CAPITOL THEATRE
"Battleground,” the story of 50

kid from Mexico City via sunny
California; George Murphy as "Pop"

replacement; and James Whitmore,
as the hard-as-nails platoon ser
geant, Kinnie. The supporting cast
totals fourteen featured players, to

101st Airborne Division who enact
themselves in the realistic drama.

I
Jap Mine Detonated
Safely; Seine-Boal’s
Crew Breathes Again
SEATTLE, Aue. 3—OF—The crew
of* the purse seiner Harold A, went
about its business today, not caring
| to think about the Japanese-type
' mine which might have filleted
| its $2,000 load of fish.
The mine, hauled in by the
seiner’s nets Tuesday night, was
detonated uneventfully yesterday, i
Before that, however, the four I
crew members had spent some hec
tic moments.
Particularly did they sweat it
out when the horn-type mine,
wrapped in nets, rolled fitfully as
the fish boat sped through rough
seas into the peace and quiet of
the Westport harbor.

HALF-SUBMERGED
BOATS PICKED UP
BELLINGHAM. Wash.. Aug. 3—
(jft — Two half-submerged gillnet
boats, both abandoned, were found
floating off Whatcom County last
night.
One derelict was sighted by gill
netter George Roberts of Belling
ham who said the vessel's windows
had been blown out. He found it
awash off Birch Point about mid
night.
The second was discovered earlier
in the evening off the Point Roberts j
reef and towed to the Burke Pack- i
ing Company, Point Roberts, by the
cannery tender Irene. A company
spokesman said the vessel was un
named.
Both are believed by fishermen to <
be Canadian boats caught in the
treacherous waters at the mouth of
the Fraser river in British Columbia
by yesterday's westerly wind.

"RED SHOES" BIG
HIT; NOW ON VIEW i
AT 20TH CENTURY
First night crowds attending
showing of “The Red Shoes" at the
Gross 20th Century Theatri were
enthusiastic in their praise after
the picture had ended. Which indi
cates that the engagement will be
highly successful for the remaining
two days of the run.
The discovery of Moira Shearer,
star of “The Red Shoes" is a true
tale of the show world. One of those
show people stories that might easily
be the frame work of a movie.
Miss Shearer actually was discov
ered by Michael Powell, noted Brit
ish writer-producer-director. She
had just made her start in major
ballet roles with the Sadler's Wells
Company but was far from the lead
ing dancer of the troupe, being one
of several young ladies chosen as
an up-and-coming ballerina. But
her titian hair, lithe spirit and fig
ure caught Powell’s eye and he cast
her in the top role in "The Red
Shoes.”
The Sadler Wells season closed
one night. The following morning
Miss Shearer was on a plane to
Monte Carlo and at 5 a.m. the next
day was doing her first work before
the cameras on location.
But she was still a dancer, pri
marily. Between photography ses
sions, she kept up rehearsals for the
job she had to do when Sadler’s
Wells reopened in the fall. Oddly
enough, her task was the leading
role in “Mam’zelle Angot" a brand
new ballet by Leonide Massine, who,
curiously, was playing her ballet
teacher in “The Red Shoes.” And
also the "Wizzard Shoemaker” who
turns out the magic red shoes which
lead Miss Shearers fictional self
to grief. Her work in “The Red
Shoes" was finished just one day
before she opened at Covent Garden
in Massine’s ballet.
