Colorful Story
Of Dog Coming to
Capitol Theatre
Ending tonight, the Capitol The
atre offers “They Live by Night,"
starring Farley Granger.
Coming tomorrow, based on James
Oliver Curwood's great adventure
of the outdoors, is "Kazan.” Stephen
Dunne, Lois Maxwell, Joe Sawyer,
Roman Bohnen and Zoro, in the
title role, are featured.
“Kazan" is reported to be the
absorbing story of a half-savage
dog who reverted to type when
turned loose in the wilderness of the
Canadian Northwest, and was only
won back to the service of man
when an understanding human
proved he was master. Kazan, a
huge sled dog, becomes the snarling
king of the frozen wilds when his
first master dies and he is left to
fend for himself.
When Dunne, a young govern
ment game conservation agent, at
tempts to win the dog by kindness,
he fails at first because of the
animal's suspicion of humans. His
task Is further complicated when
evil men paint the animal as a
wolf. Dunne is able to achieve the
dog's confidence and love when he
demonstrates his mastery over the
powerful canine in a ferocious fight,
that makes a compelling climax.

New Law Clears
Reindeer Sales
In Territory
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—tT>—With
a stroke of the pen President Tru
man wiped out yesterday any legal
backing for the U.S. Commissioner
of Education to sell any male rein
deer the government might have
and to use the proceeds to buy
female reindeer for distribution
among the natives of Alaska.
This was one of the cobwebs
dusted out of the law books by a
new law. It not only repeals a
lot of antiquated legal provisions
relating to government property,
some of them dating hack to 1882,
but also clarifies other statutes on
the subject.

Harold Munson of Spenard is at
