'HOME OF BRAVE'
FINAL SHOWINGS
TONIGHT, CAPITOL
“Home of the Brave,” Stanley
Kramer’s daring film production
based on Arthur Laurents’ prize
play, is the surprise film of the
year, according to reports culled
from Variety, the “bible” of the
screen, stage and radio world. Re
leased by United Artists, with a
cast headed by James Edwards,
Steve Brodie, Lloyd Bridges, Doug
las Dick. Frank Lovejoy and Jeff
Corey, the film is at the Capitol
Theatre for last showings tonight.
The theme of the film is deeply
concerned with the plight of a
young Negro surveyor who is as
signed, with four white men, to a
dangerous reconnaissance mission
on a Jap-held island in the South
Pacific during World War II.
The production is full of suspense
and violence and packs a wallop.
One reviewer says, “Home of the
Brave” will make movie audiences
sit bolt upright all the way. That
is just about how this production
is gripping movie fans here accord
ing to all reports.

GARLAND, KELLY
IN BIG MUSICAL
AT 20TH CENTURY
"The Pirate,” starring Judy Gar
land, and Gene Kelly on the screen
tonight at the Gross 20th Century,
is a sumptuously mounted, beauti
fully cast, musically inspired mo
tion picture.
Every ingredient of a perfect
Technicolor musical has been gar
j nered for this suave film adaption
I of S. N. Behrman’s play, which was
one of Broadway’s greatest suc
cesses. It tells the story of a lovelorn
girl who dreams of being swept off
I her feet by a bold pirate who finds
her hero in a debonair strolling
player.
Its locale is the languorous and
exotic Caribbean. Its tunes, written
by Cole Porter, form wondrous
■ components for the dazzling acting,
singing and dancing talents of vi
vacious Judy Garland and fleet
footed Gene Kelly, who top every
thing they have ever done before
in their respective roles of the ro
mantic Manuela and the hypnotic
Serafin.
There are color, trigger-quick
, drama, laughter and song in every,
1 episode of “The Pirate,” as it un
i folds its imaginative tale of Man
uela, dreaming of the legendary
pirate Macoco, but on the verge of
I marrying the rich but old and
] paunchy Don Pedro. Overnight her
j life changes as she meets the dash
| ing Mounteback Serafin who con
I jures her into believing he is the
I bold pirate of her dreams and ulti
I mately risks his life in order to
' prove his love.
The Cole Porter songs blend
[ smoothly into the plot development j
and the composer has given several I
numbers that will be sung for!
months. Outstanding are “Love of j
My Life,” and “You Can Do No j
Wrong,” another haunting refrain, j
“Mack -the Black,” with its strange j
tempo, “Nina,” “Be a Clown,” and
the dashing “Pirate Ballet.”

RICH GROUND UPPER
YUKON RIVER AREA
Pete Taras and Claude Bullard
leave today to pick up machinery
in the Northwest for their gold
mining operations on the upper
Yukon River in Yukon Territory.
The machinery will be shipped this
Winter to the Jacobs-Buchanan
Machine Works here for adaption
so that it can be used on the
mining property.
The two men organized a com
pany in Dawson, Y . T„ for mining
their channel placers on the Yu
kon. They have 15 miles of claims
on both sides of the river and ex
pect it to rival the placer mining
that took place on the creeks about
50 years ago. Taras and Bullard
also have a lease on seven unwork
ed claims on Shorty Creek and five
miles of bench land in the Sixty
Mile district.
The men expect to return to
Juneau between March 15 and
April 1 to ferry their machinery
to Haines and then to truck it
over the highway to their claims.
Work on their properties must start
by May 1.
Assay and test reports show that
they will have a profitable summer
next year, according to Taras.
They claim that in some cases they
can make $100 a cubic yard. "The
Canadian government is paying $38
an ounce for gold with a $7 bonus
per ounce for quantities over 50
ounces sold at one time,” said Tar
as. Their agents is the Canadian
Bank of Commerce, Whitehorse.
