"BIG CAT" BRUTAL
FIGHT IS TOUGH,
CAPITOLTONIGHT
If you think Preston Foster and
Forrest Taylor didn't take severe
physical punishment in their fight
scene for Eagle Lion's Technicolor
drama. "The Big Cat,” which opens
tonight at the Capitol Theatre, you
are sadly mistaken.
Of course, the black eyes and
skinned knuckles which show up
j o prominently on the screen, are
| make-believe. Both are experienced
| actors and know how to stage a
fight without getting hurt.
Foster and Tucker took their
aeatings because the fight was
staged in the ice-cold mountain
-tream fed waters of Hoosier Lake.
'0.000 feet up in the Wasatch
Mountains in Utah.
Despite their extreme physical
activity, Foster and Tucker could
anly stay in the water five minutes
it a time before coming out to thaw
their frozen bodies. They were given
steaming cups of tea at each emerg
ence to help thena warm up. Phil
Xarlson directed the film.

DOUBLE MYSTERY
BILL STARTING
AT 2QTH CENTURY
That it takes the maneuverability
of a Queen to checkmate the King
in the current sinister chess game
of power politics is the fascinating
theme of Film Classics' mystery
melodrama, “Project X.” coming to |
the 20th Century for showings to- i
night and Saturday.
A curvaceous charmer named
Rita Colton, making a most em
phatic splash in her movie debut,
is the entrancing bait by which a
young man is subverted into the j
Communist movement only to be- j
come the focal point in the cap-.
turc of its ringleader.
Filmed entirely on location in
New York. "Project X" is the highly
plausible story of a young Ameri
can who is threatened by his past.
Steve Monahan, a physicist em
ployed by an Atomic Research
Project, meets lus old college chum,
a rabid .Communist, who threatens
to expose Steve’s one-time affilia
tion with “the party” unless he
passess along some much needed
secrets about the atomic bomb.
The suspense builds with combus
tion-like precision as events pyra
mid into an exciting climax.
Second feature on the 20th Cen
tury screen is “Gunning for Justice,”
another mystery story.
WANT MOTORING
ADVENTURE! TRY
ALASKA HIGHWAY;
i
The Alaska Highway is the most
adventuresome motor trip on the
continent, says Ronald Schiller in
the February Readers’ Digest. Even |
on flat land the road twists into
hairpin curves. In rough terrain
it goes up and down like a roller
coaster. Sometimes clinging to the
sides of cliffs 400 feet high, it turns
sharply without warning, giving
rear-seat passengers the stomach
gripping sensation of taking off
into space. There is not a guard
rail in its entire length.
The 1,523 miles of the Highway
between Dawson Creek, B. C., and
Fairbanks, Alaska, are not, however,
quite as rugged as they were a
few years ago. It is no longer ne
cessary to take along food, camp
ing equipment and efetra gas.
Lodges, garages and stores have
opened at Intervals of 50 to 100
miles along the route. You’d better
have at least six good tires, how
ever.
You should observe, too, the an
cient law of the Yukon that no one
may withhold help from anyone
who needs it. If you drive by a
car in a ditch without offering
assistance you may find that no
lodging is available to you any
where along the Highway.
Though many more tourists flock
the Highway in summer, the road
in winter is in better condition
Buried under solidly packed snow
and kept clear by plows, it provides
a smooth surface. Weatherproof, 35
passenger buses maintain their
usual three-times-a-week schedule'
Drivers fear not the intense cold
but the warm Chinook wind from
the Pacific that melts the snow
and makes the Highway a ribbon
of ice.
The scenery is on an epic scale,
the article says, and the whole
country is a "gigantic menagerie.”
Big game, including caribou, moose,
bears and wolves, is frequently seen.
