AUTO THIEVES HAVE
 INVADED DOUGLAS NOW

When there is excitement afoot one rarely finds Douglas mapping and this morning the town was alive with action with one of the eSpisodes of auto thiefs which occurred in Juneau during the night and early morning hours.
 About 6 o'clock, as Mark Jensen was industriously engaged on his boat near the beach he looked up just in time to see his delivery truck disappear in a cloud of dust, and standing where his car had been was one of the Juneau Diaries trucks. Not satisfied with the ap- parent trade, Jensen believing his truck stolen, hastened to a phone to call Juneau and sure enough cars were being stolen right and left.
 But the culprit was mistaken if he expected to find easy prey in Douglas as he happened upon the wrong person For Jensen was soon hot on his trail Borrowing Morten- sens car, he made Juneau in a few minutes, and was followed by cloud of dust to Thane and back before he had sight of his own truck. Finally after a chase through town and aided by his brother, Tom, he captured the thief and regained his car.

 PLAY TO BE 1 AT CAPITOL
This Woman Is Mine' to Start Tomorrow for
 wo-Ddy Run

This Woman Is Mine Frank Lloyd's new Universal story of early nineteenth century romance and ad- venture, with Franchot Tone, John Carroll, Walter Brennan and Carol Bruce in the starring roles, will come to the Capitol Theatre begin- ming tomorrow for two-day run.
 Famed for his many outstanding pictures of the sea, Producer-direc- tor Lloyd in This Woman Is Nine brings to the screen a tale of both the land and the sea against a swashbuckling background of Amer ica's pioneering era
 Based on the best-selling his.ori- cal novel. T, James Lewis" by Gilbert w. Gabriel, This Woman Is Mine" tells of the people aboard the schooner Tonquin who made the hazardous voyage around the Horn in 1910 to establish the American fur trade in the Pacific Northwest
 Tone, in one of his best roles since Lloyd's "Mutiny on the Bounty" portrays a young clerk sent aboard the Tonquin to represent John Ja cob Astor, the owner
 Carroll appears as Ovide, a laugh ing, loving French-Canadian river- man. Brennan, three time winner of Motion Picture Academy awarfs s, departs from his customarily benign roles to play the stern, cold master of the Tonquin.
 Fred Astaire's starring picture, You'll Never Get Rich" is shcw- ing for the last times tonight.
