Music Hall ( Continued from page 1 ) 'ear's attraction, "The Sundowners," pens. That will be followed in Janury by "Where the Boys Are," "and alks are in progress currently con■erning a booking for February and ithers thereafter. Downing noted that the Music Hall equires only 10 to 12 pictures annuilly; hence its product supply is less irgent because of that fact than is the :ase with some other pre-release louses. Moreover, a Music Hall bookng is something which most produces and distributors regard as a conribution to the prestige of their )icture. Another factor which alleviates the ituation, Downing said, is that more )ig pictures and better quality pictures are being made. They are good r'or longer runs, thus decreasing the lumber of pictures required by the heatre over the long haul. "I hope this trend in picture-making continues," Downing remarked. No Difficulty Thus Far "We have had no problem up to his point," he said. "We have been ible to find enough very fine pictures :o provide a selection. I hope we can continue to do so. "Should there be a substantial increase in the number of hard-ticket pictures and others of excessive Length in relation to interference with aur stage show, it could be a problem. But we haven't reached a condition Df that kind, and insofar as I know, we are the last theatre of our kind in the world with a stage production. "We also require a variety of picture themes. Our bookings cannot be all of one kind. We require films that appeal to all audiences. Everyone does not like the same kind of entertainment," Downing observed. North to Alaska CONTINUED FROM PAGE I unlikely to slacken in between uproarious brawls, broad comedy, complicated romantics and armed feuds over mine claim-jumpings. Wayne, Granger and the latter's young brother, played by Fabian, have struck it rich in the Nome gold fields of the early 1900s, and the picture opens as they engage in a donnybrook in Kovacs' saloon prior to Wayne's departure for Seattle to buy mining equipment and bring back Granger's fiancee. The latter, however, had tired of waiting and is married to another when W^ayne arrives. To obliterate his disappointment over this female treachery against his partner, Wayne repairs to a brothel where he meets Capucine, an inmate with a heart that assays at least as much pure gold as the nuggets Wayne has washed out of the Yukon. He decides to take her back to Alaska with him as a substitute bride for Granger. Capucine, however, thinks Wayne has fallen for her; Granger thinks he has been betrayed and wants no part of the plan, and Fabian, with all the ardor of puppv-love, attempts to move in on what his elders disdained. Back in Nome, Kovacs is plotting a claim-jumping coup in an effort to wrest the rich mine from the boys and, having recognized an old flame in Capucine, plans to enlist her aid in his scheme. Meanwhile, in another parody of frontier gun battles in which no one is hurt after exchanges of heavv shooting, Wayne, Granger and Fabian repulse the claim-jumpers. By that time, Granger has decided that Wayne is in love with Capucine and tries to trick him into jealously claiming her by enacting a romantic scene with her in the honevmoon cottage he had erected for his expected bride. Kovacs succeeds in having the mine tied up while the false claims are investigated. Wayne, Granger and Fabian start their own investigation in Kovac's hotel which results in a final, uproarious donnybrook that settles everything, their rightful claim to their mine, Wayne's proposal to Capucine, and Kovac's come-uppance. Backgrounds are picturesque and there are some amusing and interesting sidelights, such as a lumbermen's picnic, a tree-climbing race and early Alaskan waterfront scenes. Fabian sings one song, "If You Knew," with music by Russell Faith, and lyrics by Robert P. Marcucci and Peter DeAngelis, and Johnny Horton sings the title song. John Lee Mahin, Martin Rackin and Claude Binyon wrote the screen play, which was based on the unproduced play, "Birthday Gift," by Lazzlo Fodor from an idea by John Kafka. Running time, 122 minutes. Release, in December. Sherwin Kane Col. Officials ( Continued from page 1 ) Williamson, British advertising manager; Jack Wiener, Continental publicity chief, and Emil Buyse, Paris publicity manager.
