COMEDY FEATURE AT
CAPITOL TONIGHT
—
“Free For All" opens tonight at
the Capitol Theatre and here is
the story:
i Chris Parker (Robert Cummings),
young Ohio inventor, arrives in
Washington, D.C., to patent a tablet
' which turns water into gasoline.
He stays at a boarding house op
erated by Henry Abbott (Percy Kil
bride), patent office employee.
Parker falls in love with Abbott's
daughter, Alva (Ann Blyth), oil
company employee.
Abbott tries to interest the army
and navy in Parker's revolutionary
invention—but to no avail. Oil ty
coon A. B. Blair (Ray Collins) hears
of the invention which might easily
ruin his vast oil empire and asks for
a demonstration. The secret formula
works perfectly. A tablet is stolen
from Parker by Dr. Thorgelson
(Mikhail Rasumny), scientist for
the Blair oil firm.
When Henry Abbott discovers the
oil company had stolen a tablet, ho
tells Parker he is a defeated man.
Parker leaves Washington and young
Alva, the latter in the arms of
Roger Abernathy (Donald Woods),
oil company public relations counsel.
When the formula can’t be broken
down by the oil company scientists,
the company’s head and Alva Ab
bott pursue inventor Parker in a
company helicopter.
The dejected Parker is overtaken
and completes two deals—one with
A. B. Blair for the gasoline formula
and the other with the beautiful
Alva Abbott — a march down the
wedding aisle.
NEW PARCEL POST
RATES IN EFFECT
ON NOVEMBER 15
Zone rates on parcels of fourth
class matter and air parcel post
between Alaska and the United
States will become effective No
vember 15, advised Postmaster Gen
eral Osborne A, Pearson.
Zcning of the Territory for com
puting postage rates on parcel post
will mean a substantial saving for
Alaskans, particularly during the
approaching Christmas season. For
merly cigh'h-zone rates were ap
plicable on all parcel post mailed
to and from Alaska. Under the
new zoning regulations, Seattle and
Portland will be located in the
fifth zone and parcel post rates
will drop from 18 to 15 cents per
pound.
Great Falls will be in the sixth
zone, San FTancisco in the seventh,
New York, Chicago and other east
ern centers remaining in the eighth.
Seattle will continue to be an eighth
zone point for Barrow and other
Arctic communities.
Although increases in air parcel
post rates for intra-Alaska traffic
are scheduled to take effect No
vember 1, the new zoning regula
tions actually will mean a decrease
lor parcels mailed to the States.
The old rate of 80 cents for the
Inst pound to Seattle, for example,
will be reduced to 70 cents for the
first pound and 56 cents for each
additional pound.
Application for zone rates on
U. S.-Alaska parcel post completes
the final stage in the long-awaited
revision of postal zoning regula
tions as they apply to the Territory.
Regular zone taU-s on intra -Al,. .:a
parcel pest became effective st.j
lember 15, 1948.

TWO FEATURES
OPEN TOMORROW
AT 20TH CENTURY
Starting tomorrow the Gross 20th
Century Theatre will return two
epic screen productions that have
made history individually as tre
mendous entertainment spectacles.
Preston Foster, the hero in “Last
Days of Pompeii,” is a blacksmith,
gladiator, racketeer, horse thief,
slave dealer and human butcher,
but who is repentant and sacrifices
his life for those he loves.
Enacted amid a seething mael- J
strom of ancient races and against
a magnificent background, the
temple of Jupiter and the Pom
peiian forum; the arena with its
nerve-tingling gladiatorial combats
with Its seats for the wealthy and
its stone benches, tier upon tier,
for the common herd; its 75 foot
tall colossus straddling the fighters’
entrance-way; luxurious banquets
amid barbaric splendor contrasted
with the slums of the Roman re
sort; a stampede of wild horses;
beautiful dancing girls at a patri
cian's revels, scenes of a toucmi ■
episode in Jerusalem and finally the
great climax, the rain of lava on the
classic city and its maddened
throngs fighting to flee from de
struction.
Among the wonders witnessed in
"She,” the second attraction on the
j bill, are perils encountered by r n
' expedition led by Randolph Scott.
! Helen Muck and Nigel Bruce, be
ginning with an encounter with ;
savage tribe of Amahaggers, in
which Bruce Is subjected to a
threat of torture with a white hot
I crucible lowered to envelop his
j head.
! There is also a curtain of living
j steam through which Helen Gaha
! uen in the role of an Immortal queen
j of rare beauty makes a dramatic
■ appearance to her visitors from the
! civilized world. A saber toothed tiger
i is discovered sealed in a tomb of
glacial ice, and an avalanche of ice
carries animals and humans to de
. siruction.
