'D.O.A.' Is Novel
Entertainment
At Capitol Theatre
“DO.A”, the Harry M. Popkin
presentation which has probably
aroused more curiosity and interest
than any film of recent months be
cause of its provocative title, is at
the Capitol Theatre today only. Re
leased by United Artists and pro
duced by Leo C. Popkin, the story
has a strong element of novelty
and surprise. Taken all together
it is gripping entertainment, with
the strangest murder ever filmed
providing the motivating theme.
Edmund O'Brien has the most
unique role of his dramatic film
career in “D.O A", with lovely,
blonde Pamela Britton playing the
girl who loves him throughout the j
maze of intricate situations in which J
he becomes involved.
Curtis Sherwoods
Are Featured in |
Dairy Magazine
Curtis Sherwood, Mrs. Slier wood
and their granddaughter are featur
ed on the cover of the July 28
| California Dairyman, “'California’s
foremost dairy publication.”
Sherwood operates the North Star
Dairy, which sells raw milk to Ju
licauite*. He also sells pony rides
to children.
This happened as the result of a ;
trip to Alaska by Paul L. Schwartz,
dairy specialist on the California
Dairyman staff, whose article,
‘Curtis Sherwood Makes Good in
Alaska — Ex-California Dairyman
Lives Comfortably On 15 Cows,” is
featured in the publication.
Schwartz, who taught a year in
the Copper River Valley in 1920,
writes an interesting story about
Alaska's dairies, features especially
former Californian Sherwood, and
j illustrates his article with other
I photographs of the Sherwoods, Ju
neau and Mendenhall Glacier.
Juneau, he says “has made con
siderable advancement since I was
last there in 1921.”

Distillery Man,
Father of Anne
Baxter, in Town
Just try to write a story about
Kenneth S Baxter, Frankfort Dis
tillers vice president and father of
Anne Baxter of the movies!
Which is the story? That he is
here on distillery business? Or
that he is Anne Baxter's father?
Baxter, who is "just a plain
business man” with a famous
daughter whose famous grand
father is Frank Lloyd Wright the
noted architect is in charge of
tales for Frankfort's Four Roses,
aul Jone and Hunter whiskies
in eleven western states, Alaska
and Hawaii. This is his first trip
to Alaska and after seeing the
Territory from Fairbanks, Anch
arage and here is anxious to come
north again
He's going to tell John and
Anne aliout Alaska. “It would
be a wonderful trip for them."
John is Anne's husband, John
Hodiak, also a famous movie star.
How did Anne get in the mov
ies? She was a fortunate child
who knew in her youth what she
wanted to do. She wanted to be
an actress - and was an actress on
Broadway at 13.
Anne, who won an academy
tward for her part in “All About
Eve,” has a four weeks old child
—first Baxter grandchild—and is
preparing for another picture, a
comedy in which she is cast with
Dana Andrews and Victor Moore.
But to get back to Baxter, vice
president of Frankfort Distillers:
Baxter has been with his com
pany since prohibition repeal in
1933. He has seen federal taxes
increase from $1.10 to $9.00 a gal
lon. “And always threatening to
jo 'higher.”
"The taxes don't tax the in
dustry, but the consumer, in
stead. And I feel they can go no
higher,” Baxter said.
Prohibition again? Baxter, who
Juring war years was loaned by |
his company to be in charge of
public relations for the Confer
3nce of Alcoholic Beverages, be
lieves there is little danger of
prohibition returning.
‘The industry is operating in
a sensible moderate manner. It
feels a responsibility to the pub
lic which will defend it against
the threat of prohibition," he de
clared. _
"Baxter ' stnved 'h«e” ” Monday
from Anchorage and left today.
While here he visited business
firms with Bud Whiteside, repre
sentative in this area for Alaska
Distributors, agents for Frankfort
Distillers.
TRANSFERRED TO
SITKA AS
DISTRICT RANGER
After several years here in the
fiscal office of the U.S. Forest Ser
vice, Vern Joyer has been trans
ferred to Sitka as District Ranger.
The announcement was made today
by Bob Davlin, chief of the Ad
miralty division.
Joyer, with his wife and two
children, Jacqueline and Michael,
left Monday afternoon for his new
asignment and new home. He is re
placing Clyde P. Maycock, who is
being brought to Juneau as a dis
trict ranger.

Terms of (he pact will gener
ally be that when “certain’ Al
laska towns are hit, Canada will

ment, Landreth stated.
“Alaska will do likewise in the
event of an attack on Canadian
cities,” he stated.
Payment for services and sup
plies is to be made by the Teni
tory receiving assistance, the an- '
nouncement said.
Evacuation
Evacuation of Alaska’s civilian

ly if invasion becomes imminent,
Landreth stated in a press release
on the territorial Civil Defense
Council's iirst meeting held July

The Territory’s cwl defense
areas will be the same as the four
judicial districts, it was decided at!
the meeting.
Local civil defense dint-tors
will conduct training schools to
insure adequately trained and
equipped personnel in time of
need, Landreth stated.
Approval was voiced at the
meeting to send officers of local
defense organizations to federal
training schools.
Steps have been taken to pur- j
chase medical supplies, and it is
expected that when the supplies '■
are received, they will be distribu
ted to 23 towns in the Territory,
j he stated.
Supply Purchases
“It is anticipated," he said,
“that purchases of the supplies
will be made by the federal
civil defense administration in
Washington, D C. Requests of
states and territories govern the
quantities purchased."
The federal government recent
ly matched $50,000 put up by the
Territory for obtaining medical
supplies.
“Congress cjpes not at this Jinw.'L.
he explained "seem disposed to put
up matching funds for the pur

purpose unless matched by the
federal government.”

'Alias Nick Beal'
Holds Audiences
Alh 20lh Century
Fear is projected from the screen
of the 20th Century Theatre via
Paramount's "Alias Nick Beal" in a
way to hold audiences spellbound
and leave them limp with suspense
and wonder. The film, which ar
rived there yesterday, co-stars Ray
Mllland, Audrey Totter and Thomas
Mitchell, and is one of the most
unusually exciting dramas seen in
a long time.
Millatid has the title role, that of
a sinister man of mystery whose
smooth villainy is a masterful job
of acting. The star has tried his
capable hand at screen wickedness
before — once in Kitty" and more
recently in "So Evil My Love." But
In both those films his villainy was
child’s play compared to the crimes
he perpetrates as "Alias Nick Beal."
The object of his nefarious at
tention is Thomas Mitchell, admired
and respected district attorney who
is waging a courageous battle against
the town’s gangsters. Evidence to
convict the worst of them is given
him illegally and under mysterious
circumstances by Nick Beal, who
materializes out of nowhere, ayd
influences Mitchell to accept it.
That is Mitchell’s first misstep, but
one which wins for him the nomina
tion for governor on the reform
ticket.
