[FULL OF FUN IS
FEATURE COMING,
CAPITOL THEATRE
Said to be one of the funniest
things that ever happened to a
family, "Loilisa” opens tomorrow at
the Captol Theatre. It is said the
laughs grow with every whisper and
with that here is the story and
those making it:
Hal Norton (Ronald Reagan) has
two romantic problems on his hands,
his daughter Cathy (Piper Laurie),
and his mother, Louisa Norton
(Spring Byington), the latter giv
ing him more trouble than daughter
and wife, Meg Norton (Ruth Hus
sey), combined. Mother is involved
in a romantic triangle with tycoon
Abel Burnside (Charles Coburn)
and corner grocer Henry Hammond
(Edmund Gwenn).
When Mother appears to appre
ciate the sweet nothings of grocer
Hammond over those of tycoon
Burnside, son Hal becomes irked
because he is in line for a vice
presidency with Burnside and de
plores his mother choosing a mere
grocer or, for that matter, choosing
anyone as another husband.
As the battle between the old
sters waxes hot over Mother the
case becomes acute when it is dis
covered that the grocer has had
four previous wives and no divorces.
It is all cleared up when Ham
mond explains that he had been
married four times to the same wo
man Just to show their great love
for each other. Triumphant, Ham
mond marries Mother.

WIN OVER
S.F. SEALS
By Associated Press
Despite a herioc 17-inning attempt
San Francisco still does not own a
Pacific Coast league victory.
The Seals lost their 11th straight
last- nifht, 7 to 6, to Seattle. Jackie
Albright singled home Alex Gar
bowski with the deciding run after
Bud Guldborg of the Rainiers and
Chet Johnson of the Seals duelled
scorelessly from the 11th inning on.
The defeat was particularly rough
for the Seals. They blew the game
after jumping out to a five-run lead
in the first inning, chasing Vern
Kindsfather. Dewey Soriano and
Mike Clgry also pitched for Seattle.

MELODRAMA OF
THRILL KIND IS
AT 20TH CENTURY
The "House of Strangers” conies
to the -20th Century Theatre to
night.
Edward G. Robinson, Susan Hay
ward and Richard Conte are the
stars and with a stellar supporting
cast including Luther Adler, Paul
Valentine. Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., De
bra Pagett, Esther Minciotti, Di
ana Douglas, Tito Vuolo and Hope
Emerson, they give extra-ordinary
vividness to the characters in this
hard-hitting melodrama already
acclaimed as the year’s best.
The exceptional realism and col
orful atmosphere in the production
was achieved by Director Joseph L.
Mankiewicz and Producer Sol C.
Siegel through filming the exterior
scenes in the heart of New York’s
teaming Little Italy colony and us
ing players from the Italian theatre
there to portray the small parts so
essential to the story’s Italian
flavor.
Philip Yordan did the script for
“House of Strangers" from Jerome
Weidman’s novel, "I’ll Never Go
There Anymore.” ^

MS ROBBIE BUCKS
GULF GALE; ARRIVES
HERE LAST NIGHT
■Tjjh,$, MS Robbie; of, the,
Parks Canning Co. of Cordova re
turned here late last night after a
rough trip over the Gulf of Al
aska to pick up a barge brought
here for repairs.
The barge, loaded with cannery
supplies, was being towed to Cor
dova a week ago when it sprang
a leak off Pt. Gardner and was
beached at Cosmos Cove. With the
aid of the U. S. Coast Guard cutter
Cjtrus, the barge was pumped out,
temporarily repaired, and brought
to Juneau where Jack Warner ex
pects to have it ready to sail by
tomorrow.
Much of the cargo in the barge
was damaged by sea water, but
some will be replaced as ballast for
the Cordova trifc. Because the barge
is so badly needed in Cordova,
the Robbie, skippered by Capt.
Pawl Peterson, has bucked high
seas and gale winds since 2 o’clock
Tuesday morning to ge^ here while
a large number of boats are lying
at Elfin Cove awaiting better
weather to cross the Gulf. Paul
Hamseth is engineer. Other crew
members are Ronald Peterson and
Phil Beck.
NO INFORMATION
ON RUMORED MILA.
The U. S. Forest Service office
said today that it had no informa
tion on a pulp mill rumored to be
starting at Auk Bay. Officials of
the Forest Service said they had
had many inquiries on the project
the past day or so but no informa
tion on it has reached their office.
