10TH CENTURY PICTURE SEEN
 FOR LAST TIME
Chester Morris and Jean Parker Star in T Live
 in Danger"

One of the years best thrill films is on view at the goth Century Theatre for the last times tonight in Paramount's exciting T Live on Danger starring Chester Morris and Jean Parker. The picture opened last night and this reviewer thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
 Morris and the lovely Miss Parker are veterans in the thrill film busi- ness and this latest venture tops all their previous pictures for swift, thrilling action, sustained suspense, and romantic and comedy inter- est. In short, the picture is excel lent in all departments and well worth a visit
 Produced by William H. Pine and William c. Thomas, T Live on Danger" was directed by Sam White. Chester Morris portrays a radio on-the-spc- news announcer who has one hair-raising adventure after another in his search for thrills to give radio listeners. The biggest thrill comes when he gets mixed up in a sensational murder. He turns sleuth and is aided by Miss Parker

JAIL FILIPINO IN KNIFE CASE
 AT HAWK INLET

Climaxing a dispute over the playing of mandolin, Marcus Peralta, Filipino, was in jail here today, and Jose Rigor Domingo, another Filipino, had 31 stitches taken in his throat.
 The affair occurred at Hawk h. let Saturday night during a dance in the recreation hall. U. s. Depu- ty Marshal Walter Hellan flew to Hawk Inlet and arrested Peralta who is charged with assault with intent to wound or maim. s
 Hellan brought both back to Juneau and Dr. W. P. Blanton gave Domingo medical aid. Hellan said Peralta wanted Domingo : to play the mandolin and evidently msulted him when Domingo de- clined. After a talk with Hans FIoe. cannery superintendent, the two promised to end the quarrel. but when Domingo offered to shake hands, Peralta whipped out a spring jackknife and. slashed De- mingo's throat.

 "Our flag has become one of the oldest flags in the world, even older than the proud Union Jack ot Great Britain. Our government IS sound and young and progressive. We have had our hard times along with the good, yet we enjoy the highest standard of living of any nation in all history We are more prosperous than any other people. We are blessed with vast natural resources which virtually make us self-sustaining We are big III population yet we have room for expansion. We have no national prejudices or hatreds. We are at war but we hold no dreams of ter ritorial conquest. We have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free dom of the press. We have the right to assemble peaceably as we are ,loing this moment. We are the free citizens of America!
 We do not say that our coun- try is perfect, nor that our system of government cannot be improved.

SISTER EILEEN" ENDING TONIGHT
 AS CAPITOL HIT
RosaIind Russell and Janet Blair Star in Com
 edY Here

Based upon the uproarious comedy of two Colum- bus, Ohio, sisters battling for their careers and their honor in the iungles of Manhattans Greenwich Village, Columbia's My Sister ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre. The film, starring Rosa lind Russell, Brian Aherne and Janet Blair, is twice as lustrous as the stage success, and twenty times as hilarious, no mean record for a motion picture whose theatrical predecessor has convulsed more than three million theatre goers in more than two solid years.
 My Sister Eileen" in stage form, was written by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov, who based their hectic, hilarious and tremendously appealing characters upon Ruth McKenney's magazine story sketch ss. Fields and Chodorov also penned the screen version, retaining much of the original play but placing more stress upon the romance be- tween would -be-writer Ruth. Sher- wood and the magazine editor who constantly comes to her rescue.

THE CAPITOL HAS THE BIG PICTURES

One of the facts that has stamped our government as a true democra- cy is the right of our people to make changes in the structure of that government. We have pro gressed more rapidly than other nations because we have not been afraid to make such changes as were essential to assure the safety and happiness of all our people. It is a testimonial to our form of government, and to the men who founded it, that we have been able to meet changing conditions and needs without impairing the basic form of our government.
 "Persuaders"
 There are those who try to per- suade us that there are better forms of government. They preach the advantages of new concepts of government in other lands. We iAcSo Oiiy tO SOiilpdlC tOlllilIlOllS in those countries, under these new forms of government, with our own happiness and progress. The sub jects in these foreign lands have no liberty, no freedom, no voice in the conduct of their government and no rights in determining their personal affairs. They are ruled by the firing squad. They are subject to the whims of tyrannical dicta- tor who alone yields the power of life and death. Fear is their psy- chology, and slavery and poverty their rewards. We are at war to- day because tyrants are trying to impose their will, and new form Of government upon the nations of the world. We are at war today because the enemy is striking at our shores; because the dictator is knocking at our doors.
