Bold Outlawry Rivals Weird Mystery
CAPITOL OFFERS BELLY THE KID''
 FOR HEADL|NER
Incident of Widest Days of Wild West Enacted
 by Notable Cast

Billy the Kid" which will open at the Capitol Theatre tonight has been added by Director King Vi- dor of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to the rapidly increasing list of pie lures dedicated to various phases of American history.
 Billy the Kid'' relates the stir ring happenings at Lincoln, Lincoln County, New Mexico, during the famous "cattlemen's war of 1878 1879 and 1880 The career of Will liam Bonney during that time is the crux of the widest point the Wild West ever reached.
 History Class Pictures
 Other pictures in the history class are Janice Meredith "The Covered Wagon" The Birth of a Nation" Abraham Lincoln and ''The Big Parade
 Bonney was the most distinctive figure of his era. A product of his time, he defended his friends with his pistol. He thought noth- ing of open warfare with other men. He was the ringleader of the famous McSween gang in the Lin co,n County war.
 Chief Trait Was Courage
 The Kids greatest attribute was his courage stated Eric Paulson, manager of the Capitol theatre. "The man lived by violence and died violently, but possessed a brav- cry and capacity for leadership which in more peace ful times, would have made him a valuable citizen. In telling his story, the photoplay does not mitigate his misdeeds. In fact, it tells them with all truth. I feel his example will prove to all young boys that none can get away with breaking the law"
 Notable Players in Cast
 John Mack Brown plays The Kid" and Wallace Beery gives an inimitable ch ara t eri ti n as Sheriff Garrett Kay Johnson has the feminine lead. Karl Dane is seen as the comic cowboy Swen- son. The large cast also includes Wyndham Standing, Russel Simp- son. Blanche Frederici, Roscoe Ates, Warmer P. Richmond, James Mar GUS, Nelson McDowell, Jack Car lyle, John Beck, Marguerite Padula and Aggie Herring.

Individual instruction is given, also.
 MT. Shepard started the "bridge college" ten years ago at the sug- gestion' of players in the Knicker- booker Whist Club, among whom he had become one of the best players. At first he hired the best players he could find as teachers, doing very little instruction work himself.
 And then I discovered that the students who came to the college wanted me to teach them, not one of the hired teachers" Shepard ex- plains. "While flattering, that didn't suit my plans particularly. I'd retired from business only a few years before, and here folks were trying to get me back into the harness again."
 He gave in to the popular de- mand, however, and today enjoys his teaching.
 Before becoming a bridge ex- pert, Shepard was an engineer. And it is on his training as an en- gineer that his bridge reputation is built.
 "It got my goat to be beaten consistently at bridge," he relates,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-09-15

"so started to figure out the per- centages of the game: the possible number of hands, the possible dis tribution of suits and cards, every thing. For more than two years l worked from eight to fourteen hours day on it. !. and It the end of that time, still was being beaten badly.
 When made the discovery that there are about 150 impor- tant points in playing hands, I got on the track to becoming good player. And it wasn't long until l was recognized as one of the four best at the Knickerbocker Club"
 Since then Shepard's fame has grown apace. He is recognized as the experts expert at contract bridge, and recently the British Bridge League for New York City made him it's honorary secretsry.
 If the bridge college ever con fers degrees it will have to decide whether to call graduate B.C.B., for bachelor in contract bridge, or W.C.B., which might mean either widow or widower in contract bridge. Which initials would you prefer to wear after your nams2

MADRID, May 23. = The Spanish Provisional Govern ment struck what is general ly regarded as the first inn pOrtant step in it's avowed program to separate Church and State when the Cabinet last night decreed absolute religious freedom of worship for all creeds in Spain.
 Although the measure does not yet actually mean separa- tiOn, since there is a signed cOncCrdat between M a d r i d and the Vatican City which must be terminated by mu- tual agreement, the decree provides that the Government no longer professes the Cath olic religion as official.

 Dr. J. Markowitz, professor of physiology, is performing a series of these experiments in an effort to discover how drugs affect the vital organs when body tissues are not present to complicate matters.
