Sinners in

James Whale. the soft spoken,
blend Englishman who has given
the screen such masterpieces as
"Show Boat" The Invisible Man"
and "Frankenstein" has added an
other triumph to chat shining roster
with Sinners in Paradise a Uni
versal picture at the Capitol for
final showing tonight.
1t is long time since the screen
has presented such a display of
primitive love and hate as Whale
has brought out in the acting of
Madge Evans, John Boles and Bruce
Cabot as they play their parts in
this story of civilized humans gone
berserk on an uncharted island
After a reel or so of interesting
action to introduce the characters,
the main drama of Sinners in Para

in mid-ocean of a giant trans-Pacif-
ic airliner. That spectacular plunge
in flames is only the beginning. The

blonde gambling girl. a couple of
munitions magnates and puffed

island
Here they find a doctor, who has
fled the law ahead of a murder
charge in Shanghai. Then begins a
drama of increasing conflict that
carries killing suspense as it
mounts to its climax, with life after
life being stripped bare of the pro-
tective coating of civilization.

MOOSE FINALLY
! CARRIED BODILY
UP TO MUSEUM
Huge Specimen in Permd-
nenf Resting Place
in juneau

The Territorial museums big
mounted moose reached his final
pasture on the second floor of the
Federal Building here last night
after 10 men struggled nightly in
carrying the huge specimen up the
stairway.
Greatest difficulty in the whole
operation of getting the moose from
the steamship to the specimen hall
was encountered in easing it
through the museum doorway. BY
standing the animal almost on his
nose and shifting it very gently, the
huge antlers cleared the doorjamb
and the moose was pushed through.
Today the specimen, shot in the
Tonzona River country on the north
side of the Alaska Range. is stand
ing in the museum, dwarfing by
comparison the COW moose which
has been the museums only repre-
sentative of the species until now

Desire TO Paint
Provides Escape
From Blindness

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, April
20.-Blindness was closing in upon
Mrs. c. P. Dreamer of Oklahoma
City and a specialist had decided
she must submit to lfe-endanger-
ing operation.
Her hospital room was filled with
fragrant flowers but Mrs. Dreamer
could distinguish only a blur of
color without form.
Suddenly she had a desire to
paint a picture of the flowers.
From that moment on l began
to recover she says. Now, IS
months later, she is producing pic
lures that sell for as much at $50
each. Before her illness she had
never had an artists brush in her
hand.
1T couldn't be anything but a
miracle" she says.
Something seemed to guide my
brush over the canvas My desire
to paint was SO great / never doubt
ed that I would be able to do it,
Mrs. Dreamer, suffering from a
nerve inflammation which special
lists said surely would cause blind
ness, was not operated on.
She doesn't attempt to explain
or analyze her experience.
Il do not know that my trouble
has been cured" she says. MY
eyes still trouble me and some day
l may be blind, but I keep SO busy
with my painting ! don't have time
to worry about it,"

Tuberculosis
(ampaignto
Be(onfinued
Renewed Efforts Are 10 Be
Made on Diesdse, Es-
peeidlIY in Alaska

4 So spectacularly successful has
been the tuberculosis control pro-
gram in the. United States during
! the past 35 years that the public
is losing sight of the danger that
this disease is to people of all ages,
stated DR.. Thomas Parran, Surgeon
/ General of the United States Public
Health Service recently.
Taking as his topic the speeding
up of tuberculosis control, DR.. Parran
said that an investment made now
to speed up this control would be
self liquidating for all time.
tuberculosis is perhaps our most
expensive disease. the maker of
widows and orphans, the destroyer
of earning capacity and of produc-
tive power" Dr. Parrant said Why
should we pass this burden on to
our children?"
Kills 10000 Annually
"A disease that still kills 10000
of our people annually and that
still ranks as the leading cause of
death among people between the
ages of is and As is certainly not yet
under control" DR.. Parran said.
There are complacent people who
believe in letting problems work
themselves out. Though great strid-
es have been made and progress
in the reduction of tuberculosis has
been steady, there are still barriers
in the way which we cannot toll
crate"
DR.. Parran spoke in connection
with the twelfth annual Early dag
nosis Campaign of National Tuber-
culosis Association and its affiliated
groups. throughout the States and
Territories. The theme of this years
campaign is Help Find Early Tub
erculosis, 8 out of 10 Who Come
to the Sanatorium Are Advanced
Cases.
{ In viewing the tuberculosis situa-
ton in the aggregate, it may seem
more promising an optimistic than
it actually is,' DR.. Parran said. For
example, statistics of the National
tuberculosis Association tell us that
there are now available in the Uni
ted States about 100000 abed for the
treatment of tuberculosis. 1t sounds
huge, but statistics tell us also that
we should have minimum of 1872
900 beds-about one third more than
we actually have. Even this does
not tell the full story, for the beds
now available are unevenly distrib-
uted. In certain areas, the minimum
has been reached and in a few ex-
ceeded. But there are vast areas
where there is great shortage. We
cannot move beds around from one
state to another as housewife
might shift her furniture. Therefore,
we really need more than $4,000.
If we are to provide adequately for
the sections in greatest need we
shall have to establish fully 40,-
900 more beds"
Serious In Alaska
Commenting on the talk by DR.
Parran, Harry G. Watson, President
of the Alaska tuberculosis Asso-
citation said today: Nowhere m the
country is this condition more SER
ious than in Alaska. Here we prob
ably have a higher death rate from
tuberculosis than any other section,
yet there is not public or private
institution in the Territory in which
the individual afflicted with tuber-
culosis can receive the care and
treatment which is necessary to eff
feet cure of this disease. We had
hoped to naugurate a modest plan
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1939-04-20

of sanatoria with the purchase of
the Goddard Hot Springs but this
provision in the Bill before the last
Legislature failed of passage. 1t is
evident that some action on this
matter should be taken in the near
future. Until this is possible, we
must concentrate our efforts on find
ing tuberculosis in its earliest stages
when, through care and the advice
of physician. it is possible to cure
it in the home"
