“THE MAGNIFICENT YANKEE”
IS A MAGNIFICENT PICTURE!
Even more wonderful on the screen
than on the stage. Louella Parsons
calls it "The best drama of the
month ... a rare and satisfying
treat!” The story of a man who,
like "Mr. Chips,” gave a new
meaning to the word greatness!

Marx Brothers
In New Comedy at
Capitol Theatre
“Love Happy,” the latest Marx
Brothers laugh epic to hit the screen
opens at the Capitol Theatre to
night. The picture is a treat for
hard and true Marx fans and should
earn the comedians a new audience
inasmuch as the producer, Lester
Cowan, took his courage in his
hands, so to speak, and gave the
Marx boys a complete story thread
to handle, as well as three luscious
blondes as co-stars.
In the past a Marx Brothers com
edy has been simply a connected
series of uproarious gags. But “Love
Happy” is something quite different.
In the guise, of a “private eye,”
Groucho stalks through the plot
giving a hilarious burlesque of a j
modern Sherlock Holmes. Harpo,
the mute, instead of chasing a
j scared blonde and playing one solo!
on his harp, is given a nice, juicy
role for a change and proves a con
stant delight.
And droll Chico gives out wiih an
excrutiatingly funny piece of pan
tomimic “dialogue” with Harpo. the
like of which has never before been
seen on stage or screen.
j Besides Miss Massey who is al
j ways a delight to the eye, in her
; amusing role as a voluptuous siren,
there is dainty Vera-Ellen dancing
an intriguing modern ballet num
ber called “Sadie Thompson,” and
attractive Marion Hutton, sister of
the effervescent Betty, singing a
couple of song numbers authored by |
Ann Ronell.

Communication
The Daily Alaska Empire, Dear
Sir.
I enclose a clipping from your
paper, dated Sept. 18 in which Act
ing Marshal Walter Hellan said he
had ordered Max Rogers, Sitka
Deputy, to Pelican to investigate
a reported burglary after the Mayor
had wired a request for such action.
No such burglary has been re
ported to me and I have sent no
such wire, but I have received a
radiogram stating that the Marshal
is coming. ,
Since that time a Marshal has
been here nearly three days, but
he has not contacted me in any
way, nor was the subject brought
up at the council meeting held
while he was here.
I believe that even a small town
Mayor is within his rights if he
requests others who use the title
during his term of office to add
their signature, especially in matters
where personal animosity is incur
red.
Respectufully,
(signed) G. E. EDGECOMB
Ex officio Mayor of Pelican, Alaska
Editor’s note: Following is the
news item referred to by Mayoi
Edgecomb. Acting Marshal Walter
Hellan, who also received a copy
oi the letter said that the facte
were correct, as reported by the
Empire:
BURGLARY REPORTED
IN PELICAN
Acting Marshal Walter Hellar
said today that he had ordered Mai
Rogers Sitka deputy, to Pellcar
to investigate a reported burglary ir
that town.
Hellan said the Pelican mayoi
had wired Rogers of the alleged af
fair and Rogers requested permission
to make the investigation.

Search for
Lost Youth
Abandoned
Crevasse in Glacier
Where G. Ross Slipped
Found-Believed Dead
ANCHORAGE. Alaska, Sept. 28—
Hope was abandoned today for
a Fairbanks youth lost in an ice
crevasse on Bartlett Glacier and
the air force called searchers back
to their base.
The Elmendorf Air Force base
public information office said a
10th Rescue Squadron trail crew,
which has searched the glacier for
19-year-old Gerald D. Ross, reported
further search appeared hopeless.
The crew is returning to Elmendorf,
the PIO said.
A helicopter taking part in the
search crashed and burned in an
emergency landing yesterday.
The pilot, Knute Flint, was not
hurt.
Flint had. been flying over the
glacier with Bob Rose seeking a
trace of Ross who Rose said fell
into a crevasse on the ice pack while
on a hiking trip Sunday.
Copter Crashes, Burns
After dropping Rose, Flint headed
back to the base camp at Tunnel
but was forced by a low overcast
to attempt an emergency landing.
Loose, fresh snow covered the
ground and the helicopter rolled
over and caught fire as it landed.
Another ’copter pilot, Charles Mc
Kee, who also was taking part in
the search for Ross, picked up Flint
and returned him to the base camp.
Crevasse is Found
The trail crew, backtracking Rose,
found the crevasse he described.
Crewmen said they fired guns
and shouted in the ice crack which
they said was several hundred feet
deep. They received no reply.
Since two feet of new snow cov
ered the area and the crevasse was
extremely dangerous no attempt was
made to descend. However, the
crewmen were certain that Ross
was dead, the Elmendorf Air Force
PIO said.
j Ross was the son of Mr. and
! Mrs. J. G. Ross of Fairbanks. The
j father is a construction worker and
I the mother is an employee of the
Northern Commercial Company.
Parents Notified
Because of poor communications
in Alaska and the fact they live out
side of town, the parents were not
notified until yesterday that Gerald
had not returned from the glacier
expedition.
They kept a 12-hour vigil at the
Fairbanks. Alaska Communication
System office hoping for favorable
news, but returned to their home
before word was received that hope
had been abandoned.
When a friend broke the news,
the mother tried bravely to hide
her tears. The father said, “We’ve
tried to face it because we knew
you don’t live five days trapped in
a glacier crevasse."
