also robbed
the animal expert's store of Christ
mas apples.
Nelson has been receiving the
martens here from Petersburg and
helping transport them to Chichagof
Island as part of a program of
federal aid in wildlife restoration
which he Is directing in Alaska.
Whether the little animal sensed
his ultimate fate in becoming a
piece of sable around some woman’s
i neck, or whether he was disgusted
i at being removed from his home on
i the Stikine river, he nevertheless
performed what was considered an
impossible feat in chewing through
the heavy wire mesh of his cage
and escaping in Nelson's basement.
Nelson made many attempts to.
trap the marten—especially after
it was evident that it had taken
a fancy to the apples Nelson was
saving for Christmas. For two
nights, at the slighest sound, Nelson
would jump out of bed and rush to
the basement of his home to try to
re-catch the elusive escape artist.
Early Sunday morning, Nelson
heard sounds which seemed to in
dicate that more apples were dis
appearing, and was in the basement
with a whisk. It such a "whisk”
that it frightened the marten right
back into the cage from which it
had escaped. Nelson had, with pre
vious thoughtfulness, repaired the
cage. He flopped the opening closed
and Mr. Marten was again in • his;
prison—and furious about it, too
Nelson never discovered for cer
tain where the animal’s hide-out
was. He says he rushed the—well,
he didn’t say "marten”—out to
Chichagof as soon as he could. That
was Monday, and the spirit was not
yet broken. The marten had already
chewed another hole, but not one big
enough to escape through.
1951 Puget Sound
Salmon Pack Third
Highest Since 1933
SEATTLE, Nov. 28 — (A — The
state fisheries department reports
that Puget Sound's 1951 salmon pack
is the third highest since 1933.
Sockeye figures, although running
second to pinks in volume, carried i
special interest.
The sockeye pack was 119,864
cases this year. It compared with
only 7,692 cases in 1947, which was
the “parent year” for this year’s
run. The sockeyes run in four-year
cycles.
A fisheries department spokesman
said the 1947 catch was extremely
small because of a subnormal run
which led to imposing of tight fish
ing restrictions on sockeyes. The
aim was to rebuild the size of the
run.
The total pack for all species, J
through Nov. 17, was 662,473 cases.1
The chum species season was still
I open. The pack last year was 384,311
i cases.

Big Climax in
'The Gangster’
At 20th Century
Even the most nrdent reformer
would be satisfied with the manner
in which Barry Sullivan meets his
doom in "The Gangsters.” King
Bros.’ million-dollar Allied Artists
film of an anti-social hoodlum at
the 20th Century Theatre tonight
only, with Belita and Joan Lorring
in starring roles.
During the last hours of his film
life, Sullivan is drenched by literally
tons of water, repeatedly shot by
gangland bullets, and finally dies
like a drowned rat in the gutter.
The sequence which depicts Sulli
van headed for the end finds him
caught up by a windstorm at a
beach, where he had been the
leader for variety df rackets. Then
comes the rain.
Then comes a short respite, with
Sullivan back at his apartment try
ing to gather together whatever
belongings he can, still believing
that he can make his escape from
rival hoodlums. Needless to say,
he was thoroughly drenched again
before this scene, to simulate the
effect of the rainstorm through
which he had just come.
In the final scene, as Sullivan is
shot down, with rain pouring on his
hatless and coatless form, the tempo
of violence and doom is heightened
when 850 gallons of water are
poured onto the actor in virtually
one swoop. It hits him with a wal
lop and keeps coming as he lies
spread-eagled in the gutter.
