0ALCATRAZ ISLAND"
Is A FINE NOVELTY
Academy Presents Great
Picture Monday, Tues
day of Next Week

Everybody in the United States
has heard of "Alcatraz Island"
that rather smallish bit of rock
which is washed by the chill cross
currents of San Francisco Bay.
But few persons apart from
San Francisco residents have ever
even seen the famous island itself
and almost nobody has been on
the inside of the prison situated
on the rock.
The picture is called "Alcatraz
Island and its leading players
are John Litel. Dick Purcell, Cor
don Oliver, Mary Mcguire and
Ann Sheridan.
The tale has to do with a racke-
teer-played by Litel-who is, in
his way, fairly decent. He'll take
all the money he can get but he
won't countenance murder. Be
cause Of this latter tenet, he is
framed by underworld associates,
and sent to Leavenworth, minor
Federal pen on an income tax
evasion conviction.
Here he's framed again, made
to appear like an incorrigible and
sent to the Big Rock.
"Alcatraz Island isn't alto
gether a prison story. 1t would be
too drab if it were. Cat Brady

has kept in private school before.

Live Love and Learn at the Maryland, Next Week
FINE PROGRAM ON
FIRST THREE DAYS
Robert Montgomery and
Rosalind Russell Star
At The Maryland

Teaming Robert Montgomery
and Rosalind Russell for the third
time, with Robert Benchley fea-
tured in one of his funniest char
acterizations and with Helen Vim
son as the "other woman" the
new MGM romantic comedy Live
Love and Learn comes next
Monday to the Maryland Theatre
for a three-day showing.
Placed largely in the colorful
atmosphere of Greenwich vii
lagos Bohemian art colony Live,
Love and Learn" develops a
sparkling story of the married
life of penniless artist and the
girl who forsook wealth and So
ciety to marry him.
In abrupt contrast to the grim
scenes of Might Must FALL their
most recent teaming triumph, the
settings of Live, Love and Learn"
are faithful reproductions of
Greenwich Village.
The role of Julie" Montgomery
wife, is said to offer Rosalind
Russell a telling opportunity to
display the talents for which Met
ro-Goldwyn+Mayer a few weeks
ago accorded her stardom.
The distinguished supporting
cast of Give. Love and learn"
is headed by the inimitable Bench
ley and the glamorous Miss Vim
son.
Entailing a 1avishness seldom
before matched in pictures of this
type, magnificent salons contrast
with shabby artists quarters in
Live, Love and Learn, provid-
ing a perfect background for the
comedy and melodrama of the
picture.

about his means of livelihood.
The yarn concerns itself with
how the girl CMary Maguire) falls
in love with the District Attorney
Gordon Oliver who has sent Cat
away, and with how-after still
another framing, this time on a
murder charge MARY and Gordon
rally to his rescue at his trial for
life.
"Alcatraz Island" is a complete
novelty as a movie, and has a
smashing climax which straight
ems everything out in logical
manner.

Play Friday Proves Successful
Climax to Dramatic Season
.EprEo aY ANNE HARDY DAVIS

Death Takes Holiday, the all
dramatics class play presented Fri
day night at Central by high school,
and Junior college students was
a tremendous success and a fitting
climax to the schools dramatic
season.
To make fantasy convincing re-
quires considerable skill in acting
and the fact that the cast achieved
this goal is a high compliment
to the ability or the individual ac-
tors and to the director, Joe Bur-
cham, who was assisted by Pres
ton Goar, Kenneth Kenyon, JAG
queline LaVine and Phil Van
Slyck.
Without question Phil Van Slyck
gave a remarkable portrayal OF
Death, who assumed mortal form
as Prince Sirki, taking a three-day
holiday during which no one could
die. This exceedingly difficult role
was played with marked ability,
lending reality to the production.
Gerry Blake who played Grazia
gave an excellent Characterization
in this leading feminine role, main
tanning through the whole perfor-
NANCE the dreamy, other+World
