COMMANDO film
OPENS SUNDAY
AT 10Th CENTURY

Whenever the bombers wing their
way over the Channel towards the
French Coast, the odds are that they
are after a specific objective. And
1t is usually just as certain that an
other Fighting Frenchman has paw
ed the way, via the Underground,
for still another blow at Nazi dom
ination of his native land.
That these raids have to be care
fully planned, and dangerous under
cover work carried out in order for
them to be effective, is dramatically
pointed out in Goth Century Foxs
exciting new picture, Tonight We
Raid Calais" at the goth Century
starting Sunday.
Featuring Annabella and John
Sutton in the top roles, the film
centers around John Sutton's one
man Commando expedition that
leads to one of the most devastating
bombings ever brought to the screen.
Set in captive France, the film is
said to have a tenseness and dram
attic appeal equalled by few films.
Vivacious Annabella has the i'm
portant role of headstrong French
peasant girl who at first distrusts
the Commando, but later falls in
love with him and risks her life to
help in his perilous task. Lee j..
Cobb enacts the role of an aged
French farmer who leads the patri-
otto villagers; Beulah Bondi is seen
as his wife and Blanche Yurka plays
the part of widow with three
daughters who gamble their all to
aid in the cause of free France.

H. N. Morrison Urges
GIdmorizing Alaska as
No. | Tourist Mecca

A vast publicity campaign-far-
reaching in purpose = that would
glamorize Alaska as the No. tour
list mecca on the North American
continental campaign that would
exploit the tremendous natural re-
sources of the Territory-and which
would establish an impregnable wall
of economic security for all time.
This is the opinion expressed by
H. w. Morrison, President of the
Morrison Knudsen Company, Inc,
in an interview with reporter of
The Empire
Alaska" stated the famed con-
struction engineer, must become
more and more publicity conscious
each day. A publicity campaign,
properly handled, he said, would
bring about results in the volume
of tourist trade, that would equal if
not overshadow, anything they have
to offer in Southern California.
That section of the country is "old
stuff" to the majority of tourists
in the States today. They want
something new-and that something
new is Alaska. Now is the time for
Alaska financial interests to lay the
groundwork for economic expansion
for the postwar period.
Put Alaska Over
There is more money today than
ever before and those who have it
must be willing to gamble. The
Alcan Highway must be maintained
at all costs and not permitted to go
back to grass. Hotels must be built,
airports constructed and expanded,
and the various steamship COM
panies operating to these shores
should inaugurate luxury liners to
bring tourists to this land of in
comparable splendor. What the
Matson people accomplished in the
way of putting over" Honolulu and
the Hawaiian Islands the same re-
suits could be experienced here with
the cooperation of the steamship
companies plying their trade to this
Territory.
Sufficient interest in Alaska
should be inoculated into the AFTER
les of the major motion picture
companies which would inevitably
bring about the staging of produc-
lions here, which would in the final
analysis greatly aid in publicizing
the Territory
Country Has Merit
Alaska's surface, pointed out Mr.
Morrison, has been hardly scratch I
ed" and the greater portion of it |
has been undeveloped. He stated I
that in the event that private capt.
tai were unable to raise sufficient |
funds to exploit these resources, the
financing of such projects should be
presented to the Federal Govern
ment.
"Alaska's approach" declared Mr..
Morrison, lis to block out its project
and develop sufficient information
concerning it to indicate conclusive
ly that it has merit"

WALLACE BERRY
film STARTS AT
CAPITOL SUNDAY

Filmed in cooperation with the
united States Marine Corps,
M-G-M's Salute to the Marines
stars Wallace Berry in a two-fist-
ed, action packed wartime story
that is as inspiring as Old Glory
itself. The photoplay begins Sum
day at the Capitol Theatre, and
will be there three days.
Done up in Technicolor, the pic
ture is not only tribute to Wal
lace Beery's thirtieth year in mo-
ton pictures, but also a salute to
the fighting Marines, the fight
in'est men" in the service.
Berry, in "diamond-in-the
rough role that has made him
famous, portrays believing, tough
as-they- come leatherneck sergeant,
veteran of 80 years in uniform.
Retired from the corps, he later
organizes a Filipino army" to fight
the ruthless Jap hordes invading
the Philippines.
Teamed with Berry for the first
time is personable Fay BANTER, re-
membered for her stirring perform
ance in THE War Against Mrs.
Hadley.' AS his peace-loving wife,
Miss Banter persuades Berry to
leave the service he loves for do
nestle life.
Salute to the Marines" is a vivid
and warm perturbation of leather
necks in the Philippines. Marine
training and valor in battle are
carefully pictured in the inspiring
story.
