venture will open tonight at the
Gross Goth Century Theatre as a

Arena combats, dancing slave

Last Days of Pompeii," a story of
barbaric splendor.
For sheer magnitude and breath
taking thrills, the destruction of
Pompeii, with its fear maddened
mobs caught between topping walls
and rivers of molten lava, challenges
any spectacle ever filmed. Preston
Foster in a heroic role turns in one
of the best performances of his
career; Basil Rathbone as Pontius

Hale is well cast in a humorous role
The romantic interest is supplied by
Dorothy Wilson.
The strangest love story ever tolc
is revealed in She" An empress
more than two thousand years old

white hot flame which prolongS
her life, falls in love with morta

Helen Mack brilliant as the morta

|Howling Marine Challenges
Boiling Nine to Yelling Match
Screecher Primes
Lungs for Come
Aiding Camp Fund

M/Sergt. Bruce McAlister. THE
Howling Marine" of Griffith Sta
dium, has challenged the Air
Force.
When the Quantico Marines,
alI-Navy champions Of last year,
meet Boiling Air Force Base, ALL
Air Force champions, in a base
ball game, July S, in Griffith Sta
dium, The Screecher will be out
in the infield ready to meet the
best the Air Force can produce
in q catch-as-catch-can, free
style or any other style yelling
match.
Quantico Marines feel, and the
feeling is jointly held by thou
sands of Griffith Stadium fans,
that there is no living man, per-
haps no living creature, who can
outyell Sergt. McAlister.
Just before the start of the
game at 8 pm. Sergt. McAlister
will be led to the pitchers mound
by a Marine Band, there to match
vocal chords with any person
hardy enough to compete with
him.
When the yelling contest is
over, the two teams will meet un-
der the sponsorship of The Eve
ming Star for the benefit of the
Summer Camp Fund.
Sergt. McAlister's beginnings in
the yelling field are obscure. Some
who know him best say there was
never a better fed baby nor one
who spent less time in the dis
comfort common to babies. A
certain reticence may have set in
when he was somewhat older, but
his talent was not long subdued.
Even at a tender age, his was the
job of calling in the hogs. One
blast from the McAlister throat,
and the pigs came running.
Neighbors Complained.
Unfortunately neighboring farm
ers for miles around soon began
to complain. The dulcet tones of
McAlisters h og calling lured:
stranger hogs into the pen, and
that year the McAlisters ate high
on the hog.
Then for a time, nothing was
heard from McAlister. 1t is known
that he served a hitch in the
Marines, retiring to private life
in 1928. He worked at many jobs
and in many places. Having de-
veloped an overpowering love for
baseball, he became a frequenter
of the game wherever he was 10
Gated and began roofing for the
home team.
He progressed from the minors
to the major leagues, reaching the
pinnacle. almost, at Forbes Field
in Pittsburgh. Here his shouting
became an annoyance to the radio
sponsor of the games, and he was
offered season pass just to sit
quietly. The pass was rejected
with scorn. and he fell into dis
favor at the park.
Times turning for the worse and
having developed the habit of
regular and hearty eating in the
Marine Corps. McAlister re-en-
listed, winding up finally at GUAM
tico. 1t was not long before that
Marine from Quantico" became
more than well-known at Grif-
fifth Stadium. Countless thou
sands have heard him. Not so
many have seen him.
Will Be on Mound.
Call him what you will, 1.-THE
Screech Owl of Forbes Field" or
The Howling Marine of Griffith
Stadium" Sergt. McAlister will be
out on the pitchers mound at
Griffith Stadium at 8 pm. on July
S, ready to meet all comers from
the Air Force.
