 Cooperation of all Kodiak res idents is urged in helping to complete the campaign.

Pledges need not Do paid ali in cash bu. payments eaa De distributed throughout the year if desired. Many patrons oi the Center made quarterly payments on 1946 donations.

 Attendance totals oi S8,000-- recorded at the Center during it's six months of operatioR in 1e46-indicate the popularity of the inslitution with Kodiak resi- dents. Activities for children and adults are provided seven days B week.

Water Shortage Worse As More Lines Freeze

tional residents began carting water this week as more mans and individual lines froze in temperatures that lowered around 10 above.
 Trouble began in earnest Mon day when the pump at Big Lake broke down. The hose from the pump froze, SO the city system was switched back to the reser- voir where a 4 inch stream splashed emptily into the stor- age tank.
 A fortunate lew continued to have water in lower sections, while for 5 days there was no pressure Tn the system. After the pump was fixed the frozen hose was hauled to the IKEA plant where it took 2 days to thaw. Hooked up again, the pump wouldn't work, so Mayor Lee Bettinger appealed once again to the Navy for 8 pump, which be- gan operation yesterday.
 While the pressure was of the 5 days there were fortunately no hres, but more sections of town froze up Buckets, iackbammers, plumbers and Al Fenner and his thawing device are much in de mand More business houses closed, but many are making an effort to get water lines thawed now that pumping has been re- sumed.
 School remained closed all week. Following repairs on the furnace the water was of, and school will not be resumed until water Is back in the building Individuals who are getting their own lines thawed out are stymied by f,ozen mains, which have cut off all high areas, Shelf koff, and part of the main busin' ess district.
 The hospital is still depending on the storage truck furnished by the Navy. The hospital line was located after days of dIg- ging Navy personnel spent $ hours in bitter cold thawing the line, only to have the main out of water when the thawing was finished.
 A number of fire hydrants have broken. One at Erskine's flooded the dock wareho' SC but did no damage
 Many people are removing bot water coi s from their stoves, re- signed to the fact that the woOd- en city mains will not thaw uA- til a prolonged moderate spell occurs

8 THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. c.
Another O. S. S. Teams Story
Told in Capitol's Picture

Madeleine" could not have been
done equally well by an unknown
who not only would have been more
deceptive to the Nazis but also to
audiences.
As an added chapter in the now
it-can-be-told story of O. S. S., the
Capitol's. rev picture is at its best
in its first phase. This is the one
that deals with the selection and
training of intelligence personnel.
It's major interval of drama is that
devoted to illustrating how these
Americans had to be Invested OF
their sporting instincts and taught
to hate, suspect, and play dirty to
cope with the Germans.
The locale of this dour educative
process is Washington and 1t is quite
exciting to be reminded that such
things as these were going on be-
hind the scene here. Actually, they
are much more dramatic in their
realism than the more violent hap
penings when the cameras move on
to France where the lessons learned
were put into practice.
AS o. S. S. teams went, the make
up of this one had the added flip
of a Nazi spy as one of it's men,
bers. This naturally offered ma
ior obstacle to the teams success,
but the Nazi could not be shot like
the dog he was for the reason that
he might be useful if his fellow
players could outwit him. More
over, he is quite dramatic asset
to the story in showing how it was
the o. S. S. teams never could do
anything in the normal straight
line American way.
X x X
1t is quite possible that John S.
Monks and Sy Bartlett, authors Of
"13 Rue Madeleine" can prove their
account is much closer to the actual
record than the picture indicates.
They are dealing with a series of
incidents which were intimate pre-
ludes to D-Day in Europe, a period
of tension and hysteria in France
when almost anything might hap
pen and most things did.
The point on which their story
peaks is that Cagney, who knows the
invasion plans, has been captured
by the enemy and is likely to have
the secret beaten out of him by
the frenzied Nazis. That is quite an
exciting point, but it loses credibility
in the course Of the hero's founder
ing around France like a Hollywood
character instead of smart O. s. S.
performer.
There is less of conviction than

Stage Producer
Beats Hollywood
At Its Own Game
By the Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
A small-time stage producer who
beat the Hollywood biggies at their
own game is John Wildberg, ex-
theatrical lawyer Of New York.
Wildberg took a story nobody else
wanted, cast that nobody else
wanted, and already has crossed
81, $4,000 in three years. The play
is Anna Lucasta";; the cast is all
Negro.
Shortly after "Anna Lucasta"
opened with surprising success on
Broadway, two of the holder movie
producers looked into it's screen
possibilities. They offered Wilberg
and Author Phil JORDAN a cool mil
lion for film rights but wouldn't
agree to hold up release of the movie
until after the stage play had run
its course.
"They wanted to release the movie
in January of 1896" SCOTS Wildberg,
land I knew that if the play were
worth its salt it would run past
that" He was right. It's still run
ming.
IF we can settle it realistically
chat means profitably to Wildberg).
I see no reason why we can't at least
start to make the movie soon," he
says. Although, I won't be salts
fed with the stage play until It
crosses $10,000,000."
Anna Lucasta" isn't q Negro
problem" play. It's about Poles,
not Negroes. It has Negro cast
simply, says Wildberg, because they
are easier to handle and more
anxious to work"

of sheer cinema, then, in the climax
of the film which shows Is Rue
Madeleine being bombed out of ex-
istence to kill Cagney and the Nazis
before the latter can make him
talk.
1t is not this way, usually, with
De Rochemont's productions, nor
with the work of casts such as this
one.
In addition to the principals men,
toned, the producer and Director
Henry Hathaway make wise en-
ployment of such people as Richard
Conte, as the NaZi in O. S. S.
clothing; Frank Latimore as the
decent American boy who could not
learn to be bad sport; Sam Jaffe,
Melville Cooper, Walter Abel, and a
number of other competents.

Orson Welles is $500, 900 over the
budget on 1.-THE Lady from Shang-

complaining because the picture,
with Orson and wife Rita Hayworth
starred, should be a money-maker.
Joan Crawford has not yet signed

says she will, if they get her Dana
Andrews and Lew Ayres for the

rently getting her the two boys.
Ingrid Bergman and Walter
Wanger have decided to scrap en-
tirely the present Joan of Lor-
raine" play in which Ingrid is max
ing such a big hit on the New York
stage. Maxwell Anderson is writing
a completely new Joan OF Arc tale
for Ingrids movie. Every one in

pdrlSOn CQaC Is more OF less lucVltd
Both pictures employ the docu-
mentary, or newsreel, technique, but
the new one with James Cagney,
Annabella and a generally expensive
cast fails to come off with the dra-
matte realism inherent in the
method. It starts promisingly in
that direction with an apparently
precise revelation of O. S, S. war
time training methods. This is ex-
citing material and all to the good,
but shortly before midpoint the
screenplay takes sharp turn
toward Hollywood's old splll-the-
Nazis. Thereafter its resemblance to
too many other pictures drops 1t
several notches below what De
Rochement has taught the public
to expect of him.
He was a much more exciting
fellow at his old address, THE
House on 92d Street"
"13 Rue Madeleine" is based upon
an excerpt from the exciting intel
ligence work of o. S. S. during the
war. It presents another of those
teams carefully assembled for a spe-
cific job, blood-curdling assign
ment for which Cagney must have
seemed the proper team captain.
Yet his very presence in the cast
weakens the picture by making it
more a Cagney vehicle than ver-
batim quote from recent history.
Also, if De Rochemont succumbed
, to the possible boxoffice appeal of
Annabella, that was another mis-
take. Nothing she does in "13 Rue
