Stars Take New Type Parts In 'Belle of Yukon' Not only is International pic tures' new technicolor musical extravaganza, "Belle of the Yu kon," which opens today at the Liberty theater, itself far out of the ordinary, with its gay plot largely devoted to satirizing the Alaskan gold rush days, but its stars arc playing roles of a kind they've never previously attempt ed on the screen. Randolph Scott, heretofore a stalwart hero in everything from westerns to society dramas, turns over a new leaf to become a debonair confidence man in u Klondike frontier town. Gypsy Rose Lee, who appeared in a number of repressed and colorless roles on the screen some years ago, now blossoms ut as a lively and worldly-wise dance hall queen in the picture's title role. Can congress with its present setup do the job that lies ahead? Can it give President Truman the help he has asked? Thesee questions are worrying many thinking Americans today.

You can see what is in that report and what difficulties stand in the way of strengthening congress in the latest March of Time, "Spot light on Congress," now showing at the Liberty theater.
