Comedy Hi-Jinks
Opening Sunday at
Capitol Theatre
Fred Astaire is dancing (on the
ceiling!), Jane Powell is singing a
royal parade of new song hits, Peter
Lawford, Sarah Churchill (actress
daughter of the famous Winston)
and Keenan Wynn are respectively
involved in the romantic and
comedy hi-jinks. That’s the good
news of M-G-M’s latest Technicolor
musical, "Royal Wedding,” which
brings king-sized entertainment to
the Capitol Theatre tomorrow.
There Is me*ody and merriment
in every sequence of this smartly
designed offering, which unfolds a
captivating story of a brother-and
tister dance team who, after scoring
on the Broadway stage, are asked
to repeat their triumphs during the
celebration of a royal wedding in
London.
Ellen (Jane Powell), distaff mem
ber of the team, becomes involved
in a shipboard romance with the
jaunty Lord Brindale (Peter Law
ford). Tom (Fred Astaire) meets
his romantic Waterloo once they
reach England, in the person of the
London dancer, Anne Ashmond
(Sarah Churchill).
Every musical-comedy plot has to
have a problem, and in this instance,
the problem is whether Tom and
Ellen should resist their romantic
inclinations in order to prevent the
dancing team from breaking up.
The conflict reaches its climax
amid London's colorful royal wed
ding celebration, and you will have
to see "Royal Wedding” to find out
whether Tom and Ellen resist or
not.
Writer Takes Trip
Down Yukon, Tanana
Rivers by Canoe
Down the long reaches of the
Tanana and Yukon rivers to the
Bering Sea and then to St. Mich
ael 60 miles from the mouth of
the Yukon River was the canoe trip
taken by John R. Edwards during
the summer.
He left Fairbanks June 7 in a 13
foot aluminum canoe on his 11
weeks trip that took him an es
timated 1,100 miles. He kept a pho
tographic and diary record of his
trip and hopes to write a book about
his trip.
At the village of Paimiute, about
800 miles from his jumping off
place, he said that waves nearly
swamped his canoe. It was there
that he traded his original boat
for an 18 foot riverboat with a onc
horsepower outboard. After leaving
the village, river banks got so high
and muddy in spots that he had
to live aboard his canoe for several
days at a time. Edwards took wil
lows and a piece of canvas to make
a house boat out of his boat.
To break the loneliness of his
trip, he would spend two or three
days in villages along the river
banks. Somewhere along the trip
he picked up a Husky pup and
trained him to carry a pack.
At the village of Marshall on the
Yukon, Edwards met the Alaska
Department of Health floating clin
ic, the Yukon Health. He spent sev
eral days with the crew aboard the
clinic.
Gets Wind Trouble
About a week before he got into
St. Michael, an off-shore wind gave
him trouble. The wind kicked up
waves that kept shorting out the
sparkplug on his outboard motor,
he said. With his motor not working,
Edwards said he would have drifted
out into the Bering Sea if it had
not been for Alec Andrews, an Es
kimo from Pastolik.
Andrews towed Edwards into a
slough. The reason for Andrews
boat being able to navigate in the
wind and waves was that the Es
kimo’s boat had an enclosed motor.
A couple of days later Edwards
started through the slough for St.
Michael.
He then ran into a dead end
arm of the slough. After the fog
lifted, he saw the village of Stebbens
a short distance away. He hiked
to the village where someone drew
a map of the channel for him to
St. Michael. When he arrived there,
he set up living quarters in the
old jail as he said there were no
hotels.
Has Goose Dinner
While waiting for the mail plane
to come into St. Michael, he was
invited to a goose dinner in an
Eskimo’s home. That was when he
lost his appetite momentarily, he
said. The pot of goose stew was
placed on the table and he dipped
into it with his fork.
The first thing he speared was
the head and neck of the goose.
That wasn’t so good, he said. He
dropped it back into the pot and
tried again. This time he got the
breast but it had the lungs at
tached. This was also dropped back.
The third trip into the pot netted
him a leg. After a few weak at
tempts at eating it, he excused him
self and prepared his own supper
When the mail plane came, Ed
wards flew to Nome, Unalakleel
and into Fairbanks. There he met
Charles Ott, free-lance photographej
on a tour of Alaska. The two ol
them drove over the highway tc
Haines in Ott’s car. Edwards came
on into Juneau to look into possi
bilities of homesteading in the
Haines area.
He found that he has to go U

By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, Oct. 13—!*>—'Texas
, not only hopes to whip Oklahoma’s
football team In one of today’s
better games but also has hopes of
licking its Cotton Bowl jinx.
A year ago Texas’ only defeat was
by Oklahoma, 14 to 13, in the Cot
ton Bowl. Then came Jan. 1 and
the big Dallas Bowl again worked
its jinx: Tennessee 20, Texas 14.
Will the jinx hold again? Texas
has yielded only four touchdowns
while piling up 10 in scoring three
triumphs. Oklahoma is hampered
by injuries.
A lot of other football questions
will be up for quick answers today.
The big ones are: how good are Holy
Cross, Georgia Tech, Maryland,
Louisiana State, Notre Dame, South
ern California and Princeton.
Of those seven, all have done
better so far this season than was
expected of them, except Maryland,
j And Maryland, rated one of the
nation’s best in August, is making
' the forecast stand up.
Tonight the Marylanders are the
guests of a Georgia team that
romped to two easy victories before
being stopped by Mississippi State.
Georgia Tech and Louisiana State
meet in Atlanta, going into the
battle with three victories each.
Notre Dame always had trouble
with Southern Methodist. This time
the Mustangs face the youngest
• Irish team Frank Leahy ever has
coached. But the teen-agers already
have crushed Indiana and Detroit.
Southern Cal already has beaten
Washington and Washington State
and now must oppose Oregon State.
The Princeton Tigers so far have
stormed through New York U. and
Navy. Today’s test is Pennsylvania.
Michigan State, No. 1 in the
Associated Press top ten poll for
the past two weeks, has it relatively
easy with Marquette as its opponent.
Ohio State, No. 9, visits Wisconsin.
Tennessee, the No. 3 team, has a
breather in Chattanooga.
Holy Cross takes its aerial circus
to the New Orleans Sugar Bowl
against Tulane.

For Washington
Vs. Oregon
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 13—OPI—
The University of Washington and
University of Oregon, rivals of long
standing, will meet on the rain
soaked Multnomah Stadium field to
day in a Pacific Coast conference
football game.
Washington is highly favored to
win, but Coach Howie Odell was
not too confident. "You never
know when a team, even one with
a lot of freshmen, will get hot,” he
said. Then he added, “but we’re
ready.”
California
After Fourth Win
In Game with WSC
PULLMAN, Wash., Oct. 13——
California, the favorite by three
touchdowns, goes after its fourth
victory today against Washington
State.
It will be the first Pacific Coast
conference game for the nation’s
No. 2 team, which has rolled up
three resounding non-league wins.
The WSC Cougars, who have
marked up two wins against one
loss, have been working on defense
all week trying to cut down weak
nesses which have given their op
ponents an average of three touch
downs per game.

'Whiplash' Has
Four Stars, Sunday
At 20th Century
A happy-go-lucky young man,
and his love for a beautiful woman
provide the running drama of War
ner Bros.’ film, "Whiplash,” starring
Dane Clark, Alexis Smith, Zachary
Scott and Eve Arden, which pre
mieres Sunday at the 20th Cen
tury Theatre.
Lew Seiler directed* this briskly
paced drama of raw emotions which
unfolds for the most part against
the Monterey coastline, then to New
York where Clark becomes involved
in gunplay and a sinister gang of
mobsters. Miss Smith plays the
night club singer who falls in love
with Clark.
Clark’s romance for Miss Smith
in the film provides for motivation
of the story. The ‘heavy’ interest
is supplied by Scott who dominates
Miss Smith and certain segments of
the sports world. Miss Arden,
fourth member of the starring quar
tet, essays the role of a wise
cracking friend to Clark, adding
comedy bits to the proceedings.
Jeffrey Lynn, S. Z. Sakall, Alan
Hale. Douglas Kennedy and fighter
Fred Steele are promineht in the
supporting cast.
DiMaggio Is
To Quit BB
NEW YORK. Oct. 13—(if)—The
question of whether Joe DiMaggio,
whose spectacular career with the
New York Yankees began 15 years
ago, is going to retire, apparently
was settled today—the clipper has
made up his mind to quit.
He declined to come right out and
say he was finished, but he made
it plain before heading for Cali
fornia by plane last night that he
was delaying the inevitable only in
deference to the wishes of Yank
President Dan Topping, with whom
he talked for two hours yesterday.
“I have made up my mind to re
tire and that is my present inten
tion,” said the great outfielder. “I
have given it considerable thought.”
When DiMaggio entered Top
ping’s office for the confab, he was
ready to lay his cards on the table.
Topping listened to the slugger and
Instead of just saying: "OK, Joe,
it’s up to you,” asked him to delay
the decision for a time.
That the Yanks and players
i themselves want DiMaggio back
there is no doubt. He has been an
inspiration to them throughout the
years, and many are the rookies
who merely have tried to look like
him. As Manager Casey Stengel
remarked after the Yanks won the
World Series from the .New York
Giants:
"We couldn’t have won without
you, Joe!"
