CAPITOL THEATRE SHOWS 'CYNTKIA'
 STARTING SUNDAY

An unusual film in many respects is Cynthia" coming Sunday to the Capitol Theatre for a three day run and starring Elizabeth Taylor. ably supported by Mary Astor and George Murphy.
 A family picture in every re- spect, it is designed throughout for the attendance of both old and young. For the teen agers, they can see themselves portrayed humorou- sly and seriously by Elizabeth Tay- Tor and her high school friends as they find their ways through the hectic years before college.
 For the older folks it is life-like filming of their own problems be- ing tactfully dealt with on the screen. The picture is pleasant blend of all the factors found in home life. Sadness is encountered at intervals, with a touch of humor and light comedy of situations to counter balance the incidents laden with touching emotions

MULLANEY HOPES FOR ALL-ALASkA LEAGUE;
 TERRITORY BASEBALL

M P. Mullaney, head of the Cas- tineau Channel Baseball League, said today he hopes to have a meet ing of local baseballers sometime next week to discuss the possibilities of inaugurating a Territory-wide baseball association which would op- crate in conjunction with the Base ball Congress of America at Wichita, Kansas.
 The idea was originally proposed in a letter received by Mullaney from William F. Mulcahy of An chorage who has recently been ap- pointed Baseball Commissioner of the Territory by the National Base ball Congress. In his letter, Mulcahy pointed to the many advantages to be had from such circuit. He pointed first to baseball as an outstanding factor when counter acting the juvenile delinquency problems of the Territory, and ex- plained this point by citing baseball as a valuable source of recreation in an area where field events are restricted.
 Mulcahy continued to point a finger at the individual-p player ad- vantage to be had from such sys- tenn In the event the Territorial championship team were competing in the national playoffs at Wichita, outstanding players from Alaska would better have a chance to be secuted by the major clubs and ad- vance in baseball. A visiting team from here would also be valuable good will gesture for AlasEa, Null cahy said
 Mulcahy has been assured that Alaska will be included in the worlds elimination series if the proposed program is successful. Date of the meet to be called by Mullaney will be announced.

Paramount's eThe Strange Love of Martha Ivers," produced by hit- maker Hal Wallis. directed by top flight director Lewis Milestone starring a terrific threesome, Bar bara Stanwyck, Van Heflin and Lizabeth Scott, introducing stage star Kirk Douglas. and telling a sen satiohally dramatic and suspense full story, certainly has the requisites to support the advance rave notices that have preceded the pictures arrival tonight at the 2oth Century Theatre.
 The Strange Love of Martha Ive,s' tells a vibrant and expressing tale of four people involved in a iiabolic pattern of murder and de- ceit
 Mature audiences are sure to be anthralled by this clever story which involves a woman who was capable of murder as a child, her wealSling husband, who is complete ly dominated by her through love and fear a cynical gambler who stoops to blacknail, but is basically decent enough to spurn the love of this evil woman, and a girl whom life has kicked around, but who still clings to hopes of a better future. How they are woven into a web of exciting and taut situations. and how they finally evolve their sullied ives, is said to make exciting and intriguing melodrama.

heart and learns that lasting VIC

effectively than through the use of
power. The characters of Barab-

In a see-saw battle that featured
tight defensive play by both teams,
Smyrna nosed out the Denton
Bobcats, 22-20, in the final game
at the Dover Field House last Sat-

included many Smyrna fans, was
on edge the entire game and it
was not certain until the final
whistle which team would emerge
victorious. Neither team gave the
other much chance to get set for
long shots and the end of the first
half saw the score stand at 1910

point during the game was there
more than four points separating
the two outfits. The Smyrna quin-

substitution and Denton substitute
ed only once. Coming back in the
second half, the Hornets overcame
a two-point deficit and surged
ahead for the remainder of the
