"RED STALLION IN
ROCKIES" iS BILL,
CAPITOL THEATRE
_
Photographed in breathtaking
Cinecolor against the splendrous
background of the Colorado Rockies,
Eagle Lion’s “Red Stallion in the
Rockies” opens at the Capitol
Theatre tonight.
Impressive with its many se
quences of visual magnificence “Red
Stallion in the Rockies” tells the
story of "Dynamite,” a circus horse
who goes "wild" and becomes the
•leader of a pack of outlaw horses
whom he captains in a series of des
tructive raids on surrounding ranch
es.
He is befriended and brought back
to civilization by a young girl who
is the granddaughter of one of the
ranchers. When an enraged elk at
tacks the girl’s grandmother, “Dyn
amite” leaps at him and there en
sues one of the most vicious animal
fights ever filmed. The fight to the
death is presented with thrills which
aggregate a high tribute to the mo
tion picture camera.
Jean Heather is cast as the
girl who befriends “Dynamite” and
offers a winning performance in the
role. Arthur Franz, directly from
his praise-winning role in the Broad
way hit, "Command Decision,” is
cast opposite her and proves to be
as excellent on the screen as he was
on the stage. *
EMPLOYMENT IN
JUMP UP AUGUST
TO RECORD MARK
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1——Em
ployment jumped 1,153,000 in August
to reach a new record high of 62,367,
000, Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
said today .
It was ”ne first time the 62,000,
000 mark had been crossed. The
August total for those with jobs
was 752,000 above the previous re
cord—61,615,000 in July, 1948.
Secretary Sawyer commented:
“The economy was gradually mov
ing toward ■ full employment before
the Korean crisis. With increasing
defense preparations, it may be ex
pected that this trend will contin
ue at an accelerated pace.”
Factory hiring was chiefly respon
sible for the upswing in jobs. This
sent the number of persons in non
farming work to an unprcedented
54,207,000 last month.
Unemployment, a bugaboo just
a year ago, dropped 713,000 last
month to 2,500,000, the lowest since
the start of 1949.

market.
The boats had been out 12 days,

once more depends on the weather.

SINCE AUG. 20 FIRE
MUST BE RETURNED
Marshal Hellan Says No
Prosecution If Prompt
Reports Made
Acting United States Marshal
Walter Hellan asks the cooperation
of youngsters and their parents to
wards recovery of articles taken
from the Cole Building since the
fire which swept through Packard's
Marina August 20.
“Boys and some adults carried
away articles that had been stored
in the building," Hellan said today.
"Of special importance are a
brass scale for weighing gold and
an old-fashioned china clock, both
keepsakes.”
Other articles taken are guns,
dishes, chinaware, goblets, silver
ware, bowls and miscellaneous ar
ticles.
"If prompt reports are made, the
owners of the missing articles will
not prosecute,” Hellan said.
"Parents who suspect that their
youngsters have been in the burned
building should make every effort
to have articles returned.
"A thorough investigation is un
der way, and some individuals are
under suspicion.”
Persons who may be able to give
information leading to recovery of
the articles are asked to report im
mediately to the office of the Uni
ted States Marshal, the City Police
or the Highway Patrol.
Some articles have been recovered
by the police, according to Hellan.

NOVEL SUSPENSE
FILM IS COMING
TO 20TH CENTURY
Suspense, taunt and terrific, will
grip the audience at the Gross 20th
Century Theatre tomorrow when
'The Bib Clock" makes it's screen
bow in Juneau. With stars Ray Mtll
and Charles Laughton combining to
thrill and menace in the season's
most unusual drama, "The Big
| Clock” ticks away breath-taking
[ entertainment.
The Paramount production boasts
| a new technique in the creation of
edge-of-the seat film fare. Unlike
the average mystery movie which
j calls for the audience to guess who
J dunnit, "The Big Clock” poses the
. exciting riddle of how an innocent
j man gets out of a net he tightens
around himself.
Milland is seen as George Stroud,
editor of “Crimeways" magazine,
whose genius for tracking down
j criminals puts him in the strange
i position of being hunter and hunted.
Ordered by his tyrannical boss, Earl
Panoth (Laughton), to find the man
sefcn leaving the apartment of Jan
oth's murdered girl friend shortly
( before her death. Stroud finds him- <
j self in the terrifying spot of seek
ing himself. Janoth, who committed
the murder, hopes to pin the crime
I on the man whose shadow he saw
leaving the girl's house as he enter -
! ed it: he doesn’t know the man is
