"MOONRISE" LAST
SHOWING TONIGHT,
CAPITOL THEATRE
* --
Tonight at the Capitol Theatre is
the last night for "Moonrise,” a sus
pense drama of the ’coon huntin’
country where a boy, Danny Haw
kins (Dane Clifrk), fights two bail j
ties, one within himself and the
other for the girl he loves Gilly
Johnson (Gail Russell), when he...
well, see the show.
Sharing honors in this feature is |
this long time queen of stage and
screen, Ethel Barrymore, who can
stand with or without the Barry
I more clan in her fine interpreta
tions. She not only carries on the
tradition of great acting, but it is
said that she is one of Hollywood’s
most enthusiastic sports fans and
authorities. She was the first star
to install a radio (in 1920) in a
dressing room so as to hear spcrts
broadcasts between acts. She still
follows the fights and can rattle
off names of champions and con
tenders in every class. She prop
hesies football and baseball results
more accurately than top sports
writers, averaging over 50 percent
right in her selections for the past
decade.
Coming tomorrow and Saturday
is “Undertow” with lovely Peggy
i Dow and Scott Brady who get in
i volved in some big time operations
j in Reno, so see the picture and
I find out how they get along.

Home Nursing Course
May Start Next Week
For Civil Defense Here
There is more to be done than
was previously thought necessary in
the civil defense program and
especially in the training program,
said Mrs. Robert Boochever at the
second organizational meeting of
the graduate and registered nurses
last night.
“Nurses are to teach home nurs
ing and nurses aide courses,” Mrs.
Boochever said. She announced that
Mother Superior Henrietta of St.
Ann’s hospital is chairman of the
home nursing program and Mrs.
Tom Dyer is chairman of the nurses
aide program. Those nurses inte
rested are to take the Red Cross
first aid course.
Miss Florence Ullricn ol tne Na
tional Red Cross nursing division
spoke at the meeting. “A part of the
Red Cross program is to help in
the promotion of our educational
program to eliminate suffering. The
home nursing program is a part of
the overall program,” she said.
The Red Cross home nursing pro
gram has been continuous since
its beginning in 1914, according to
Miss Ullrich. “It is an important
phase of the civil defense. The Na
tional Security Resources Bbard and
the national civil defense made the
Red Cross responsible for the train
ing of first aid people and nurses
in case of emergency,” she said.
Thirty hours of training are neces
sary in the home nursing course
for instructors who will teach the
course and for those who take the
course from the instructors. It is
hoped that the instructors course
can be started next week. Ten of
the nurses at the meeting signified
that they would take’ the course
during the next three weeks to be
come instructors.

THESE DAYS
--BY
GECP.GF, E. SUKGLSKY
THE WHY OF IT
Purcell McKamey of Steelton
Pennsylvania, wrote me a long an.’
interesting letter, the gist of which
is:
. . From the spelling of your
name, it is to be assumed that your
origin is of Polish or Russian: is
it that you are psychologically af
fected by this background to the
extent that you use your column to
try and prove how much you are
against anything Russian or Com
munistic? . . . are you fair in your
attacks upon people who have the ■
will and right to their thoughts re- |
Bardless of how they may disagree |
with yours or others?"
The why of all this is quite simple. |
In 1917, when Russian rebelled
against the Czar and his court,
against the power of Rasputin and
the corruption of nobility, the many,
like myself, felt that free, repre
sentative government, that liberty
had pierced the last great auto
cratic country. Turkey had become
a free country in 1908; China in
1911; now Russia had joined the i
march.
I was then a student at Colum
bia University and sought for means
to go to Russia to fight and labor
for liberty. I got a job as a cor
respondent, sailed on the old Oscar
II and, after a short stay in Sweden,
arrived in Petrograd. There I be
came editor of the Russian Daily
News, an English-lariguage news
paper.
As a working newspaperman,
charged with the task of reporting
daily on events and publishing them
in the city which was then the
capital of the country, I had many
opportunities to come close to the ;
situation as it developed.
I witnessed the struggles of
Kerensky against both the Com-1
munists and the Czarists. I was pre- j
sent at the seizure of power by the i
Bolsheviks. I saw Lenin, Trotsky |
and Stalin (who was then not sol
important) at close quarters. I had
to understand the movements which
were influencing millions of human
beings. I lived under .the Commun
ists from October, 1917, to March,
1918.
The heartbreak of it was that
there was no will for liberty among
the Marxists. They only sought
power. Their own phrase for it was
that they "took power.”
I was present at all the sessions
of the constituent assembly which
had been called before the Bolshe
viks took over. They laughed at the
idea of the elected representatives
of the people determining the basic
law of the country. They sent sailors
to break it up.
I witnessed the suppression of
every organ of the people — the
church, the press, meetings, political
parties. Quickly they restored the
despotism of the Czars. It was o
despotism without restraint.
Human freedom was a value
which I had taken for granted. I
was born in the United States,
where I had never felt the force of
government on my back like a lash.
I knew no class, no race, no religi
ous struggle. My father went to his
synagogue on the sabbath and we
children walked behind him, as our
Irish and German neighbors went
to their churches on Sunday. In
America, even God could be taken
for granted.
It was in Sibera that the ques
tion of God and country and human
liberty became an issue that had to
be worked out. I had seen the de
gradation of man. I had seen men
and women who did not fear death,
but who did fear life.
For 13 years after that I lived
and worked in China. Many of the
name you now read about, I knew
as young men and women, my own
age. My associations with Sun Yat
Sen were close. I knew Chiang Kai
Shek before he became a figure
;I knew many of the present Com
munist leaders as far back as 1919
when I was adviser to the Shanghai
Students’ Union, whose scroll still
hangs on my wall.
But the question of human liberty
and country and God was not an
swered in China. Our troops today
speak of the brutality of the
Oriental, their habit of shooting the
"AT WAR WITH THE
ARMY" ON TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
Coming direct from Hollywood
for a premiere showing on the Pa
cific Coast, is "At War With the
Army,” tonight at the 20th‘Century
Theatre. This is said to te one of
the funniest comedies eve screened
and Dean Martin and jerry Lewis
compose the comedy team with
many other funmakers and a bunch
of lovely girls.
Here is more about this feature:
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis,
America’s No. 1 comedy team, are
at their funniest as a pair of GI’s
who reduce camp life to a hilarious
state of bedlam.
Before their induction, Dean and
Jerry worked together as a comedy
team, but in the army they’re at
cross purposes, with Sergeant Dean j
wanting; overseas, and Private Jerry;
trying to get further inland.
However, three young lovelies with
other plans invade the camp. An
gela Greene, the captain's wife,
gives her husband the orders which
he relays to the men. Jean Ruth, a
not-so-bright cutie, with designs on
Dean, gets the handsome sergeant
into a series of tight spots, while
pretty Polly Bergen battles her for
Dean’s affections.
Along with the zany complication •
comes a flock of Mack David-Jerry
Livingston hit tunes which are put
across in lively style by Dean, Jerry
and Polly.
Fun, romance, song and a side
splitting solution of this merry mili
tary mix-up all band together for
the riotous finale of "At War With
the Army.”

VISITING TERRITORY
D. G. McMillon, representative
from the Seattle office of the En
cyclopedia Brittanica is a Juneau
visitor on a tour of the territory for
his company. He plans to go from
Juneau to Anchorage and Fair
banks.
McMillon is calling on school of
ficials and others interested par
ticularly in his field. He is a guest
at the Baranof Hotel.
WANT AOS BRING RESULls
sick and wounded and prisoners of
war.
And always it came to me: from
what is derived mercy, compassion,
pity, charity, love? Can men be free
without God?
To understand my own necessity
for God, I read and studied the
enemy. I devoted myself to every
biologic and physical evidence of
the futility of the supernatural. But
it did not do in the realm of man’s
relationship to man. For the most
that Karl Marx could establish was
that those men and those things
survived which struggled hardest ir
a suitable environment to survive.
Yet, I also witnessed the elevation
of the spirit of love daily in the
works of compassionate men whe
lived in freedom.
In my own country, the United
States, I knew freedom. I also knew
God. Of course, any human society
has faults—but I could say in 1931
in the depth of the depression, that
I could find no condition of life in
America, material or spiritual, that
was as unfavorable as that to which
I had for 14 years become ac
customed in Russia and Asia.
