CAPTAIN EDDIE,' ACTION DRAMAS
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Hailed as true story more amaz- ing than fiction writer's wild est dreams, 20th Century -Fox's thrilling new hit, Captain Eddie, :" a Eureka Pictures production star ring Fred MacMurray with a bril- liant supporting cast including Lynn Bari, Charles 2ickford, Lloyd Nolan, Thomas Mitchell and James Gleason, opens tonight at the 10th Century Theatre.
 The packed drama of a man who lived adventure and TO- nance thrilling beyond belief-mak- ing headline news with every move, smashing records as a racing driv- CT, knocking enemy planes out of the sky, defying despair on lone ly raft in the Pacific-is the life story of Eddie Rickenbacker.
 Crowding half-century Of laundering thrills in it's telling, Captain Eddie unfolds the incre- dible panorama of Rickenbacker's S amazing life from the day he hitch- ed an umbrella to go-cart ana rolled off a barn roof because Ee had to fly, through the breathless succession of events that made world headlines, all set against the counterpoint of one of the most enthrafling romances the screen has ever known. But more, the film is also the warmly human story of an American boyhood set against the background of free and democratic way of life that provided him with the opportunity to carve out his outstanding career.

MUSICAL COMEDY
 ROMANCE COMING TO CAPITOL SUNDAY

The story of singer who makes the transition from cheap Bowery music halls to grand opera serves as a showcase for the talents Of such varied performers as Kathryn Grayson, June Allyson, Lanritz Mel chior, Jimmy Durante and Peter Lawford in Two Sisters from Bos- ton" new M-G-M at the Capital Theatre Sunday.
 Kathryn Grayson is cast as Abi- gail, the ambitious sister who aban- dons her straight Laced Back Bay background in the attempt to crash the sacred portals of a New York opera house. Failing this, she becomes the star performer in Jimmy Durante's beer hall, con- promise which shocks her staid sister, Martha, played by June Ally son.
 In an attempt to placate her scandalized family, Abigail man ages to push herself to the front of the stage in one opera perform ance but resultant publicity ties her up in compromising way with one of the operas wealthiest patrons, a rake with ponchant for attractive female singers.
 It is the effort of Durante, Miss Allyson and Peter Lawfcrd, play ing the opera patrons son, to cx- tricate Miss Grayson from her un- fortunate position and to give her a brilliant opportunity to reveal her opera voice that makes for the tongue in-cheek adventures of a merry plot.

TrackedDown By 1t. Atwell

South Beach Restaurant to the
bus company. Atwell questioned
the manager of the restaurant who
said that man who had given
his name as Johnson had been
there and had stated that he was
going over to sell the bus COM
pany some buses. The police lieu
tenant found that someone had
come from the bus company and
taken taxi in q hurry. Johnson
had told the restaurant man he
was staying at La Concha Hotel.
AtWeil went to the hotel and
knocked on the mans door but
Johnson failed to open it for five
or ten minutes. Meanwhile, At
well heard the bed springs being
raised and lowered and sent for
warrant from Deputy Sheriff
Moreno Wallace. Upon entering
the room, Atwell waited for the
warrant, then called up the hotel
manager and asked permission TO
search the room.
When Atwell approached the
bed, Johnson said he had left $500
there but Atwell found $50 on
one side of the bed. a pack of
one dollar bills and three fives
on the other side and some bills
on Johnson totaling $3.50. The
number of bills was exactly the
same, except for one, as those
taken from the bus company.
Later Atwell found a band in the
hip pocket of Johnson bearing
the words, Key West Transit Co.
1t was the same as one of the
bands which had been around the
dollar bills taken from the COM
pany.

Some alert detective work on
the part of Lieutenant Ray At
we'll of the Police Department
tracked down a man suspected OF
stealing $133 from the Key West
Transit bus company office this
morning. Atwelps chase ended
in a room at the La Concha Hotel

hidden in a bed.
The police officer arrested a
man who identified himself as
Jimmy Johnson and turned him
over to Sheriff B erlin Sawyer
where he was being held without
charge at 1880 pm. today. The
prisoner faces a probable charge
of grand larceny.
Atwell said that Johnson is the
same individual arrested Sunday
on a charge of impersonating an
officer by State Highway Patrol
man Charles Reynolds. Johnson
at that time gave his name as
Merrill Johnson.
A new jeep which Johnson left
for three days on Ashe street was
taken in by police several days

ing payment of a $500 wrecker
fee and $500 bond. State police

Key West Definite
Choice Of Miami
For Training Site

Jay Cone, business manager of
the Miami Sun Sox of the Flor
ida International League, today
definitely selected Key West as
the clubs spring training site.
Cone and Roy Hamlin, chair
man of the Municipal Stadium
Committee, visited the stadium,
West Poinciana clubhouse and
the Army barracks at East Mar
tello Towers. The Miami official
preferred housing the club at ho-
tells here, however, rather than
in the barracks.
"a good many of the boys just
got out of the Army, he ex-
planned.
Arrangements were Subse-
Iquently made with the Walker
Hotel at Simonton and Southland
streets and the Gibson Hotel on
Fleming street for accommoda-
tons for squad of 40 players.
Bus service to and from the field
will be provided by Jack Sellers
of Key West Transit Co.
Hamlin said that $500 must
still be raised to install showers
in the clubhouse and to finish re-
pairing the fence at the ball park.
A meeting will be held tonight at
Hamlin's office in City Hall. Ham
line has asked Sellers, represen-
tative of the Chamber of Conn
merce, Louis Carbonell, Lions
Club delegate; Wilbur Ward of
the Jaycees and L. P. Artman,
Jr., of the Rotary Club, to at
tend.
The Miami club will arrive on
March | and leave about April 8.
A corps of sportswriters, photo
graphers, relatives and officials
will accompany the club.
Meanwhile, George Mills White,
director of the Key West Housing
Authority, informed Police Ath-
letic League officials that the
children who Use the clubhouse
for recreation will not be de-
prived of the facilities. Louis
Eisner, PAL founder, was told by
White that at no time did he an
ticipate taking the building from
PAL.
Hamlin said the children would
probably enjoy hob-nobbing with
the ball players and would be adj
mitted free to all games while
the teams are in training.
