RING IARDNER
CLASSIC COMES
?0 CAPITOL
For more than thirty years Ring
Lardner’s short story. “Champion,”
has remained a challenge to the
screen. It has been numbered among
the classics labeled "too difficult
to handle.” Only recently Stanley
Kramer, head of Screen Plays, Inc.,
decided to take his courage in his
hands and transfer this remarkably
tough, vital story to the screen, with
Kirk Douglas in the title role, Arthur
Kennedy in the role of his crippled
brother, Connie, and Marilyn Max
well, Ruth Roman and Lola All
bright as the three women in his
life. United Artists is releasing the
film which opens Sunday at the
Capitol Theatre.
Tensely emotional and cruelly
realistic, “Champion” tells the story
of Midge Kelly, handsome and
ruthless, a king among fighters and
a wrecker of other peoples' lives, in
his unrelenting drive to the top.
The three women in his life, the
men who pluck him virtually from
the gutter and raise him to fame
and fortune, are left forever with
the sordid bruises caused by con
tact with this idol of an adoring
public.
Carl Foreman wrote the screen
play for “Champion,” with Mark
Robson directing. Robert Stillman
served as associate producer. Ivan
Volkman as assistant director.
The three beautiful female leads
wore clothes designed by Adele Par
menter, one of Hollywood’s top
fashion designers.
As for the completely realistic
fight sequences, former welterweight
champ Mushy Callaghan was
brought in by Producer Kramer to
see that all details were carefully
worked out befoe screening took
place. He also trained star Kirk
Douglas.
BERLIN — Soviet-ruled Germany
holds its first big election tomorrow,
but there’s no speculating on the
results. The voters only have one set
of candidates—70 percent of them
Communists.

TIGHTER SQUADRON'!
STARTS BIG WEEK
FOR 20TH CENTURY,
Warner Bothers new thrill in the
entertainment sky, "Fighter Squad
ron," will start off a great week of
entertainment at the Gross 20th
Century Theatre today. Three spe
cially booked pictures and a special
stage presentation by the Juneau
Douglas Concert Association will 1
form four of the grandest individual
entertainments ever assembled to-!
gether in one week.
"Fighter Squadron,” the leader of j
this week’s four shows was filmed;
in Technicolor and boasts a superior |
cast of some of the most popular |
young stars on the screen today, as;
well as famous veteran actors. Ed
mond O’Brien. Robert Stack. John I
Rodney, Henry Hull, Tom D’Andrea,
Sheppard Strudwick, James Holden
and Tom McGuire.
Utilization of the Army weather
services at the Oscoda. Mich., Army
Air Base proved invaluable during
the shooting of the Technicolor
special. “Fighter Squadron.” Hourly
weather data indicated the type of
clouds moving in the direct area. In
this way, director Raoul Walsh was
able to take advantage of the clouds
which appeared on many occasions.
To facilitate communications be
tween ground troops, crews and air
craft overhead, a walkie-talkie radio
system connecting all units was de
vised which enabled the director to
call any or all of his groups.
