Theater to Show
“The Robe”
At Christmas
The management of The The
ater has announced that a real
treat is in store for the holiday
moviegoers with the magnificent
film “The Robe" scheduled for
showing Christmas Day and on
Wednesday and Thursday, Dec.
26 and 27.
“Magnificent is' the word for
it,” says Willy Brown. It is the
most important and exciting ad
vance in the history of motion
pictures since the advent of
sound. It is the outstanding en
tertainment achievement of our
lifetime.
The immense success, the over
whelming acclaim which have
greeted “The Robe” in Cinema
Scope wherever it has played, are
fully justified. No praise is too
great for this triumphant, his
toric, epochal attraction.
Cinemascope opens a glorious
new chapter in the annals of the
screen. The motion picture art of
Hollywood, as we have come to
know it, is itself a miracle.
The addition of sound more
than two decades ago seemed the
most anyone had a right ever to
expect. But a few years later
there was color, and breathtaking
Technicolor still has a lot to do
with the beauty and majesty of
“The Robe.” And now, when the
age of revolutions in the motion
picture world had been thought
past, the ultimate refinement.
The first picture to be made
in Cinemascope would have been
a challenge, no matter the sub
ject. When it is a property so
treasured and anticipated as
“The Robe,” the all-time best
seller of love and faith from the
immortal pen of Lloyd C Douglas
it took the kind of daring, genius
and vision which only the great
est among us possess.
Yes, magnificent is the word
for “The Robe.”

Alcoholics Anonymous
Tape Recording Tonight
At 8 At The Umiak Club
Persons who are interested in
the disease of alcoholism and the
newly formed Alcoholics Anony
mous group in Nome, are invited
to hear a tape recording dealing
with the subject this evening at
8 o’clock at the Umiak Club.
While the recording, which was
especially made in Southern Cali
fornia, for the Nome group, is
strictly informal, it was not in
tended for a public hearing, said
one of the A.A. leaders.
The recording does contain a
great deal of background infor
mation as to the aims, purposes,
methods and results of the Alco
holics Anoymous program. So
many inquiries along these lines
have been received that it was
decided to invite interested per
sons to hear the recording.
Those who wish to attend but
do not know the location of the
Umiak Club may call Red 250 or
the Police Station for informa
tion.
BALTIMORE, UP* — Chief of
police Wilbur C. Wade wondered
Tuesday if maybe Santa Claus
had paid an early visit to Mary
land.
He was trying to figure out
who could have stolen a com
pletely decorated Christmas tree
off the roof of the Dugout Inn at
Marley Park.
“Whoever took it must have
flown up there,” he said. “There
was no ladder or ladder marks.”

thing for ourselves.
Other business included a re
port from Chuck Frazier that the
goodwill token from Nome in the
form of an ivory hunting scene
was sent to Fairbanks with Chas.
D. Jones, to be forwarded to the
Eisenhower family by the Ten
nessee Plan delegates.
Jim Walsh, chairman of the
fund raising committed for the
Alaska Visitors Association, re
ported that 32 members have
pledge $800. This sum includes a
donation of $500 from Wien Al
aska Airlines.
Inquiries are being received
concerning the storing of items
for the proposed museum and the
problem of securing a suitable
building to house a museum was
again discussed.
A committee consisting of
Dewey Goodrich, chairman, Ben
Youhg, John McNees and Rev.
Mecklenburg will nominate new

Pressures May Topple Communism
PARIS ,W>—U.S. Secretary of
j State John Foster Dulles said
Tuesday internal pressures be
| hind the Iron Curtain may well
topple Soviet Communism and
i end the dangerous division of
the globe.
He urged the foreign ministers

sembled in conference here to use
every form of moral prssure to
assist these forces, which he said
he has good reason to believe are

Dulles, without directly men
; tioning British and French inter
vention in Egypt, denounced
countries which deliberately re
sort to force as an instrument of
i national policy, even though they
believe their cause to be just.
He pleaded with all to maintain
the United Nations and obey the
moral principles of its charter.
If the countries of the world
failed to do this, he declared, it
would mean disaster. He said de
struction of the U.N. or disregard
of its principles would lead al
most certainly to global war.
Dulles spoke at a closed session
of NATO’s council of ministers
which was also addressed by the
foreign ministers of Britain,
France, Italy and Norway.
The American statesman de
clared the Soviet Communist
system is deteriorating and the
power of its rulers disintegrating.
He said this was seen in the
lessening of the power of Com
munist parties in the free world,
in satellite unrest and in internal
pressures within the Soviet
Union for more liberalization, in
tellectual freedom, personal se
curity and personal enjoyment.
