Lancaster Portrays Sea Captain Made
Tribal King of South Pacific Paradise
“His Majesty O’Keefe,” a fabu
lous American sea captain of some
years ago who was crowned king
by a primitive Pacific tribe, is the
title of the colorful new Warner
Bros, picture which will be shown
this Sunday and Monday at The
Theater.
Burt Lancaster, fresh from his
acting triumph in “From Here to
Eternity” and master of all^cine
matic derring-do, is said to top
his cinematic career in the title
portrayal. Pretty Joan Rise from
England and lissome Tessa Pren
dergast, Jamaica-born dancer, are
the two lovelies who compete for

Bill Seeks to Give
Alaska Title to
Pacific Tidal Lands
WASHINGTON, — Delegate
Bartlett (D-Alaska) introduced a
bill Wednesday to give Alaska
title to lands beneath tida1 waters
lying seaward of. surveyed town
ships.
The bill, proposed by the De
partment of the Interior last
week, would, in effect, permit le
galizing of waterfront develop
ments which have grown up in
Alaska’s coastal communities.
The property is reserved for
Alaska as a state and now is ad
ministered by the Department.

the favors of the “king.”
Filmed in Technicolor entirely
on location in the Fiji Islands, the
story tell" of D'viH O’Keefe, a
rugged soldier of fortune, who
finds himself in the South Seas
on a. mission of adveriiure. How
;he finds it apparentfy makes for
an engrossing action’"amd roman
tic yam which is taken directly
from the pages' of the best-seller
novel by Lawrence Klingman and
Gerald Green.
When Captaicf O’Keefe is ship
wrecked and cast'Upon a Pacific
Island, there starts a series of ad
venturous incidents that include
a search for sacred stones, mar
riage to a beautiful half-caste
maiden, fights with looting muti
neers off another ship, and ro
mantic ceremonies.
All this makes for me of the
most unusual romantic sagas
based in part on historical fact
ever put on film.
Bert Lancaster’s screen heroism
was bom with his first film,“The
Killers,” but in recent years it has
taken a more flamboyant and ap
pealing form. Now he is the real
kind of story-book hero. He per
forms physical feats on a grand
scale, taking over all the Fiji Is
lands and making himself a blond
chieftain of hundreds of South
Sea natives.

| Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
A group of stars called the Hy
ades is located halfway between
the Pleaides and Orion. This group
of five stars in the shape of an
arrowhead represents Taurus, the
Bull. This is the bull that Orion
chases across the winter sky.
The beautiful, rose-colored star
Aldebaran, “the eye of the Bull”
flashes on the end of this formation
of stars which is in the shape of
the letter V. Like the planet Mars,
its rare and colorful light shines
like a beacon among the gold and
silver of the other stars.
Aldebaran is a much larger sun
than ours and gives out forty-five
times more light. The star is so far
away that it would take 28 years
for light to travel from Aldebaran
to earth.
The Hyades of which Aldebaran
is the brightest star, is now visible
in the southern sky each evening.
The grouping of the stars is some
times likened to a flock of geese
flying southward.
