 MARINES CINEMA
"Wake Island" Highlights State Program; Good
 Companion Feature

Out of the soul stirring stand of handful of Marines battling against tremendous Jap odds to hold strategic patch of desert soil in the Pacific, has come truly great mo- ton picture entitled Wake Island" Currently at Warmers State the ater where it has played to capacity attendance at all performances since its opening Wednesday, Wake Is- land" is an epic document of Amer ican lighting courage and skill. In it is enshrined the shining heroism of that little band of Marines and civilians that held out for days, out numbered, out-equipped, out-strip- 7 ped in everything but courage and determined fighting spirit; in it are enshrined the meaning of this war and why 1t must be won.
 ! One feels impelled to shout hur- rahs for the realistic re-enactment 1 of the Wake Island struggle, for the brilliant direction and for the splendid action of the hand-picked cast.
 Heading the list of actors giving memorable performances are Brian Donlevy, Robert Preston, Macdonald Carey, Albert Dekker, Walter Abel. Barbara Britton and William Ben dix. Wake Island" is truly grip ping, thrilling drama and genuine 1 entertainment. So convincing is the dialogue and the action to suit it that although you know the story, the picture has you on tenterhooks wondering what's coming next.
 About one third of the film is focused on the actual Wake Is- land battle itself, beginning with the sneak Jap attack. From then on the screen is filled with diving, screaming battle planes, hurtling down on Jap warships and lunging at each other; with roaring cannon, machine guns chattering their their death h-dealing. steel-jacketed denials to Jap troops attempting to storm the beaches.
 What happened at Wake Island will never be forgotten. This stirring film re-enacted will be remembered for long, long time by all who see 1t.

THREE WELLS TO
BE STARTED ON
PILOT BUTTE

CASPER-A new practice for ham
ding Tensleep production is being
tried by Superior oil Co. of California
in its deep discovery well in Pilot
Butte field in Fremont county. which
pumped 750 barrels Of DAT gravity oil
per day through $50 perforations be-
tween 6iS4-6325 feet In 7-inch casing
set at 6.446 feet. This is the first time
casing has been set through the for
nation and perforated. Ordinarily,
casing is set on top Of the Tensleep.
This latter method will be tried In
subsequent competitions to determine
which Is the better.
Superior is starting its No. / tribal

Superior British American joint dis
covery well. British American is pre-
pairing to start a well on its own ac-
count. Manning g. Martin are ex-

Pilot Butte in the near future.
Pilot Butte is the most important
