'Gun Crazy,' Crime
Drama, Opens Today
II Capitol Theatre
A wild orgy of crime, depicted
against the background of bullet -
spattered highways, is perpetrated
by Peggy Cummins and John Dali
as the stars of the United Artists
drama, "Gun Crazy,” which opens
an engagement at the Capitol The
atre today. The picture is said to be
exceptional in its suspense and in
the violence of its action.
The film, produced by Frank and
Maurice King, is based on MacKin
lay Kantor’s Saturday Evening Pest I
story of the same name, and the ,
screenplay was written by Kantor j
and Millard Kaufman.
Early sequences of the picture
show Dali as a young boy, innocently
obsessed by firearms and already
an expert shot, but destined to spend
a term in a reform school for steal
ing a revolver. Later, as a young
man just out of the army, he meets
and marries Miss Cummins, the
Annie Laurie Starr of the story, a
ruthless carnival sharpshooter who
immediately' leads him into a fife
oi crime.
A series of holdups by the pmr
follow each other in rapid succes
sion, but Dali’s horror at the turn
of events is overcome by his mutual
infatuation for the girl. The situa
tion is complicated by the fact that
Laurie is a brazen killer, while Dali
shrinks from taking the life of even
a wild animal.
Eventually the boldness of the
criminal couple brings about a sav
age pursuit by officers of the" law,
with two of Dali's boyhood chums
forced by circumstances to conduct
the final stages of the chase.
"Gun Crazy” was directed for
King Bros, by Joseph H. Lewis, and
the cast supporting the stars in
cludes Berry Kroeger as a drunken
carnival owner; Morris Carnovsky
as a judge; Anabel Shaw as Dali's
sister; and Harry Lewis and Ned
rick Young as his boyhood chums.
The production was designed by
Gordon Wiles, and the musical score
was provided by Victor Young.
Troopship Runs
Aground; None Hurt
WELLINGTON, N. Z. Aug. 15—
t-Pi—The New Zealand troopship
Wahine, with 570 Korea-bound
troops aboard, early today struck |

City Accidentally
Voted Dry Made
Legally Wet Again
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 15—
iypi—The blushing city commission,
which accidentally voted Birming
ham dry last week, has made the
town legally wet again.
The commission had intended to
outlaw only drinking of bay rum,
paint remover and other “skid
row" substitutes for alcoholic bev
arages. City attorneys discovered,
several hours too late, that the
resolution covered too much ter
ritory.
A carefully drawn law which
rectified the error was passed
yesterday
'13' Unlucky for
New Residents of
Southeast Alaska
Mrs. Gene Shanks will agree with
anyone that "13” is not a lucky
number.
Mrs. Shanks, her daughter Bar
bara and a Fairbanks friend, Mrs.
Alta Delling, drove down the high
way from Fairbanks, arriving here
Monday, Aug. 13 and at Mile 13 out
of Juneau had a minor car acci
dent. Monday was also Barbara’s
birthday.
A taxi stopped on the road ahead
of her, Mrs. Shanks said, and in
going around it she met a car com
ing from the opposite direction. The
Shanks car ran into the other,
driven by Roland Gilmer of Juneau,
but no serious damage was done.
John Monagle of the Highway Pat
rol, said no charges would be filed
by his office.
The Shanks family is moving to
Southeastern Alaska from Fairbanks
where Shanks has been engaged in
carpentering. He is also a well
known Interior bush pilot. He will
join his family here in about a
month.
Mrs. Shanks said they are moving
to Gull Cove, on the northern tip
of Chicagof Island, where they are
establishing a hunting and fishing
lodge. The property formerly be
longed to Shanks’ parents.
The main lodge is near completion
and there are two cabins available
for guests. They expect to add more
in the future.
Besides Barbara, other members
of the family which accompanied
Mrs. Shanks from Fairbanks were
Pinker, their cocker spaniel, and
Jughead, the calico cat.
The family, with Mrs. Delling.
will leave tomorrow on the mailboat
for Gull Cove where Mrs. Delling
will be a guest for several days.

WAKE UP YOUR
LIVER BILE
Without Calomel—And You’ll Jump Out of
Bed in the Morning Rarin’ to Go
The liver should pour out about 2 pints of
bile juice into your digestive tract every day.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food may
not digest. It may just decay in the digestive
tract. Then gas bloats up your stomach. You
get constipated. You feel sour, sunk and the
world looks punk.
It takes tnose mild, gentle Carter's Little
Liver Pills to get these 2 pints of bile flow
ing freely to make you feel "up and up.” Get
a package today. Effective in making bile flow
fr«*ely. Ask for Caffir’s Little Liver Pills, 37ff
at any drugstore.
Former Juneau
Couple to Teach
At King Island
Mr. and Mrs. Juan Munoz, former
Juneau residents, left Seattle re
cently on the Alaska Native Service
supply ship North Star to teach at
King Island during the next school
year.
Since the islanders are at Nome
on their annual pilgrimage to sell
ivory carvings and for summer em
ployment, school will be started
there before the return to King Is
land. Mr. and Mrs. Munoz expect
to reach Nome Aug. 21.
King Island is in Bering Strait
directly south of Cape Prince of
Wales. ,
The supply ship, enroute south
from Point Barrow, will pick up the
Munoz couple and the natives about
Oct. 1 to transport them to King
Island. The North Star is on its
annual supply run to Barrow.

Trotting Race in
'David Harum,' Now
At 20th Century
An exciting trotting race, upon
whose outcome hinges the future of
a young couple who are as poor as
they are in love, provides an amus
ing climax to "David Harum," which
is currently playing at the 20th
Century Theatre.
Will Rogers, as David Harum, Is
a good sulky driver as well as a
shrewd horse trader and banker. On
the day of the big trotting race of
the year, he consents to sit behind
Evelyn Venable's horse, an animal
which he had used to outwit her in
a horse trade. The temperamental
animal will only run fast when a
certain song is played. How David
Hurum handles the horse and wins
the race provides one of the greatest
comedy scenes in which the noted
cowboy-philosopher ever appeared
on the screen.
In this race sequence Rogers drove
the temperamental trotter like a
veteran. Old-time horsemen, whose
horses were leased for the race, de
clared that Rogers was almost a
counterpart of Ed <Pop> Geers, out
standing Grand Circuit driver for
many years.
