Red Skelton in
Sunday Feature,
Capitol Theatre
With Red Skelton cast as the in
ventor of a horseless carriage in the
innocent era of 1895. MGM has turn
ed out another captivating turn-of
the-century Technicolor musical in
•'Excuse My Dust," which brings
a carload of laughs and a flock of
new song hits to the Capitol screen.
Skelton has one of the most in
gratiating roles of his long laugh
career as the small-town boy with
big-time ideas of the future of the
“gasmobile.” Not even the deter
mined opposition of his fiancee's
father, owner of the town’s liv
ery stable, can deter him and, after
a series of rib-tickling trials and
tribulations in which he almost
burns down his barn in his experi
ments with the gasmobile and faces,
the loss of his sweetheart to the son
of the local banker, he gloriously
vindicates himself by nosing out his
rival in a race for a $5,000 purse—a
race which for suspense .ingenious
accidents, horseplay and howling sit
uations has never been equalled on
the screen.
As in their previous successful
turn-of-the-century musical, “Two
Weeks With Love,” Director Roy
Rowland and Producer Jack Cum
mings have infused their story with
appropriate song and dance inter
ludes, but while the former picture
confined itself to music ef an older
day, “Excuse My Dust” boasts a
score of new songs by the noted
song-writing team of Dorothy Fields
and Arthur Schwartz, and you will
soon be hearing, humming and whis
tling such attractive numbers as
"Spring Has Sprung,” "Lorelei
Brown," “Goin’ Steady,” ‘I’d Love
to Take You Out Dreaming,” “That’s
For Children” and the rowdy and
amusing “Get a Horse.”

Link Between Alaska
Gold, Chicago laid in
NU Protester's Book
How three Chicago school build
ings and a hospital came into be
ing because of an Alaskan gold
mine are told in a new book by
Dr. Leland H. Carlson, professor
of history at Northwestern Uni
versity, Evanston, Illinois.
“An Alaskan Gold Mine, The
Story of No. 9 Above,” just pub
lished by the Northwestern Uni
versity Press, gives the dramatic
details of gold mining profits which
made possible the erection of the
Swedish Covenant hospital and
three buildings of North Park Col
lege in Chicago.
Not a novel, the book is a study
of the great stampede to Nome and
the Seward Peninsula in 1898-1901.
It is also a narrative of the dis
coveries of gold by Scandinavians
on the richest stream near Nome—
Anvil Creek—and of one very rich
mine, No. 9 Above Discovery.
The mine got its name from the
custom of numbering the claims
staked either upstream or down
stream from the point where gold
was first found.
story uatnereu
The story, gathered from rare
manuscript and legal sources, re
counts the four trips of exploration
and discovery, the staking and re
cording of claims, and the strug
gles of Eskimos, missionaries and
claim jumpers for ownership, as
well as developments during the
period from 1898-1902.
One of the greatest legal swin
dles ever atempted in history in
volved No. 9 Above, and formed I
the basis of a novel by Rex Beach
called "The Spoilers, later made
into a motion picture.
The book’s five parts include des
criptions of the Eskimo lawsuit,
arbitration commission hearings in
Chicago and the tracing of the
legal history of the case.
National Legal Battle
The legal battle for ownership
of No. 9 Above became nationally
famous. The issues were argued
before 11 different courts, includ
ing the United States Supreme
court, to which appeal was made
on four occasions. Twenty judges
and 24 lawyers became deeply in
volved In the complicated legal ar
guments which were continued
over a period of 16 years.
In preparation for the writing
of the book, Dr. Carlson spent five
years of steady research. He vis
ited Alaska three times, worked
through the records of the Alaska
Territorial Library and Museum,
and followed the complex litigation
by investigating the records in
the offices of the clerks of the
courts in Chicago and Springfield,
111.; In Abilene and Topeka, Kan.;
in St. Louis, Mo.; in San Francis
co, Calif.; in Juneau, Alaska; in
the Library of Congress; in the
Supreme Court library, and in the
Department of Justice records in
the National Archives at Washing
ton, D. C.
Dr. Carlson was fortunate In lo
cating several "sourdoughs” who
participated in the gold rushes of
1897-1900, from whom he secured
valuable information. He had in
terviews with two men who worked
on No. 8 Above in 1900, and with
two lawyers who participated in
the long legal battle, all of whom
added important details. The re
sult Is a careful, detailed, exhaus
tive, and objective study of a sub
ject which evoked strong feelings
40 years ago.
The book contains a bibliog
raphy, an index, and nine full
page illustrations, including two
maps.

Romantic Story
With Musk
At 20th Century
A romantic love story and music
of Irresistible appeal have been
blended into Paramount's "Song Of
Surrender,” a tenderly beautiful
film which opens at the 20th Cen
tury Theatre.
Lovely Wanda Hendrix has her
biggest starring role to date as Abby
Hunt, a girl of nineteen married to
a man past fifty. Claude Rains co
stars as her husband, a man who
judges his wife’s devotion by the
amount of work she does on the
farm. Abby never questions whether
hers is a happy marriage until the
day young and handsome Bruce Eld
ridge comes upon the scene' to re
mind her of the years she is wast
ing. MacDonald Carey completes the
star roster with his assignment as
Abby’s ardent suitor who offers her
the love she has always wanted.
This dramatic triangle Is set In
New England shortly after the turn
of the century. The story, told with
the delicate grace of its picturesque
setting, builds in intensity to a pow
erfully stirring conclusion.
A thrilling background of operatic,
semi-classical and popular melodies
accompanies the dramatic develop
ments of the plot.
