John Adams Sturt:
By Lewis F. Atchison

Another tradition, alas, has
been shattered. You know the
old line, another Redskin bit the
dust?" Well, it doesn't read that
way anymore. Redskins nova
days take the air, and If you
have an ear attuned to WPIK
tonight along about sos you'll
hear the firm, manly bark OF
John Adams introducing a new
sports show
It's nothing new for the Tribe
to supply broadcasters. You've
almost got to have a Redskin
pedigree to get talking time.
Jimmy Youel recently completed
a stint for a local station, retiring
to rest his vocal chords for sig
nal-calling this autumn. The
lately removed Stephen Bagarus
had shot at it and laughed it
of. Frank Atkins talked over
WPIK between meals, and every

His match with Jarman was in doubt
until the last frame.

TOO YOUNG 10
 KNOW" FEATURE
 AT 2OIH CENTURY

"Too Young To Know Warner Bros. new comedy-romance which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre, is one of the first Holly wood efforts to treat delicate sub ject-that of kiss -and-run marri- ages-with intelligence and humor Starring two of Hollywood's most popular young stars, Joan Leslie and Robert Hutton the film tells a timely story of young love and the almost insurmountable difficulties that arise in it's fulfillment.
 Adapted for the screen from a successful Saturday Evening Post serial by Harlan Ware, Too Young To Know" presents Joan. Leslie as a young girl who falls head over heels in love with Robert Hutton, equally immature, equally irrespon- sible. Though the youngsters are actually too young to marry, they are too much in love to care. The film recounts their daughter and tears as they struggle to make their marriage rich and lasting.
 Also featured in the film are De- lo.es Moran, Rosemary De Camp, Harry Davenport, Arthur Shields and Barbara Brown. Too Young To Know" was directed by Freder- ick de Cordova and producted by William Jacobs from a screen play by Jo Pagano.

STIRRING EPIC OF WEST OPENING AT
 CAPITOL SUNDAY

Against the colorful background 1f the city of Abilene, Kansas, as
 t was back in the pioneer years lust after the Civil War, Producer Jules Levey has set his current production based on the Ernest Haycox best-seller, Trail Town"
 The film is titled Abilene Town. " opening at the Capitol Sunday and lepicts in stirring dramatic fashion
 he violent feuds between the arro- gant cattle barons of the period who itrove in high-handed fashion to keep the steadily arriving home steaders from settling in the com nunity.
 Prominent in the cast is Randolph Scott, portraying Dan Matthews, the first Marshal of Abilene. This character is actually based on that of Tom Smith, one-time New York cop who migrated to Abilene and cleaned up the town. Co-starring with him is lovely, brunette Ann Dvorak. who served as an ambu- lance driver in Britain for four years. She plays, to perfection, the role of Rita, an alluring song and dance entertainer at one of the frontier towns most popular tav- erns.
 Also in top spots are Rhonda Fleming, red-haired Selznick star let, who was loaned for the impor- tant role of Sherry Balder, daugh-
 CT of the towns leading merchant, and iovial Edgar Buchanan, whose role as a sheriff who'd rather play fan-tan than catch outlaws is one that will long be remembered.
 Nat w. Finston, long associated as Musical Director with MGM and Paramount, had charge of the fine musical scoring of the film, with the popular song writing team of Kermit Goell and Fred Spielman turning out three hit tunes sung by Miss Dvorak that will soon be on the lips of song-lovers everywhere. They are T Like It Out Here In The West" All You Gotta Do Is Snap Your Fingers" and Every time I Give My Heart" Miss Dvor- ak is assisted by chorus of dan eers who beautifully represent the "pin-up" gals of the period.
